Nolan Hemmings: Denny

Quotes 

• Denny : [after Major Lennox has died]  Sir, what will Mr. Sharpe do now that Major Lennox has asked him for an Eagle?

  Leroy : [sharply]  I didn't hear Sharpe say nothin' about no Eagle, Mr. Denny... and neither did you!

  Denny : [pause, then:]  Yes, sir. Sorry, Sir.

  Leroy : You want to live, Mr. Denny? You stay away from Sharpe.

• Richard Sharpe : [eulogizing the dead Major Lennox]  At a place called Assaye I saw an army about to turn and run. One Major stepped forward and steadied the line. He saved us. Major Lennox, 78th Scottish Highlanders.

  [He turns away] 

  Denny : [long pause, then to Captain Leroy]  I thought he was just an old man!

• Richard Sharpe : [Starting the rifle drill of his new men]  Right, let's get to work! - And Mr. Denny, if you see any man doing anything not in the manual...

  Denny : I take his name, sir?

  Richard Sharpe : Give him half a pint of rum on the spot, Mr. Denny!
