Sir William Ponsonby Quotes:

  • Sir William Ponsonby: My Father poor fellow, was killed by the French. Never should have happened

    Lord Uxbridge: Really?

    Sir William Ponsonby: Yes, his horse got caught in a bog and the brute just gave up. Seven damn lancers had him like a tiger in a pit. Bad luck, eh, Uxbridge?

    Lord Uxbridge: Damn bad luck!

  • Sarah: Mama, Iggy has promised to bring me a cuirassier's helmet to use as a work basket - without blood in it, Mama.

    Duchess of Richmond: And one for me, young man - *with* the blood.

    Sir William Ponsonby: And where do you plan to stick your Frenchman, Hay?

    Lord Richard Hay: I thought under the right arm, sir.

    Sarah: See? He has it all planned.

    General Sir Thomas Picton: When you meet a cuirassier beam-to-beam, you'll be lucky if you bring away your life with you, never mind his helmet. Boy, you'll learn the art of fighting from the French.

  • Sir William Ponsonby: Before we go, Uxbridge...

    [proffering snuff powder]

    Lord Uxbridge: [snorts] Ah...

    [sneezes]

    Lord Uxbridge: Savage stuff, Ponsonby!

    Sir William Ponsonby: You don't see its like any more. My father left us a hundredweight, down to the last ounce. An old Jew in Alexandria had the blend.

    Lord Uxbridge: Blend?

    [Ponsonby laughs]
