Before arriving at that happy termination to my existence, however, I come to ask that justice may be done in respect to the reports recently put forth in this body against the memory of at once the most intrepid and the most outraged defender of the people. Simonne Evrard Marat, to the Convention The French Revolution traces a lineal descent direct from Voltaire and Jean Jacques Rousseau.
If the poor old man were kept quiet and left in peace; if he were taken into the country and cared for and made much of by friends, he would get well again; but he is harassed by a sort of Mme. Evrard.
Does the Gaulois really imagine that the German generals would have raised the siege in despair had they not learnt that, as a rule, the Parisians do not study the map of the environs of the city? Old Vinoy has issued an order of the day denouncing the conduct of the soldiers and officers who ran away when the Prussians issued from the cellars at Villa Evrard.
The small room was densely packed not with friends, for there was not a man or woman living, except Simonne Evrard and her sisters, whom the bloodthirsty demagogue would have called "friend"; but his powerful personality had been a menace to many, and now they came in crowds to see that he was really dead, that a girl's feeble hand had actually done the deed which they themselves had only contemplated.
We may take it that Simonne Evrard loved him, for a more impassioned obituary speech was, mayhap, never spoken than the one which she delivered before the National Assembly in honour of that sinister demagogue, whose writings and activities will for ever sully some of the really fine pages of that revolutionary era. But with those apologists we have naught to do.
Some two score men, a dozen or so women, were locked in, inside the few rooms which reeked of dirt and of disease. They jostled and pushed, screamed and protested. For two or three minutes the din was quite deafening. Simonne Evrard pushed her way up to the forefront of the crowd. "What is this I hear?" she queried peremptorily. "Who is accusing citizen Mole? And of what, I should like to know?
He only laughed at me and told me that his love for me had died long ago; he now was lavishing its treasures upon the faithful friend and companion that awful woman, Simonne Evrard who had stood by him in the darkest hours of his misfortunes. Then it was that I decided to adopt different tactics.
"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.
Evrard, he may last for a long while yet. As the hairdresser gave the woman thirty thousand francs, his bit of real estate has cost him, first and last, more than a million, and the house at this day is worth eight or nine hundred thousand francs.
If the poor old man were kept quiet and left in peace; if he were taken into the country and cared for and made much of by friends, he would get well again; but he is harassed by a sort of Mme. Evrard.
