This short story set during the notorious Reign of Terror during the French Revolution is based around a woman collecting a mysterious package, and fearing both the couple from whom she is collecting and the shadowy figure trailing her. Though short, this conveys a convincing atmosphere of the fear and suspicion of the time. ( )
