"Our pet pupil of the whole rythmetic class." "Nora was always at pains to point out to the children that she and they were of no interest to people, that they were only interested in 'Himself.'"

22. "Mr. Joyce is waiting for me in the dining room as I am now his self appointed volunteer secretary. The large table is littered with notes and books of reference, with encyclopedias. All the lights are burning brightly although the room itself is light and sunny. Wearing an old white starched linen jacket, often stained with ink and sometimes with food, Babbo was so nearly sightless that even eating was not easy for him. He would rise to greet me as I entered. Nora would welcome me and then vanish into her own room. Lucia would wave to me on her way to a dancing class."

27 "that he found [her] pleasant to look at." " I felt happy," she wrote, creating a scene of sduction that was as replete with the machinations of fate as any Harlequin romance: "I blushed like a school-girl. It was a happy night and nothing except perhaps a slight excited tingle around the region of my heart warned me that this eveningw as to be a turning point inmy life... For all time [my fate] was to be inextricably woven with the destiny of the man I had met that night." 28. "Standing tall and straight and looking young and very beautiful, he fixed his dark blue eyes on mine with such intensity, I blushed and he began to sign a lovely old Italian song, "Amaryllis." I thought I had never heard anything more lovely in my life. All his young passionate soul rang out in the small room and stirred my senses and my heart. I knew, as his feather knew, that he was in love with me. Accustomed to having young men as well as men nearer my own age attracted to me, still I was deeplymoved. I gazed back with equal intensity into his lovely Irish eyes and a new phase of my life, unknown to me, had begun. When his fresh young baritone voice had faded away into the soft dark shadows of the room, the last poignant 'Amaryllis' had been sung with so much passion, I was inwardly rather embarrassed. It was surely obvious to everyone as to me, that Giorgio was very much interested in me. I applauded loudly and went up to him to thank him for his lovely song. He flushed and bowed in his comely and old fashioned, yet so charming way."

29. "perhaps the deus ex machine that was thens haping our ends." "It was," Helen admitted, "the old game that I loved. Buyt this boy was so young, so sweet. I did not want to hurt him. Loving him would only bring him pain. I hoped he would get over it butnot heartily or sincerely. I really liked his passionate adoration." 30. "the epitome of lovely young wifehood and womanhood, [with] great charm and wit."

"his wife, Lillian, was Canadian by birth I think [she was English] and I thought her very common. She spoke in a high pitched shrill voice with a short of cockney accent, her thin tense rather horselike face, her blonde stringy hair, her big teeth, her too thin body. I found not at all attractive. Perhaps there was a reason for the antagonism I felt toward her. Dear Lillian had been Giorgio's first romance. I think she seduced him but perhaps that is unkind. Certainly I never had any trouble getting away from her."

32. "[r]emember there are three people now. And I suppose it will be worse when there are four." 33. "Babbo has my unconscious Calvary immortalized in the part of Finnegans Wake known as "Anna Livia Plurabelle" and the washerwomengossiping by the river are indubitably Nora and some friends of hers, eagerly ripping me apart and washing their own dirty linen in the river while I (as Anna) swim happily and uncsciously downstream followed by..H.C. Earwicker. Babbo never told me and I stupidly never suspected that I was the heroine of this masterpiece of prose and that he as H.C.E. was trying to catch my slim young form which was chasing after Giorgio who in the book is the twin brothers...Dear Dirty Dublin is passionately in the manner of a middle-aged man feeling love and life slipping through his fingers, pursuing youth and beauty in the person of Anna." 34. If Joyce's art followed life, then the life of his son followed art. "Do as I write, not as I do." Ulysses was not only a fact in Giorgio's life; it was a script. He had found a precursor in Blazes Boylan, even if the parent who had created the jaunty adulterer was scandalized by his behavior. He had "vicereversed" his father's use of Lillian Wallace as one of the models for Molly Bloom.

Alec "was certainly never in love with Lucia," she wrote to Richard Ellman in 1959. He was "still in love with Hazel Guggenheim, with whom he had had an affair for about three years. I believe she had left him and returned to London, or started another one of her numerous affairs or marriages."

"Unfortunately," he told Harriet Weaver, "she seems to have antagonized a great number of people including her immediate relatives and as usual I am the fellow in the middle of the rain holding out both hands though whatever she is right in her blunt outspokenness or not is a question my head is too addled to answer."
