Hello Sir,

I’ve just been reading Azincourt (again) and have been flummoxed by a phrase from Sir John. Maybe this has been asked before?

I have always thought when hunting that you want to be downwind from your quarry so that your scent doesn’t carry on the wind to them. But Sir John says to Hook ” … can’t you do that (shit) upwind of me?”. Surely if Hook ‘shat’ upwind of Sir John, then that would be the smelliest for Sir John?

Have I got this right? Or am I all Arse about Face? (‘Scuse the pun).

Thanks – Regards

Mal
