Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pongo and the Bull "The great practical advantage of the English bi-party system is that it provides an alternative Government ready to take the place, without friction or disturbance, of an Administration that may have lost the confidence of the country." - Guizot. Dolly, the Prime Minister of England, was in 1925, though still popular, no longer young: indeed he was in his sixty-sixth year. His old trouble with his left (or was it his right?) lung had curiously enough disappeared with advancing years. The climate of the Roussillon had helped to do this in part, but in part also the great care which he had taken of his health since his first warning. The doctors had given it a name; they had continued to give it the same name, but he knew that he was no longer affected by it and it was a relief to him. It was a further relief to him that as the years passed a sort of definition had come into his private life: a clearly marked boundary between those whom he knew and could trust and were of his own world, and younger, or newer, outer things.
