And would not have headed the delegation to London
That’s what he thought that they thought that they wanted him to think when he read that sign
You’d think the fact Dev looked an awful lot like Alan Rickman would make Collins a bit suspicious of him, but here we are.

I do wonder if he killed himself?
Everyone told him not to go to Cork, his situation must have been very depressing when you think about it.

When I was a kid I used to genuinely think that ancient towns or villages had an anointed “battlefield”, sort of like a football ground, whose specific purpose was for armies to duel eachother for sovereignty over the town safely away from civilians and buildings.
