Soon the ' whoa' in the peculiar accents of a Limerick city jarvey was heard, and a strange-looking man alighted from an apparently much-travelled sidecar and rung the door-bell. No less a person than Miss Frances Pakenham herself opened the heavy oaken door, and in complete surprise gave utterance to "Mr. Chapman, I am delighted to see you again," and the fair girl really appeared so. "Yes, Miss Pakenham, you see I am making rapid use of the extensive invitation I received, but, I hope I am not abusing it." "Oh, not at all, Mr. Chapman. I assure you you are welcome."

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
