Dear Rebecca Adkins
We will of course do all we can to help.
I don't myself recognise the passage, but if it from Kipling I am sure that
one of my colleagues will be able to place it. I will circulate your note to
our members, and will come back to you if we can locate the passage.
All good wishes, John Radcliffe
