Bag om I Will Repay!

I Will Repay! is a historical fiction novel written by Baroness Orczy, first published in 1906. The story is set in the aftermath of the French Revolution and follows the character of Sir Percy Blakeney, also known as the Scarlet Pimpernel. Sir Percy is a British aristocrat who leads a secret society that rescues French aristocrats from the guillotine. The novel begins with the introduction of the character of Paul D�����roul�����de, a French patriot who is in love with Lady Blakeney, Sir Percy's wife. Lady Blakeney, who is also known as Marguerite St. Just, is a French actress who had inadvertently caused the execution of D�����roul�����de's brother. D�����roul�����de wants to take revenge on Lady Blakeney and Sir Percy, who he believes are responsible for his brother's death. Meanwhile, Sir Percy receives a letter from D�����roul�����de, threatening to expose the Scarlet Pimpernel's identity if Sir Percy does not help him in his plot to overthrow the French government. Sir Percy accepts the challenge and sets out to rescue D�����roul�����de's friend, who has been imprisoned by the French authorities.
