Question

Why does Bibot say "Grospierre
thought he was very clever?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A member of the French guard. Grospierre is described as “clever” but is easily tricked by the Scarlet Pimpernel, who manages to sneak by Grospierre with several condemned aristocrats dressed as a captain of the French guard. The Scarlet Pimpernel and the condemned aristocrats escape France, and Grospierre is executed at the guillotine for his incompetence. Grospierre serves as a lesson in humility—he displays excessive pride and pays with his life.
