The Scarlet Pimpernel Why does Lord Grenville insist that Madame de Tournay has nothing to fear regarding her husband's safety? Asked by klovesyourface on 05 May 00:44 Last updated by anonymous on 07 Mar 22:38
Because he knows an Englishman is the Scarlet Pimpernel, and since she was saved he assumes her husband will be saved as well. Lord Grenville does not know the identity of the Pimpernel. Lord Grenville assumes all french aristocrats will be saved.
