Lord Jack Spears:
I suppose they'll shoot me? Richard Sharpe:
I suppose so. Lord Jack Spears:
I didn't do it for the money Richard. Though it would have been damned useful. Richard Sharpe:
So why did you do it Jack? Lord Jack Spears:
Courage. It's like the King's Shilling, Richard. Some soldiers save it, Some soldiers spend it all in one day. I told you my life was saved by a French doctor. Well the doctor was Colonel Leroux, and he saved my life simply by virtue of the fact that he stopped torturing me before I died. And I just couldn't stand it anymore. See I had spent the whole coin of Courage. And then he made me sign some papers, betraying my honour, and the honour of a lady I once loved. And I could not let him use that, so I became his spy, ridiculous as this sounds to you Richard
