[The Prime Minister by Anthony Trollope]@TWC D-Link bookThe Prime Minister CHAPTER XII 10/17
There are those at Rome who believe all England to be Romish at heart, because here in England a Roman Catholic can say what he will, and print what he will." "And yet," said Phineas, "all England does not return one Catholic to the House, while we have Jews in plenty.
You have a Jew among your English judges, but at present not a single Roman Catholic.
What do you suppose are the comparative numbers of the population here in England ?" "And you are going to cure all this;--while Tyrone thinks it ought to be left as it is? I rather agree with Tyrone." "No," said Phineas, wearily; "I doubt whether I shall ever cure anything, or even make any real attempt.
My patriotism just goes far enough to make me unhappy, and Lord Tyrone thinks that while Dublin ladies dance at the Castle, and the list of agrarian murders is kept low, the country is admirably managed.
I don't quite agree with him;--that's all." Then there arose a legal difficulty, which caused much trouble to the Coalition Ministry.
