THE ARREST OF LIEUTENANT GOLIGHTLY

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children, and he also was the first to use Cockney dialect in serious poetry.
"The Arrest of Lieutenant Golightly" is a short story, which was first published in the "Civil and Military Gazette" and in subsequent editions of that collection. The story, published when Kipling was not quite 21 years old, is a well-crafted piece of writing about an essential schoolboy version of schadenfreude with an element of slapstick. Lieutenant Golightly is a young officer in the British Army in India who prides himself on "looking like 'an Officer and a Gentleman'". This story will certainly appeal to those who would like to become familiar with Kipling's adult-focused stories!
