frevandrest: bunniesandbeheadings: He [Barère] lived nearby…but on many nights he remained in his office [at the Committee] throwing himself exhausted on a cot to snatch a few hours of sleep and restore his strength. There is a plaintiff memorandum in his handwriting in which he appealed to the maintenance staff for a new bed, like the one, he suggested hopefully, that had just been installed for Saint-Just.
