But if you're going to print what I say in any paper I won't speak another word." "As a matter of fact," he said, "the wires are blocked. There's a man in the post office writing as hard as he can and handing one sheet after another across the counter as quick as he can write them. Nobody else can send anything." "Clithering, I expect." "Very likely. Seems to fancy himself a bit, whoever he is.
By the way, did we do much damage to your ship? The one Malcolmson hit with his cannon ball?" "I don't know," said Clithering. "I did not hear any details." "Because," I said, "if she is injured in any way But perhaps she was insured?" "I don't think men-of-war are insured." "Well, they ought to be. But if that one wasn't I'm sure we'd like to make good any damage we did.
It was not very easy to find food in the club, and the only surviving waiter was still undressing Clithering. But Bland is a good forager. He found two dressed crabs somewhere, and then came upon a game pie. I let him have the dressed crabs all to himself. He is a much younger man than I am and is a war correspondent. He ought to be able to digest anything.
We are determined to have a show of some sort. Your Government must therefore either agree to fight properly and not keep running away every time we get a shot in, or " "Yes," said Clithering, "go on." "I'm waiting," I said, "till Godfrey gets that written down. Have you finished, Godfrey? Very well.
Lady Moyne was bound to admit that all Irishmen outside Ulster are blackguards, and that the atmosphere of Dublin is poisonous. Clithering, on the other hand, was officially committed to an unqualified admiration for everything south of the Boyne. I do not think that Malcolmson appreciated his dialectic advantage. His mind was running on big guns rather than arguments.
"It's costing us nearly two millions a year to run the country, and if that's withdrawn you will go bankrupt." "What McNeice said," I replied, "was that you were to clear out, bag, baggage, soldiers, police, tax-collectors, and the whole " "Tax-collectors!" said Clithering. "I'm not sure " "Didn't your Prime Minister say he'd be glad to get rid of us?
I asked. "The situation the very difficult and distressing situation is this," said Clithering, "stated roughly it is this. The Government has proclaimed to-morrow's meeting." "That," I said, "is the pit into which I don't want to be offensive I'll say, your ox has fallen." "And the town is full of troops and police.
The Government I mean, of course, so far as Ulster is concerned, the late Government your Government must either conduct the war in a proper business-like way have you got that down, Godfrey?" "Do you mean," said Clithering, "that you want us ?" "I mean," I said, "that we have put our money into it. Conroy, in particular, has spent huge sums on cannons.
"I suppose," I said, "that you'll have to give up this meeting to-morrow." "I don't think so," said Conroy. "I've just been talking to Sir Samuel Clithering," I said, "and he thinks there'll be bloodshed if you don't." "I reckon he's right there. We're kind of out for that, aren't we?" "It won't be so pleasant," I said, "when it's your blood that's shed.
These women were mindful, perhaps, of the girl with the baby whom Clithering had seen shot. They realized, perhaps, the menace for husbands, lovers, and sons which lay in the guns of the black ironclad parading sluggishly before their eyes. Remembering and anticipating death, they hated the source of it with uncompromising bitterness.
