THE WOMAN IN THE BIG HAT by Baroness Orczy 2 XI. SIR JEREMIAH'S WILL XII. THE END LADY MOLLY OF SCOTLAND YARD I THE NINESCORE MYSTERY WELL, you know, some say she is the daughter of a duke, others that she was born in the gutter, and that the handle has been soldered on to her name in order to give her style and influence. I could say a lot, of course, but "my lips are sealed," as the poets say. All through her successful career at the Yard she honoured me with her friendship and confidence, but when she took me in partnership, as it were, she made me promise that I would never breathe a word of her private life, and this I swore on my Bible oath--"wish I may die," and all the rest of it. Yes, we always called her "my lady," from the moment that she was put at the head of our section; and the chief called her "Lady Molly" in our presence. We of the Female Department are dreadfully snubbed by the men, though don't tell me that women have not ten times as much intuition as the blundering and sterner sex; my firm belief is that we shouldn't have half so many undetected crimes if some of the so-called mysteries were put to the test of feminine investigation.

  • Casement in Kerry a Revolutionary Journey
    Casement in Kerry: A Revolutionary Journey Helen O’Carroll Introduction Marking the centenary of the Easter Rising in 1916 this major exhibition at Kerry County Museum in 2016 makes an important contribution to the national commemoration. It takes visitors on a series of revolutionary journeys: Roger Casement’s path from servant of the Crown to Irish nationalist that led to the gallows in Pentonville Prison; the road to independence for Ireland with the first stepping stone of the Easter Rising; and the experience of the Kerry people whose lives were transformed by the events of 1916. The exhibition was officially opened by President Michael D. Higgins on April 21, 2016. Casement the collector There are over 60 objects in the exhibition illustrating different aspects of Casement’s life. His experiences in the Congo and the Putumayo are crucial to understanding the development of his views on British imperialism and a number of objects that he collected in both regions are on display in the exhibition. During the course of his official work he collected many objects, some of which he sent back to relatives in Magherintemple in County Antrim and also to the National Museum of Ireland. He was also deeply interested in and curious about other cultures and he collected ethnographic material in Africa and South America relating to the daily lives of the people there. In the exhibition, therefore, we are displaying rubber baskets used by the exploited people of the Congo in the forced extraction of rubber, alongside a dramatic throwing knife from the Upper Congo, as well as drum beaters from the Putumayo region of South America.
