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.

• Richard Sharpe : [intercepts an apple that Harris was about to share with Conchita]  How would you like to be chef? Serve the table, talk Frog, a little la-dee-da...?

  Harris : Not very much, sir. But if you give me back Conchita's apple...

  [I'll do it] 

  Richard Sharpe : [Handing him back the apple]  That's how it started in the Garden of Eden, Harris!

• [Harris is confined to camp pending a murder inquiry] 

  Sharpe : Harris, until this matter is resolved, you're my responsibility. Now while I'm on this mission, you will act as manservant to my wife.

  Harris : You're letting a suspected murderer look after your wife, sir?

  Sharpe : Harris, I am posting you to my household as I would post you to a position on a battlefield.

  Harris : [saluting and smiling]  Yes, sir!
