Reminds me of nasty Christopher Biggins being dragged to his death by a bolting horse; only his starboard foot was in the port stirrup.

The series alluded to lashings of sex, and that hadn't been invented by 1796, either.

Sorry, Pavs, dunno who the squeezer is. Probably Kirkpatrick. Period looks.
