ink_n_impSo, there I was, on the bus to return to Water St, engrossed in the NYU Library's copy of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Marguerite, wife of Percy/the Scarlet Pimpernel, has just arrived in France with Sir Andrew in the hopes of warning Percy that his cover has been blown andthe oddly alluring Javert 2.0 Crazy Motherfucker the FIEND Chauvelin has set a trap for Percy that will lead him straight to Madame Guillotine!
So there's Marguerite at the seedy "Chat Gris"--a place Andrew knows Percy is going to return too-- hiding in the attic, when who walks in BUT the FIEND Chauvelin, who proceeds to order dinner and remind his secretary of how they are EVILLY going to capture Percy, to Marguerite's horror, of course. He then sends his secretary off, and there's M., still sitting in the attic, wondering what the hell she's going to DO about this, when suddenly!--
Percy's voice can be heard getting closer to the tavern, as he is cheerfully and lustily singing "God Save the King", which is SOOOOOO the thing to do in Terror! France, dontchaknow!! WHEN--
...And that's when the NYU bus stopped and I had to get off.
ZOMG OF ALL THE TIMES TO FORCE A CLIFFHANGER!!!! *FUMES!!*
I think I'm in love with this book. Or I would be, if it weren't for all the flowery descriptions of EVERY SINGLE ITEM THE CHARACTERS ARE TASTEFULLY AND STYLISHLY WEARING!! SRSLY, it's making me wanna take a few aristos to visit Madame Guillotine myself.
*returns to reading. There better be a Chauvelin/Percy duel. A big, hot, SEXY duel.*
