"I was a staunch Parnellite until the Divorce Court disclosures, and the grabbing of United Ireland shook my faith. I collected for the Parnell Testimonial, at St John's, from the bishop, priests, and my friends, £60. You can see in the Freeman of that time how I paid my mite (£5). I would now freely give £10 to depose him, and to stop fighting among families and people who were hitherto more united. The man must be possessed by a bad spirit who goes about sowing evil. He must see, unless blinded by pride, or something worse, that he must go, or Home Rule fall."
