1: if the thermidorians were so coordinated, so disciplined, so efficient as to be able to control what all of them put in their private memoirs (both then and decades later), what they put into the decentralized press, what non-Thermidorian commentators said, what third parties (including enemy and Austrian/British parties, not to mention "wow I was just passing by on holiday!" parties) ALL SAID...then I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have mostly been killed or kicked out and then helped create the Directory of all things. I mean, seriously. The Directory.
2. Yes, because they knocked at the door and politey asked the person at the door where the tyrant was so that she could assassinate him. The correct response to that is "slam door, call for help". I suspect that that was, in fact, the response. The response is NOT "ask Maxime to come downstairs so the assassins can see him before we slam the door, call for help, get them arrested, and try and execute them for attempted murder".
3. Given that his brother was often out of town or even without that fact, that would be a creepy amount of visiting if everyone thinks you live there.
4. You're really taking a lot from one document, aren't you?
5. TROOOOOOOOLL! TROOOOLL IN THE DUNGEONS! (but at least you're amusing!)
