Rathcullen Arms. As the story begins, Darby is at the pub, Rathcullen Arms, spinning a tale about his capture of King Brian of Knocknasheega, king of the leprechauns, and how the wiley little king had out-witted him. Of course, Darby was usually found spinning tales at the pub, more often than he was caught working as Lord Fitzpatrick's caretaker.
