Their intention was to protect the Canal, which had come under threat from Arabi’s supporters, restore the more compliant Khedive to power, and then quietly withdraw. In the event, they were still there seventy years later, until another nationalist leader, Gamal Nasser, compelled them to leave. By one of the ironies of history, the expeditionary force had been sent out by a Liberal government, despite Gladstone’s declared policy of non-intervention. In command was Sir Garnet Wolseley, whose exploits in the Zulu wars had made him the nation’s leading soldier, while Frederick Roberts, soon to be one of Kipling’s heroes, marked time in Madras. These ironies were lost on the young Kipling, but in the four days he had to wait at Port Said he did have time to take in the atmosphere of a base-camp only fifty miles from the scene of battle. Ten years later he was to draw on these impressions for parts of The Light that Failed.

Both she and Rudyard found Torquay stuffy, and disliked their house. Its only real advantage was its nearness to the navy base at Dartmouth, and Kipling happily accepted an invitation to visit the Royal Navy’s training school, the three-decker HMS Britannia. Here he found new material to explore, though his status as a celebrity guest meant that he had less rapport with the ordinary seamen than he had enjoyed with the soldiers in India.
