You know, given the way that Hornblower is, if Archie doesn't tell Bush about Simpson/Spanish prison/Muzillac, Bush'll never know about them. Which is O.O.
And. You know. I wonder whether Bush's OMFG MUST PROTECT CAPTAIN urges in Loyalty have anything to do with the conversation that he had with Archie. I mean, I'm sure he would've been protective of a captain as good as Hornblower depsite the instructions, and he's certainly good enough friends with Hornblower at that point to be protective of him over friendship alone, but man oh man.
When Bush basically turns a blind eye to Pellew's command so that he can ride in and save Hornblower's bacon? It really makes me wonder what Archie told him about how much Hornblower hated being a prisoner.
I wonder, too, what Archie thought about how clearly Bush sees that Hornblower is the dominant one in that relationship.
