The First Sir Percy by Emmuska Orczy Pdf

The First Sir Percy is an adventure story by Baroness Orczy showcasing Sir Percy Blakeney, foregoer of Orczy's character The Scarlet Pimpernel. Excerpt: "She felt a little strange, a little humiliated perhaps, standing here alone, as if abandoned by the very man who but a moment ago had seemed ready to defy every convention for her sake. Just now she had been the centre of attraction, the pivot round which revolved excitement, curiosity, interest. Even the Stadtholder had, for the space of those few minutes, forgotten his cares and his responsibilities in order to think of her and to plead with her father for her freedom and her happiness. Now she was all alone, seemed so for the moment, while her father and Mynheer van den Poele and the older men crowded around his Highness, and every one had their eyes fixed on the curious spectacle below."

The Laughing Cavalier by Baroness Orczy Pdf

The first of two prequels to The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Laughing Cavalier is set in Holland in 1623. It tells the story of Percy Blake, a foreign adventurer and ancestor of the Scarlet Pimpernel who goes by the name Diogenes. Diogenes, as told by Orczy, is the real subject of the famous painting The Laughing Cavalier by Franz Hals. Unlike The Scarlet Pimpernel, Diogenes has not yet established himself as a man of sterling character or irreproachable moral integrity. He has spent his life fighting in various battles as a mercenary for hire, but now, along with his two sidekicks he is back in Haarlem, penniless and looking for entertainment.
