They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven, or is he in hell? That damned, elusive Pimpernel. 🌹 A birthday drawing for my lovely twin sister 🌹

We all are caught in the middle
Of one long treacherous riddle
Of who trusts who, maybe I’ll trust you
But can you trust me?
Wait and see!

One Dress a Day Challenge
June: Weddings
The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / Anthony Andrews as Sir Percy Blakeney and Jane Seymour as Marguerite St. Just
Another well-coordinated wedding pair! I love the embroidery on Percy's lapels, and of course his neckerchief is beautifully arranged, with a jeweled pin to fasten it.
It's always a bit amusing to see hair ornaments in the tall 18th-century women's hairdos. Compare Keira Knightley in The Duchess, here.

Sir Percy Blakeney would 100% wear red booty shorts that said "property of Marguerite" on the back
Chauvelin: SIR PERCY I HAVE FINALLY- what are you wearing
Percy: can a man not express his abundant feelings for his beloved upon his buttocks?
Chauvelin:.........I'm just gonna leave

Controversial, but the more I think about the 1982 Scarlet Pimpernel adaptation, the more I hate what they did to Marguerite. The love triangle with Chauvelin annoys me anyway, but to take away the little agency Orczy gives her heroine in the books and make the St Cyr denunciation all about a man being dumped by his girlfriend really grinds my gears. Instead of Marguerite's anger, pride, impulsive nature and love for her brother driving her to betray a traitor St Cyr to the Republic, we get 'I have lost my husband's love and I don't know why' - and what's worse, her confusion is real because she hasn't done anything! Chauvelin set her up! Even Merle Oberon's Marguerite gets the 'ever glorious fourteenth of July' speech, where she's like, 'Yes, I did denounce him, and do you want to know why?'
And this also means that Percy doesn't accept that his wife is human and that they have both made mistakes, he realises that she is 'innocent' instead and learns precisely nothing. 1982 Percy will never reach the level of this awesome speech from I Will Repay:
"And 'twill be when you understand that your idol has feet of clay that you'll learn the real lesson of love," said Blakeney earnestly.
"Is it love to worship a saint in heaven, whom you dare not touch, who hovers above you like a cloud, which floats away from you even as you gaze? To love is to feel one being in the world at one with us, our equal in sin as well as in virtue. To love, for us men, is to clasp one woman with our arms, feeling that she lives and breathes just as we do, suffers as we do, thinks with us, loves with us, and, above all, sins with us. Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol an you wish, but drag her down to your level after that—the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart."
