Ireland Under Coercion (2nd ed.) (1 of 2) (1888)

CHAPTER I
21/40

But to the ordinary brogue of the street and the stage, it is as is a Brane Mouton Rothschild of 1868 to the casual Medoc of a Parisian restaurant.

"Do you know Father Healy ?" said one of the company to whom I spoke of it; "he was at a wedding with Sir Michael.

As the happy pair drove off under the usual shower of rice and old slippers, Sir Michael said to the Father, 'How I wish I had something to throw after her!' 'Ah, throw your brogue after her,' replied the Father." This brogue comes to Sir Michael lawfully enough.

He belongs to one of the fourteen tribes of Galway.

His father, Mr.Martin Morris, was High Sheriff of the County of Galway City in 1841, being the first Catholic who had served that office since the time of Tyrconnel.
