My Life on the Line

Bonjour again. I am back again and I will be talking about how I put my life on the line for my husband Sir Percy. Ever since I found out my husband Sir Percy was the Scarlet Pimpernel, I knew he was in terrible danger. When the Jew came to the Chat Gris and told Chauvelin he saw a tall Englishman and knew where he went, I was worried. Chauvelin and the Jew took off on a horse and cart and rode to the Pere Blanchard’s Hut. I was running barefoot after the horse and the cart. I didn’t care if I got hurt; I was trying to save my beloved husband. When we almost got to the Pere Blanchard’s Hut, Chauvelin stopped and gave orders to his men. I followed them and passed them, but they were too quick and then they caught me. They gagged me and tied me up. I was still not done yet, I stilled had to save my husband, and then I heard a voice that said, “God Save the King”. Percy was coming, but he was not safe, and what about Armand. I had no choice but to scream and say, “Run Armand. Your leader Percy is coming.” I said it with my best strength. After that, I was wacked with the soldier’s belts and the Jew got wacked to. When Chauvelin and his men took off, I was lying there all hopeless wondering if Armand and Percy were still alive or dead. I just wonder if I did all of that for nothing. Then I heard Percy’s voice from the Jew I said, and thought “that can’t be.” One word from him and I knew it was my husband. I was overwhelmed to see him alive. My soul was filled with tears of joy and happiness. So I guess getting wacked and walking barefooted was for something.
