I have a yarn or two on the subject of drink which may be appropriately related here. Old David Burus, the steward at Ardrum, County Cork, was a great character who had got inextricably confused between the Council of Trent and the Trant family in the vicinity, and no amount of explanation could ever enlighten him. Directly he had begun to be jovial, he used to say:
Reverting to David Burus: on one occasion I remonstrated with him on the amount of whisky he drank. 'I did drink a great deal of whisky, and I would have drunk more. was his reply, 'if I had known it was going to be as dear as it is now. He evidently regretted not having thoroughly saturated himself with alcohol. It was the only way in which he could have possibly increased his consumption.
