Quotes 

• Captain Tennant : [posing as Vincent's brother]  My purpose in coming here is not to discuss my brother's character, nor even the circumstances of his arrest, but to ask why he is imprisoned here?

  Lieutenant-Colonel Ward : Because he was arrested by my men.

  Captain Tennant : And when will he be transferred to the civil authority?

  Lieutenant-Colonel Ward : When it is convenient.

  Captain Tennant : This is monstrous!

  Lieutenant-Colonel Ward : [oily grin]  No sir, it is the law.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Tennant : Remember, if you get caught running contraband, expect no help from us.

  Jack Vincent : What if I'm caught by the French?

  Captain Tennant : Expect to be shot.

  Jack Vincent : So one way or the other, I can't expect much, can I?

  Captain Tennant : Good luck, Lieutenant.

  [Jack Vincent sails away in his boat as Sarah rides up on a horse to watch him from the cliffs. Honesty is also there, watching silently]
