The Duke of Wellington spoke with a nasal tone, as if he had a cold. "Harriet, regarding the matter with Catherine, we can discuss it slowly later. The dead cannot be brought back to life, and now it is pointless to say more. We have to face some more important matters now, which you should understand what I'm referring to—the matter that brought down the Cabinet."
Lady Abbasnot asked, "I certainly understand your thoughts. Parliamentary reform indeed does no good for this country. However, it has already passed its third reading in the House of Commons, and everything seems to have become inevitable. Promoting Catholic emancipation has already driven you to disgrace; if you now plan to stand against reform, your reputation...honestly, I'm even worried about your life."
The two walked into the sitting room, and just as they sat down on the chairs, a servant handed a towel to the Duke to dry his water-drenched clothes.
