I wish Nicholas and John Thomas would come.

I'll warrant they're talking what they call politics." Politics was precisely the subject which had been occupying them, for when Tyrrel entered the dining-room, the Squire, Judge Rawdon, and Mr.Nicholas Rawdon were all standing, evidently just finishing a Conservative argument against the Radical opinions of John Thomas.

The young man was still sitting, but he rose with smiling good-humor as Tyrrel entered.
"Here is Cousin Tyrrel," he cried; "he will tell you that you may call a government anything you like radical, conservative, republican, democratic, socialistic, but if it isn't a CHEAP government, it isn't a good government; and there won't be a cheap government in England till poor men have a deal to say about making laws and voting taxes." "Is that the kind of stuff you talk to our hands, John Thomas?
No wonder they are neither to hold nor to bind." They were in the hall as John Thomas finished his political creed, and in a few minutes the adieux were said, and the wonderful day was over.
It had been a wonderful day for all, but perhaps no one was sorry for a pause in life--a pause in which they might rest and try to realize what it had brought and what it had taken away.
