Hornblower: Duty Page #2

Mr. Orrock, send

the quarter boat

For the captain.

Aye-Aye, sir.

The wind is freshening

from the west.

You're dressed already.

I should have been up

to make your breakfast

And pack your clothes.

Now, my dear.

Your gloves, horrie.

Haven't packed

your gloves.

I know that

you have to go.

Say that you love me.

Say that you'll

always love me.

I do... and i will.

Good-Bye, my love.

Man:
starboard ends

to the far sail!

Prowse:
sir.

We'll weigh anchor,

mr. Prowse.

Aye-Aye, sir.

Hands to stations

for weigh anchor!

So, mr. Bush,

i trust you weren't up

All night getting

the ship ready.

Not all night,

sir, no.

Anything to report?

No, sir. Nothing.

I trust you weren't up

all night either, sir.

No, mr. Bush.

I slept exceptionally

well, thank you.

You'll take her out,

if you please.

Plot a course

for brest.

Aye-Aye, sir.

My glass, sir?

No, mr. Prowse.

I'll wait until

we're looking for

The "grasshopper. "

Good morning, sir.

Matthews.

I hope the men enjoyed

themselves yesterday.

I'm sure they did, sir.

Thank you.

Although most of them

ended the day

As you began it, sir:

a might ill.

Morning, sir.

Styles.

I'd like some

coffee, please,

If you're up to it.

Matthews:

you may want to wait

Until you see what's

in your cabin, sir.

Only we had the delivery

this morning.

We didn't know

what to do with it,

So we put it in there.

It's a wedding

present, sir,

From admiral pellew.

It came with

this note, sir.

"Thy need is greater

than mine. "

And it makes coffee?

James doughty, sir,

admiral's steward-

Until now that is-

At your service.

Styles, belay that order.

Doughty, i'd like

some coffee.

With pleasure, sir.

I know how to cook

a bit myself.

I was the captain's

last steward.

We're giving him

the beef in crust

With french beans

and spanish fritters.

French and spanish.

Mr. Hornblower

won't like that.

They're vegetable

styles, not navies.

You might want to

put a little bit

Of extra pepper

in that.

Is the beef not

to your liking, sir?

Yes, thank you.

Sir edward always

enjoyed my royal

Beef casserole

in dainty crust.

I have simple tastes.

There's not too much

pepper, is there?

I thought the wedding

most pleasant, sir.

I never thanked you

properly, william,

For the carriage

and the hands.

Mrs. Hornblower said

you made her very happy.

I believe it is you that

made her happy, sir.

No doubt

she considers herself

A very lucky woman.

[Clearing throat]

that may be, mr. Bush, but...

We now have more important

things concerning us,

Like finding out what happened

to the "grasshopper. "

Captain bracegirdle...

What manner

of man is he?

He's wise, amusing...
