[Action]

[ and as he worked, he sang:

and here's to good health to the 95th rifles
the first in the field and the last in the fray
when bonaparte's army is banished and beaten
they'll talk of the 95th winning the day.

hagman himself had come up with those fine words of praise. the song was wrapped around a bitter memory, hopelessly entangled with the memory of his own spanish lady. but it's a good steady song to keep him company as he works.

he brings the axe down hard on one of the last remaining tangles of felled branches, splitting it and cracking it apart as he steadied the mass of wood with his boot. but soon he feels the odd prickle of being watched; sharpe leaves the blade where it's stuck and turns to look at the surgeon. ]


Nearly done, miss.
