A Song for Honor (and others)

AJKohler wrote:Sorry, people. The song for Eloise and Javier is obviously Faith Hill's 'If I Fall Behind.' Or perhaps The Canadian Tenors' 'Watching Over Me.'

As for Honor's death rides, while I admit (proudly) to being a bagpipe aficionado, the one that really strikes a chord for me (no pun intended) is The Ecstasy of Gold from the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

What can I say? I have some odd tastes in music. I've never even heard of a lot of the artists mentioned so far, much less heard the songs.

"I'll have your commission!" Houseman gobbled. "I have friends in high places, and I'll—"

Honor slapped him.

She shouldn't have. She knew even as she swung that she'd stepped beyond the line, but she put all the strength of her Sphinx-bred muscles into that backhand blow, and Nimitz's snarl was dark with shared fury. The explosive crack! was like a breaking tree limb, and Houseman catapulted back from the table as blood burst from his nostrils and pulped lips.

A red haze clouded Honor's vision, and she heard Langtry saying something urgent, but she didn't care. She grabbed the end of the heavy conference table and hurled it out of her way as she advanced on Houseman, and the bloody-mouthed diplomat's hands scrabbled frantically at the floor as he propelled himself away from her on the seat of his trousers.

She didn't know what she would have done next if he'd shown a scrap of physical courage. She never would know, for as she loomed above him she heard him actually sobbing in his terror, and the sound stopped her dead.
