If only we had the same grace today as they did then, honour, decency and duty.

@50TNCSA It is meant too be loud.

It is odd for midshipmen and leuitenents to dine with the captain. most officers would eat in their respective wardrooms of which a captain could only enter if invited,

The series has a lot of faults, but Lindsay (musicals, shakespeare, TV comedy, what can't this man do?!) is wonderful and gives real authority to Pellew, and Gruffudd is ridiculously handsome and youthful as young Hornblower. Plus, as a sailor, I give bonus points to any episode where they have some footage of a real ship at sea.

CURSE THAT BOSUN WHISTEL TOO LOUD IT BE

I read a comment recently read a comment. The person said, "I don't think we should ever meet our heros." Something like that and it's a profound and true thought. / Notice the older officers have trouble eating? Foster's admirers are only the young officers.The older ones know how Foster has gained his fame at the cost of men's lives. Pellew hates that Hornblower is taken in by this man and is a little jealous. He's used to being H's father image. H will have to see it for himself.

@Shangas A Boatswain's (pronounced Bo'sun) call. And yes very much still used in ceremonial duties for piping naval officials aboard, piping the still at colours and sunset and official functions.

"Such greatness always had its price" - That pretty deep for something so casual.
