Cherringham--Final Cut (2015)
“Many a True Word … 12. Many a True Word … Jack crept slowly along the stone battlements, making sure to keep his head down behind the parapet.
If the guys at One Police Plaza could see me now, he thought. Connecticut Yankee in the Court of King Arthur — the real deal!
This was like being in a movie.

Nobody on the sliver of grass below — which s...eparated the castle from the black waters of the fast-flowing Thames — would be able to see him up here. But he could see clear across the river — and what an amazing sight it was.
The far meadows filled with tents, wagons and horses. He could see flags and pennants flickering in the breeze. And closer to the river below, lined up in a threatening display, two ranks of cannons had their barrels pointing right at him.
With the sun setting behind him, the whole array glowed orange, and light flashed from lines of swords stacked under canvas awnings.MoreLess
