Book excerpt: The First Sir Percy is an adventure story by Baroness Orczy showcasing Sir Percy Blakeney, foregoer of Orczy's character The Scarlet Pimpernel. Excerpt: "She felt a little strange, a little humiliated perhaps, standing here alone, as if abandoned by the very man who but a moment ago had seemed ready to defy every convention for her sake. Just now she had been the centre of attraction, the pivot round which revolved excitement, curiosity, interest. Even the Stadtholder had, for the space of those few minutes, forgotten his cares and his responsibilities in order to think of her and to plead with her father for her freedom and her happiness. Now she was all alone, seemed so for the moment, while her father and Mynheer van den Poele and the older men crowded around his Highness, and every one had their eyes fixed on the curious spectacle below."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second of two prequels to The Scarlet Pimpernel, The First Sir Percy could be called The Laughing Cavalier, Part II because it takes up where the previous book leaves off. The cast of characters in the two novels is almost identical, except that we get to know Mynheer Berensteyn (Gilda's father) and the Stadtholder (Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange) by actions more than mere reference. We also become reacquainted with the Stadtholder's sworn enemy the Lord Stoutenburg, who has grown more dastardly and despicable since his defeat at the hands of Diogenes at the end of The Laughing Cavalier.
