21 - Chapter One - Jack and Stephen
a well-liked, deeply-respected fighting captain who, moreover, was soon to hoist his flag. There was no secret about this: Jack Aubrey's first unrestrained cries of delight on receipt of the blessed order had not escaped his steward nor anyone else within a range of twenty yards
If memory serves, Jack did not shout out his delight when he received news of the flag. Indeed Jack sat down, bowing his face in his hands: he was almost unmanned, but after a moment he did say, 'Read that again, will you, Stephen?'. His PF did that and said May I too congratulate you, Admiral dear?'He embraced Jack, who took it quite naturally, in something of a daze
:DDDDDDDDDD
This way for good-natured general bickering, Stephen’s age or Jack’s reaction to a Legate.
