along the narrow corridor
The text "Along the narrow dark corridor" is an excerpt from "A portrait of the artist as a young man" which was written by James Joyce in 1916. This excerpt is about a young boy, named Stephen Dedalus. He is a pupil at Clongowes Wood College, a Jesuit boarding school. During the Latin lesson the teacher, Father Arnall, is very angry after giving out the theme-books because they are all "scandalous". After saying that he wants a pupil to decline the noun mare, the pupil tries to, but he can’t decline the plural of this noun. Father Arnall asks lots of other pupils till Fleming has his turn.
