Описание: Historical adventure novel set during the French Revolution On the rare occasions when Lady Chartley was "at home," the whole of the lite of Cannes society and of the neighbourhood got into its motors and drove over to the beautiful Ch teau de Pertuis. These were memorable afternoons. There had only been three in the last two years; but whatever other engagement one had, it had to be put aside for the sake of this one important social event. It would have been terrible indeed to be asked, "Are you going to the Ch teau this afternoon?" and obliged to answer, "No, I have promised to go over to Nice to see So-and-so, an old friend," etc. Nobody would have believed in the old friend: the conclusion would inevitably be, "Poor things they haven't been asked." And there would be a kind of commiserating little lifting of the eyebrows and a gentle query, "You don't know the Chartleys, perhaps." And one either knew the Chartleys or one did not. And that was all there was to it.

Описание: Luke de Mountford, heir to his uncle Lord Radcliffe, asks for Louise Harris's hand in marriage. Just when everything seems to be going well, another nephew, Philip, turns up with a claim to his uncle's fortune and Luke is forced to reveal to Louise that their financial future may not be as guaranteed as he had hoped. When Philip is discovered stabbed in a cab, suspicion naturally falls on Luke who certainly has a motive for murder. The head of the Criminal Investigation Department, who happens to be Louisa's uncle, reveals his evidence before the ensuing trial and allows Colonel Harris to conceal himself in his office while a witness for the prosecution details the points of the evidence he will give at the trial. He also reveals that he intends to allow Luke time to escape should the verdict at the inquest be against him. (source: Wikipedia)

Описание: Who is this man, this Scarlet Pimpernel?' Each day this question grew more pressing to the rulers of the French Revolution. Only this man and his band of followers threatened their total power. Only this maddeningly elusive figure defied the vast network of fanatics, informers, and secret agents that the Revolution spread out to catch its enemies. Some said this man of many disguises, endless ruses, and infinite daring was an exiled French nobleman, returned to wreak vengeance. Others said he was an English lord, seeking sheer adventure and supreme sport in playing the most dangerous game of all. But of only one thing could those who sought him be sure. They knew all too well the symbol of his presence, the blood-red flower known as the Scarlet Pimpernel.
