his friends to entertain them like the night he walked
home with a dog if you please that might have been mad
especially Simon Dedalus son his father such a criticiser

with his glasses up with his tall hat on him at the cricket
match and a great big hole in his sock one thing laughing
at the other and his son that got all those prizes for
whatever he won them in the intermediate imagine

trousers as if the one nature gave wasnt enough for
anybody hawking him down into the dirty old kitchen
now is he right in his head I ask pity it wasnt washing day
my old pair of drawers might have been hanging up too
on the line on exhibition for all hed ever care with the
ironmould mark the stupid old bundle burned on them he
might think was something else and she never even
rendered down the fat I told her and now shes going such
as she was on account of her paralysed husband getting
worse theres always something wrong with them disease
or they have to go under an operation or if its not that its
drink and he beats her Ill have to hunt around again for
someone every day I get up theres some new thing on
sweet God sweet God well when Im stretched out dead in
