She defends the Girondins who have been arrested or exiled: “If thirty-two victims can extinguish hatred and passion, if they can persuade foreign powers to recognize the Republic as independent and destroy the counterrevolutionary army, then hasten to shed their blood on the scaffolds; I offer you one more victim. Are you looking for the one most to blame? It is I.”
