Sharpe

Sharpe:
Tell General Chaumier I have horse, foot, and artillery. Tell him what Voltaire said: Dieu ne pas pour les grand battalions, mais pour sequi teront le meillur.

("God is not on the side of the big battalions, but of the best shots.")

Col. Michel Dubreton:
You told me you didn't speak French.

Sharpe:
I lied. My wife taught me. She taught me many things. Above all, how to say goodbye.

[Dubreton salutes Sharpe smartly and rides out of Adrados, carrying Sarah on his horse. Sharpe returns to Ducos and seizes the front of his coat.]

Sharpe:
Someday... I'll say goodbye to you.

Ducos:
[sneers] Certainly.
