Two quick questions, please: (1.) having written the later Sharpe books before the earlier, if you were, in fact, writing the later books now, are there things in those books that you would change?; and (2.) why does Sharpe hate lawyers so much? I’m a lawyer myself, and many, many lawyers shame the profession, but the scoundrels, really, are regular people. To borrow a phrase, “lawyers don’t sue people; people sue people.” Even in Lady Grace’s estate, Sharpe should hate her family, not lawyers. Sometimes, in one’s profession, it’s necessary to do some things of which you may not end up particularly proud in order to best advance your client’s (or King’s) interests. Sharpe, of all people, should know that. Thanks for your time, response, and talents. Best wishes.
