(Henry Matthew) 1875 1960 Brock, Henry Matthew Beau Brocade: A Romance Produced by Al Haines "Beau Brocade: A Romance" by Baroness Orczy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the 18th century and revolves around the themes of loyalty, treason, and romance as the backdrop of the Jacobite uprisings. Central to the narrative is Philip James Gascoyne, the young Earl of Stretton, who finds himself wrongfully branded a traitor, and his devoted sister, Lady Patience Gascoyne, who risks everything to aid him. The intriguing character of Beau Brocade, a masked highwayman who robs those in power yet helps the poor, adds an exciting dynamic to the unfolding drama. The opening of the romance introduces a tense atmosphere as a corporal reads a proclamation detailing severe punishments for those sheltering rebels from King George II. Amid this foreboding backdrop, the characters of John Stich, the local blacksmith, and his young nephew, who is later revealed to be the fleeing Earl, are introduced. Philip's plight deepens as he grapples with the weight of his circumstances—fleeing from the law while longing to reconnect with his sister. We also meet Mr. Inch, a beadle with a penchant for gossip about the elusive Beau Brocade, setting the stage for intrigue and intertwining fates. As the chapters unfold, the anticipation builds around this rogue figure and his impact on the lives of the loyal characters seeking justice and freedom in a time of turmoil.
