“The Parnell Split assumed...”
The Parnell Split assumed very serious aspect in this parish of Tinryland. On one occasion a priest was threatened with a four graved fork at a meeting & the coffin of one "leader" ran unburried in the graveyard for a week. The curse wh. followed the Parnellites, at least the extreemest, was they had no sons, believe it or not . I don't imagine for a moment that the fact that many leading families had no male issue can be attributed to one's political views but as a folklorist I am simply recording what I heard et in medium reliquam with Tacitus of yore. The fact remains, however.
