He did not call him the devil. He said “they find themselves between the devil, and talk about the devil his imps appear. i think that’s how the expression goes.”
Ralph was just walking in the room, so I believe he called him an imp of the devil.
As far as I can see, nobody in the House has any respect for anyone. I cry for my country.
If I assume that some one refer to me as he devil and I know that I am definetly not the devil , then why should I make that trouble me? It will only bother me if I am the devil.
Ar yo hay who ah taik bout role model and children ah listen, wen the two accused who walk in man yard and injured him and accused raepeist

When people sitting there has been accused of rape and said only reassuring kiss and did not go to court who in that country can have any respect for them?
Leacock did not call anyone devil, they call them self the devil.
What a waste of time…the disgrace is evident at the highest level…devils taking taxpayers money
Accoss the Miles lets have a reasonable debate here. During the cross talk , leacock said talk about the devil his imp appeared. If Ralph was not called a devil as you said, then why the word imp appeared could be said or ascribed to be Ralph. This is not logically consistent. Your logic failed for a lack of consistency.
