Frenchmen of the Moderate faction, who have lain hidden for months in cellars and lofts, are beginning to steal out and deliberate by twos and threes together, under cover of the night.
Robespierre has not ventured for weeks past to face the Convention Committee.

There are rumors of a terrible discovery made by Carnot, of a desperate resolution taken by Tallien.

Men watching behind the scenes see that the last days of the Terror are at hand.

If Robespierre is beaten in the approaching struggle, you are saved--for the new reign must be a Reign of Mercy.
