"Just Irish" by Charles Battell Loomis is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book captures the author's experiences and observations during his travels through Ireland, weaving together humor and cultural insights as he interacts with locals and explores the landscape. The narrative is likely inspired by Loomis's own journeys, filled with descriptions of places, people, and the hospitality typical of the Irish, particularly focusing on the warmth and charm he encountered. The opening of "Just Irish" establishes the author's arrival in Ireland and his immediate impressions of Irish hospitality. Loomis introduces a group of American travelers, detailing their journey to a country house for afternoon tea after a long and tense arrival. Despite the initial challenges posed by damp weather and the uncertainty of their belongings, the group is met with such warmth and friendliness that their initial hesitations quickly dissipate. The chapter highlights the stark contrast between the expectations of the travelers and the reality of their welcoming experiences, setting a light-hearted tone for the adventures to unfold throughout the book.
