The land was moory and rocky, with nothing grand about it, and the miller described it well when he said it was tir gwael mean land. In about a quarter of an hour we came to the churchyard into which we got, the gate being locked, by clambering over the wall. The church stands low down the descent, not far distant from the sea.
Still, it came to an end at last. The door on one side was wrenched open; she was pulled out rather unceremoniously; then, the pinioned Bertie, who was handed over to a guard; and the soldier escort after him, who took his place promptly by his side. Vivie had just time to note the ugly red-brick exterior of the main building of the Tir National.
I am sure she and Michael then crossed the road and passed on to the building of the Tir National; entered it and stood for a moment in the verandah from which Vivie had seen Bertie Adams executed; and passed on over the tussocky grass to the graves of Bertie Adams and Edith Cavell, where they did silent homage to the dead.
