The Scarlet Pimpernel

[fajrdrako]

Prince Regent: Percy. Fashionably late, as usual. 

Sir Percy: Sink me, your highness, it was this damned cravat. Simply refused to tie. I ask you. Sticking out like a pincushion. 

Prince Regent: I might have known it would be something serious.

[pimpernelfans]

The Baroness never did seem to make up her mind— it’s described as “fair,” “blonde,” and “auburn” in various books.  Also bright and glorious and shining and all that jazz.  :P
