The part where Eleonore lies naked in Robespierre's bed and Robespierre's like "guess I gotta sleep with her. No way around it" and then he does and they both hate it.
It's SO painfully awkward but the last time I re-read A Place of Greater Safety I ended up absolutely losing it over this part because it reminded me of an article I'd read about a French politician who had an affair and defended himself by saying, basically, "Robespierre was a virgin and look where that got him."
