[The response of Paddy O’Connell, of Glendalough, County Wicklow, to his friend, Henry Gastonard of the Maison du bon Tabac at Paris.]
Glendalough, County Wicklow, May 18th, 1905.
Dear Henry,—Your letter is received. I gather therefrom two facts:—1. That you are making a fool of yourself in Paris. 2. That this occupation is congenial to you and the lady of the circus, upon whom you appear to have bestowed your patronage.—Believe me to be, My dear Henry,
Yours sincerely, Paddy O’Connell.
