Petticoat Government
Baroness Emmuska Orczy
- Hungarian-British novelist, best remembered as the author of The Scarlet Pimpernell. Baroness Orczy’s sequels to the novel were less successful. Petticoat Government begins: D'Aumont! Eh? D'Aumont! The voice, that of a man still in the prime of life, but already raucous in its tone, thickened through constant mirthless laughter, rendered querulous too from long vigils kept at the shrine of pleasure, rose above the incessant babble of women’s chatter, the din of silver, china and glasses passing to and fro.
