Read the following excerpt from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by

shouting and the prefects urged them on with strong cries.

and thud of the footballers the greasy leather orb flew like
a heavy bird through the grey light. He kept on the fringe of
his line, out of sight of his prefect, out of the reach of the

small and weak amid the throng of the players and his
eyes were weak and watery. Rody Kickham was not like
that he would be captain of the third line all the fellows
said.
