Quotation from: Dubliners

Written by: James Joyce


"Why, what was wonderful about Johnny?" asked Mr. Browne.


"The late lamented Patrick Morkan, our grandfather, that is,"
explained Gabriel, "commonly known in his later years as the old
gentleman, was a glue-boiler."


"O, now, Gabriel," said Aunt Kate, laughing, "he had a starch
mill."


"Well, glue or starch," said Gabriel, "the old gentleman had a horse
by the name of Johnny. And Johnny used to work in the old
gentleman's mill, walking round and round in order to drive the
mill. That was all very well; but now comes the tragic part about
Johnny. One fine day the old gentleman thought he'd like to drive
out with the quality to a military review in the park."
