I'm having trouble understanding this comment, but -- making my best stab at answering anyeways, before he was king, he was a little prat of a Prince running around on a ship and knocking his head into beams, right? XD
Plus I'm allowed to talk smack about him anyways since I'm American.
If HH's father had his way, Hornblower might have wormed his way into toff-dom. Hornblower's father was only a village doctor, but he got his son French lessons and dancing lessons and music and deportment lessons from a French noble in exile. He also kept his boy in school with at least some intent of teaching him the classics. XD
