Old Man River

"Hey, you know that awkward-euro ginger kid that works at OVT?" "Yeah, that's Old Man River!"

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue?
