When Valerovsky arrived at Pulvati Street, Pulvati had already been tightly surrounded.
The Lieutenant Colonel of the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Third Brigade, responsible for garrisoning the area, quickly saluted Valerovsky upon his arrival.
Valerovsky also dismounted to return the salute to the Lieutenant Colonel, then inquired, "Where is Senator Thiers now?"
The Lieutenant Colonel pointed towards Adolphe Thiers' Mansion and replied, "Adolphe Thiers is now detained in the mansion, awaiting your decision!"
"Hmm!" Valerovsky nodded to the Lieutenant Colonel in affirmation.
The Lieutenant Colonel's face showed a smile after receiving Valerovsky's acknowledgment.
"Did the detainee exhibit any excessive resistance during custody?" Valerovsky inquired of the Lieutenant Colonel again.
The Lieutenant Colonel recalled for a moment and then replied, "No, not really! The detainee was far calmer than we imagined, as if he had anticipated all of this!"
