But this, including as it does, one of the most important events of my life, I reserve for another chapter. "What is that place called, Sergeant?" "Bunratty Castle, sir," "Where do we breakfast?" "At Clare Island, sir." "March away, boys!" For a week after my arrival at Kilrush, my life was one of the most dreary monotony.
There was a good deal of correspondence going on at the time between Pulwick and Bunratty, if I remember aright, and you heard all about Adrian's divers attempts to land in England, about his fight with the King's men, his crack on the head and final impressment. At least you heard as much as we could gather ourselves. Adrian is not what one would call a garrulous person at the best of times.
This surrender had, however, determined the resolution of the city of Limerick, which hitherto had taken no part in the war, to open its gates to the Confederates. The loss of Bunratty was more than compensated by the gaining of one of the finest and strongest towns in Munster, and to Limerick accordingly the Nuncio paid the compliment of his first visit.

The lordships of Leyny and Corran, in Sligo and Mayo, were recovered by the heirs of their former chiefs, while the powerful family of O'Conor Sligo converted that strong town into a formidable centre of operations. Rindown, Athlone, Roscommon, and Bunratty, all frontier posts fortified by the Normans, were in 1342, as we learn from the Remonstrance of Kilkenny, in the hands of the elder race.
No doubt Mr Grimes was personally an advocate for the return of Mr Vavasor, and would do all in his power to prevent the re-election of the young Lord Kilfenora, whose father, the Marquis of Bunratty, had scattered that six thousand pounds among the electors and non-electors of Chelsea; but his main object was that money should be spent.
But, in truth, he was afraid of seeing her without speaking of her money, and afraid to see her if he were to speak of it. "You have seen the Globe?" someone said to him as he entered the club. "No, indeed; I have seen nothing." "Bunratty died in Ireland this morning. I suppose you'll be up for the Chelsea districts?" Parliament Meets
"Well; them Bunratty people; it is they as has come next. They know which side their bread is likely to be buttered; they do. They're a bidding for the 'Handsome Man' already; they are." "And you'd let your house to the Tory party, Grimes!" said Mr Scruby, in a tone in which disgust and anger were blended. "Who said anything of my letting my house to the Tory party, Mr Scruby?
This has been a pleasant ride, but my old bones are so tired, and you and yours have set them jogging so much of late, that I think I'll never want to stir a foot again once I get back to Bunratty ... except indeed to come and be godmother to the heir." Having lent a dutiful arm up the stairs to his now beaming relative, Sir Adrian came down pensively and entered the library.
While so waiting, they besieged and took Bunratty castle already referred to but Sir Kenelm Digby did not arrive with May, and they now learned, to their renewed amazement, that Glamorgan's whole negotiation was disclaimed by the King in England.
