At the end of dreadful imprisonments, looms for the hapless pair the dread Scaffold.... A real Republic teeters for a short period on the crest of the Revolutionary wave. Men are mad with the joy over the new thought of universal brotherhood. For a dark ring of foes spurred to invasion by the King's misfortunes surrounds France on every side.
