You study
the naval gazette.
Well, there is
one man, sir,
But he's not a captain.
I've read much
of your exploits, sir.
What? Horn-
Well, i'm sorry.
I'm in no position
to offer you anything.
Indeed. You should think
more carefully, sir,
Before you nail
your colors to the mast.
Well, if he wishes to go into
battle with mr. Hornblower,
There's always
the card table,
But i warn you,
mr. Hammond.
The lieutenant is an
exceptionally gifted player.
My trick again,
by god.
One more trick,
and the game is ours.
Well, you and your nephew
Have all the luck of the
devil, captain hammond.
Mr. Hornblower, why are
you a lieutenant again
And no longer
a commander?
Because my promotion
was disallowed
When the retribution
was laid up.
The country can't afford
to keep a wartime navy.
Otherwise, we'd be paying this
Let's hope england's
haste to decommission
Does not prove
to be premature.
What do you think,
mr. Bush,
Or do you decline
from speculating
As well as gambling?
I'm equally poor
at both, sir,
But if i were
a gambling man,
I'd wager that this
peace won't last long.
Whatever bony's planning,
We'll be ready for him,
won't we, uncle?
This is hardly
the place to gossip
About military
matters, boy.
It's an officers club.
Even in such illustrious company, sir,
The best part of valor
is discretion.
And for all we know,
mr. Hornblower here
Might be sharing
his berth
With some republican
strumpet.
Oh.
Indeed,
i'm not, sir.
Oh, no,
not mr. Hornblower.
Unlucky with women.
Unlucky at cards.
Trick and rubber,
i think.
I think not, sir.
So. So we're down
to the last trick, then.
Which, i believe,
is mine, also.
You hold but a 7,
do you not?
I did warn you.
His talent
is quite formidable.
Well, gentlemen,
this evening
Has been quite
an education.
Hmm. A damned expensive
education at that.
Thank you, lieutenant.
I hope you and i-
Hammond:
come, jack.Sir edward.
Mm-Hmm.
Gentlemen.
Here's your winnings.
Use them wisely.
I'll see you
aboard the flagship
Two bells tomorrow
forenoon. Mr. Bush.
What do you think
he wants?
Well, i doubt he wants
to play whist.
No, but you-
You risked everything
on one hand.
My chances had to right
themselves mathematically.
Don't you see?
Of course.
No. No, i don't.
Ha ha!
Aha.
Good evening,
mrs. Mason.
Oh, it might be
for young rakes
Squandering
their rent money
On dissipation
and drink.
By the scent
of gin, madam,
It's plain you've had
a head start.
Such insolence...
And those that can't
even pay their reckoning.
If mr. Mason were here,
he'd throw you out!
Please, mother.
Don't.
