The Deadly Dagger
When Richad Rowland on that March day in 1794 swam to the rescue of the two ladies trapped in the overturned Berline, he little knew that he was doomed to fall victim to the charms of that empty-headed, selfish little sauce-box, Cecile Laborge, who was so determined to achieve possession of her family jewels and, in spite of the warnings of the grave-faced Miss Simpson, was to lure the young Marquis of Chambeau into a most dangerous situation.
Not only was the shadow of the guillotine to fall across Cecile, it was to fall on Therese Carabbus, the lovely mistress of the young deputy, Jean-Lambert Tallien, who, to save France and Therese, was to challenge the absolute power of the man who had already liquidated Danton, the Pockmarked Thunderer. It was the deadly Borgia dagger, the property of Richard Rowland, which was to play so formidable a part in the final catastrophe of Robespierre's dramatic fall from power.
