Abigail Cruttenden: Jane Gibbons

Quotes 

• Jane : Why would you follow him to the death?

  Harris : Loyalty! We're loyal to him and he's loyal to us. In life and in death. We trust him with our lives and he trusts us with his life.

  Jane : And with his wife. He trusts you with his wife.

• Jane : That's me. The silly fly drawn to the candle light. I nearly got my wings burned, didn't I Harris?

  Harris : I don't think so. He wasn't that hot.

• Jane : I hate the bugle because I hate the army. Because I hate the war.

  Sharpe : We all hate the war.

  Jane : No you don't you love it!

  Sharpe : I'm a soldier.

  Jane : What will you do when you get home, Richard? You'll still be a soldier, but there won't be a war. And if there's no war then you won't be happy. What will you do all day?

  Sharpe : Well, what every officer does. What every husband does. Whatever that is...

  Jane : I'll tell you what they do, Richard. They ride, they hunt, they gamble, they play cards, they look after their gardens, their dogs, their libraries. They wine and dine and make polite conversation. They cut a figure in society.
