The Pimpernel and his Bounders snatched many a innocent victim from the guillotine!

Four are heard - the "Overture," "Marguerite's Dilemma," the "Entr'acte," and "The Duel."

He never says that he would guillotine the Pimpernel himself - although I have no doubt that he would!

Answer: prig

"Sir! Be a lion-hearted prig!" is one of the lines found in this humorous song.

He orders his two aides, Mercier and Copeau, to hunt all over Paris for the Scarlet Pimpernel.

11. Which of these is NOT one of the names Percy called Chauvelin when he was having "difficulty" pronouncing his name?

Answer: Shovie

"Ah, Sho-Sho! Like a little dog name!" is just one of the hilarious lines Percy utters during this scene.

12. In "Madame Guillotine," which noble is being decapitated?

Answer: The Marquis de St. Cyr

The Marquis de St. Cyr, whom Chauvelin had forced Marguerite to betray, lost his head as the mob crowded around.

Answer: ruby satin

Percy was upset to learn that the Prince was planning to wear ruby satin as well, and rushed to the royal chambers to pick out something else for his Highness!

14. What is the last line spoken before the beginning of "The Riddle?"

Answer: Can I trust you?

"It's not true!" is what Marguerite says when Chauvelin tells her that her brother is a member of the Scarlet Pimpernel's league. "You ask the impossible!" is another line from Marguerite, in response to Chauvelin telling her to find out who the Scarlet Pimpernel is. "Bring on the moment of truth" is the line Percy speaks during the short interlude in "The Riddle" right before he sings his first line in the song.

Answer: 123

But no one ever caught the "blind old goose woman" that let the geese run wild!
