Mr. Cornwell: Thanks for writing such marvelous books! My question. In “Sharpe’s Escape” why has LTC Lawford’s personality changed? He treats Sharpe almost as an inferior and is very rude at times. In the other books he treats Sharpe almost like an equal; calls him by his Christian name and appreciates Sharpe’s ability as a soldier and officer. Keep up the good work. George M. Carney
