Yes, that's an interesting point Catlady, but I think Marguerite was spot on in terms of their motivation. I seem to remember that Sir Andrew had made some comment along those lines earlier also, that they were doing it for the sport of it. So while she admired their courage, and especially that of the Pimpernel, she knew they were daredevils.
In fact, Marguerite's courage was the truest of all, because she was afraid but she went anyway. In the end, she didn't actually achieve anything of course (perhaps because of the changed ending of the play?) but it was very brave of her to go.
