' CHAPTER XII PRIESTS I HAVE been asked, since my friends became aware that I am perpetrating my reminiscences, whether I was going to write anything supplemental to Mr. MacCarthy's Priests and People^ and Five Tears in Ireland. My reply was : ' Certainly not. ' To begin with, I have many friends among Roman Catholics, and plenty of cheery acquaintances among the priests. Secondly, the state of feud and hostility on which Mr. MacCarthy dilates is more likely to be found in Ulster and Leinster t...han in Kerry, where the Roman Catholics form more than nine-tenths of the population. On one occasion, when a distinguished Englishman was staying at Killarney House, I told him that he should go to the north to see the strangest sight in the world two races hating one another for the love of God. It is not my business to estimate what would happen in Kerry if a few thousand rabid Orangemen were plumped down among the present inhabitants ; but according to existing circumstances creeds are not torn to tatters nor religion dis- figured by strife and slander.
