Short HH fic

[charleygirl]

Came across this while clearing out the hard drive yesterday. I think it's the first Hornblower fic I wrote. :)

Short and silly!

A Recommendation


Hornblower watched Bush gingerly poke at the Styles's latest attempt at breakfast. The expression on the First Lieutenant's face told him everything he needed to know.

"I received a dispatch this morning," he remarked.

The look of disgust on Bush's face remained unchanged. "Oh, really, sir?"

"Yes. apparently, we're being sent a new steward."

Bush glanced up, disgust becoming surprise in an instant. "A good man, sir?"

"According to this, he served in the kitchens at Carlton House."

Hornblower could tell that it mattered little to Bush that the man had prepared dinner for the Prince of Wales. "As long as he can cook, make a decent cup of coffee and has never heard of turnips, we should be all right, sir," the lieutenant said. "What's his name?"

Hornblower glanced at the paper in his hand. It was an unusual name, certainly. "A Mr S Baldrick."

ROTF!!!! That is absolutely priceless! I was laughing so hard, I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything whilst I read it! It could have been very interesting. *grin* Thanks, my dear! I needed a good laugh this morning as I've got maintenance coming to attempt to do something about the heaters.
