MP3 Audio CD. Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. I GREAT-UNCLE McCARTHY A Resident Magistracy in Ireland is not an easy thing to come by nowadays; neither is it a very attractive job; yet on the evening when I first propounded the idea to the young lady who had recently consented to become Mrs. Sinclair Yeates, it seemed glittering with possibilities. There was, on that occasion, a sunset, and a string band playing "The Gondoliers," and there was also an ingenuous belief in the omnipotence of a godfather of Philippa's--(Philippa was the young lady)--who had once been a member of the Government. I was then climbing the steep ascent of the Captains towards my Majority. I have no fault to find with Philippa's godfather; he did all and more than even Philippa had expected; nevertheless, I had attained to the dignity of mud major, and had spent a good deal on postage stamps, and on railway fares to interview people of influence, before I found myself in the hotel at Skebawn, opening long… Read More

MP3 Audio CD. Written by two female Irish writers, Edith Sommerville and Violet Florence Martin, Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. is an extremely droll and interesting depiction of late 19th century Ireland. Filled with humorous remarks and situations, the book offers a pleasant pastime even to those reading it today, more than a century later. An overall fun and agreeable book, this set of stories is the first of a collection of three books written by the same authors ? Further Experiences of an Irish R.M. and In Mr. Knox?s Country ? the stage being set well before the Republic of Ireland became separate from Great Britain. We are presented with the story of Major Sinclair Yates, an ex-British Officer recently appointed Resident Magistrate (R.M.) and stationed in his new post in Ireland.
