Something about slaves

“ . . . but I’ll tell you something about slaves: however devoted and loving and like bloody spaniels they seem, they never forgive their owners for owning ’em.”


Flashman on the March, pp.86-7, Harper Collins, paperback edition 2005.

Open with care

‘Flashman, you must see my agony of spirit … I’m trying to … make you understand. Please – tell me, even now, what I can do.’
      ‘Well,’ says I, thoughtfully, ‘you could go fart in a bottle and paint it.’

Flashman in the Great Game, pp.210-11, Pan edition, 4th printing, 1979.
