Tis true, tis true, and I think it a credit to Mr. Whittemore the he created, let us say, an "Irish Irish" character (as oposed to the characters of Joyce who are necessarily Irish by the locality of the story) without resorting to patronizing appeals for sympathy, unceasing annecdotal speech, excessive (note, excessive) quotations of poetry and other accouterments of the "Irish character" stock and trade. So cheers to Mr. Whittemore and thank you for your very warm welcome! Siochan leat! (peace be with you)
