quigonejinn: (hornblower - hmmmm horatio?)
Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] despatches, hilarity from the Gutenberg e-text of a period biog of Eddie Pellew overseen by his younger brother Israel. )

DEAD, my friends. DEAD WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER.

It's such a fucking delightful read -- little midshipmen love! (hint hint, [livejournal.com profile] karabou) Colorful Pellews who had scandalous songs made of them!

Sure, it might all be propaganda, but I love Robert Lindsay, and I love pink nightcaps, and I'd love it even without pink nightcap and Robert LIndsay because it is bravery and adventure and saucy and scandal and <3333333333333333333333333 I don't even care that, as far as I can tell, there's no reference to Pellew's bastard son who became the second Exmouth. Issue resolved. No bastard son, alas, just shitty Wiki.
