Louisa, however, did not remain alone any longer, for Teresa and several kind neighbors took their turns night and day to care for the poor invalid. Teresa brought from home pillows and blankets, and had a good hot fire always going in the grate. Dr. Lebon was called immediately, but it was too late; he could only make her last hours more comfortable. A few days later she died in Teresa's arms.
You almost lost your life, that time?" "Only by the thickness of a semmah seed did I preserve it," answered the Frenchman. "My mechanician, Lebon, and I we fell among them on account of engine trouble, near the oasis of Adrar, not far from here. We had no machine-gun nothing but revolvers. We stood them off for seven hours, before they rushed us.
Citizen Lebon is said to have dipped his sword into the blood which flowed from the guillotine, whilst exclaiming: "Comme je l'aime ce sang coule de traitre!" but he and Collot and Danton and Robespierre, all of them in fact would have regarded with more delight still the blood of any one of their colleagues.
Lebon had long since been told of his rescue; he and his lieutenant had embraced and had given each other a long story the enslaved man's story making Leclair's face white with rage, his heart a furnace of vengeance on all Islam.
The piston in this engine was thrown upwards, this in turn forcing a pump piston down which did work in raising water. This was the first real gas engine, though it was crude and very imperfectly arranged. In 1801 Franzose Lebon described a machine to be driven by means of coal-gas.
With an effort I steadied myself as I came near the bed where my dearest one lay so still that lovely face so white, the lips slightly parted with just a faint stirring of the breath. The room was full of people, some weeping silently, some trying to choke back their sobs. Others, like my father and Dr. Lebon, with an agony showing on their faces much more terrible than any tears.
Paris, "His. de Joseph Lebon," I., 273, 370."Archives des Affaires etrangeres," vol. 329. Letter of Gadolle, September 11, 1793. "I saw Duquesnoy, the deputy, dead drunk at Bergues, on Whit-Monday, at 11 o'clock in the evening." "Un Sejour en France, 1792 to 1796, p. 136. "His naturally savage temper is excited to madness by the abuse of strong drink.
You'll have to thank him especially, Paula. He has a reputation of being not always so amiable." "I will take him a lovely bunch of flowers," said Paula. "Humph!" said Louis, "I'm sure I don't know what he'd do with them. He doesn't often get flowers from his tenants." Paula walked about the room as in a dream, examining everything. The table in the center had been loaned by Dr. Lebon.
Bertrand of the Carmagnoles. Something more we had to say about him. But let him go. We did not seek him out, and will not keep him longer. If those who call themselves his friends had not forced him on our notice we should never have vouchsafed to him more than a passing word of scorn and abhorrence, such as we might fling at his brethren, Hébert and Fouquier Tinville, and Carrier and Lebon.
Exhausted by remorse and grief, I threw myself on my bed and continued crying until at last I fell into a heavy sleep. During the week that followed, Catalina hovered between life and death and good old Dr. Lebon came and went two or three times a day.
