The hooligan who bonnets a policeman is apparently the victim of a sudden impulse. In reality, however, the bonneting is due to weeks of daily encounters with the constable, at each of which meetings the dislike for his helmet and the idea of smashing it in grow a little larger, till finally they blossom into the deed itself. This was what happened in Mike's case.
The mob that had been dispersed from Westminster broke up into different parties and proceeded to expend its fury in the destruction of buildings. The hustling of peers, the bonneting of bishops, the insulting of members of Parliament, all made rare sport; but the demolition of Catholic places of worship promised a better, and suggested exquisite possibilities of further depredation.
‘Why, to a first-rate bonnet, as I think you would prove, I could afford to give from forty to fifty shillings a week.’ ‘Is it possible?’ said I. ‘Good wages, ain’t they?’ said the man. ‘First-rate,’ said I; ‘bonneting is more profitable than reviewing.’ ‘Anan?’ said the man. ‘Or translating; I don’t think the Armenian would have paid me at that rate for translating his Esop.’
