Infamous Last Words:

Sir Andrew Agnew, 7th Baronet (1793–1849) was a Member of Parliament. He tried to pass laws to force people to strictly observe the Sabbath. He died of scarlet fever in Edinburgh.


On his deathbed he said to his nurse: “What! The doctor says I can’t get up? Well certainly I can! Here is the evidence and you can tell him so.... Oh, wait. Perhaps I should leave these pillows where they are. Yes, I know the Doctor would want me to keep the pillows just here.”
