"I'll tell you all something," he says, "though I hardly think I ought, if you will swear not to betray me." But before they reach the hall door Geoffrey feels it his duty to bestow upon them a word or two of warning. "The shooting there is capital," says his mother, turning a deaf ear to his muttered interruption, "and I don't believe there is anything in Ireland, not even birds.".
