4) Five things Bush didn't know about Hornblower.

1. Almost everything about Hornblower's childhood.
2. Almost everything about Hornblower as a young adult. He met Hornblower as a full-grown man at sea, after all, and Bush had a limitedability ot guess at things that had taken place on land.
3. That both the childhood and the years immeidately following it had been lonely ones. Bush was a convivial man, and he had grown up at sea, where there wasn't space or leisure for loneliness. Even when he was at Gracay, ignorant of French, he had a warm place at the kitchen fireplace if he wanted it and plenty of family
4. How much Hornblower valued him as a friend.
5. How much Hornblower regretted Caudebec.
