Every
one agreed that General Gordon had been avenged at last. Who
could doubt it? General Gordon himself, possibly, fluttering, in
some remote Nirvana, the pages of a phantasmal Bible, might have
ventured on a satirical remark. But General Gordon had always
been a contradictious person--even a little off his head,
perhaps, though a hero; and besides, he was no longer there to
contradict... At any rate, it had all ended very happily--in a
glorious slaughter of 20,000 Arabs, a vast addition to the
British Empire, and a step in the Peerage for Sir Evelyn Baring.
