The Scarlet Pimpernel

Paris feeds the guillotine daily, yet the condemned keep vanishing — spirited out by an Englishman nobody can name. In London the cleverest woman in Europe is married to the stupidest man in it, and lately she is being blackmailed with her brother's life. Orczy invented the secret-identity hero here: the mask, the drawl, the little red flower. You are Marguerite St Just, ordered to hunt the Pimpernel down — and what you uncover, you decide who hears.
