The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness ORCZY read by Karen Savage | Full Audio Book

[@frankstar3417]

You are the best reader of an audio book I have ever heard. I greatly appreciate you character accents. Thank you for such a wonderful reading.

[@prisci4u940]

Yes, she is! And she read the sequel EL DORADO, a later adventure of the Scarlett PIMPERNEL. She was 'superb' there as well. You should listen to that one also.

BEAUTIFULLY READ BY MS. KAREN SAVAGE.

[@ljnormanhot]

Karens wonderful voice is catnip for my ears. If you liked her Scarlet Pimpernel reading, you might find her Shakespeare excellent as well. Oh, Ann Of The Island is another good read by Karen. 😀

[@elisecollins8467]

She's also done a lot of Jane Austen's novels!

Marguerite is going on about how she could have loved a man such as the Scarlet Pimpernel and I just realized **spoilers??** it's her husband.

Yes!” he said, with a merry laugh; “another little trick of mine. I should have told you before that when I slipped that note into the hut, I also added another for Armand, which I directed him to leave behind, and which has sent Chauvelin and his men running full tilt back to the ‘Chat Gris’ after me; but the first little note contained my real instructions, including those to old Briggs. He had my orders to go out further to sea, and then towards the west. When well out of sight of Calais, he will send the galley to a little creek he and I know of, just beyond Gris Nez. The men will look out for me-we have a preconcerted signal, and we will all be safely aboard, whilst Chauvelin and his men solemnly sit and watch the creek which is ‘just opposite the “Chat Gris.”’” “The other side of Gris Nez? But I . . . I cannot walk, Percy,” she moaned helplessly as, trying to struggle to her tired feet, she found herself unable even to stand. “I will carry you, dear,” he said simply; “the blind leading the lame, you know.” Sir Andrew was ready, too, to help with the precious burden, but Sir Percy would not entrust his beloved to any arms but his own. “When you and she are both safely on board the Day Dream,” he said to his young comrade, “and I feel that Mlle. Suzanne’s eyes will not greet me in England with reproachful looks, then it will be my turn to rest.” And his arms, still vigorous in spite of fatigue and suffering, closed round Marguerite’s poor, weary body, and lifted her as gently as if she had been a feather. Then, as Sir Andrew discreetly kept out of earshot, there were many things said-or rather whispered-which even the autumn breeze did not catch, for it had gone to rest. All his fatigue was forgotten; his shoulders must have been very sore, for the soldiers had hit hard, but the man’s muscles seemed made of steel, and his energy was almost supernatural. It was a weary tramp, half a league along the stony side of the cliffs, but never for a moment did his courage give way or his muscles yield to fatigue. On he tramped, with firm footstep, his vigorous arms encircling the precious burden, and . . . no doubt, as she lay, quiet and happy, at times lulled to momentary drowsiness, at others watching, through the slowly gathering morning light, the pleasant face with the lazy, drooping blue eyes, ever cheerful, ever illumined with a good-humoured smile, she whispered many things, which helped to shorten the weary road, and acted as a soothing balsam to his aching sinews. The many-hued light of dawn was breaking in the east, when at last they reached the creek beyond Gris Nez. The galley lay in wait: in answer to a signal from Sir Percy, she drew near, and two sturdy British sailors had the honour of carrying my lady into the boat. Half an hour later, they were on board the Day Dream. The crew, who of necessity were in their master’s secrets, and who were devoted to him heart and soul, were not surprised to see him arriving in so extraordinary a disguise. Armand St. Just and the other fugitives were eagerly awaiting the advent of their brave rescuer; he would not stay to hear the expressions of their gratitude, but found his way to his private cabin as quickly as he could, leaving Marguerite quite happy in the arms of her brother. Everything on board the Day Dream was fitted with that exquisite luxury, so dear to Sir Percy Blakeney’s heart, and by the time they all landed at Dover he had found time to get into some of the sumptuous clothes which he loved, and of which he always kept a supply on board his yacht. The difficulty was to provide Marguerite with a pair of shoes, and great was the little middy’s joy when my lady found that she could put foot on English shore in his best pair. The rest is silence!-silence and joy for those who had endured so much suffering, yet found at last a great and lasting happiness. But it is on record that at the brilliant wedding of Sir Andrew Ffoulkes, Bart., with Mlle. Suzanne de Tournay de Basserive, a function at which H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and all the élite of fashionable society were present, the most beautiful woman there was unquestionably Lady Blakeney, whilst the clothes Sir Percy Blakeney wore were the talk of the jeunesse dorée of London for many days. It is also a fact that M. Chauvelin, the accredited agent of the French Republican Government, was not present at that or any other social function in London, after that memorable evening at Lord Grenville’s ball.

Thanks! Have you listened to its sequel, read also by Karen Savage? EL DORADO, a later adventure of the Scarlett PIMPERNEL. She was 'superb' there as well. You should listen to that one also.

The reading was wonderful but I'm not sure what to think about this book. It definitely kept you interested but at the same time everything was so obvious 🙄

[@TheWaterBoi.]

Why are you hating

[@TheRickostar]

3:10

[@thedemolitionmuniciple]

To whom it may concern, there is what is today a homophobic slur at 5:22:49 and 5:47:06. To those who it does not concern, I am not saying burn the book. I am not saying change the book. Call this a trigger warning if you must. I did not enjoy reading the term, much less hearing it, even not directed at me or in the context of today, but I know others do not either.

[@lucepelle8393]

but in the days when the novel was written it was used to mean something different so I'd say that it's alright because it's not written to offend

[@publius7682]

Today in America it’s a homophobic slur. But in Britain it means cigarette or dry sticks for burning. (which in this case is what it meant) I believe the author is also British. If that eases anyone’s mind

[@Hakausu]

There are other people, other times and other uses of language than what is known today. These books are a great way to get insight into more of life than what we see today. The term refers to a bundle of sticks tied together, used for fuel. Oversensitivity doesn't help anyone. The anti-semitism later in the book, which IS meant as a slur, includes 2 different characters and truly IS negative is far more offensive to me. But I choose to think the best and realize that people thought and wrote differently back then. It makes me aware of some wrong teaching in my own life, prejudices and possible use of such stereotypes. Hopefully we have learned a bit since then but I'm not so sure. Tolerance goes both ways. People looking for offense will find it and those trying to rouse anger and hatred will always find it too. Thank you for the warning, though. It is good for people who are overly sensitive and easily hurt by things not meant to be offensive to know so they can try to avoid them. It's not easy, though, as all of life can be misconstrued. To me, the term "homophobic" is very strange, as it is inaccurate, but I know what it means and choose to respect those who use it anyway. Carry on.
