Plot: Now married to Maria, Horatio Hornblower is soon sent by Admiral Pellew in search of the sloop Grasshopper captained by their old friend, Bracegirdle. The ship had been patrolling a stretch of French coast but had not sent in a report for over two weeks. During a raging storm they take aboard two passengers, an American woman and her French speaking Swiss husband. They are not what they pretend to be. Horatio and his men also encounter Wolfe, the Irish rebel turned traitor and now fighting France. They also realize exactly what Wolfe's plan is when they see three French frigates riding high in the water near his encampment. At home, Horatio is getting used to marriage and having to share his life with someone.

Quotes:

Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: You see things, sir, that others do not. One thing you do not question is your loyalty to your King. One day, Hornblower, you'll fight for more than England.::Commander Horatio Hornblower: What is there more than England?::Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: [He pointedly does not answer]

Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: Bonaparte's nothing to offer Ireland but misery and bloodshed. Ha! That's why England has a right to demand Irish loyalty!::Commander Horatio Hornblower: Yes Sir, although...::Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: Huh?::Commander Horatio Hornblower: It is perhaps better to earn loyalty than to demand it.::Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. When I became a man I put away childish things.::Commander Horatio Hornblower: Sir?::Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: You know Hornblower, it's very hard for a father to see his children grow up.::Commander Horatio Hornblower: I'm not sure I understand you sir.::Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: I daresay you will.

Mrs. Mason: Horatio. You think you're just the Hotspur's captain, you think only of your hundred crew. But you're also a husband now. Is it too much that you might think of one wife? That you might think of her as your duty too?
