![]() ![]() Morrison is a miserable, hypocritical, cowardly penny pincher. He is however concerned about the enlisted men, as most of them come from similar backgrounds to the oppressed workers and he’s not entirely certain of their allegiances should push come to shove.Īs an officer, Flashman is billeted with a local factory owner by the name of Morrison. Flashman, who at this stage of his life, has only a rudimentary grasp of anything outside his own life, is on the side of the factory owners and aristocracy. He’s in Scotland because the working class are sick and tired of being underpaid, overworked and poorly treated in general and are rising up against the ruling class. I found it amusing that Flashman calls someone else rude, when he himself is so terribly rude to everyone, unless he can see some sort of opportunity in being polite. The climate is wet and the people are rude. Harry is in Scotland and he doesn’t much care for the place. ![]() It is for me anyway, it also has the introduction of one of my favourite characters, not just in this series, but in fiction generally. Chapter 4 of Flashman is a real game changer for the character and the series in general. ![]()
