Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

In Anthony Trollope's *Ralph the Heir*, Ontario Moggs addresses his followers in "the large front parlour of the Cheshire Cheese," amid clattering glasses, smashed pipes, and radical speechmaking. ([gutenberg.org](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/25579/pg25579-images.html)) Here the Cheshire Cheese is not a refined dining room but a democratic, smoky forum where politics becomes performance. That use suits the real house's long literary and journalistic associations off Fleet Street. The second sentence is an inference from Trollope's scene and the pub's documented history.
