"Whom should we send as agent?"
"Send Harper. If anything goes wrong, Sharpe will rescue him."

"In 1815 a legendary colonel led the charge against Napoleon. This man promptly hung up his sword and retired to farming life. Today, still wanted by the military, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, and no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Colonel Sharpe!"♫Dunnn dun dunn du du dunnnn♫

[WARDEN]

Keeping Sharpe's best friend's wife outside the meeting room to guilt-trip him into changing his mind in case he said no?
Now that's Wellington-ing.

[OriginalGazGoose]

Wellington: Farming, really? Man of your talents?
Sharpe: It's a peaceful life.

Sharpe: "Wait, your missing man is Harper? Why didn't you lead with that? Could have saved us a whole lot of pointless discussion!"
Wellington: "But the audience needs this background info!"
Sharpe: "Wut?"
Wellington: "Wat?"

Wellington is a crafty devil. He boosted Sharpe up to officer out of thanks, and Sharpe has been paying him back ever since.

Sharpe is like a proto James Bond. Ex military officer, smart, badass turned intelligence officer. That template has been a staple for at least decades in TV and movies.

I love it how wellington just writes to "come at once". Years of fighting together and wellington still doesn't talk to Sharpe normally. the books are funny as both men respect each other and kept signing praises for each other but can be kept in the same room

"How has this man succeeded where so many others have failed?"
Delivering clunky lines with commitment. Now that's soldiering

[HenriHerbert]

Not ageing a day since Waterloo. That's Wellingtoning.

"Save him Sean Bean Kenobi, you're his only hope" says Princess RamonaD2

[murphyjack]

"Splendid...splendid!"
He's basically saying "You're even more awesome then I was told"

[Tadicuslegion]

Sending your best soldier's best friend first to get him to go to India
That's Wellingtoning.

[werriboy]

Giving up being a French farmer to go to India to find an Irishman who was your Sargent Major in the Peninsula campaign and who just showed up at Waterloo so he could catch a glimpse of Bonaparte. That's soldiering.

Changing your mind in a split second when the wife of a man you consider a brother to you asks you to go find her husband on the other side of the globe? Now that’s friendshipping.

Coming to a sharpe video to hear the "now that's soldiering memes" now that's Youtubing.

[joshthomas-moore]

Sharpes internal monologue when he hears its Harpers the one in trouble "Harper you fool!"

[packhorsetriumph]

The quality of these later episodes werent as good as the originals I found, but it was still so great to get a few more episodes after all those years

"Come at once!!!..." Ol Wellington doesn't mince his words, does he? Lol!
