Look out.

Oh, there you are, Mr. Bartell.
Mr. Bartell, don't you think it's about time you began to refer to them as the dogs?
They're almost a year old, you know.
Well, they had another furious battle with a dead seal on the beach today.
My housekeeper, Mrs. West, is giving them a much-needed bath.
Yes, my boy, and as yesterday was St.
Patrick's Day, I decided to tell you a story that took place in Ireland a few years before the turn of the century.
I imagine that you've heard of kissing the Blarney Stone, haven't you?
Well, let me explain it to you, because the ceremony plays a very important part in the story tonight.
Blarney Castle is an imposing 15th century ruin a few miles outside the town of Cork.
The castle is many stories high, and in the foremost tower, the famous Blarney Stone is situated.
What's supposed to be the point in kissing it, Doctor?
The stone is considered a powerful talisman, and the legend runs that whoever kisses it is endowed with eloquence for life.
I'm afraid I've never had quite enough courage.
Courage?
Why does it need courage, Doctor?
Because the Blarney Stone is set in a most inaccessible position on the outside wall.
To kiss it, it is customary to lower the candidate for eloquence over the rampart, head foremost, with a friend hanging on to his heels.
