Publisher's Synopsis
I Will Repay was written by Baroness Emmuska Orzcy and originally published in 1906, this is a sequel novel to the Scarlet Pimpernel. The second Pimpernel book written by Orzcy, it comes (chronologically) third in the series and should be read after Sir Percy Leads the Band and before The Elusive Pimpernel. The story starts before the French revolution. It's 1783 and wealthy Paul Deroulede has offended the young Vicomte de Marny by speaking disrepctfully of his latest infatuation, Adele de Montercheri. Deroulede had not intended to get into the quarrel but has a tendency to blunder into things -- "no doubt a part of the inheritance bequeathed to him by his bourgeois ancestry." Incensed at the slur on Adele, who he sees as a paragon of virtue, the Vicomte challenges Deroulede to a duel, a fight which Deroulede does not want -- for he knows and respects the boy's father, the Duc de Marny.Notice: This Book is published by Historical Books Limited (www.publicdomain.org.uk) as a Public Domain Book, if you have any inquiries, requests or need any help you can just send an email to [email protected] This book is found as a public domain and free book based on various online catalogs, if you think there are any problems regard copyright issues please contact us immediately via [email protected]"
