"Remove that bauble".
Spirit of the people -"The hour has come when your house is not only a nuisance but a danger to the Country. So Begone." / Hereditary and irresponsible legislator -"What, ho! without there. Drop ye Portcullis, and set thy lances in rest. To the rescue! We are betrayed"! / The people's William -"Humph, it is very hard lines on me to be obliged to lend a hand to this business, as I hope at no very distant day to be one of their Lordships myself."
