Quotes by Kate Braithwaite (?)

“In the schoolroom with my brother’s tutor I remember being taught the words of Cardinal Richelieu, words from another time and another country, but no less apposite here: ‘Although in the course of ordinary cases justice requires authenticated proof, it is not the same with those that affect the state.”
― Kate Braithwaite, The Road to Newgate: A London Murder Mystery
