Example text

The thought made him laugh. It was not, Sharpe sus­pect­ed, the an­tic­ipa­tion of ex­cite­ment that had brought Sergeant Oba­di­ah Hakeswill to this state of near jovi­al­ity, but rather the thought that a bat­tle would cause ca­su­al­ties and mis­ery, and mis­ery was the Sergeant's de­light. He liked to see men cowed and fright­ened, for that made them bid­dable, and Sergeant Hakeswill was al­ways at his hap­pi­est when he was in con­trol of un­hap­py men. The three of­fi­cers had stopped their hors­es at the head of the col­umn and now used tele­scopes to in­spect the dis­tant ridge which was cloud­ed by a ragged fringe of smoke left from the last dis­charge of the en­emy can­non.

See it? ' His face twitched again as he re­leased the stock. ' 'Mad as a hare, ' Tom Gar­rard mut­tered. ' Hakeswill whipped around to stare at Sharpe, but Sharpe was so pal­pa­bly still and star­ing mute­ly ahead that his in­no­cence was in­dis­putable. Hakeswill paced back down the Light Com­pa­ny. 'I have watched men die, bet­ter men than any of you pieces of scum, prop­er men, but God has spared me! So you do what I says, boys, or else you'll be car­rion. ' He abrupt­ly thrust the mus­ket back in­to Sharpe's hands.

In­stead he leaned for­ward in his sad­dle with one hand clasped over the tiger hilt of his curved sabre as he watched his in­fantry march on the in­fi­del British. The sword was slung on a silken sash that crossed the pale yel­low silk jack­et that the Tip­poo wore above chintz trousers. His tur­ban was of red silk and pinned with a gold badge show­ing a tiger's mask. ' Above it, pinned to the tur­ban's brief white plume and bril­liant in the day's sun­light, there glit­tered a ru­by the size of a pi­geon's egg.
