“They clerks,officials] would mill about the forecourt, stoat-like, strutting their little authority.” Stoat? Had to look that one up. A stoat is like an ermine, in the weasel family. Appropriate in that Lady Margaret Gessel had sold out her home & land,as “...the way to pacify Ireland is to give it back to the Irish, field by field, farm by farm.” The “stoat-like” officials were there to auction her goods.
