Ioan Gruffudd portrays Horatio Hornblower, a young Lieutenant in the British Navy.
In this chapter, Horatio gets the first hint of romance that there has been in the four original tele-films, as he is charmed by a young French girl, Mariette, who has been teaching the children of the Marquis' village.
Pellew's discomfort at sending the young Lieutenant into such a dangerous situation is evident, as well as his fondness for the young man. It is noticeable by all around them, and he does lament how much he would miss Horatio should something happen to him.

 Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho: Hornblower is not really a coming of age story
Most of the historical seafaring adventures I took a look at are the likes of CS Forester's Hornblower saga: "Bland, usually depressed teenage hero rises from midshipman to admiral." The main target audience are teenage boys, the story is driven by professional success and coming of age problems.
Forester is on the record for stating that all of these novels were created from the story elements first, and they became Hornblower stories because he fit the requirements of the story.
The Hornblower stories are not character-intensive, and that's how I like them.
