If we didn't know already that Granger was a rising star, we certainly do now. Chatham and Sir Phillip were obviously impressed with our lieutenant, and that can only bode well for the future. What I found interesting, and I may be reading more into this than there is, is the line:
Now, have they got him up for promotion I wonder...or maybe another prestigious role? Time will tell.
An added bonus for George is that he has Travers to himself for a short while; and what I thought stood out was Granger's offer to tell Caroline of their relationship to try and ease Travers guilt. Now was he calling his bluff, or would he have actually done it? My instinct is for the latter...a defining moment I feel.
Excellent as always.
