& Narrator: First love! What a change it makes in a lad. What a magnificent secret it is he carries with him! The tender passion gushes out of a man’s heart. He loves as a bird sings... or a rose blows from nature.
& Sergeant: Gentlemen, you may fight it out with fists if you choose. We’ll form a square for that purpose.
& Narrator: It would require a great philosopher and historian to explain the causes of the famous Seven Years’ War in which Europe was engaged and in which Barry’s regiment was now on its way to take part. Let it suffice to say, that England and Prussia were allies and at war against the French, the Swedes, the Russians and the Austrians.
& Narrator: It is well to dream of glorious war in a snug armchair at home, but it is a very different thing to see it first hand. And after the death of his friend, Barry’s thoughts turned from those of military glory to those of finding a way to escape the service to which he was now tied for another six years. Gentlemen may talk of the age of chivalry, but remember the ploughmen, poachers and pickpockets whom they lead. It is with these sad instruments that your great warriors and kings have been doing their murderous work in the world.
& Narrator: A lady who sets her heart upon a lad in uniform must prepare to change lovers pretty quickly, or her life will be but a sad one. This heart of Lischen’s was like many a neighboring town and had been stormed and occupied several times before Barry came to invest it...
& Narrator: Five years in the English and Prussian army, and some considerable experience of traveling the world, had by now dispelled any of those romantic notions regarding love with which Barry commenced life. And he began to have it in mind, as so many gentlemen had done before him, to marry a woman of great fortune and condition...
& Narrator: To make a long story short... six hours after they met... Her Ladyship was in love.
& Mother: Shall I tell you something?.. There is only one way for you and your son to have real security. You must obtain a title. I shall not rest until I see you Lord Lyndon. You have important friends. They can tell you how these things are done. For money, well-timed and properly applied... can accomplish anything.
& Second: Mr. Lyndon, are you ready to receive Lord Bullingdon’s fire? ...
