The World according to Sharpe #5

[srgmatt]

My existence would be so much simpler would a Howard son marry a Brandon daughter. Or vice versa.
May God preserve England from the ambitions of these two feuding Dukes.

Remeber, Sharpe, I am always just around the next corner you will turn, I am just out of your line of sight, and I will send all my children to court with special instructions about you should you ever say such a thing again.

The sons of Norfolk need no assistance in finding brides worthy of their lineage, Commander...and the Brandon daughters, the unfortunate Lady Mary aside, are well matched already - or at least as well as their father can purchase. As for the reverse - it takes a strong man to be worthy of a Howard bride, and young Lincoln hath his hands already full with his convent-bred Kate.

I suggest you resign yourself to the difficulties of your situation, Sharpe, as they do not look to be resolved anytime soon. Alternately, I hear that Swansea is lovely this time of year.

Well spoken indeed! I will add that old money mixed with new simply creates more problems than even the heartiest Brandon can handle.

as for you Sharpe...

I too will be just around the corner think of truly V.I.L.E. things that can be incorporated into your very day to make you feel...

... "special"

Hehehe

Were I to become betrothed to a Howard, the feud would only become more bitter when he died shortly after the betrothal. After all, it is not as I if I have a very good track record on actually making it to the altar with my prospective grooms.

Your just speaking in to the spray there sir, perhaps you should get back out of the sun it seems to have gone to your head.

Howard marry a Brandon...ya and cats and dogs will live together as husband and wife next.
