Find out in 'The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel' by Baroness Orczy.
In 1794, the reign of terror is still raging in Paris, while people are imprisoned and executed indiscriminately in the name of the revolution. The Scarlett Pimpernel, much to the chagrin of his enemies, is still at large, but Agent Chauvelin refuses to give up. He captures the Pimpernel's beloved Marguerite in the hope of luring out his enemy.
The Scarlett Pimpernel has been adapted for movies and TV over the years with the most well known being from 1982 starring Jane Seymour and Ian McKellen. Baroness Orczy was a British author, born in Hungary, who lived in the period 1865 – 1947. Her literary legacy consists of a series of novels and playwrights. She gained wide popularity in 1905 with the publication of "The Scarlet Pimpernel", a play which she wrote together with her husband. The interest that followed after the first publication led to several sequels. Baroness Orczy was also an important figure during World War I as she established an organization that was women-orientated and aimed to encourage them to seek active service in the armed forces.
