Last one for Saint-Just

This is only the second volume in this series--Saint-Just is also mentioned quite a bit in the third volume, but I haven't finished going through that one yet, so this will be all for now.

Part XIV

Since Éléonore plays such a prominent role in Jacobin's Daughter, the excerpts from it will be posted in two parts (and cut, at that), the first with a brief line from another novel.

The House of Tavelinck, Jo van Ammers-Küller, 1938

            […] His fiancée, the daughter of his landlady, was a virtuous girl and had already gone to sleep long ago. The lonely walker was Maximilien Robespierre, a petty lawyer of Arras, who had attracted attention in the Legislative […]

The icon is in reference to the scene with Lucile Desmoulins, by the way.

Part XVI

This is the last one, until I type up some more. And yes, it's in French; apologies again to those of you who won't be able to understand it.
