Transcript
And speak to quarters, one broad side into it, please Captain Bush, Point of the target, please stop, really. I'm Michael Redgrave, I see as far as to his indominal man of the sea, Horatio Horonblower.
Everything back after all these years, to see that the risk of showing ourselves, hunted, few to kids in a hostile country, was prodigious.
But another night of exposure in the snow and freezing wind would certainly have killed Bush. I too was frozen and half dead with the tea. Even at the cost of being apprehended and sent on to Paris and death, warmth and rest were imperative.
As the door of the house opened, I shaded my eyes against the light and blinked at a tall, thin man in a blue coat. And the young woman beside him. Who are you? There's no war. One of us is wounded.
Ah, come in, gentlemen. Thanks for coming through the hall, and let me shut out these dreadful weather. While we dried and bandaged bush and carried him to the bed, which was shown as in a ground floor room, I struggled with the astonishment I felt with our kind and courteous reception.
I'd expected hostile words and grim treatment, but had we been old friends, we could not have been more cordially received or attended. Guy clothes were brought from me and Felix the butler helped me to dress.
His master, he informed me, awaited me in the drawing room. As I entered the room, that old man rose, and the lady with the urban hair whom we met in the hall rose within. Ah, I regret, sir.
There did not quite hear the name which my major do more announced. Captain Horatio von Beuer of his pathetic metries, his ship Sutherland. It is a great pleasure to meet you, sir. I am Louis-Euendre-Lauden, Conde-Gase, and may I present to you my daughter-in-law.
