Arthur saw that Palmerston's sly intentions were finally revealed, and he stood up to make a point: "Your Excellency is correct, of course I know, if it weren't for Catholic emancipation, I might have spent my whole life as a patrolman at Scotland Yard with a thirty-pound annual salary, enduring a life of chasing pickpockets and streetwalkers in the fog of London until old age. But I also know..."
Arthur shifted his tone: "It is precisely because this emancipation came too late, and with much difficulty, that countless people who could have become the backbone of Britain instead turned into exiled radicals, street agitators, or even fugitives in the Caucasus Mountains."
Palmerston squinted his eyes slightly, noticing Arthur used the term "Caucasus."
