She wondered why he had kept them. Her eyes skimming over the dates, one headline caught her attention. It read: 'Women Attempt to Gain Power Again'. It was from an article dated from the 1830s that in short, began reminding people of the rise of utopian social feminists in the late 1700s: Suzanne Voilquin, Reine Guindorf, Claire Demar, Pauline Roland, Prosper Enfantin, and Charles Fourier among others.

Bloodshed is indeed a terrible spectacle, but there are other things almost as fearful as blood. "There are crimes which do not make us shout and turn pale like the guillotine, but deadlier in their workings. God forbid that I should say a word to weaken the thrill of horror with which we contemplate the outrages of the French Revolution! But when I hear that Revolution quoted to frighten us from Reform, to show us the danger of lifting up the depressed and ignorant mass, I must ask whence it came? and the answer is, from the want of culture among the mass of the people, and from a corruption of the great, too deep to be purged away except by destruction. Even the Atheism and Infidelity of F

And Ryan no, Monsieur Ashford had been distant to the point of cruelty. She had known him once as a man of warmth and laughter. Now he spoke in clipped sentences, his gaze unreadable, as if every word cost him a measure of pain. Amelia pressed her fingers to the windowpane. Beyond the glass, the courtyard shimmered with puddles from the day’s rain. Somewhere beyond those gates lay Paris and the rising tide of revolution. She had seen its edges in the villages: bread riots, tricolour flags, whispers of vengeance. France was unraveling, one thread at a time.

“I heard about your conflict, but I hope you are aware that he loves you so much, no less than Patrick’s father.” “What are you talking about?” Mike just joined them. “I was just telling Jack about the history of the Château de Fontaine-Henry. It is interesting that the owners of the castle were the same family for over ten centuries.” Jo tried to make a story that he won’t be suspicious about their dismissed conversation. “Hm…” “The castle is fully furnished and still inhabited, houses a remarkable collection of paintings, which were created during the French Revolution. The paintings of Nicolas Mignard, Rubens, Correggio and many more adorn the walls of the specious halls. And we are goin

I read the same paragraph about the French Revolution three times. I stood up. If my brain wouldn't cooperate with history, I'd work on French. Our group project needed research — there was a collection of Molière criticism on the top shelf that would help with the L'Avare adaptation. I found the spine, dark blue, wedged between two oversized dictionaries, and stretched onto my toes. My fingertips grazed the binding. Not enough. I went up on one foot, arm fully extended. The shelf rocked. A hand reached past my shoulder and pulled the book free.

Amber cleared her throat and crossed her legs ladylike. “You do realize Mr. Clemonte that you chose for us to dine near the Place de la concorde? I can see it from my window. Not a very good romantic choice.” “Oh, what I just felt is a good argument against that Love,” he chuckled, “but go on, I’m intrigued.” She sipped at her water and then wiped her mouth with a cloth napkin. “Nothing says romance like dining with a view of the place where Marie Antoinette and King Louis were beheaded during the French revolution.”

In as much as I would have loved to experience what a day in the Prohibition Era was like the discrimination against my gender and skin dims the eagerness inside me to seize the opportunity to travel back in time. Pausing mid-step I took out my phone when I heard it vibrate in my front pocket. I pulled it out smiling when I noticed a message from Marcie complaining that she was bored out of her mind. She had left with her mother to go visit her aunt who lived out of the city and with the free day on my plate I decided to make the most of it. When I told her what I was doing as expected she called me a nerd for finding thrill in the words on a page. But what could I say, I couldn't help it. T

She left at the first opportunity. “What can I do for you, Oscar?” All the world-renowned artwork and historical pieces that had come into my possession had been handed over to Oscar years ago. My late father had had one of the most powerful paintings in French history, Liberty Leading the People, a famous work inspired by the French Revolution, and I’d gifted it to the Aristocrats as a gesture of friendship. We’d been working together ever since, sharing information, killing each other’s enemies, and pardoning our allies.

“Until the witch hunts of the fifteenth century are moving ever more in a terrifying direction––” "Wait a minute!" she immediately stopped the man, who was about to continue his speech. “They died in the fifteenth century? Then why is this room thick with the atmosphere of the eighteenth century? I thought they died in the eighteenth century!” “Because I don't like anything related to the fifteenth century. And you said you liked Marie Antoinette, admired her life story before the French Revolution killed her. It's a shame the execution of her death, considering she was one of the nicest women I've ever met. So was King Louis XVII."
