The small minority of Londoners with Romanist leanings minimised the rumours of the Earls' flight as long as it was possible. But it...
Pagina 15 - At this my heart sank within me: the whole foundation on which my life was constructed fell down. All my happiness was to have been found in the continual pursuit of this end.
