Explain the differences that Baroness Orczy exposes between French people and English people in this novel, using specific examples from the text...

The earliest and most prominent example of the differences Baroness Orczy perceives between the British and the French occurs in a discussion between Mr. Jellyband and a patron in Chapter 2. Mr. Hempseed, the patron, expresses contempt for British interference in executions of the French aristocracy. According to him, the British are too emotional and crude, letting their sympathies for the French aristocrats cloud their judgment and lead them to interfere in French matters. By contrast, Mr. Hempseed serves as a demonstration for the author's view of Frenchmen as cold and inconsiderate.

Another notable example of the differences between French and British culture occurs in Chapter 5, when the French Comtesse snubs Lady Blakeney. The British people in the room are horrified by the Comtesse's shouting and overt display of disdain for Lady Blakeney, illustrating the perception Baroness Orczy has of the French as being bold and blunt while the British are proper and less direct.
