Although it filled me with sorrow, it has given me the purpose to fight again. Sir Paine spoke of the morality of the Tories. He recalled a story about a Tory who spoke with a horrid expression, “Well! give me peace in my day” (43), and compared it to that of a generous parent, who would speak of his children, and not selfishly of himself
