Sunset

So as Napoleon tries to get away, his carriage is pursued and intercepted and he is taken prisoner. And today his burgundy cloak plus carriage will be put on display at Windsor castle armoury rooms. Splice the mainbrace, tis time to celebrate with a bottle of rum.


Sunset for another republican era. 


Time to head for home and Charlestown in Cornwall me hearties. Waterloo was a wash. Republicans away. Dr Byrd come in number 7, time to wax lyrical. A close run thing, says Wellington, but Napoleon was beaten by a siesta and an over confident nincompoop general on his own side. Waterloo was not necessary in fact at all, and it cost Napoleon his freedom. Wellington retires to London with his generals and presides over a banquet celebrating the victory, while Napoleon goes into exile.
