FRANCE, PARIS. PLACE LOUIS XV. MAY 27TH 1789[/size]
ANIMUS DATABASE - May 27th 1789: Jacques de Flesselles is approached by voters from all three estates. These voters asked to sit at the town hall, to participate in the management of the city.[/font]
It was a sunny day in Paris, although there were some clouds in the sky, none of them served to block the sun's golden rays. Today wasn't proving to be a very eventful day, until now that is. The square was just bustling with activity. Some were merchants, trying to peddle their wares. Others were friends or colleagues, making small talk with each other. There were, of course, a few lovers making their daily rendez-vous in the square, but they were few and tried their best to be something discreet.
Now entering the Place Louis XV was a large group, a crowd of sorts. They were all men and all of them were following a single man, just ahead of the crowd. Some members of the crowd attempted to keep pace with the man and speak with him, but he would just shake his head and walk faster. Eventually the man sighed and turned to face the horde behind him. One man in the back of the crowd rushed forward, he spoke rapidly, "Monsieur! We wish only to participate i-"
The man interrupted him, "And you know very well that the provost could allow that." The other man shot back, "And? Are you not Jacques Flesselles?" The man shook his head, "Yes, I am he. But, what you propose seems like madness to me. Why should I allow the voters to do such a things?" The crowd dropped silent, perhaps hoping someone from within the crowd could come forth, or maybe someone from outside could step in and help them.
