Sensitive Quote by Irish Writer
““If there was one thing that he hated most about more than another it was the way she had of waking him in the morning. She did it on purpose, of course. It was her way of establishing her grievance for the day, and he was not going to let her know how successful it was. But really, to wake a sensitive person like that was positively dangerous! It took him hours to get over it – simply hours.””
