[edit] Move request

  • Support. Unnecessary disambiguation. grendel|khan 21:26, 2005 May 6 (UTC)
  • Neutral to Don't Move Some of O'Brian's titles require disambiguation and it seems reasonable to have a certain consistency in the page titles with the added (novel) after all of them. Given that I am not completely set on that. Dabbler 23:03, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Title

I was wondering if anyone can place this line exactly from Homer? Is it from the Iliad? Ivankinsman (talk) 17:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] The Reverend Nathaniel Martin

This seems to be the last we hear of Mr Martin, Stephen's close friend and fellow naturalist. O'Brian edges him out of the series with Jack Aubrey bestowing two livings on him from his cousin's, Edward Norton's estate, and with the prospect of a third once the elderly incumbent dies. It seems that Martin has tired of life at sea and looks forward to being at home with his wife and a relatively wealthy lifestyle from the tithes he will receive from his parishioners.Ivankinsman (talk) 09:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
