aristocrat. Therefore Sir Percy showed no love toward Marguerite .
and acted the part of a fool. She thought Sir Percy to be a vain,.
pompous dandy and could not conceive how she ever married him. In.
spite of this she still had feelings of love for him. Sir Percy .
loved her deeply, though he also hated and detested her for what .
she did. He was emotionally torn between love and hate though he .
would have given or done anything for her, save revealing his .
true identity as The Scarlet Pimpernel. .
The French authorities sent the accredited agent, Monsieur .
Chauvlin with the fox-like expression to England to capture the .
League of The Scarlet Pimpernel and their leader. He approached .
Marguerite for help because of her past cooperation and .
friendship. She denied his request with disgust. Through a turn .
of events he acquired damaging information concerning her brother.
Armond, who was involved with the League. She was forced to .
assist the clever Chauvlin in his evil task with the promise that.
her brother would be set free from prosecution. At Lord .
Greenville's Ball she took a scrap of paper from Sir Andrew, a .
League member of The Scarlet Pimpernel. This paper revealed the .
meeting time of the League leader in the supper room. She gave .
the paper to Chauvlin who hid himself in the room and cleverly .
deduced that Sir Percy was the leader of the League. He formed a .
plan to capture the Scarlet Pimpernel. .
After Marguerite realized what a terrible thing she did, .
she told Sir Percy everything about Chauvlin and her brother. Sir.
Percy assured her he would save Armond and the Comte de Tournay .
and sailed for France the next day. Next, Marguerite .
investigated his room and found maps of Paris, a large painting .
of his mother, a large desk with many papers scattered on it and .
a ring with the engraving of a scarlet pimpernel on it. Knowing .
then that the Scarlet Pimpernel was Sir Percy she enlisted the .
help of Sir Andrew Ffoulkes.
