101 Ulysses
wonder do they see anything that we cant staring like that
when she sits at the top of the stairs so long and listening as
I wait always what a robber too that lovely fresh place I
bought I think Ill get a bit of fish tomorrow or today is it Fri-
day yes I will with some blancmange with black currant jam
like long ago not those 2 lb pots of mixed plum and apple
from the London and Newcastle Williams and Woods goes
twice as far only for the bones I hate those eels cod yes Ill get
a nice piece of cod Im always getting enough for 3 forget-
ting anyway Im sick of that everlasting butchers meat from
Buckleys loin chops and leg beef and rib steak and scrag of
mutton and calfs pluck the very name is enough or a picnic
suppose we all gave 5/each and or let him pay it and invite
some other woman for him who Mrs Fleming and drove out
to the furry glen or the strawberry beds wed have him ex-
amining all the horses toenails first like he does with the
letters no not with Boylan there yes with some cold veal and
ham mixed sandwiches there are little houses down at the
bottom of the banks there on purpose but its as hot as blaz-

Mary Ann coalboxes out for the day Whit Monday is a
cursed day too no wonder that bee bit him better the seaside
but Id never again in this life get into a boat with him after
him at Bray telling the boatman he knew how to row if any-
one asked could he ride the steeplechase for the gold cup
hed say yes then it came on to get rough the old thing
crookeding about and the weight all down my side telling
me pull the right reins now pull the left and the tide all
swamping in floods in through the bottom and his oar slip-
