# Amédé Colombe — Sir Percy Hits Back character guide > Amédé Colombe in Sir Percy Hits Back by Baroness Orczy. **Role:** supporting **Also known as:** Amédé, Colombe, young Colombe, M'sieu' Colombe **First appearance:** 0000-i ## Snapshot A grocer's son swept into revolutionary peril, he owes his life to English strangers and loves one girl too fiercely to measure the cost. ## Who they are Amédé Colombe is a timid young Dauphinois whose world has narrowed to two fixed points: the miraculous Englishmen who saved him from the guillotine, and Fleurette, the girl he left behind at Lou Mas. He burns with a helpless, passionate devotion that makes him reckless in word if not in deed — he tells Sir Percy he would curse the man who saved him if harm came to her. His anxious trust and his willingness to obey without understanding give the rescue its human stakes in the early chapters. ## Relationships ### [Fleurette](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/characters/fleurette) _romantic_ Amédé is a young suitor deeply in love with Fleurette, though his feelings are not fully reciprocated. ### [Fleurette](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/characters/fleurette) _romantic_ Amédé is a young suitor deeply in love with Fleurette, though his feelings are not fully reciprocated. ### [Fleurette](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/characters/fleurette) _romantic_ Amédé is a young suitor deeply in love with Fleurette, though his feelings are not fully reciprocated. ## In the story ### [IV](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/iv) Brings flowers to Fleurette; announces he must join the army; shares a tender moment with Fleurette. ### [Parting is not such sweet sorrow](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/v) Amédé leaves to join the army and fight the English; Fleurette grieves over his departure and worries he may never return. ### [IX](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/ix) Amédé is mentioned as the intended recipient of Fleurette's secret message, delivered via Adèle. ### [The Secret Trust](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/x) Responds to Fleurette's summons, agrees to hide the treasures, and shares a romantic moment with her. ### [XI](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xi) Walks with Fleurette, carrying Madame's valuables; pledges on his soul not to part with them; shares a farewell kiss. ### [XII](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xii) Accused of theft and treason for hiding Madame de Frontenac's valuables; remains silent and sullen under questioning. ### [XIII](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xiii) Arrested and taken to Sisteron along with M'sieu' de Frontenac. ### [XIV](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xiv) Arrested; valuables found in his family's cart-shed; Fleurette is deeply concerned. ### [XV](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xv) Referenced as the accused; Fleurette plans to clear his name. ### [XVI](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xvi) The thought of him drives Fleurette's courage; his arrest is unknown to the commissary. ### [Chapter XVII](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xvii) The young man who was arrested and then rescued by the English spies; his escape is the subject of the interrogation. ### [XIX](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xix) Mentioned as the falsely accused young man whom Fleurette seeks to exonerate. ### [Chapter XXIV](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xxiv) Left alone in the cottage after the Englishmen depart; writes a love letter to Fleurette and trusts Sir Percy implicitly. ### [XXXI](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xxxi) Previously sent a letter to Fleurette, which she associates with the warder's aide. ### [XXXIII](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xxxiii) Fleurette thinks of him and hopes for a reunion after the trial. ### [Chapter XXXVIII](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/sir_percy_hits_back_se/chapters/xxxviii) Rescued by the Scarlet Pimpernel's league, waits at Ste.
