Wormwood quotes from Sharpe

Wormwood

My men come along your supper there, sir, looking to take his pleasure of the maid, sir, by force.

Rape's a hanging, drunk's a flogging, and you in charge of all.

Wormwood

[suggesting to kill Simmerson in the hospital] It might be... 'kindness' to end his suffering, sir! I served once in a company that was wiped out by his orders. He's a stupid, malicious bastard!

Aye. But he's my stupid, malicious bastard. And I say he lives.

Wormwood

He that plucks the shortest measure from Deever's shut fist shall stand assassin.

That's murder, Colour.

Wormwood

It's him or us, boys. Him or us.
