ONE: THREE:But it is confidently affirmed that Robespierre pursued T��r��zia, with even more than his usual vindictiveness. He begged the Marquis de la Valette, a ci-devant noble and yet a friend of his, to prevent the escape of this young woman whom they both knew, ��for the safety of the Republic.�� But M. de la Valette, although he was not ashamed so far to degrade himself as to be the friend of Robespierre, shrank from being the instrument of this infamy; and not only warned T��r��zia but offered her the shelter of his roof, which, for some reason or other, she declined. She was arrested and sent to La Force, one of the worst prisons of the Revolution, with the additional horror of being au secret. She had too many and too powerful friends to be sacrificed without difficulty and risk, and it was, in fact, his attack upon her that gave [321] the finishing blow to the tottering tyranny of Robespierre.One evening he was at the Opera ball, then frequented by people in good society. Masked or not, they were equally known to M. d��Espinchal, who as he walked through the rooms saw a man whom he actually did not know, wandering about with distracted looks. He went up to him, asking if he could be of any use, and was told by the perplexed stranger that he had just arrived from Orl��ans with his wife, who had insisted on coming to the Opera ball, that he had lost her in the crowd, and that she did not know the name of the h?tel or street where they were. ��Calm yourself,�� said M. d��Espinchal, ��Madame, your wife is sitting by the second window in the foyer. I will take you to her,�� which he did. The husband overwhelmed him with thanks and asked how he could possibly have known her.
