Sir William Ponsonby : Before we go, Uxbridge...
[proffering snuff powder]
Lord Uxbridge : [snorts] Ah...
[sneezes]
Lord Uxbridge : Savage stuff, Ponsonby!
Sir William Ponsonby : You don't see its like any more. My father left us a hundredweight, down to the last ounce. An old Jew in Alexandria had the blend.
Lord Uxbridge : Blend?
[Ponsonby laughs]

Sir William Ponsonby : My Father poor fellow, was killed by the French. Never should have happened
Lord Uxbridge : Really?
Sir William Ponsonby : Yes, his horse got caught in a bog and the brute just gave up. Seven damn lancers had him like a tiger in a pit. Bad luck, eh, Uxbridge?
Lord Uxbridge : Damn bad luck!

Sarah : Mama, Iggy has promised to bring me a cuirassier's helmet to use as a work basket - without blood in it, Mama.
Duchess of Richmond : And one for me, young man - *with* the blood.
Sir William Ponsonby : And where do you plan to stick your Frenchman, Hay?
Lord Richard Hay : I thought under the right arm, sir.
Sarah : See? He has it all planned.
General Sir Thomas Picton : When you meet a cuirassier beam-to-beam, you'll be lucky if you bring away your life with you, never mind his helmet. Boy, you'll learn the art of fighting from the French.
