I've said this before, that, when you're in school and you're the class clown, men are really good at making fun at other people and women are really good at making fun of themselves.

[edit]

Synopsis: Horatio Hornblower has a number of successes, but that doesn't keep him from gatting caught and thrown into a Spanish prison, where he finds someone he long thought dead.


Reaction: Again, a great chance for Hornblower to show off his stuff, but this time, it's more the honor of the man than the measure of the warrior.
