Sharpe Quote
Wellesley: This is a report from Major Hogan which differs somewhat from your account, Sir Henry.
Simmerson: Major Hogan is merely an engineer, sir.
Wellesley: Major Hogan's coat buttons up tight over a number of other duties, Sir Henry. Major Hogan reports a number of losses, Sir Henry. He says you first lost your head, and, instead of destroying the bridge, you marched over it. He says you next lost your nerve, and ran from a small French patrol. He says you lost ten men, a major, and two sergeants. Major Hogan says you then lost your sense of honour, and destroyed the bridge, cutting off a rescue party led by Lieutenant Sharpe. Major Hogan leaves the worst to the last, Sir Henry... he says you lost the King's Colours.
Simmerson: The fault was not mine, Sir. Major Lennox must answer.
Wellesley: [shouting] Major Lennox answered with his LIFE! As you should have done if you had any sense of honour!
