Mama, you are not helping.
-
But when I saw them tear it down,
-
standing there with their children,
-
all of them in tears watching their home burn,
-
I was sorry. I admit it.
-
I don't want their type to govern Ireland,
-
I want a free state,
-
but I was sorry.
-
Never mind that. What's happened to Sybil?
-
We agreed that I should leave at once
-
and that she'd close the flat and follow.
-
I got the last boat so she won't be here before tomorrow.
