A very strong notivo for satisfaction
at the conquest of the Sudan was psychological, "We have
gained precious national self-reepect.,,, Wo were humiliated
and out of pockot; wo had enbraked in a foolish
adventure and it had turned out even worse than anybody
had forceen. No* this was surely the very point where
a nation of shopkeepers should have cut its losses and
turned to better business elsewhero. ". Wo did nothing
such, I'io tried to; but our dogged fighting dander would
not let us, We could not sit down till the defeat was
redeemed, e gave more money; we gavo the lives of the
men we loved,
- and we conquered the Soudan again. Now
we can permit ourselves to think of it in peace. "
Only the radical and peace prong ran counter to the
atroa;, bore of jubilation, - Reynolds Nei and Concord
oxpronned horror at tho manoacre of the Dorviohso and
"the outburat of feroctouc joy with which lnreo numboro
of the Establishment received the news Of thin festival
of lyddita shells and ciachine guns. "
