"Lord Tony's Wife: An Adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book continues the tale of the iconic Scarlet Pimpernel, focusing on the character Lord Tony as well as his wife. The story is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, exploring themes of love, loyalty, and bravery amid chaos and tyranny. The opening of the narrative introduces a heated scene in 1789 Nantes, where a group of angry peasants, led by a man named Pierre, are stirring their fellow villagers to revolt against the aristocracy, spurred by the unjust execution of a man accused of poaching. Their cries for revenge against the oppressive Duc de Kernogan signal the growing unrest in France. Meanwhile, as tensions escalate, Yvonne, the Duc’s daughter, is revealed to be in danger of encountering a hostile crowd. This prologue sets the stage for the struggles and conflicts that will be woven into the characters' lives as they navigate the violent upheaval of their time, leading deeper into the story that entwines them with the enigmatic Scarlet Pimpernel.
