First sentence: On that final day of October 1793 when 21 accused enemies of the Republic were taken from the Conciergerie to the Place du Carrousel to be executed, Jacques-Pierre Brissot, the last of the group to mount the steps to the guillotine, did so without the comforting presence of his wife and friend, Félicité née Dupont.
