Eviction Quotes

Who can think that this eviction of Germans was undertaken only as a temporary experiment?

I didn't want to remind you, my dear friend, of our coming eviction, first from liveliness, then from life. To which, most of the time, the friend's eyes will courteously reply, My dear, it's nothing at all. I hardly noticed. View quote

Bradlaugh makes the most noise, but the Irish Evictions Bill is much the most serious thing. ... If the Eviction Act passes, there will not be many more seasons. It is a revolutionary age and the chances are, that even you and I may live to see the final extinction of the great London Season, which was the wonder and admiration of our youth. View quote
