Vain are thy shrieks a detachment of thy own soldiers forces its way into the room a pistol shot rings out, and thou with shattered jaw, a ghastly spectacle, facest thy end. Thou fallest, and some spit upon thy prostrate form, others stab thee with their knives. Still living, thy body is hurried before the tribunal thou thyself didst form, and thence to the guillotine.
The horrors of the madwomen thou facest in Salpetriere; the obscene shouts and curses of the fallen; the fury of the female criminal; the misery of the poor distracted half-wits, where mad and sane are given the same cell: these shall be but confused phantasmagoria projected on thy sick brain during this prison time before the awful Storm breaks the lightning strikes the thunder crashes, and the sharp female called La Guillotine holds thee in its embrace.
