The question of an oath!

Carey Collins—Go down on your b------ knees without any more d-----d fuss swear allegiance to King George and his heirs. : Faker Fitzgerald—"Don't listen to Devalera [sic]. I could tell you a lot about great great grandmother and Spanish gold. : The Bishop—Take any other oath that will get you out of your difficulties. : Comic Cosgrave—It was an awful joke talking about freedom, you know.
