Sins so blacker



Why? Because we were Christian, and supposed to know better? – and becaue England contains this great crowd of noisy know-alls that are forever defending our enemies’ behaviour and crying out in pious horror against our own. Why our sins are always so much blacker, I can’t fathom.



Flashman in the Great Game, p.253, Pan edition, 4th printing, 1979.
