A Minuet
by Louis N. Parker.
A Room in the prison of the Conciergerie. On the walls there are caricatures of the King and a picture of the guillotine; at a table sits a Marquis reading Voltaire. While he awaits the summons to execution he recalls his loves and congratulates himself that the Marchioness is of so fine a breed that she will take his death without displaying her emotions.
Time: During 'The Terror'
