Notes |
- "My grand aunt Kate and my uncle Joe were politically very conscious as well as very religious. My aunt had been an active anti-Parnellite. She was reputed to have shown up at one of the Parnell meetings with a hatchet under her cloak and had been dissuaded from throwing it at the platform by her very gentle husband.
"Aunt Kate was a formidable woman. She was almost the exact opposite of her sister, my gentle grandmother. She spoke with very precise diction and had an air of authority and decision. She fully approved of the rebellion, having lost faith in the Irish Party. Once my uncle remarked to me in his mild voice and kindly manner that, despite evrything, Parnell was a good man. In her most level tone, putting the matter beyond dispute or further discussion, Aunt Kate said 'Sir, Parnell was not a good man, he was a thoroughly bad man.' I was frozen by the intensity of her feeling and had no difficulty in resisting the temptation to ask about the truth of the hatchet story."
'Dublin Made Me' by C.S. (Todd) Andrews, p.93
When Walter Cousins was to first meet his in-laws, he drove Irene to Longford in the sidecar of his motorcycle. Irene asked her mother what she thought of Walter. "Isn't he very small, Irene?"
