Dear Sir. I’m reading the Sharpe novels in chronological order & I’m up to Sharpe’s Company & I was so happy when I discovered my favorite side character, Hakeswill had made a return. One thing is that he seems to have grown over the years as now you describe him as being the same height as Sharpe, but as in Sharpe’s Tiger, he was smaller, also he does not seem to banter about the scripturs as much as he used to. My question is when you went back & wrote Tiger, Triumph & Fortress, did you alter his character at all? Even though he is still the same old twitching Hakeswill, he seems a bit different, almost more evil. Thank you for taking the time to read my email. Regards Michael
