Duinnín i Lios Dúin Bhearna (tuilleadh)

Dineen in Lisdoonvarna (continued)
  • “Níl… ‘

    Bhí Mrs. Hudson ag faire amach don Dr. Bhatson agus don Duinníneach agus d’fháiltigh sí rompu le geallúint go mbeadh muifíní don tae.

    ”Bhfuil sé féin istigh?’ arsa Watson.

    “Tá. Agus é chomh sásta lena bhfaca tú riamh, ag ól a phíopa os comhair na tine agus ag gáiri ó am go chéile.’

    ‘Caithfidh gur aimsigh sé tuairisc bháis George Tavistock, mar sin,’ arsa an Duinníneach. ‘Agus san aige, ba leor, mar mhéar eolais dó, gur iarras air é.”

Just like two years ago, our objective was St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. It continues to thrive. We were able to talk to some people we knew from of old. Mia and I were members there for 20 years. It is one of the key places that made us who we are. Though the buildings are very different, our present parish, St. Clement’s Episcopal Church in St. Paul, feels very much like St. Luke’s and we instantly felt at home there when we first walked into it on Maundy Thursday of 2019.
