"I'm optimistic the weather will hold. Do you still want to go to Blarney?"

"Indeed. If not I can always return to Hanovarian Britian thanks to The Lord Roberts."

According to Mrs. Fennell her offering is best understood through the lens of a fourteen year old girl. Or rather a fourteen year old girl's expierence of the novel.

Mind you, the Methodist undertones are oft neglected from the novel.

"Did you meet the Communard last week in Kerry?"

Yeah, some solid Christology tomorrow rather than the usual... "Daz transfigures your whites."
