Abstract
During Oedipa Maas's first evening at Echo Courts motel, where she meets with lawyer Metzger, On doorsill, we read, the Paranoids, as we leave milk to propitiate leprechaun, had set a fifth of Jack Daniels (40). J. Kerry Grant's Companion to The Crying of Lot 49 notes, While Irish folklore is replete with tales involving propitiation of leprechauns, I have been unable to find any specific reference to leaving of milk for that purpose (41). Grant has an ally of sorts in Irish innkeeper, Tatie (J. M. Kerrigan), in film The Luck of Irish, who informs and admonishes visiting American freelancer, Stephen Fitzgerald (Tyrone Power). When Fitzgerald returns downstairs from his room to retrieve some forgotten items, he observes Tatie taking a bottle from bar and quietly, and somewhat drunkenly, placing it outside front door.
