Sharpe Quote

[Sharpe walks over to Ellie Nugent and Lieutenant Ayres, standing by the French soldier she's killed.]
Sharpe: Are you alright? [sees the dead soldier, shot through the chest] My God, you did well.
Ayres: [woodenly] She saved me.
Sharpe: [pointedly ignoring Ayres] A clean shot.
Ellie Nugent: He's so young. He's just a boy.
Sharpe: They all are, fresh recruits.
Sharpe: Well, Mister Ayres, I shall report this. A skilled defense, and a valiant action.
Ayres: [aware that Sharpe is mocking him] I'm not very experienced.
Sharpe: First rule. Always get a girl between you and the enemy.
[Ayres stumbles off]
Ellie Nugent: [softly] I killed him. I never...I never did that. [Sharpe puts his hand on her shoulder]
