I Will Repay
Baroness Orczy was a Hungarian who moved to London. She became a novelist, painter, and playwright. This is one of several sequels to The Scarlet Pimpernel. During the most violent days of the French Revolution there was still time for romance. The intrigue makes for an exciting adventure story.

Several things in this book surprise me. One is that Juliette is NO child, she is 24 and a grow woman who has been in revolutionary France on her own with her old nurse for the past 4-5 years. Also the portrayal of Merlin as an ugly vicious creature full of dirt and ragged. He was in reality a very handsome man, extremely so. And not nearly as vicious as portrayed. He retired from politics not long after, at the beginning of the Consulate and lived in retirement to a ripe old age.Write Review:
