Sir Percy Blakeney - Husband, portrayed as lazy with an annoying laugh, but really he is the smart and brave Scarlet Pimpernel
Quote:
"Loved me?—Well, Armand, I thought at one time that he did,
or I should not have married him. I daresay," she added, speaking
very rapidly, as if she were about to lay down a heavy burden,
which had oppressed her for months, "I daresay that even you thought—as
everybody else did—that I married Sir Percy because of his wealth—
but I assure you, dear, that it was not so. He seemed to worship me with
a curious intensity of concentrated passion, which went straight to my heart.
I had never loved any one before, as you know, and I was four-and-twenty
then—so I naturally thought that it was not in my nature to love.
But it has always seemed to me that it MUST be HEAVENLY to be loved
blindly, passionately, wholly . . . worshipped, in fact—and the very fact
that Percy was slow and stupid was an attraction for me, as I thought he
would love me all the more. A clever man would naturally have other interests,
an ambitious man other hopes. . . . I thought that a fool would worship,
and think of nothing else. And I was ready to respond, Armand;
I would have allowed myself to be worshipped, and given infinite tenderness in return. . . ."
At the beginning of the book
the Scarlet Pimpernel I though that Lady Blakeney would be a stereo-typical smart, beautiful, and wealthy woman that had no cares in the world for anyone but herself. As I read through the book Lady Blakeney developed into a caring and brave character.
I was surprised by the way she so wanted to be sure of her brothers safety no matter what the price was. I was intrigued by the way she loved her husband and he loved her. During this story I felt that I grew close to Lady Blakeney, as if I was one of her dear friends.
I may not wish to follow her footsteps, but I do wish to one day by all the things she is; clever, beautiful, brave, caring, and so many other wonderful characteristics.
