'was behaving very badly； acting tyrannically in the most outrageous
manner at the theaters and everywhere else； striking women and tearing
their bonnets to pieces。 Your men commit rape； pillage； and massacre。〃
To which he replied； 'Well； what shall I do？ I know that they are a

for my revolutionary army。 Find me honest people； if you can； that
will do that business。'〃 （Prudhomme； 〃Crimes de la Révolution；〃 V。
