I suspect he's waiting to charge the tab to Tony Barrett and myself. It'll be champagne all round then

I await with bated breath and dry throat the drinks promised me by the honourable Captain Hornsby. Surely a small price to pay for the safe return of the Little Corsican presently resting on a stout Prussian cot munching on Prussian snorkers. |

Ah gentlemen you jest. Seems that Champagne may not be far off Field Marshall Moss, but I would require a crate of it for myself and Marechal Bardon to enjoy. As for my honourable opponent Major-General Frampton what drink would Sir like as the next three rounds are on me and as a French Officer and a gentlemen I will honour my promise as you did when you returned that, that was priceless to me, our Emperor Napoleon who I thought had been killed on the field of battle, but who is now marching with what is left of the Guard to Paris where I am sure a new army will be raised and another battle fought over the fields of Europe. Oh and by the way Field Marshall, I do hope yourself and Lieutenant Barrett keep your swords in good condition as I'm in the market for a new sword as mine is now adorning the wall of Major-General Frampton's quarters. Why buy a new one when I can get one for free, and a Coalition officers as well to boot. Maybe Marechal Bardon may even let me keep your sword Field Marshall, as I doubt a mere Lieutenant in the KGL will have much of a sword with which a captain of the Imperial French Army could ever stoop to wear. Maybe you could both then visit Paris after your defeat and stop in a lovely hotel call the Bastille it's bed and breakfast only, all rooms have en-suite and breakfast is served daily in your room. I highly recommend it and as we Frenchmen believe in equality you may have to share with a number of lower ranks as well, but as it's free that won't matter. Maybe your fellow Coalition officers will do a whip round and raise the money in which to have you both returned to your regiments. |

Thank you Captain Hornsby....Helga...Hedonators all round and keep them coming, Captain Hornsby got his allowance from the Emperor himself and should not crawl back home with any of it left. |

Hedonator... That's something to drink!  Quote: Good soldier's Gin (1 mug) Fine Port (2 mugs) Strong English cider (2 very large mugs) Sprinkle of French red wine (1 jug) Spot of Old Jamaica Rum (1 bowl) Dash of fresh Russian Vodka (1-2 buckets) Add thick gunpowder topping (sprinkles, reg. trade mark, Gen. Henderson 1812) for taste. Serve cold (or hot, or lukewarm). http://home.planet.nl/~boe01171/hq/Smok ... m_Menu.htm And Capitaine Hornsby maybe you should try to drink some of that stuff and you'll even forget that you were fighting.
