El Dorado by Baroness Orczy
3.0
Does anybody know why the book is called "El Dorado"? I thought I must have missed something, but then I searched the gutenberg text of the book, and sure enough, the word "Dorado" only appears once in the text- in the name of the last chapter. I guess it's just supposed to represent a generic "good place to be."
Well, I learned two things. First, Pimpernel's brother-in-law, Armand, just wasn't cut out for this business of buckling swash and saving those good, just aristocrats. Second, the Scarlet Pimpernel has to do everything his own self - his supposed helpers just cause more trouble than anything.
OK, three things. Just like in "The Scarlet Pimpernel," Marguerite's still a moron.
