That's Three men in formal duels; one with a sword and two with pistols at dawn.

If you count Warnecke and his two henchmen as a duel, then her total is six men in four duels.

See? I knew I needed help with this. Nice correction Harold. Gossip travels at different speeds in the Honorverse.

I hear that the only successful tactical sneak attack against her resulted in her marrying the Admiral who managed to pull it off — Admiral White Haven when he "caught joy" in stealthily passing spermatheletes by her. She never even saw them ... um ... coming. :lol: :oops:

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Defeated an entire fleet while coasting on momentum only, with a mostly "wet-behind-the-ear" crew, while commanding an unsanctioned, underpowered, no-named, outgunned Navy of stolen ships, without incurring a single hit, let alone a casualty ... all with one arm tied behind her back. No wait ... with one arm removed!

Wait ... now that I think about it, Cordelia Ransom must have really pissed Honor off. "I'll ... I'll ... I'll steal from you and kick your sorry asses with your own ships! With my power off! I'm gonna shove redemption right up your wedge."

Horatio Hornblower my ass ... he only wish he was that good.

Shat on her future husband's head for being a stubborn, ornery old fool...

She chastized a Queen. Reprimanded an Admiral (White Haven), shooed another Admiral who was completely out of her chain of command (Admiral Theisman), and threatened the Head of State of a foreign power (Protector Benjamin) and made him submit.

The only person in the Honorverse who can arrive in any one of 6 different polities unannounced and have a family style dinner with the head of government that night.

She pussy whipped an entire planet of chauvinistic males and made them cry Uncle (or cried Protector). Those she couldn't whip, her pussy whipped. Regarding the other planet (Masada) the gloves come off, and she simply kicked their asses. She even opened up a channel to them "Don't make me come down there!" And she did!

Damn hanuman. I don't know whether to be afraid or excited. Can you imagine an already insanely tall Honor in high heels, dressed as a dominatrix, all in leather, spikes and chains, with the sound of a cracking whip, looking at you with levelled missile batteries and "demanding" in a cold soprano voice "Someone's been a bad boy?"

"Yes Mistress Sally."


Thanks for the visual.

Thanks (I think) cthia, I'll always have that image at the back of my mind from now on.

I'll wait until Namelessfly wakes up to see how he incorporates a shower scene into that vision.
