Babette's father was a cabinet maker- a tradesman, and her cousin Simon, who lived with them, an ardent hater of aristocrats. Though Babette never becomes thoroughly embroiled in the machinations of the uprising, she is, in an admirable observer's position for Robespierre comes to the Duplays to live and men such as Danton, Marat, Camille Desmoulins and young Philippe Labas, with whom Babette falls in love, follow him there.
