Historical
They thought they had killed him – on the same winter night his friend
Sam McAllister had been shot dead on the hillside of Derrynamuck –
they had chased Michael and seen a trail of his blood in the snow. Oh
yes, the young rebel captain was dead and gone, and would cause no
further trouble to them – the hated militia who raped and burned
houses at will and treated the people of Wicklow like some dirt that
kept getting under their boots. Desperate for his protection from the militia’s brutality, only the people
refused to believe that Michael Dwyer was dead. To them he was like a
prince – `aye, a prince, same as a king’s son’ – and if Michael had been
killed, all his friends would have been in mourning, but they were not.
Too many times they had seen the small, secret smiles of Michael’s
friends when the militia gloated over his death. And then there was Mary – his beautiful Mary who had adored him –
why was she not looking in any way heart-broken? Why was she just
carrying on with her life as normal? No, the people concluded, Michael was not dead – injured maybe, a
whole lot of bullets had flown towards him that night at Derrynamuck –
but he had been dodging bullets for years and not one had ever
reached him. No, only the stupid militia would believe that Michael had
been defeated – the whole dumb pack of them.
