Truly be called

I?ve sometimes wondered what the result of that encounter was, and if there is some sturdy peasant somewhere in Holstein called Carl who puts on airs in the belief that he can claim royal descent, If there is, he can truly be called an ignorant bastard.

The burdens of monarchy

Well, thinks I, they may talk about cares of State, and uneasy lies the head and all that tommy-rot, but this is the life for old Flashy. You may take my word for it, next time you hear about the burdens of monarchy, that royalty do themselves damned proud.

Light fingers

I resisted a temptation to slip the plate into a pocket ? plenty of time for lifting the lumber later.

We will have lived

?How will we look back on this?? he mused. ?When we are old, and in our country palaces, and the bold lads of a new day are elbowing for power in the chancelleries? I wonder.? He shook his head. ?I think I will wear leather breeches and allow myself to be laughed at in Stettin wool market, and sell two thalers cheaper to anyone who calls me ?baron?. And you, Flashman ? you will sit in your club in St James and grow fat on port and your memories. But we will have lived, by God! We will have fought! We will have won! Is it not something to have moved great affairs, and shaped the course of time??
