Ah.
Out here in the federation of penal colonies - the anti-poads, what we
have heard, of the arguments and predictions of the leaders of the
parliamentary parties of the english parliament, makes it appear that
the english parliament believes that if Scotland votes for
independence, then England will be broken off the island and cast
adrift, and drift to the edge of the world, and fall off, to disappear
forever, leaving only Scotland and Ireland remaining, and, England
existing nevermore (I think it was an english raven, that cried out
"Nevermore").
