Quotes 

• [Brand is found guilty of six murders. After being goaded by Brand, Sharpe hits him in the chest and he falls back into a deep well to his death] 

  Ross : Did you see that, Harper?

  Harper : Who me, sir? No, I saw nothing, sir.

  Ross : Did you see what happened to Col. Brand?

  Harper : Oh, he's a funny fish, sir. I just saw him jump head-long into the wishing well. Why do you think he'd want to do something like that, sir?

  Ross : Thank you, Harper.

• Harper : Chosen Men are men of honour! Men who fight any enemy to the death, but still bury them!

• Sharpe : [he sees from his window that Pat is flirting with a young lady]  Pat! What are you doing?

  Harper : Just carrying out orders, sir. Nosey told us to fraternize with the local population.

  Sharpe : Well in the future, when you fraternize with the local women, make sure they're women over forty!

• Harper : They'll be back.

  Daniel Hagman : I'm getting too old for this!

• Harper : I wouldn't want to be caught dead in the same grave as you.
