In the Reign of Terror

CHAPTER XI
8/37

I have not told you before, but there is no reason why you should not know now, that Victor is still in Paris." Virginie uttered an exclamation of wonder.
"He stopped here to look after you all, but he has had a very bad illness, and is still terribly weak, and does not even know me.
Marie will nurse him.

I have great hopes that he will know her, and that she may be able in time to effect a complete cure.

In the next place I think it would be dangerous to bring her here, for we must leave in a very few days." "What, go without her ?" "Yes, I am afraid so, Virginie.

I have learned, Louise, that some of your neighbours have their suspicions, and that a letter of denunciation has already been sent, so it will be absolutely necessary to make a move.

I have suppressed the first letter, but the writer will probably not let the matter drop, and may write to Danton or Marat next time, so we must go without delay.
