The Scarlet Pimpernel Why does Lord Grenville insist that Madame de Tournay has nothing to fear regarding her husband's safety? Asked by klovesyourface 15 years ago 5/5/2010 12:44 AM Last updated by anonymous 14 years ago 3/7/2011 10:38 PM
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.
