Pimpernel and Rosemary by Baroness Orczy (ebook reader 7 inch TXT) 📕
Description
Rosemary, the former love of Peter Blakeney, is about to be married to one of Peter’s friends. A famous journalist, she is asked to come to Transylvania and report on the Romanian occupation following the first World War, having travelled there many times in her childhood with Peter’s mother. She agrees to move up her wedding so that her fiancé can travel with her. Soon after they get there, Peter’s nephew and girlfriend are arrested for treason, and Rosemary is given a terrible choice—all while Peter arrives in the country as well, seemingly working against his own family.
Just as she went back several generations in previous entries in the series, this time the Baroness Orczy goes forward several, to the years immediately following World War I. Having grown up in Hungary, she sets the story in an area of the world very familiar to her, weaving her fictional characters into the real-world history of the time.

“Rosemary, when can we be married?” Peter asked abruptly.
She couldn’t help smiling. It, too, was so like Peter. “I’ve waited two years, dash it all,” he went on. “Two years in hell. Now I’m not going to wait any longer. When can we be married, Rosemary?”
Then Rosemary ceased to watch the blackbird and turned slowly to look at Peter.
“Whenever you like, dear,” she replied.
