I can recall many times when despair filled my heart.
When first I joined the fleet as a raw midshipman and turned seasick inside a harbor.
When I was given my first command and lost it.
Yet none was worse than the days when I found myself captured by the Spaniards and crept into their prison at Farol.
What is that you ask, Senor Hornblower?
A possible exchange of prisoners?
That's it.
No, no, no.
It is not for that reason that I have requested Senor Brian to bring you to my office.
Oh, well, I just had hopes.
You are young, Senor.
Those who are young are forever hopeful.
But if I cannot set you free, my young enemy, I can at least make you more comfortable, eh?
More comfortable?
You are now a lieutenant.
Under the articles governing treatment of prisoners, you are entitled to certain privileges.
Oh, well, yes, it had slipped my mind.
You shall no longer be quartered with the midshipmen
Senor O'Brien will see to it that you are transferred to the prison rooms reserved for captured officers.
More like cells than rooms to my way of thinking.
