scarlet pimpernel

a fiction character created by baroness orczy. an english dandy who leads a secret life saving french aristocrats from the guillotine. he leaves a pimpernel flower for the french revolitionaries.

They seek him here, they seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.

That damned elusive Pimpernel!
