"The majesty need not worry, we'll swing this!"
- Finance minister FV Thorsson, former shoemaker and agitator, thumping King Gustav V on the back while finagling out a deal to introduce full and equal voting rights without giving the leftest wing the people's republic they wanted.

(Now let's see if Goodreads will actually let me count this as read this year... ETA: Nope. Apparently this book doesn't count, for whatever reason. Maybe it's not up on Amazon?)
