News About Malachy
  • Mr. Downes says that Malachy McCourt is gone
    pure mad with the drink, that he squanders his
    wages in pubs all over Coventry, that he sings
    Irish rebel songs which the English dont mind
    because theyre used to the way the Irish carry
    on about the hundreds of years of suffering, but
    they wont put up with any man that stands up in
    a pub and insults the King and Queen of England,
    their two lovely daughters and the Queen Mother
    herself. Insulting the Queen Mother is going
    beyond the beyonds.

News About Malachy
  • What did she ever do to anyone, that poor old
    lady? Time after time Malachy drinks away his
    rent money and winds up sleeping in parks when
    the landlord throws him out. Hes a regular
    disgrace, so he is, and Mr. Downes is glad
    McCourt is not a Limerickman bringing shame to
    this ancient city. The magistrates in Coventry
    are losing their patience and if Malachy McCourt
    doesnt stop the bloody nonsense hell be kicked
    out of the country entirely. (231)
  • Is this a surprise?

The Dispensary
  • Franks Reaction
  • We follow her to Kathleen OConnells shop to
    get tea and bread and a few sods of turf for the
    fire. We climb the stairs to Italy and get the
    fire going and its cozy when we have our tea.
    Were all very quiet, even the baby Alphie,
    because we know what Mr. Kane did to our mother.
