Somewhere there's a clip of Colonel Bampfylde challenging Sharpe to a duel and suddenly discovering humility when he finds out WHO he's trying to challenge. [after Sharpe has demanded that Colonel Bampfylde act civilly] Bampfylde: [to Jane] Evening, ma'am. I'm sorry to see you in such company. Sir, as I seem to have given you some offence, I shall be happy to give you satisfaction. Sharpe: Satisfaction? What does that mean? Bampfylde: It means I am calling you out, sir. A duel. Sharpe: Don't be a damn fool, sir. If Wellington catches you duelling, you'll be on the next ship back to England. Bampfylde: Wellington has his code, I have mine. [Sharpe chuckles] What does it take to make you fight me? Perhaps a glass of wine in the face? Harmer, will you act as my second? [Harmer and Captain Frederickson join them] Harmer: Sir. What is your opponent's name? Frederickson: Sharpe. Of the 95th Rifles. Favoured of the Prince of Wales. Harmer: Is that the same Sharpe who shot three Dragoons while saving Wellington's life? The same Sharpe who took the Eagle at Talavera? [Frederickson nods. Bampfylde is nervous. There is a long silence.] de Maquerre: May I intercede? Colonel Bampfylde is new in Spain. Field Marshall Wellington's views on duelling are very strict. Bampfylde: Absolutely. Major Sharpe, may I apologise for any offence I have caused you and the Lady? [Sharpe doesn't answer] de Maquerre: Doesn't do to duel with your new commanding officer. Sharpe: Apology accepted. Sir.
There's another good one in Sharpe's Eagle where Hogan tells one of the Simersons that "Death is the penalty for striking that Officer. That's Sharpe of the 95th, killed three dragons and saved Wellington's life while still a Sergeant."
i mean to bw fear mouth/tooth infections are very dangerous you best take a rotten tooth out less the infection progress to the brain is although im not sure about the specifics of of pre antibiotic medicine
Cannot think of a member of the 95th that I do not like, they all have distinct personalities, and all are good, decent (relatively) souls, despite their backgrounds. But Cpt. Fredrickson is only behind Sharpe as my absolute favorite. After that, definitely RSM Harper, then Harris.
@@tiberius5245 It was a shame how it fell out between Sharpe and Williamson, the writers could have given Sweet William his bride and maintained the tension between he and Sharpe over say, Williamson's leaving the unit for his marriage, but they didn't.
@@frobbit30 I agree 100%. I thought that was a real dick move of Sharpe, especially after he saved Sharpe at the Tribunal. It really felt a bit out of character for Sharpe.
I bet Captain Frederickson would've had that tooth out in no time with all of the practice he's had. I'm thankful a Baltimore dentist hated the pain he caused his patients and decided to try ether. Seeing a sawbones before anesthesia had to be a terrifying ordeal, even for a tooth.
They way they all look at him after Sharpe says 'We need blood" is too funny. It's not as funny as Harper realizing WHY they're looking at him, though...
Even though I think this is funny, I'm not keen on Harper undermining Sharpe like this, especially to Bumfield who already doesn't like Sharpe. It was out of character for Harper - and over something like a diseased tooth?
@@shadowcat0201 still, I can see him feeling betrayed but I wouldn't care too much if my friend "repurposed" some alcohol from an officer I don't think much of
@@ethnicsovereignty2369 well he wasnt going to rat him out when he managed the trick an officer out of some brandy he is an alcholic and his tooth is farther gone than he lets on so sharpe is just looking out for his own good a tooth infection can spread to the brain and kill a man faster than most parts of the body
