The Elusive Pimpernel Summary
| There was not even a reaction. On! ever on! in that wild, surging torrent; sowing the wind of anarchy, of terrorism, of lust of blood and hate, and reaping a hurricane of destruction and of horror. On! ever on! France, with Paris and all her children still rushes blindly, madly on; defies the powerful coalition, - Austria, England, Spain, Prussia, all joined together to stem the flow of carnage, - defies the Universe and defies God! Paris this September 1793! - or shall we call it Vendemiaire, Year I. of the Republic? - call it what we will! Paris! a city of bloodshed, of humanity in its lowest, most degraded aspect. France herself a gigantic self-devouring monster, her fairest cities destroyed, Lyons razed to the ground, Toulon, Marseilles, masses of blackened ruins, her bravest sons turned to lustful brutes or to abject cowards seeking safety at the cost of any humiliation. |

| It was a mere flash! One of memory's swiftly effaced pictures, when she shows us for the fraction of a second indelible pictures from out our past. Chauvelin, in that same second, while his own eyes were closed and Robespierre's fixed upon him, also saw the lonely cliffs of Calais, heard the same voice singing "God save the King!" the volley of musketry, the despairing cries of Marguerite Blakeney; and once again he felt the keen and bitter pang of complete humiliation and defeat. |

| The Elusive Pimpernel continues the enthralling of Baroness Orczy's glamorous heroine and rakehell hero. Only months after being outwitted by Percy Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel, Chauvelin of the secret police concocts a cunning plan to catch the Scarlet Pimpernel in France , using Marguerite as bait. It's 1793, the Terror is at its height! Heads are rolling like ripe cabbages! All Paris is seething with revolutionary fervor and hatred for the legendary Pimpernel, who dares pluck the hated aristocrats from the very jaws of the guillotine. And all Paris knows the Pimpernel is the thrice-damned British aristo, Sir Percy Blakeney! If found, he is to be marched to Madam Guillotine, if he isn't torn to pieces by an enraged mob first. But when Chauvelin insults Lady Blakeney and challenges Sir Percy to a duel in France before the Prince of Wales and all the British court, what can a cavalier do but accept? And when her husband sets sail for Europe , what can Marguerite do but follow, determined to avert, or share, her husband's fate! Chauvelin licks his lips, stations his men and waits; he has no intention of fighting any duel. The lovers will be trapped in the midst of a nation of enemies - with no hope of escape! Don't miss this heart-stopping sequel to one of the world's most beloved novels. Introduction by Jean Marie Stine. |
