Although he had been one of Peel's warmest supporters in 1846, he had come to dread Liberalism as tending towards anarchy, and he adopted the singular verbal fallacy that a low franchise would mean a low standard of politics.

'I suppose you're going to make a scene, Clara addressed her. 'Please remember how late it is, and don't let all the house hear you.
