     But there is nothing malevolent in the Corkonian mode of levying toll upon old residents and new comers; […] priests with frowning faces, and queer-looking little boys with funny ones, and a miscellaneous lot of noisy patriots always going to shout and hear others shout at “the meeting,” are constant and prominent features in Corkonian life.

     Then every one was complaining about the high price of labor, and it was supposed that a Chinese “nurseman,” at two dollars and a half a month, would be a decided improvement over a French bonne with watery eyes and a Corkonian accent, and that a cook who could make at least tolerable dishes at four dollars a month would be better than one who charged seventy-five dollars for the privilege of spoiling provisions.

     I have no hesitation in saying that I would put first in this last generation among the Irishmen who remained in Ireland, and rendered great service to the National cause, two men, each typically Corkonian to the fingertips, with the gifts and qualities and virtues that mark them out among their fellows.

     Vivacious and versatile, beyond the average even of Irishmen, the Corkonians mingle raillery with their hospitality, and cut up cattle and human nature with a trenchant ease and constant energy, as if they had taken a government contract to victual the State with beef and satire, fresh jokes and pickled pork at the same time.

     Other men there were who did splendid work. But in each generation, in the last analysis, there is one who bears the palm; and Healy and Collins, each in his day and time, did work that will be remembered through many lives that are yet to come. Well may you, Corkonians, and your children, glory in the fellowship of such men!
