Hello Bernard, your book on Agincourt is a MUST by the way you speak of it. Hope your memory can stretch to this obscure question. ‘In Sharpe’s Battle (TV version) last scene, I can’t understand why Wellington said to Sharpe “I made you, I can break you”. As I am in love with Wellington now, after only just discovering Sharpe, it is painful to see Wellington being (it appears) unkind to Sharpe, especially as Sharpe had won a great victory. Was this one of their coded conversations for the benefit of Monro (I am not so keen on him!) or was my love Wellington truly being unnecessarily sharp because this does not comply with the ideal man Wellington is. I HAVE TO KNOW or I can’t go on watching the rest of the series, as you can tell I am a bit of a novice! Thank you for being so utterly amenable to your followers, this is the mark not only of a top creative artist but a man of kindness. With kind wishes for all success with your future works. You really have changed lives with your heart and mind, plus pen! kiss Paula
