Death of a Pilgrim
“Macroom was still the same small Irish town as all the other small Irish towns he had known when he was growing up. The main square was there with the tall spire of the Protestant church and the grocer and bookmaker with bars attached. The shops were selling the same stuff they had sold when he was growing up all those years before. There was a drunk lolling against the wall of the pub on South Street. There had always been a drunk somewhere about the town. The children still trooped off to the... Christian Brothers and the convent for a proper education in the pieties of Irish life. The wall of the demesne ran along one side of the square. Through the ornamental gate with the one-legged lion, wounded by an inebriated young revolutionary in some earlier uprising, the road snaked its way through the woods past the lake to Macroom Castle, home, he presumed, to one Jonathan Henry Osborne. And to his wife, Mary Rose Osborne, née Lennox. Johnny knew he would have to ask somebody as casually as he could if they still lived there.MoreLess
