…of Georgia On Servants, Headless: We have spoken of that sanguinary year, 1793. In those troubled times it was that French domestics set an example of the greatest devotion. There were many even who, rather than betray their masters, allowed themselves to be guillotined in their lace, and who, when happier days returned, silently and respectfully went back to their work. -Figary, Paris, February 1890; from an essay on home life during the French Revolution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
