OBS

tory: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la voz "tory" es un extranjerismo crudo, por lo que su plural se forma según las reglas de su idioma: "tories", y no la forma híbrida "torys". Por la misma razón, tanto el singular como el plural se escriben en cursiva o entre comillas si no se dispone de ese tipo de letra.

The moment a statesman-i. e., a representative of the existing social order-is struck down, all the bourgeois parties, from "advanced" Radical to hide-bound Tory, hug each other and vie with each other in shrieking vilification on the one side and slobbery adulation on the other.

CONT

He was a zealous constituency member, though his private opinion of the social habits of some of his supporters might have been considered unduly severe by the most hide-bound Tory.

CONT

And it is noteworthy that the hidebound Tory was a staunch supporter of self-determination for the peoples of India, Ireland, and North America. This was not a break with conservatism; Burke simply felt that the same respect for liberty, as well as local tradition and custom, due British aristocracy was also due these peoples.
