"Come," said Art, "let us go; he may be richer, but there's the blood, and the honesty, and good name of the Maguires against his wealth " A gentle pressure on his arm, when he mentioned the word wealth, and he was silent. "My darlin' Margaret," said he, "oh how unworthy I am of you!" "Now," said she, "lave me to manage this business my own way.
Cows in Connacht have long horns. As much as his bloody life is worth to go down and address his tall talk to the assembled multitude in Shanagolden where he daren't show his nose with the Molly Maguires looking for him to let daylight through him for grabbing the holding of an evicted tenant. Hear, hear to that, says John Wyse. What will you have?
"Well, then, Art," said she, "where was the ould blood when you fell so low? If it was the ould blood that riz you up, remember it was the ould blood that put you down. You drank more whiskey," she added, "upon the head of the ould blood of Ireland, and the great Fermanagh Maguires, than you did on all other subjects put together.
This was a proof that their education had not been neglected. And why should it? Were they not the descendants of the great Maguires of Fermanagh? Why, the very consciousness of their blood was felt as a proud and unanswerable argument against ignorance. The best education, therefore, that could be procured by persons in their humble sphere of life, they received.

"Few men," he said, "would do it, an' may be, afther all, if I hadn't the ould blood in my veins if I wasn't one of the great Fermanagh Maguires, I would never a' done it."
"There are Maguires in Swineford, master," said old Turlough with a cunning, sidelong look. "I met them coming north," laughed Brian softly. "They will prove good men to avoid, so I think that we shall ride around that burg." Brian thought that he could get through the Maguires, but he intended to take no chances.
It is not surprising that he views the liberating work of the I.A.O.S. with the bitterest hostility an hostility which has been translated into effective action by the Nationalist Party in Parliament. His successor, Mr. T.W. Russell, lost his seat in the General Election of 1910, but he was retained in power since he was willing to lend himself to the destructive intrigues of the "Molly Maguires."
"The courage of the Sinn Feiners atoned for much of their folly in the mind of those who realized that their spirit was not pro-German, but, in the main, a revolt against the conversion of Dublin Castle into a Redmondite Tammany Hall. Their uprising was the answer to the corruption, jobbery, and judge-mongering of the Molly Maguires masquerading in the vestments of religion.
During this time he posed as a fugitive from justice and as a counterfeiter, became a member of the Order, a confidant of the Molly Maguires, and collected evidence.
