Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1793, the Café Théâtre's servant girl Célestine saw Augustin and Charlotte Gouze whispering together at midnight about the imminent closure of Paris' convents, part of the dechristianization of France during the French Revolution, which greatly upset Augustin. The young girl gossiped about it to the intendant, who subtly told her to mind her own business by asking her what she was doing out of her room at midnight.[1]
Later, bottles from the café's wine cellar were stolen, and the cook reported it to the intendant, telling him that she had seen the café's gardener Colignon near the cellar. The intendant discussed the matter with Célestine, who did not believe Colignon was guilty, saying that a gardener would have no reason to keep the cellar key. Still suspicious, the intendant asked Célestine to follow Augustin and see what he was doing outside of the café, because he found him mysterious and did not like knowing so little about someone living in his house.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Augustin Grisier is possibly related to or is loosely based on a famous fencing master of the same name born in 1791, Augustin-Edme-François Grisier, who was known to be a good friend of the writer Alexandre Dumas, the son of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas.
