Sharpe Quote
Major Lennox: Sir Henry says it keeps their chin up.
Sharpe: [disgustedly] There's better ways to keep a chin up.
Major Lennox: Sharpe isn't it? Made a name for yourself in India. Battle of Assaye, if I recall.
Sharpe: I saw the 78th advance at Assaye. Man who made a name for himself that day was a major of the 78th. Man by the name of Lennox.
Major Lennox: Ah, a long time ago. I had a life soldiering, then they retired me. My wife died. The South Essex was the best I could get. But thank you for reminding me I used to be a damn good soldier. Now wipe your boots and I'll take you to meet a damn bad one. [Meaning Simmerson]
