Hello once again, Mr. Cornwell. Like many of your other readers, I am intrigued by the origins of Hakeswill’s enmity against Sharpe. Granted, he hates everybody, but even as early as Ch. 1 of Sharpe’s Tiger, it is clear that he has it in for RS in particular. Something must have happened between them in the past to turn Sharpe into Hakeswill’s number one target. Do we ever get to find out how it all began? Sincerely, Alan Kempner
