Man, I squealled like a hysterical creature when he asked that. "NO BUT HE HAS ONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And you're dead on about the how of Horatio saving Archie being the telling thing. That scene of Horatio with Archie in his arms, right? Anybody else, he would have done the sensible thing and sent somebody out to get a guard or run out there to tell them, but no, instead, in he carries Archie into the cold rain in his arms when Archie is obviously (*@#)@(#*( heavy despite the starvation, and. Yeah.
The sight of Horatio Hornblower being irrational is *_*.
My sister and I were watchign Frogs & Lobsters last night and just HOWLING at Hornblower trying to get his mack on with the pretty French schoolteacher. Like, with that giant honker nose of his bumping into her cheek? Oh, Horatio, sweetheart.
*thinking* The goodness would make all the difference in the end. And man oh man. Yeah, since I was just watching Lobsters, the scene where Horatio calm Archie down? I mean, man oh man. There's the stuff where Archie goes FLYING ACROSS THE BRIDGE to save his captain, and then there's Edrington's classic line, but the part where Horatio talks Archie off the mental pier is just *____*
