"I am afraid you went to almost the worst part of Ireland," says Mona, shaking her head. "New Pallas, and all round Limerick, is so dreadfully disloyal."

And truly it is a very desirable garden, and well worth a visit. It is like a thought from another age. "You used to be tremendous friends there at one time," says Geoffrey; "never out of the house." A moment later a big bull jumped high over the wall of the piskun and came toward her, and now truly she was frightened. "Well, neither should I!" says Mrs. Geoffrey, with conviction. "I should perfectly have hated it. But I should never have forgiven myself if he had gone away with the will.".
