Bernard Cornwell Quotes

Then, Just As D'Alembord Was About To Sell His Commission And Retire To One Of His Prospective Father-in-law's Farms, Napoleon Had Returned To France. Colonel Ford, Worried That He Was Losing His Veteran Captain Of Skirmishers, Had Begged D'Alembord To Stay For The Impending Campaign And Implicit In The Colonel's Plea Was A Promise That D'Alembord Would Receive The Next Vacant Majority In The Battalion. That Enticement Was Sufficient. The Captaincy Would Sell For Fifteen Hundred Pounds Which Was A Good Enough Fortune For Any Young Man Contemplating Marriage, But A Majority Would Fetch Two Thousand Six Hundred Pounds, And So D'Alembord, With Some Misgivings, But Reassured By The Prospects Of A Fine Marriage Portion, Had Agreed To Ford's Request.
