Mr Cornwell, always enjoyed your work, my favourite being Sealord and as regular visitor to your site, my question is how do you know so much about the dialogue of the eras you set your stories. I love Sir John Cornwaile (perhaps the wrong spelling) and his opinions of the French and wondered whether you had researched those sort of insults, and if so where did you find them as I’d dearly love to find out more, or whether there was a bit of artistic licence involved? Either way, He’s a brilliant character who kept me very entertained. Thanks for your time, Katie
