MAM'ZELLE GUILLOTINE
Author : Baroness Orczy
France to-day is desperate. Her people are starving. Women and children cry for bread; famine, injustice and
oppression have made slaves of the men. But the time has come at last when the cry for freedom and for
justice has drowned the wails of hungry children. It is Sunday the twelfth of July. Camille Desmoulins the
fiery young demagogue is here, standing on a table in the Palais Royal, a pistol in each hand, with a herd of
gaunt and hollow-eyed men around him.
