text_original: "When Lord Peterborough was asked by a friend one day his opinion of a certain measure, says my lord, in some surprise, 'This is the first time I ever heard of it.' * Impossible,' says the other; *why, you are a privy councillor.' *So I am,' replies his lordship, 'and there is a Cabinet councillor coming up to us just now ; if you ask the same question of him he will perhaps hold his peace, and then you will think he is in the secret ; but if he opens once his mouth about it you will find he knows as little of it as I do.'
