Sketches In The House (1893)

CHAPTER IV
22/31

I have never heard, in my thirteen years' experience of the House of Commons, a speech more admirable in form.

Not a word too much, and every sentence linked tight to the other--reasoning, cogent, unanswerable, resistless.

And the point above all other things laid bare--are you Liberals going to help the Tories to postpone, if not finally overthrow Home Rule, or are you not?

Every word tells.
