Paris women dip handkerchief in Traupmann blood under guillotine
A fragment notes two Paris women rushing beneath the guillotine to dip their handkerchiefs in Traupmann's blood while the era’s politics stir. It recalls King William's stance against abolishing the death penalty and public attitudes toward executions. It also speculates on American statesmen solving a Chinese puzzle if a queue could be found, and mentions Kossuth hoping to profit from his autobiography.
