Show Synopsis: Percy Blakeney, his fiance Marguerite, and her brother Armand flee to England during the French Revolution, since many aristocrats do not feel safe in France. On their wedding night, Percy discovers that Marguerite betrayed one of his friends to the revolution and caused his execution, and their marriage begins to wane. Percy begins spying and committing crimes for the sake of the revolution as The Scarlet Pimpernel, and enlists Armand into his league, while telling Marguerite nothing. The League saves many people, angering Robespierre, who asks Chauvelin to seek the Blakeneys? help in finding the Scarlet Pimpernel. Armand brings Marguerite?s best friend Marie into the League, but he is captured in France, and Chauvelin swears that Armand will only live if Marguerite helps him find the Pimpernel. Marguerite tells the Pimpernel (Percy in hiding) all of Chauvelin?s plans, and Percy believes their marriage might be saved after all. Marguerite tries to find out information about Armand in disguise but fails and is imprisoned. She and Armand are rescued and she learns that Percy is the Pimpernel. She accidentally lets it slip to Chauvelin, who duels Percy and wins. Percy and the League trick Chauvelin and plant evidence on him of being the Pimpernel so that Robespierre will be suspicious of him. Marguerite and Percy reconcile and head back to England.
Character: Marguerite St. Just, a young woman who works as a star performer at La Comedie Francaise; does not have particularly strong convictions but wants to be loyal to those she loves.
I'll forget you the more you stay inside of me the weaker I grow
I'll forget you, tomorrow I will turn and let you go
I'll grow colder, I'll lose myself in anything but you now
For there is nothing I can do now, but forget
I'll forget you, I won't remember arms that pulled me in soft and slow
I'll forget you, there has to be a way to let you go
No more shadows, no dreams of leaning in the dark above you
I will forget how much I love you, any day
But every evening shivers with the chance that you are near
And every morning whispers he is here
Each moment is a fight, not to rush into your light
Not to move closer, but to make you disappear
I'll forget you, I've got to find the strength to pull away from your glow
I'll forget you, God help me see the way to let you go
I do not want you and still you steal each breath I'm breathing from me
With just a touch you overcome me and I let you, I will forget you
When I die, I will forget you, I will forget you
