Back to Robespierre--
-
fumbling through his papers here to get to the appropriate point--
-
they tried to kill Robespierre,
-
of course, as the terror gets more organized.
-
He had a tendency, as does Saint-Just and the other ones that say,
-
"If we just have one more terror, one more round of terror,
-
"we'll finally save the Revolution and all will be well."
-
Lots of people in the assembly looked around, reasonably enough, and said,
-
"We might be the next victims."
-
He became increasingly tired, fatigued.
-
He was never a dramatic speaker,
-
but it was as if he no longer wanted to be heard.
