From the moment that the Redmondite Party had imposed their conditions on the Committee of the Irish Volunteers the vast bulk of the Volunteers who were not also "Mollies" were thoroughly dissatisfied with the arrangement.
It was frankly out for jobs, preferments and patronage of all kinds, so that even the dirty crew of place-hunting lawyers which Dublin Castle had plentifully spoon-fed for over a century became its leaders and gospellers, seeing that through it alone could they carve their way to those goodly plums that maketh easy the path of the unctuous crawlers in life the creed of the Mollies, and it gained them followers galore, being that nobody who was not a member of "the Ancient Order" was eligible for even the meanest public office in the gift of the Government or the elected of the people.
Such things were sometimes hard to bear and often grievously did Miss Mathilda feel herself a rebel with the cheerful Lizzies, the melancholy Mollies, the rough old Katies and the stupid Sallies. Miss Mathilda had other troubles too, with the good Anna.
In fact, it was Ashok who introduced me to the amazing world of aquarium fish way back when I was just nine and studying in Class V. Under his guidance then, I experimented with breeding guppies, platties and mollies, fairly simple types of fish to breed.
Why can't you make friends in your own set? There is Hubert Evans and the Langford boys." "Evans!" snorted Harry, with contempt; "beastly snob, and the Langfords are regular Mollies!"

Sally looked nonplussed, then shrieked: "Why, the pallbearers, of course!" The silly phrase caught. Thereafter, those who were acknowledged to be all right enough but not of their feather were known as "pallbearers." The Keiths were live Mollies.
Jenkins, looking wistfully at the sovereign, which was a great sum of money to a sexton's wife with children, then instantly going on with her dusting; "but it ain't no use tryin' of tricks with our parson. HE ain't one of your Mollies. A man as don't play no tricks with hisself, as I heerd a gentleman say, it ain't no use tryin' no tricks with HIM." Almost while she spoke, the curate entered.
I have never since been in a noisy, quarrelsome crowd, that I did not think of the Mollies and the krang. I must not forget the green-eyed monster which had so startled me.
