Описание: It's 1783 and wealthy Paul D roul de has offended the young Vicomte de Marny by speaking disrepctfully of his latest infatuation, Ad le de Monterch ri. D roul de had not intended to get into the quarrel but has a tendency to blunder into things - "no doubt a part of the inheritance bequeathed to him by his bourgeois ancestry." Incensed at the slur on Ad le, who he sees as a paragon of virtue, the Vicomte challenges D roul de to a duel, a fight which D roul de does not want - for he knows and respects the boy's father, the Duc de Marny.

Описание: Mr. Hector Ratichon-onetime aide to Robespierre and confidant of Napoleon Bonaparte-is a rascal and rogue of the highest order. Nevertheless, his service to France and his resulting adventures make entertaining reading.In 1903, Orczy and her husband wrote a play based on one of her short stories about an English aristocrat, Sir Percy Blakeney, Bart., who rescued French aristocrats from the French Revolution: The Scarlet Pimpernel. The play was accepted for production in the West End and though initially drew only small audiences, it ran four years, broke many stage records, was translated and produced in other countries, and underwent several revivals. This theatrical success generated huge sales for the novel and Orczy went on to write over a dozen sequels. Orczy's novels were racy, mannered melodramas and she favored historical fiction.

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.

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.
