[Sharpe has challenged Berry to a duel after he and Gibbons have raped and flogged Josefina]
Wellesley:
My orders are perfectly clear, Lawford. Dueling is strictly forbidden. I shall make no exception in respect of Captain Sharpe. If he fights Berry at dawn, he will be back among the ranks before the sun is up!
[Lawford opens his mouth]
Wellesley:
There is no more to say, sir!
Colonel Lawford:
Yes, sir.
[Wellesley walks over to Hogan]
Wellesley:
French hopping about a bit, Hogan.
Maj. Hogan:
Yes, sir.
Wellesley:
Send out a patrol to take a look. Not too big. Eight men, two officers.
Maj. Hogan:
I have done so, sir. About an hour ago. Captain Sharpe and Lieutenant Berry.
Wellesley:
That should do the trick, Hogan.
[Lawford grins]
