From the top of a castle?
It does sound dangerous, Doctor.
It was, my boy, so much so that in recent years, a great row of iron spikes was put around the parapet to prevent an accident.
Of course, at the time tonight's story took place, there was no such guard.
And I have a feeling that an accident did take place, Doctor.
Now, now, now, now, Mr. Bartell, let me tell you the story from the beginning.
Sherlock Holmes and I were staying in the city of Cork, where the great manager solved the singular affair which the local press had referred to as leprechaun murders.
A few days before our departure for England, we paid a visit to Blarney Castle.
I must confess that I had a certain desire to test the miraculous powers attributed to the Blarney Stone.
I very soon changed my mind, however, as Holmes and I stood there, high on the turrets of Blarney Castle, and watched a terrified initiate being hauled up by his ankles and yelling at the top of his voice.
I think I'm going to faint!
Great Scott, I had no idea that kissing the Blondie Stone was such a hazardous proceeding, huh?
It would seem that eloquence could be more easily obtained than by hanging suspended by one's ankles from a battlement with a hundred foot drop below and kissing a piece of stone.
Oh, I'll never do that again.
Oh, I'll never, never do that again.
I must say, I don't blame the fuller.
And yet, my dear chap, on our way over here, you've expressed a sneaking desire to kiss the stone yourself.
I'll be very happy to hold your ankles if you want to try the experiment.
No, no, thank you.
After witnessing the ceremony, I've changed my mind.
