Hi Mr. Cornwell, As you can tell from my name, I’m a French speaking person. However, I must be redeemed somehow since I married a lassie from Edinburgh :). I must say I really love your books which I discovered a few years ago when I bought Sharpe’s Tiger. Since then, I have read all of the Sharpe’s book and enjoyed them tremendously. I must say, I have a good laugh at your description of the French characters. I wonder if you spent too much time in Paris at one point? At the moment, I’m reading “A Crowning Mercy” and a couple of questions I would like to ask you: first, is Faithful Unto Death Hervey a pun intended at Allan Malinson’s Hervey? Secondly, Do you plan to write more novels about the Lazender family? Thank you very much. Denis
