Excerpt from The First Republic, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Whites and the Blues
Two or three of these patrols had met our young arrival and his conductor without taking any notice of them, when suddenly another body advanced, and the words Qui vive resounded. There were three ways of replying to the nocturnal qui-vive in Strasbourg; all three indicating in a sufficiently characteristic way the different shades of Opin ion. The Indifferents replied: Friends. The Moder ates replied: Citizens. The Fanatics replied: Sans Culottes.
