If you are not For, then you are Against. If you are not black, many men will jump to the conclusion that you are white: the fact probably being that you are gray. If not a Whig, you must be a Tory: in truth, you are a Liberal-Conservative. We desiderate in all things the sharp decidedness of the verdict of a jury Guilty or Not Guilty.
He is a tall, common-looking, heavily-built, blustering kind of fellow; great, it is said, on the abusive Tory platform, almost dumb and utterly impotent in the House of Commons. These were the vanguard of the Orange army, and they proceeded to appropriate the first and best seats they could lay their hands upon. Dr.
Another had gone back to England to live out his life there, true to his Tory convictions. Washington had sincerely believed, no doubt, that he was to spend the rest of his life in dignified leisure, and especially that he would mix no more in political or public worries; but he soon found that he had deceived himself.
The Secretary of State under whom Addison first served was Sir Charles Hedges, a Tory. But Hedges was soon dismissed, to make room for the most vehement of Whigs, Charles, Earl of Sunderland. In every department of the State, indeed, the High Churchmen were compelled to give place to their opponents.
The morality called Puritanism, the tendency called Liberalism, the reaction called Tory Democracy, had not only long been powerful, but had practically done most of their work, before these actual names were attached to them.

What do your radicals care about colonies? Institutions! What do they care about institutions?

When Owen arrived at the yard he found Bert White cleaning out the dirty pots in the paint-shop.
The loss of his Roman memoranda was indirectly brought about by a singular incident, his account of which has met with some undeserved ridicule at the hands of Tory criticism.
Do you remember you said in Radley's room all those hundreds of years ago that you wanted to be a country squire?" "Yes," answered I, with a quivering lip. "And Penny wanted to be a Tory.... And I wanted to lead the people. Oh, well. I'd like just to have known whether we won the war in the end. P'raps you'll know " "We're winning," said I feebly.
The materials, however, which are at present accessible, are sufficient for the construction of a narrative not to be read without shame and loathing. We have seen that, in the spring of 1690, Shrewsbury, irritated by finding his counsels rejected, and those of his Tory rivals followed, suffered himself, in a fatal hour, to be drawn into a correspondence with the banished family.
