Excerpt: ...of that sort unless it were put into proper repair." "It is, I believe, in reality a fine old place, and the grounds are beautiful," said Mr. Hartrick. "A few thousand pounds would put it into order, and we could furnish it from Dublin. You could have a great many guests there, and-" "But what about the O'Shanaghgans themselves?"
