“Now, we must remember that the use of pseudonyms for clandestine purposes is very Irish. In fact, you might say we invented the practice. One is reminded of the patriot, Robert Emmett, who went by the name of ‘the Drake.’ He was hung, drawn, and quartered. In more recent times, Bobby Sands was both, ‘the Lark,’ and for his writings, he went by ‘Marcella.’ He died on hunger strike in 1981, of course.”
