This is a kind of interesting story about a man whose evasion of justice is the current national obsession in France, but, oh my God, is this not the worst lead ever?
They seek him here. They seek him there. Those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Jean-Pierre Treiber bears little resemblance to the daring, aristocratic Scarlet Pimpernel. He is a former forest worker and game-keeper, accused of the brutal kidnapping and double murder of a young, lesbian couple in 2004.Yeah, when you put it that way I can see the difference.
I see London, I see France.

I will not eat them with a fox.
I will not eat those green eggs and ham,

Tomorrow: Jeffrey Dahmer set to "Green Eggs and Ham"
I have no idea why, but I was forced to read "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in 9th grade English. That passage is pretty much all I remember from the book.

A girly book, bien sûr. But so sexy, and fun.
I read daring as darling the first three times. It was very confusing.
What happened to "his clothes are loud but never square.?"
My Generation speaking. Absolutely the first thing I thought of, as well.
He's a denigrated follower of slashin'
This reads like it was first written in another language then translated. Like Klingon.
"He's mad. He's bad. He's dangerous to know. Former Vice President Dick Cheney bears little resemblance to the Romantic poet Lord Byron. He is most famous for war profiteering and confusing a man with a quail."
I only learned this a few weeks ago myself, and I don't mean to be a jerk, but I think you meant "lede" and not "lead".
"Lede" is nonsense from when American journalism thought it was a profession deserving of its own technical language.

Here is an interesting article written by William Safire on the subject:

I keep a "turtle" in my surge-protected office. (Wouldn't mind a little surge now and then, but the technicians roll their eyes and say that is not meant to be.) Looks likes Safire himself knows a bit about fugitives!
"He hid inside a cardboard box in the prison workshop and had himself "delivered" to the outside world as part of a consignment of tools."
So obviously this man can walk off the edge of a cliff until he realizes there is nothing beneath, and THEN he will fall.
If they want to catch this guy, I hope they're stocking up on anvils.
'Le Fugitif.'
There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance. However, Jean-Pierre Treiber wears clothing and has male genitalia.  ÂÂ
Was it 'murder-murder'?
