Emmuska Orczy: We seek him...

Source: NOVELISTS

We seek him here, we seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven? - Is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel?

Source: The Scarlet Pimpernel, Ch. 12, 1905.
-- Emmuska Orczy, (Sep 23 1865-1947), Hungarian-British novelist; She is chiefly remembered as author of The Scarlet Pimpernel, one of the greatest popular successes of the 20th century.
