Hi Mr. Conrwell, Just out of curiosity I have a question which I think you may know the answer to. In your Grail Quest novels the English and Scottish are not on the best of terms (to put it lightly) but in the Sharpe series they are fighting on the same side. I know there are a great many years in between the two series but was there one single event that forced England and Scotland to become grudging allies or was it a slow process that took many years? Thank you for your time. David Heaton
