ST. PATRICK'S COLLEGE, DUBLIN
They left Dublin after seeing everything of interest there. They left in a drizzling rain in Marjorie's big white motor car. It had been brought to them from the flying field to Dublin. It seemed to John that things were always being brought to Marjorie in a magical way. And why not? Marjorie was a fairy! Now they motored to the Vale of Avoca.
This is the beautiful woodland spot where Tom Moore, the Irish poet, wrote much of his poetry.
THE COUNTRY OF TOM MOORE
His famous words are:
"There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet
As the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet."
