There was/is no George IX (ever, when Prince George becomes king he'll be George VII) as you said there was.

I can't forgive you for maybe meaning George IV because he was REGENT from 1811 and at this point you state Hornblower is a lieutenant so it's before 1803. You mean George III.

I'm guessing you're not British because I knew that when I was six or seven.

Apart from that it was brilliant and I would love to see it continued.

Great story, I just love the relationship between these two!

I think there's one instance of "you're" being used where it should have been "your", and I would suggest you probably mean George IV, rather than IX, but those are the only issues - I enjoyed the plot immensely, and there are little details - such as making up the beds being a very Horatio thing to do - that furthered that enjoyment. Bravo.

LOL "Your fault" That was great! Well done, I really enjoyed your characterizations.

very interesting fic, it was really amusing esp. the last part. : )

A very interesting one-shot. Well-done.

I found this extremely amusing, well done! You've got the characters interaction down pat (although I'm not sure about King George's personality as you portrayed it but then I don't study British history) and its so rare to find good Hornblower fan fic that doesn't involve slash these days. xD

I really rather enjoyed this, and can't wait to read the next bit. There is more, isn't there...? *hopes*

great story! very well written :) I like Horatio/Pellew stories, and this one is pretty true to their characters!
