What the Old Women Saw
“The greatest thing I ever saw was O’Connell driving through Gort, very plain, and an oiled cap on him, and having only one horse; and there was no house in Gort without his picture in it.” “O’Connell rode up Crow Lane and to Church Street on a single horse, and he stopped there and took a view of Gort.” “I saw O’Connell after he left Gort going on the road to Kinvara, and seven horses in the coach—they could not get in the eighth. He stopped, and he was talking to Hickman that was with me. Shiel was in the coach along with him.”
