"You were not voluntarily there that day in her place, so that she might escape?" "No. I am a patriot and hate all aristocrats. I am woman enough to hate this one particularly since Lucien once cared for her." "When one's life is at stake, it is easy to lie if a lie will be useful, but I believe you, citizeness," said Latour.
"The child whom citizen Marat adopted last year and kept at that awful house on the Chemin de Pantin." "I did not know citizen Marat had adopted a child," remarked Chauvelin thoughtfully. "No one knew," she rejoined. "Not even citizeness Evrard. I was the only one who knew. I had to go and see the child once every month.
The Directory was displeased at it, and ordered it to be immediately shut up; and some time after commissioners were sent to desire that the reading of the Scriptures should be suppressed in my school. I inquired what books were to be substituted in their stead. After some minutes' conversation, they observed: 'Citizeness, you are arguing after the old fashion; no reflections.
The dramatist has only to bring on some ruffianly characters in Phrygian caps, who address each other as "Citizen" and "Citizeness," and at once the imagination of the audience will supply the roll of the tumbrels and the silhouette of the guillotine in the background.

"I salute you, citizeness," from the Doctor. "I salute you, citizen." This in passing. Nothing more. Madame Defarge gone, like a shadow over the white road. "Give me your arm, my love. Pass from here with an air of cheerfulness and courage, for his sake. That was well done;" they had left the spot; "it shall not be in vain. Charles is summoned for to-morrow." "For to-morrow!"
Being the deposition of citizeness Fanny Roussell, who was brought up, together with her husband, before the Tribunal of the Revolution on a charge of treason both being subsequently acquitted.

Unfortunately it was Citizeness Desiree Candeille herself who happened to be standing just where you are at the present moment, along with her maid, Celine Dumont, both of whom were specially signed for and recommended as perfectly trustworthy, by no less a person than Citoyen Chauvelin of the Committee of Public Safety."
