First sentence: More than twenty years after British forces occupied Egypt, (in 1882), Lord Cromer, the former British Agent and Consul-General described how, "whenever the British Government were reproached by the French, or by British partisans of evacuation, with not having fulfilled their pledge to evacuate, the reply persistently given, both by Conservative and Liberal statesmen, was that England's work in Egypt was not yet completed."
