Madame Markewicz is high in the councils of both Sinn Fein and Labor. One day, lost in one of her trance-like meditations in which she states her intuitions with absolute disregard of expediency, she said to me: "Labor will swamp Sinn Fein." "Reconquest of Ireland," By James Connolly. Maunsel and Company. 1917. It was very dark. I could not find the number.
On the opposite side of the street were blocked similar squads of serious-eyed, high-chinned girls. Some of them were in green tweed suits, and others as they had come from work. They were companies of the Citizens' Army recruited by the Irish Labor party, and assembled in honor of the return of the Countess Markewicz from jail.
Up on the platform was the throne of the Lord Mayor, in front of which sat the delegates Frank Walsh, Edward F. Dunne, and Michael Ryan. In a roped-off semi-circle below the platform were deep upholstered chairs wherein rested the members of the Irish parliament. Countess Markewicz was, of course, the only woman there.
While the confab was on, the Countess Markewicz slipped from Mr. Walsh's car to our paling. She was, as usual, dressed in a "prepared" style. She had on her green tweed suit with biscuits in the pockets, "so if anything happened." Countess Markewicz, rubbing her hands: "Excellent propaganda! Excellent propaganda!" The motor lorries chugged. Soldiers broke line, and climbed in.
