Conservative Convictions Lord Silverbridge had engaged himself to be with his father the next morning at half-past nine, and he entered the breakfast-room a very few minutes after that hour.

He had made up his mind as to what he would say to his father.

He meant to call himself a Conservative, and to go into the House of Commons under that denomination.

All the men among whom he lived were Conservatives.

It was a matter on which, as he thought, his father could have no right to control him.
