quote:I was about to call out, but to my astonishment Sher Kahn suddenly stooped beside me, there was a metallic snap, and he had a fetter clasped round my left leg. Before I could even protest, he was thrusting me towards a horse, snarling: "Up, husoor!" and I was no sooner in the saddle than he had passed a short ha in from my fetter under the beast's belly, and secured my other ankle, so that I was effectively shackled to the pony. Oh, Flashy... the other shoe's been there just waiting to drop for so long and if you'd only stop thinking with your dick for two seconds you'd look up and notice it. But let's face it: we're all waiting for the next time he gets hosed over. Let's see what the world (well, Fraser) does to him this time!

Arbite posted:Ahhh! Who? I feel like there should be enough clues to figure out which duke if GMF had a historical one in mind. Is there anywhere with a roster of peers for 1842? As I feel I haven't really contributed to the thread yet, I spent some time on Wikipedia looking at the holders of various Ducal titles contemporaneous for 1842. While there's nothing that really nails it down (and I get the feeling it's probably just a stereotype of an old Duke), there is one possible candidate that might have some link: Henry Somerset, 7th Duke of Beaufort, was roughly the right age (50) and had roughly the right career for the Duke's character. Interestingly, he also shows up in Black Ajax, a historical novel by GMF that features Flashy's dad, Buck Flashman, as a major character (though at the time of that . Should be noted though that Black Ajax isn't part of the main Flashman series, I just thought it was an interesting note.
