She's got oodles of Hornblower icons. You don't care for those, do you?

I managed to catch some of the Hornblower series with Ioan Griffud (Msp??) and while pleased, not entirely taken with the characters. Hornblower struck me as rather ...well, not as nice as Jack Aubrey. He seemed like he was only tolerating people and would rather be off somewhere NOT with them, no matter who they were. Ioan is a cutie, but I guess the answer is not really. Sorry :/

I just thought of those because you're into sailing stories from that era. I understand not liking them, though! No problem!

Good take! Horatio is a sweet kid, but he's deathly afraid of screwing up. He is introspective and, really, is his own best company ... but he doesn't think he's superior; he thinks he's inferior.
