Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gentleman´s Magazine, Vol. 255: January to June 1893 Towards eight o´clock in the evening of January 22, 1793, an old lady might have been seen plodding down the steep slope which - with the broad thoroughfare called the Faubourg St. Martin, of which it forms part - ends at St. Lawrence´s church. Not a soul had she yet met, for the Terror reigned, and the snow lay thick in the forsaken streets, muffling the sound of her footsteps. Yet she fared bravely onwards, as if trusting her age as a, sure talisman to shield her from all harm. When, however, she had passed the Rue des Morts, she heard, or thought she heard, the firm and heavy tread of a man following in her wake. Fancying that she had heard the sound before, and scared at the notion that some one was dogging her heels, she pressed on towards a spot where a fairly well-lighted shop promised her the chance of ascertaining whether her fears were well-grounded. There she suddenly halted, and, looking back, spied a human form looming through the mist. She now felt sure that the man had tracked her from the very threshold of her home; and she reeled beneath the shock. But panting to shake off this spy, and blind to the hopelessness of the attempt, she broke into a run which speedily brought her to a pastrycook´s, into which she darted, and sank into a chair near the counter. As the old lady entered, the shop mistress raised her eyes from her needlework, scowled, rummaged in a drawer for something no: forthcoming, uttered a peevish "Bother!" and, tripping from her perch towards the back of the shop, called her husband.
