Many others were spread round the village in cottages where they had no inside baths. So my mother let several of these men keep a bath towel upstairs in the castle, and they were free to come in at any time to have a bath and refresh themselves.' Waugh tells us in his 'Memorandum on Layforce' that at the beginning of January, 1941, a rehearsal of a planned operation was conducted using troops from 8 Commando and 3 Commando, which was observed by senior officers from the Admiralty and the War Office. Arran was supposed to be like the island of Pantellaria, and each party was given a march and climb of about the size that would be required for real. We have to wait a while for the comic character to be introduced to Waugh's castle scene.

Waugh creates a convincing account of someone sliding into psychological collapse when Colonel Fido Hound becomes disoriented and lost in the retreat from Crete, but we do not really know what happens to him in the end. Waugh’s own notes to the novel claim that Ludovic might have killed Hound – but we are given no reason why this should be the case – except that Ludovic has earlier hinted menacingly that some officers were being shot by members of their own lower ranks.
