You have a clever officer in Nolan,
Lord Cardigan.
:16:14
He has written a book, which is not a diary
but of a scientific nature.
:16:19
-To do with soldiering.
-What, some damn novelist?
:16:29
l do envy soldiers' way.
:16:31
What it must be to hunt one day
and fight the next. ls war terrible?
:16:35
lt is the stuff.
lt is the stuff we're all hoping for.
:16:38
Soldiers do, Fanny,
those that are waiting to use their talents.
:16:42
What is most a talented officer
should have? Courage and dash?
:16:45
Some of that. A soldier should have
some courage, of course.
:16:50
Most of all, to know what is right.
:16:52
Judgment, a feeling for decision.
:16:56
A cavalry officer depends on
the strike in his eye.
:16:59
When and where to use it.
:17:02
Comradeship. How high is that regarded
in military things?
:17:08
High. But true comrades are rare,
like the truly loving wife is rare.
:17:20
-William has talked of you constantly.
-l shall tell him to stop.
:17:24
He says you are the finest horseman
in England.
:17:27
Does he say l'm the finest dancer? l'm not.
:17:31
He goes further than that.
He says, probably in Europe, also.
:17:39
He exaggerates.
William is indeed fortunate.
:17:43
Are you happy to be a soldier's wife?
:17:47
Should soldiers have wives, Capt. Nolan?
:17:52
William should.
