If you were wondering about Lady Rose’s illness, she suffered from botulism poisoning after eating potatoes that had gone bad. The effects of botulism include muscle paralysis and can last for several months.
Also, to translate a few of the Irish Gaelic terms used in this book, a chara means “my friend”; a chroí, “my heart”; a mhuírnín, “my darling”; and a ghrá, “my love.” Cailín is a young girl, and céilí is a celebration, with dancing.
