Tow?
:41:08
The Bradys wouldn't let you kill
1,500 a year out of the family.

:41:14
The plan of the duel was arranged
in order to get you out of the way.

:41:19
The cowardly Quin couldn't
be brought to marry...

:41:22
...from fear of you.
:41:24
But hit him you certainly did, me lad.
:41:27
With a fine thick plugget of tow.
:41:31
He was so frightened,
it took him an hour to come to.

:41:38
Are you in want of cash?
:41:42
You may draw on me. For I got
a couple of hundred from your uncle.

:41:47
While that lasts, you shall never want.
:41:54
It would require a great historian
to explain the causes...

:41:58
...of the Seven Years' War in Europe...
:42:02
...to which Barry's regiment
was now on it's way.

:42:06
Let it suffice to say,
that England and Prussia were allies...

:42:10
...and at war against...
:42:12
...France, Sweden, Russia and Austria.
:42:29
Barry's first taste of battle...
:42:31
...was only a skirmish against
a rearguard of Frenchmen...

:42:35
...who occupied an orchard
beside a road...

:42:38
...down which the English main force
wished to pass.

:42:43
Though this encounter is not recorded
in any history book...

:42:46
...it was memorable enough
for those who took part.
