Look inside the book:

It's not ten minutes since the two of them were here, Bartley going home and Jack going to the Five Acre Meadow; and I had my apples to settle up, that Jo Muldoon of the police hadPg 10 scattered, and when I looked round again Jack Smith was gone, and Bartley Fallon was gone, and Mrs. ...Delane: And let me tell you, James Quirke, that I would sooner starve and see everyone belonging to me starve than to eat the size Pg 53 of a thimble of any joint that ever was on your rack or that ever will be on it, whatever the soldiers may eat that have no other thing to get, or the English that devour all sorts, or the poor ravenous people that's down by the sea!

About Lady Gregory, the Author:

Her home at Coole Park, County Galway, served as an important meeting place for leading Revival figures, and her early work as a member of the board of the Abbey was at least as important for the theatre's development as her creative writings. ...This entailed researching Irish history of the period, and one outcome of this work was a shift in her own position from the 'soft' Unionism of her earlier writing on Home Rule to a definite support of Irish nationalism and Republicanism and what she was later to describe as 'a dislike and distrust of England'.
