Almost done with Constance Markievicz Irish Revolutionary by Anne Haverty.

Seamus O’Connor, a Sinn Féiner wrote that the AOH supporters kept up a barrage of shouting and throwing stones, potatoes and eggs (which they were buying at sixpence each) at the speakers’. He described how the Countess Markievicz, in a trench coat, having been hit several times with potatoes and eggs exclaimed, ‘in what to me was her peculiar accent, “I care no more for your stones than I cared for the bullets of Easter Week.”’

What an interesting life some people get to live.

I think this was a well done introduction.

I had the displeasure of encountering this yesterday. Some libs were using it as a proof that everyone despite of their political position opposes Marudo in Venezuela.
