My first post is question: Was this story new to any of you? (Had not read it before, nor watched any of the films?)
I want to know that because I'm curious to know whether the identity of The Scarlet Pimpernel, when it eventually becomes clear to Marguerite in the book, is a surprise to a reader new to the story. Indeed, I'm curious to know whether it is meant to be.
I feel like I've always known - I don't recall how I first became familiar with the story - so the identity does not seem mysterious to me. I tried watching for it as I was reading this time but it's really hard to tell what's obvious or not when you already know.
