Sherlock Holmes

A certain Cormac McCarthy, called the Strong, a descendant of the ancient kings of Munster and builder of this castle, chanced one day to save an old woman from drowning.

With her gratitude, she offered Cormac a golden tongue, which would have the power to influence men and women, friends and foes, as he willed.

She told him to mount the battle and kiss a certain stone in the wall five feet below the gallery running around the top.

He followed her directions and obtained all the fluent persuasiveness she had promised.

And I suppose the story spread and the Blarney Stone has been a magnet to pilgrims ever since.

Yes, a pleasant legend.

Holmes.

Yes, old chap?

Tomorrow's St.

Patrick's Day.

I bet there'll be quite a bit of excitement in the village tonight.

Don't you think it'd be rather fun to pay a visit to one of the local inns?

Splendid idea, old chap.

Our rather arduous work here in Ireland is concluded, and I think we're more than entitled to a little gaiety.

Quite charming.

A waiter and singing at his word.

Singing very well, too.

Just the same.

I wish someone would come and take an order.

Ah, there's a barmaid.
