To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. In addition to the public necessity, I think you owe much to our late Whig colleagues, who behaved so nobly and generously towards us, after Lord John's resignation. They have some right to expect this sacrifice. You conclude your letter by pressing me to enter the Cabinet. Now there is really no sense in this; and I cannot imagine how you could seriously propose THE ENEMY WITHIN (1855) 295 it. You would expose me to gratuitous indignity, to which no one ought to expect me to submit. I say gr...atuitous ; for I could not be of the slightest use in such a situation for the purpose you require. I can retire with perfect equanimity from the Government in consequence of the vote of the House of Commons ; but to be stigmatised as the head, and tolerated as a subordinate member of the very same Cabinet to-morrow would be a degradation to which I could never submit. I tell you plainly that I would rather die than do so; and indeed the sense of it would go far to kill me. Windsor Castle, Feb. 17, 1855.
