[Dorian tries to remember all the times Paris went to the barricades in the 19th century, but there really is no narrowing it down. He decides not to concern himself with that at present.]

I assume on the side of the People? [A careful choice of word, but not a dishonest one. Dorian is pretty apathetic to actual politics. He knows the arguments and he doesn't care. But if Jehan fights at the barricades in the name of the People, then he is a being who has achieved a beautiful nobility through the purity of his actions. Beauty is something Dorian always appreciates.] I can see why that is not the healthiest place for a person to be, yes. There seem to be a few others here who washed up after equally dire moments.
