Hornblower 8: Duty

Hornblower is filled with trepidation on his wedding day, but he has given his word - how could he dishonour his bride Maria and live with himself? Admiral Pellew gives Hornblower little time to ponder his new state of matrimony as he sends him off immediately to search for the missing sloop 'Grasshopper', captained by their old friend, Bracegirdle. Meanwhile, waiting patiently in England, Maria has her own momentous news for Hornblower.
