begged them not to enter the drawing…room； so as not to disturb the
poor sufferer。 The sight of a woman in a swoon and pleasing in
appearance affected them； and they at once withdrew； leaving me alone
with her。〃 Beaulieu； 〃Essais；〃 I。 108。 （Regarding the two Abbaye

Ibid。75。 〃Greater power；〃 replied a member of the committee of

＇114＇ On this mechanical and murderous action Cf： Dusaulx； 〃Mémoires；〃
440。 He addresses the bystanders in favor of the prisoners； and；
affected by his words； they hold out their hands to him。 〃But before
this the executioners had struck me on the cheeks with the points of

my head； which would have been done if two gendarmes had not kept them
back。〃

＇117＇ Mortimer…Ternaux； III。 558。 The same idea is found among the
federates and Parisians composing the company of the Egalité； which

Sept。 27； 1792）。 We see in the speech of Panis that analogous scenes
took place in the committee of supervision。 〃Imagine our situation。 We
were surrounded by citizens irritated against the treachery of the
court。 We were told： 'Here is an aristocrat who is going to fly； you
must stop him； or your yourselves are traitors！' Pistols were pointed
at us and we found ourselves obliged to sign warrants； not so much for
our own safety as for that of the persons denounced。〃
