Collot is back from Lyon, did you know? He had finished his work, as he describes it. His path of righteousness is very clear and straight and broad. It's so easy to be a good Jacobin. Collot hasn't a doubt or scruple in his head- indeed, I doubt if he has much in it at all. Stop the Terror? He thinks we haven't even begun.
