This works so well.

For such a happy story, I cannot understand why there is dust in my eye.

Nice. Made me smile.

An excellent sense of sentimentality from the descendants of two hard men.

just brilliant

If an Irish Rifleman can find his way to the Chateau, would there be a chance of an American Officer, possibly from an armoured unit, (sucessors to the cavalry,) also finding his way there ?

Oh, I liked this. Well done.

Not bad, not bad at all. And I did like your disclaimer: "looking down the wrong end of a Baker rifle. Or a summons."

This is really cool and very well written! It's nice to think of the Sharpes staying there and "blood will out". :) You did miss out quite a few words, though, like:

**He introduced himself as, and surprised to be invited into the kitchen for a meal and a tale.**

Otherwise, it was really neat. :D

I like this a lot! Short and sweet. You have a good turn of phrase and a fine style of writing. I also like your plot of family-as-legacy. Thank you for writing and posting this. Sincerely, Darkover

Aww I loved this. Loved that you have shown how Sharpe and Harper will always live on :)

Also liked how it follows the books and how you chose the name for Augusting Richard Harper!

Saw the films before I read the books and although the books are amazing I can only see Sean Bean and Daragh O'Malley as the characters and here you also brought them to life.

Well done :)

Damned fine story! Gives me a shiver. Now I have to dig out my Sharpes books again.

Thanks for sticking to the book version of the story. While I enjoy the movies the books are cannon for me.

Thank you, this is a wonderful contribution to Sharpe!What an original idea - congratulations!
