O'brian-The Letter of Marque-spoiler question

[carnivorousplant]

Generay Aubrey is found dead in a ditch; but I distinctky remember Jack speaking with his father in a later novel.
What gives? Is this like Reade's arm?

[vivalostwages]

Time travel.



Seriously...I'm reading The Reverse of the Medal right now and ...Marque is next. I'll check it out.

[carnivorousplant]

Don't give me any of that Able Seaman Daniels bilge water!
Take that poster's name!
Punishment at eight bells!

[NoClueBoy]

What rank is Generay?

Is that like Admirable?

[carnivorousplant]

Damn your dumb show, NoClue!
Your grog is stopped for a week!

[vivalostwages]

An extra ration of rum for NCB. :D
Give me a few days, dammit*. I'll have to be reading research papers when I'd rather be reading O'Brian.






"dammit" is, of course, a mere able seaman.

This is off the top of my head, but I believe you may be remembering Jack's talk with a distant cousin (or just family friend) who actually owns the votes to the seat in parliament once occupied by General Aubrey. He's the one who offers the seat to Jack.

[carnivorousplant]

You are correct, Curate, but I remember a conversation with his father in one of the later books. Parliment ain't in it.
