    I like how Camoynes has to politely push Sharpe into asking for what he wants. Dude has no problem fighting a hopeless battle against french hordes. But maneuvering through the treacherous waters of court politics? Hopeless.

      Should have asked for a promotion to Lt Colonel, as he is still just brevet Major and in theory could be reduced in rank to Lieutenant, as a promotion to and above Lt Colonel can't be take away, at least under the regs of the period.

    It is perhaps testament to Michael Cochrane's acting that I find Simmerson an utterly detestable fool of a man. Simmerson has pride where his honour should be, self preservation where his bravery should be, and for all the value he places upon being a gentleman, he is perhaps the most unworthy of the title that I can think of.
