Based on this hilarious story from McPhee’s bio: “Like Germaine de Staёl, Oelsner [a member of the Jacobin club] interpreted Robespierre’s luck of ease in social situations as boorishness: “I do not know anyone more unbearable, more arrogant, more taciturn or more boring. At Madame de Kéralio’s I have seen him hold himself apart for an hour, playing with a big dog”.
