When I was in the Theatre the Time above-mentioned, I had the Curiosity to count the Patches on both Sides, and found the Tory Patches to be about Twenty stronger than the Whig; but to make amends for this small Inequality, I the next Morning found the whole Puppet-Show filled with Faces spotted after the Whiggish Manner.
Repulsive as the thought was to one still holding to Whiggish Liberalism, though flying various Radical kites, he was caught by the decisive ultratorrent, and whirled to amid the necessity for the interference of the State, to stop the poisoning of the poor. Upper classes have never legislated systematically in their interests; and quid... rabidae tradis ovile lupae? says one of the multitude.
Great Whig landowners controlled the rural districts, and the aristocracy of the towns was won by the Whiggish policy of devotion to public credit and the protection of commerce. Though disclaiming the title, he was recognized by every one as the "prime minister" prime in importance, prime in power.

Now, mon ami, you have put me under a great obligation. It was a rare piece of work, and to be frank, I did not think you had it in you.
"There are whiles," said he, "when ye are altogether too canny and Whiggish to be company for a gentleman like me; but there come other whiles when ye show yersel' a mettle spark; and it's then, David, that I love ye like a brother."
The doctor was one of her prebendaries, one of her rectors, one of her pillars of strength; and was, moreover, counted on as a sure ally both by Proudies and Grantlys. He himself was the brother of one peer, and his wife was the sister of another and both these peers were lords of Whiggish tendency, with whom the new bishop had some sort of alliance.
