Sharpe's Challenge2006

Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff:
Easy to be brave, with rank and new sunlight behind ye. I hope you sleep light Colonel, lest you find some morning you wake up to find your throat slit!

Richard Sharpe:
Is that a threat Sergeant?

Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff:
Take it as ye please.

Richard Sharpe:
Oh I do. So come on, let's sort it out now, just you and me.

Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff:
[laughs] I weren't born yesterday neither, Colonel. 'Tis a hanging offense to strike an officer!

Richard Sharpe:
But like you said, I'm not a company officer.

Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff:
All the same, I will not hit a man wearing the King's Uniform.

Richard Sharpe:
No? Well that's easily remedied. [starts unbuttoning his uniform]
