It looked to him as if the only possible Irish Government under this scheme must be Unionist in its complexion. Perhaps there was an echo of this in Redmond's speech, by far the greatest he made in the Convention, when at last he intervened on January 4th the Friday which ended that session. He dealt at once with Mr.
Mr Redmond's fervid message from America also was as plain a welcome to the new movement for genuine national unity as words could express. But "the fly was in the ointment nevertheless." The vital declaration of the objects of the Irish Reform Association was contained in the following passage:
On one point Redmond's representations, heartily backed by General Parsons, were successful. Catholic chaplains, of whom no adequate number were at first provided for Irish troops, were secured. It is pleasant to note that Lord Roberts, who before the war had been vehement on the Ulster side, used his personal influence to support this application.
They allowed the War Office to increase the arrogance of the Ulstermen and to weaken Redmond's hand, giving Ulster special privileges, which inevitably created jealousy and suspicion in Nationalist Ireland as shall be shown in detail. But first it is necessary to indicate the other element of hostility far more serious than that of Ulster, because it challenged Redmond's leadership.
His was not the magnetism which constrains allegiance almost in despite of reason the power which was possessed by his first and only leader, Parnell. Redmond's appeal was to men's judgment and convictions, not to those instincts which lie deepest and most potent in the heart of man. That was the limitation to his greatness. He could lead only by convincing men that he was right.
For the space of a half-minute Yorke stared apprehensively at the swirling eddy, beneath which the other had vanished. The line still remained taut. Then he gave a gasp of relief, as Redmond's head re-appeared, and that young gentleman swam to the side. Extending a hand, the senior constable lugged his comrade to terra firma. "That's good!" he ejaculated fervently. "D n the fish, anyway!
But it was inevitable that the element who distrusted Redmond, and whose distrust he reciprocated, should attain an influence out of all proportion to its following in the country. Government's action and this sentence will run like a refrain through the rest of this book contributed largely to strengthen the extremists and to weaken Redmond's hold on the people.
She is dead, and I am here." I rose and walked to the window, and looked out on the misty sea, and felt strangely. "Another lover," I thought, "and Redmond's friend, and Laura's. But it all belongs to the comedy we play." He came to where I stood. "I know you so well," he said, "your pride, your self-control, even your foibles: but they attract one, too.
Yet Redmond's attitude, and the attitude of the House, was considerably affected by an unusual speech which had been delivered by the Ulster leader. Sir Edward Carson, as everyone knows, is not an Ulsterman, and the chief of many advantages which Ulster gained from his advocacy was that Ulster's case was never stated to Great Britain as Ulstermen themselves would have stated it.
Prince Daimur fearing that they might alarm the witch, ascended the steps, and holding up his hand begged them to remember that their safe deliverance lay in making no noise, but getting away as quickly as they could. Then he instructed them to follow the Princess Maya, who led them all around to the end of the Magician's house, where in the little bay lay Prince Redmond's ship, safely moored.
