Quotation from: Dubliners

Written by: James Joyce

Mr. O'Connor, a grey-haired young man, whose face was
disfigured by many blotches and pimples, had just brought the
tobacco for a cigarette into a shapely cylinder but when spoken to
he undid his handiwork meditatively. Then he began to roll the
tobacco again meditatively and after a moment's thought decided
to lick the paper.

"Did Mr. Tierney say when he'd be back?" he asked in a sky
falsetto.
