Oh you've done Charlotte Robespierre too. That poor woman makes Dorothy Wordsworth's relationship with her brother look healthy. I know she's a source of some lovely annecdotes about Robspierre's rather charming scattines and his tame birds, but she looses the plot majorly when it comes to the Duplay's OMG they weren't looking after him properly! No! No one can look after him like I can!
It's interesting stuff though, although I'm not sure how good a source she is on his attempts to save Camille as I'm not sure she was in Paris at the time (was she?), so probably wouldn't have known if Robespierre was sneaking off to the Luxembourg to try and talk him in to changing sides. Also - he was Robespierre. I'm fairly sure if he had been whispering through the bars someone else would have noticed. He was fairly famous at the time, afer all.
