CHAPTER VIII.
While the father was resting quietly at Kildare Villa, as Uncle Gilbert's home was called, Chester and Lucy spent a few days in looking about.
"Are there any sights worth seeing around here?" asked Chester of Lucy.
"Are there?" she replied in surprise. "Did you ever hear of the Blarney Stone?"
Yes; he had.
"Well, that's not far away; and those were the Shandon bells you heard last evening,
'The bells of Shandon,
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee,'"
she quoted.
