1) France isn't yet a republic, but the people (peasants) are revolting against the monarchy and the aristocrats as a whole.

2) England was against the revolution in France..... you have to remember that England was also ruled by the monarchy. The two countries had also been enemies for quite a period of time. England was particularly against the atheism and Godlessness of those leading the revolt.

3) The Scarlet Pimpernel risks his own life to smuggle the nobility out of the country.

4) Suzzane is in love with Andrew.

5) Lord Antony Dewhurst and Sir Andrew Ffoulkes are at the Fisherman's Rest; they're waiting for the newly arrived aristocracy.

6) He's able to sneak past while dressed as an old hag.

7) Whenever the Pimpernel is successful, a little red flower is left behind.
