Sharpe's buckling his swash, as per...
No, Sharpe, no!
So, did Sharpe actually aim at Harper or not? 'Cause, dude, if I was Harper there'd be words I'd be having with Mr Sharpe, so there would.
Ohhhh, so he did know. Clever Sharpe.
There's always got to be one rotten sergeant, hasn't there? Not a patch on Obadiah though. Now he was an evil bastard.
Oh Toby, dammit, cut your hair! It's driving me potty now.
Oh Simmerson, they are so setting you up, you fool. How frickin' gullible are you? The whole army exactly where the bad guys want them, you dimwit? Oy...
Oooh, now that outfit suits Sharpe. I like the white shirt and the sash. And, you know, the bared chest helps. ;)
Gunpowder, huh? Simmerson is so going to get the whole army blown to smithereens.
Oooh, is Sharpe gonna swordfight? He's always damn sexy with a sword in his hand.
He's betraying his country because he didn't get a promotion? Dude. How petty.
Go, Sharpe! Kick his arse!
Hitting on Sharpe, eh? Can't say I blame her.
Oh, Harper, I do love you. And you love Sharpe. And I love Sharpe. So everybody's happy.
So is Harper going to rescue the girl now? And why isn't he doing anything? I mean, he's supposed to be a soldier in this army and he's just standing around. Wouldn't someone notice?
Simmerson is gossiping about the royals during the battle? He'll never change, will he? Tell me he dies before this is over. Please. I really can't stand the bastard. He's got to get his comeuppance one of these days.
Bwahahaha! Go General Burroughs! Just saying what everybody else is thinking.
Biggerstaff is so going to sell Sharpe out, isn't he?
Oh man, the nail again. Gross. And dude, that twisting of the head is even worse! Whatever happened to good old decapitation?
Oh Biggerstaff, you little toad. Like he'd spare you anyway!
Hey, the green jacket's back! Yum.
Oh shit, now what?
Oooh, shirtless Sharpe. That dirty smudge on his shoulder is so hiding the 'Blades Forever' tattoo, isn't it? *snickers*
Man, if these people's idea of fun is watching folk being tortured and executed they have got to get out more. Admittedly, that would sort of hard with a besieging army outside your door.
They spared Biggerstaff? You have got to be kidding me!
Oh, poor pretty princess. I like her. I hope nothing bad happens to her. Or anything worse than the flogging.
Is the French dude going to rescue them? Nice one! S'gotta be weird for Sharpe, being on the same side as a Frenchmen, after fighting them all these years. Having said that, he's been living in France all this time, so maybe not.
Oh, the poor little lad. They're never going to send him into battle, surely? They can't! He's just a wee bairn. Wait, he's commanding the Forlorn Hope? Whose idea was that?
Nail Harper? I think not!
Aww, Harper's gun! He wouldn't be Pat without that thing over his shoulder.
I was literally just about to type 'the nice French guy is going to die, isn't he?' and then he did. Biggerstaff totally has to die now. Maybe they'll nail him?
Oh, don't go in to check, Sharpe. Please don't go in to check. No, man, there's a fuse!
Okay, where's Sharpe? Come on, no messing about, where's Sharpe?
Oh, there he is!
Oh no, not Harper! Not Pat.
Phew. Was worried there for a moment.
Oh no! Nice captain guy! Oh, I liked him
Hey-hey, attaboy, Pat! You get Biggerstaff and Sharpe'll go get Toby.
Damn, he looks sexy when he's all mucky and sweaty and bloody. Takes years off him. Yum.
Oh, nice captain guy...*is sad*
So where are Pat and Sharpe off to now then? More adventures? Come on, they have to make more Sharpe! I'll pout if they don't.
Okay, wait for the patented Sharpe 'walk/ride away, stop look back and then walk/ride away'...wait for it, wait for it...and there it is! I knew they wouldn't let me down!
Conclusion? Love. Love love love. Lots of all-round, all-consuming, all-encompassing love. Love for Harper. Love for Sharpe. Just love. I do miss the Chosen Men though. It's just not quite the same without Harris and Hagman and the rest.
