La Justice: the daily newspaper founded by Georges Clemenceau in 1880, the voice of the Radical Republicans. Its article on Gambetta — despite being politically hostile — was evidently a tribute of sufficient generosity to move Marie. ↩
Clemenceau the doctor: Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929) held a degree in medicine before entering politics, and was known for the precise, dissecting quality of his oratory. He had been Gambetta's opponent within the Republican movement; the "And to think they were seven" refers to the seven doctors attending Gambetta's deathbed. ↩
