Dear Mr. Cornwell.(Best writer in the World)
With regards to Sharpe’s life after the wars how did his daughter come to meet, let alone marry an English Marquis if he became nothing more than a farmer living in rural France?  And given that Wellington always thought of him as a rogue would he ever have been invited to the Waterloo dinners that he hosted?  I can imagine Dubreton or Gudan finding him out when peace returned as some of his enemies owed more to him than his English rivals. In this concept, is it ever likely that there would be a sort of “Sharpe’s reunion” which I suspect would be more French than English. Given that Wellington was made ambassador to France would it not have been like that he would have met some of these offices (if they survived that is) and Sharpe’s name brought up. Like many of your fans I would dearly like to know what happened in his later life. You created the interest with Col. Lassan in the Starbuck chronicles and then left us in the dark. Please, Please write some more Starbuck as apart from being
brilliant it lets us in on this bit of Sharpe in a subtly anticipated way.

 
Finally. I read your “Questions Column” quite often but not weekly. Has anyone found out who Sharpe’s father is yet and if they have (or do) would you display it prominently  to put us out of our misery.
Definitely, finally. How about an easier clue?
