SO YOU SEE, CHAUVELIN,
WHILE THIS MEDDLESOME
OF THE NATION.
NOT TO MENTION, A SEA ON THE COMMITTEE.
HE MUST BE STOPPED, CHAUVELIN.
I SHALL SEE TO I AT ONCE, CITIZEN.
ARMAND ST. JUST, SETTLING IN?
A BIT HEADSTRONG, PERHAPS,
HUH, HUH, HUH.
[CLOCK CHIMES]
ST. CYR."
SIR PERCY BLAKENEY,
MADEMOISELLE.
UH, FORGIVE ME...
I HAD A DEVIL:
OF A TIME:
FINDING A SUITABLE BASKET.
A SUITABLE...BASKET?
HMM.
I THOUGHT...A PICNIC.
PERCY!

SINK ME.
SURELY YOU RECOGNIZE THE MOS BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS IN FRANCE.
MADEMOISELLE MARGUERITE ST. JUST.

MAKE WAY!
CAREFUL NOW.
UGH!
YES, INDEED, MANY THANKS.
NOW HE'S MADE OFF
CITIZEN.
BUT, I NOW BELIEVE
BY SIMPLE DEDUCTION, PONCEAU.
MANAGES TO PASS:
IT FOLLOWS, THEREFORE,
THAT HE COMES FROM THAT PRIVILEGED CLASS
BROUGHT UP BY FRENCH GOVERNESSES,
TUTORED BY FRENCH INSTRUCTORS,
AT A FRENCH UNIVERSITY.
UNDOUBTEDLY AN ARISTOCRAT.
HIS SYMPATHIES, AND
NARROW THE FIELD CONSIDERABLY.
I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL SHALL FIND HIM
AT THE CENTER OF SOCIAL LIFE IN LONDON,
HE DOES HAVE A POINT, PONCEAU.
WHILE HE'S IN FRANCE,
THE CUNNING FOX IS ALWAYS ON HIS GUARD,
SPECIAL ENVOY TO THE COURT OF ST. JAMES
PONCEAU WILL SEE TO THE DETAILS.
IF I WERE TO HAVE THE ASSISTANCE
I LIKE YOUR SENSE OF IRONY, CHAUVELIN.
BY ALL MEANS. THE COUNT DE TOURNEY
I ASSURE YOU, MADAME, CITIZEN
ROBESPIERRE?
ALL MY LIFE.
WELL, THERE. YOU SEE, MAMA?
YOU HAVE ARMAND'S WORD OF HONOR.
DEATH,
ITS TARNISHED BEAUTY.
[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]
PERCY?
PERCY.
'MY BELOVED, I'VE HAD TO
'YOUR OWN, PERCY.'
SPY?
ON MY FORMER ASSOCIATES, FRIENDS?
YOU STILL REFUSE?
MOST EMPHATICALLY.

JUST YOU WAIT!
MY GOODNESS, THOUGH,
YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD
YOU'RE DAMNED RIGHT.
THAT'S A HUNDRED GUINEAS,
HEY, PERCY.
OF BETRAYAL.
ARE TO SUCCEED:
WE MUST MAINTAIN
OUR ANONYMITY.
MASK OUR IDENTITIES.
FOPS,
NITWITS,
EVEN COWARDS.
THE HARD PART IS NOT BEING ABLE
TO THE LADIES.
[LAUGHTER]
TIMMY.
WELL, COME ON,
OUT WITH IT.
LOUIS THE SIXTEENTH
HAS BEEN EXECUTED.
THE QUEEN?
DOOMED TO FOLLOW
YOUNG DAUPHIN?
BEEN IMPRISONED IN THE TEMPLE.
AND THERE'S MORE.
YOUR FRIEND THE COUNT DE TOURNEY HAS ALSO
BEEN ARRESTED AND TAKEN TO THE TEMPLE.
HIS FAMILY?

TIME TO LOSE.
OF THE REVOLUTIONARY GUARD
YES, SIR.
CAN'T YOU SEE
THAT I'M BUSY?
YOU HAVE ARRESTED
I HAVE.
CITIZEN ROBESPIERRE.
AND NOT TO THE COUNT DE TOURNEY
IN THIS HOUR.
YOU MAY GO.

NOTHING, NOTHING!

A HIDEOUS DREAM.

TO THE GUILLOTINE.
HEARD IT FELL.
OH MY GOD.
'YOU CAN INFORM YOUR PEOPLE THA 'THE DAUPHIN IS TO BE HELD
