It's February and love is in the air! As you get ready to celebrate Valentine's Day with your loved ones, here's this month's couple: Sir Percy and Marguerite Blakeney from The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy. Sir Percy and Marguerite are quite the pair. She's a highly respected French actress and he's a foppish baronet in England day and the brilliant and daring Scarlet Pimpernel by night. But, one can't stop the course of true love. If you haven't gotten to experience the joys of this story, I highly recommend you check out the book and read it. I also recommend the 1982 television film The Scarlet Pimpernel starring Anthony Andrews as Sir Percy, Jane Seymour as Marguerite, and Sir Ian McKellen as Chauvelin.
