The Prussians, still encamped around the eastern capital, watch Paris stew in her own juice with ‘quiet delight’. Thiers, the man at the head of the Assembly, which was meant to represent the opinion of all France, looks embarrassed. Both the Versaillais and the communards were worried that the Germans would come to the aid of their opponent.
