served in a priest's house."--Archives Nationales, AF., II., 135.
(List of the occupations of the suspected women detained in the cells
of the National college.) Most of them are imprisoned for being either
mothers, sisters, wives or daughters of emigres or exiled priests, and
many are the wives of shopkeepers or mechanics. One, a professional
nurse, is an "aristocrat and fanatic." (Another list describes the
men); a cooper as "aristocrat;" a tripe-seller as "very incivique, never
having shown any attachment to the Revolution;" a mason has never shown
"patriotism," a shoemaker is aristocrat at all times, having accepted
a porter's place under the tyrant;" four foresters "do not entertain
patriotic sentiments," etc.--"Recueil de Pieces, etc.," II., 220.
Citoyenne Genet, aged 75, and her daughter, aged 44, are accused of
having sent, May 22, 1792, thirty-six francs in silver to the former's
son, an emigre and were guillotined.--Cf. Sauzay, vols. III., IV., and
V. (appendices), lists of emigres and prisoners in Doubs, where titles
and professions, with motives for confining them, will be
found.--At Paris, even (Archives Nationales, F.7, 31167. report of
Latour-Lamontagne, September 20, 1793), aversion to the government
descends very low. "Three women (market-women) all agree on one
point-the necessity of a new order of things. They complain of the
authorities without exception.... If the King is not on their lips, it
is much to be feared that he is already in their hearts. A woman in the
Faubourg St. Antoine, said: If our husbands made the Revolution we know
how to make a counter-revolution if that should be necessary."]
