Title: Buried Truth Part Nine
Author: charleygirl
Rating: PG
Type: Gen, action/adventure, romance, AU
Characters Involved/Pairing: Hornblower, Bush, Kennedy, Styles, Hobbs, Cotard
Summary: What to do now?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters except Anna and her family and Isobel and co - they belong to CSF/A&E. I just play with them from time to time.
Author's Note: This part is rather talky, and there's only a brief appearance from Bush. I'm being deliberately vague about the location of the prison, as I'm not sure exactly where there would have been one in Portsmouth at that time. The dockyard's a huge place, so I'm assuming that there would have been a place of detention somewhere. Just put it down to the fact that this is all happening in an alternative universe. :)

In the absence of any new fic on my part, as the muse seems to be on a permanent holiday, something written a couple of years ago. iansmomesq  will probably remember this one. A rare foray into deliberate humour for me! :)

Thank you to sharpiefan for the assistance! :)

Last night I was watching my shiny new Python Complete Series 2 DVD, when it clicked onto an episode I'd never seen before: No. 11, How Not To Be Seen. UK Gold didn't broadcast it years ago when I originally taped them all, probably because of all the piss-taking about religion in it, but that's not important. 

During a sketch about a film director with enormous buck teeth, they showed a clip from what was meant to be one of his films: The Death of Nelson (complete with leading actors sporting enormous buck teeth). Imagine my surprise when Graham Chapman (Nelson) suddenly called Terry Jones "Mr Bush"! 

I know I shouldn't be surprised by that, as I'm sure that, like other guys of their generation, the Pythons would have read the Hornblower books and no doubt seen the Gregory Peck film, but still, it was something I certainly didn't expect! :)

I thought that as I'm getting back into the swing of writing *crosses fingers* it might be an idea to post links to the two previous fics in the Bush/Anna series.
