She made notes of their crude, fantastic speech, little suspecting that age and custom would lend much of it such a patina that such a horrendous phrase as "go the whole hog" would be used, in 1949, by a descendant of the Duke of Marlborough, addressing the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons...
