| Summary | "Pimpernel and Rosemary" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of espionage and romance, set against the backdrop of World War I. Key characters introduced include Alice Gerbier, who is embroiled in dangerous intrigues involving British airmen, and Peter Blakeney, who struggles with his feelings for Rosemary Fowkes amid shifting allegiances. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere in a war-torn setting where Alice is sewing British tunics. The narrative highlights her clandestine efforts to aid the airmen, implying a deeper story of espionage as Lucien, a character with dubious intentions, reveals a cruel interest in her work. The tension escalates when Alice is abruptly captured, suggesting pivotal stakes surrounding her actions. Simultaneously, the story shifts to Peter Blakeney's inner turmoil as he grapples with his unrequited love for Rosemary, setting the stage for a complex interplay of loyalty and desire that weaves through the lives of the characters amid the prevailing chaos of war.
