While reading this document about Keversau's return to Paris, I felt that he focused on family.
"So there I was packed into a stage-coach surrounded by sinister faces, for at that moment, none but revolutionaries and government agents dared to move about. My mind was filled with the darkest presentiments and every stage on my way to Paris seemed to bring me nearer to the scaffold. As I thought of my wife and my children, I reproached myself for having left them so rashly and for not having embraced them yet once more before we parted. During the whole journey the sight of a rock, an agreeable bit of landscape or a tree noticed by the wayside stamped on my mind a melancholy impress, which I cannot describe. I cherished a wish to see them again on my way back, saying to myself; "If I see them again, that will mean that I have got out of Paris, and if I get out of Paris I shall see my wife and children once more."" -.
There are several aspects to family. Some would include; trust, security, and emotions. Keversau expressed all these factors to have to do with families in his document about his return to Paris. He expresses the trust aspect of family when he spoke of the man that he would be his witness. Keversau would have to trust him to keep his word as standing as a witness for him.
"He appeared perfectly willing to act as my witness, and merely added that I should need another."".
Keversau expressed the security aspect of family when he spoke of his friend that didn't open his home to him. Keversau's friend was looking out for the security of his family by not letting Keversau stay in case his place was searched.
"It was nearly nine o'clock when I knocked at his door. This would not have been thought unduly late in normal times, but as it was, my knocking at the door at such an hour caused a panic among all the people who lived in the house. Domiciliary visits were usually carried out at night and most of the crowd of citizens who thronged the prisons had been arrested after dark.
