We entered, and by sheer smiles on his part and some blarney heaped upon a floor-manager, secured a turkey, sweet potatoes, peas, beans, a salad, a strip of bacon, a ham, plum pudding, a basket of luscious fruit and I know not what else provender, I am sure, for a dozen meals.
A "light railway," of the sort authorised by the Act of 1883, takes you out quickly enough to Blarney, and the train was well filled.
