to the task before us.
Colonel, Marquis de Moncoutant.
I have been charged with conducting
your troops aboard, sir.
Very good. My men are prepared.
I'm looking forward to our trip,
monsieur.
I have always enjoyed the sea air.
Be careful, that is my personal
baggage.
Don't drop it! Idiots!
It is yours, sir?
Indeed, Mr. Hornblower. It is mine.
Shoulder arms!
All men and supplies secured, sir.
Very good, Mr. Hornblower.
Signal the convoy.
-Mr. Bowles, prepare to weigh anchor.
-Aye, aye, sir.
Prepare to weigh anchor!
Man the capstan!
Quiberon...
-See this? Not yours!
-Not yours!
No steal-ee. Savvy? You steal-ee,
get chop plenty darn vite.
-Understand?
-Oldroyd! What's going on here?
Ah, this jerk was after pinching
this chicken, sir.
They're the officers' chickens and
we caught him red-handed.
-Stealing's a hanging offense.
-Yes, Matthews,-
I'm aware of the articles of war on
the subject. Thank-you.
Well, it's the rope for you,
then, Frog.
However, this man may not be.
Has anyone taken the trouble of
explaining messing arrangements
-to these men?
-Not as such, sir.
Let him go.
You're letting him go, sir?
Styles, these people are our guests,
and as such,
you will extend to them every
courtesy and kindness while-
they're aboard.
I mean, playing piggyback with
the Frogs sir.
The Frog is the enemy, sir.
These Frogs, Styles,
these are the good Frogs.
A Frog is a Frog,sir;and the only
good Frog is a dead Frog,sir.
This'll end badly, Mr. Hornblower,
sir. You mark my words.
All right, that's enough!
-Now back to your work.
-Aye, aye, sir.
Styles...
-Sir?
-Put the chicken back, Styles.
-But, sir!
-Styles!
Yes, sir.
Come.
Report from the quarter deck, sir.
Wind's still from the north.
-Course steady.
-Thank-you, Mr. Hornblower.
-Mr. Hornblower
-Sir.
A word, if you please.
How are the men taking to their
new travelling companions?
As one might expect, sir.
They have a few misgivings
about their presence,
- but nothing untoward.
-Misgivings? What kind of misgivings?
I think they have a little difficulty
in seeing-
the general's troops as allies;
when only yesterday,
any Frenchman was the enemy.
But, you have made it clear to them
that they are to give-
-the general their full support?
-Yes, sir, very clear.
Good, good.
And yourself,
what do you, um..., think of
the general and his plan?
I think he is bold, sir.
Bold? Is that all?
Without knowing either the general
or his plan in detail,
I wouldn't presume to judge, sir.
Ahhh, a prudent enough answer.
There is also some speculation
about our destination, sir.
What would you say if I were to tell
you we were heading for-
