Excerpt from The Reign of Terror, Vol. 2: A Collection of Authentic Narratives of the Horrors Committed by the Revolutionary Government of France Under Marat and Robespierre

The gaoler, named Benoit, an old man Of seventy, and rendered more venerable by his virtues than by his great age, received them with great humanity: he had no beds to Offer them; but it was easy to see that he suffered more even than those to whom he could offer nothing but the shelter Of the bare walls Of his prison.

They mutually assisted each other: carters' frocks, great coats, and cloaks, were put into requisition to form mattresses for the delicate limbs of the ladies to repose upon; and the noble thought himself very fortunate in passing the night upon a chair by the side Of the sans-culotte. On the following day, each person received a bedstead, a small mattress, and bolster.
