charleygirlCame 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."
