The Scarlet Pimpernel: Summary
| A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. The hour, some little time before sunset, and the place, the West Barricade, at the very spot where, a decade later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to the nation's glory and his own vanity. |

| If you've never read The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, order this great book now! Move over Zorro and Dr. Syn - here is the first ever costumed-hero with a secret identity, the man who inspired them all, plus literature's most fiery, independent and alluring heroine. Sir Percy Blakeney is by day a witless fop interested only in clothes and gambling, by night the daring, courageous, elusive rescuer known only as The Scarlet Pimpernel. Marguerite St. Just - after what one of them had done to her and her family, she had every reason to hate the aristos the Pimpernel rescued and every reason to betray him. Star-crossed lovers meet in the shadow of the guillotine in the midst of history's bloodiest frenzy, the French Revolution! Marguerite never dreamed that the man she once loved, her husband, the cowardly dandy, Sir Percy Blakeney, was the notorious Scarlet Pimpernel - not until the moment after she sprang the trap that would send him straight to the guillotine. As for the Pimpernel, he was growing more careless of his life everyday, believing the woman he loved above all others had sent his best friend to the guillotine! And the merciless secret police are closing in on both! Read it and then read the sequel, The Elusive Pimpernel, also a PageTurner from Renaissance E Books. Both have outstanding introductions by Jean Marie Stine. |

| THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL RETURNS When a young girl swears a vow of vengeance, Sir Percy, his identity already exposed, must risk his life in a daring return to France to save a friend from the guillotine. The Scarlet Pimpernel returns in this tale of high romance and intrigue, set during the bloodiest days of the revolution. Determined to avenge her brother's death, Juliette Marny swears as holy oath to destroy the man who killed him in a duel. But when she plants herself in the midst of his household, the better to pave the way for his betrayal to the bloodthirsty revolutionary committee, Juliette find herself falling in love with Citizen Deroulede, whose noble character has made his beloved to everyone in Paris. Too late she attempts to undo the plot she has set in motion, but her efforts only sent them both to prison, sentenced to die beneath the guillotine. Only one man can save them, the most wanted man in France, Sir Percy Blakeney, alias the Scarlet Pimpernel, and hot on his heels are his archenemy Chauvelin, and the revolutionary tribunal. The Scarlet Pimpernel: I Will Repay is another thrilling romantic adventure from the pen of his creator, Baroness Orczy. |

| A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. The hour, some little time before sunset, and the place, the West Barricade, at the very spot where, a decade later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to the nation's glory and his own vanity. During the greater part of the day the guillotine had been kept busy at its ghastly work: all that France had boasted of in the past centuries, of ancient names, and blue blood, had paid toll to her desire for liberty and for fraternity. The carnage had only ceased at this late hour of the day because there were other more interesting sights for the people to witness, a little while before the final closing of the barricades for the night. |
