In 1792, during the French Revolution, a figure named the Scarlet Pimpernel saved many aristocrats from the French. Using daring plots and disguises he escaped from the French and his archenemy, Chauvlin. The richest man in England, Sir Percy Blakenley was married to the most beautiful woman in France, LadyMarguerite Blankenley. Sir Percy was an important character in The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Inspite 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 brotherArmond, who was involved with the League. She was forced to assist the clever Chauvlin in his evil task with the promise thather brother would be se
