FURTHER EXPERIENCES OF AN IRISH R.M.
I THE PUG-NOSED FOX
II A ROYAL COMMAND
III POISSON D'AVRIL
IV "THE MAN THAT CAME TO BUY APPLES"
V A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
VI THE BOAT'S SHARE
A freshly appointed deputy magistrate finds himself thrust into the bustling world of an Irish country hunt, a role he accepted more out of patriotic enthusiasm than practical sense. The narrative follows his bemused attempts to juggle hunting caps, red coats and the relentless chatter of local gentry, all while trying to keep his sense of duty intact. Along the way he encounters a cast of colourful characters—scheming landowners, outspoken cooks and a loyal friend named Flurry—each offering a vivid glimpse of rural life with a wry, affectionate humor.
The story captures the everyday absurdities of small‑town governance: endless paperwork, spirited debates over a single fox, and the ever‑present pressure to appease both superiors and neighbours. As the magistrate navigates his new responsibilities, he learns that sincerity, quick wit, and a willingness to laugh at himself are often the best tools for surviving—and even enjoying—the quirks of Irish community life.
