Could it be? Is Agent Violet disguised as the Scarlet Pimpernel at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris? Or is it the Scarlet Pimpernel herself. Or are they one and the same?

While kitty provides a convenient accomplice to lull any onlookers with pearl-encrusted opera glasses into thinking our heroine is merely captivated by the lavish panorama laid out before her, danger is approaching with suave stealth. As she elicits throaty purrs from the fluffy rumble machine beside her, Violet is assessing wind speed and calculating how far her gossamer cape made by her Ninja silkworms can carry her.

Will she vanish over the balcony or use her wiles to sashay out through the lobby? Can the pink champagne just delivered by room service be trusted? Do macarons have calories if they are consumed on the run? Let us contemplate these questions and more. And on that note ...

Happy Paris Daydreams to you !

I have that very same cape and confirm that it will carry a secret agent of average weight a clear 7.2 kilometres in a light wind. Now Scarlet/Violet looks a bit below average weight to me so the calculation may have to be adjusted.

I think your illustration would be a perfect start to a high intrigue mystery – it certainly would be a great book cover!

On my next trip to Paris I hope to have Agent Violet by my side to make it a real adventure!

Love the intrigue - and I want a cape made from silk by Ninja silkworms....
