The sons of the spendthrift amateur, Lord Mornington, were reserved to rule India, and lead the armies of Europe; while the son of Flood's colleague in the Reform convention of 1783, was destined to give law to Christendom, at the Congress of Vienna. A career very different in all respects from those just mentioned, closed in the second year of Dublin's widowhood as a metropolis.
Dublin's a fine place, and if you have a mind to take a ride thither and see the town for a month, here are twenty guineas at your service. Make Quin an apology, and be off. 'A man of honour, Mr. Fagan, says I, 'dies, but never apologises. I'll see the Captain hanged before I apologise. 'Then there's nothing for it but a meeting.
Through the cutting sleet we bent our way to Dublin's largest factory a plant where 1,000 girls are employed at what are the best woman's wages in Dublin, $4.50 to $10 a week. "You gotta be pretty brassy to ask for work here," said the little girl. "Everybody wants to work here. But you can't get anything unless you're b-brassy, can you?"
Martin, I mean to thank you, as I ought to have done long ago, for your kindness in offering to procure for me the Archbishop of Dublin's valuable opinion upon my 'Prometheus. I am sure that if you have not thought me very ungrateful, you must be very indulgent.

After an interval Mr Dedalus raised his grog and That must have been highly diverting, said he. I see. He see. He drank. With faraway mourning mountain eye. Set down his glass. He looked towards the saloon door.

The vocal muse. Dublin's prime favourite. Lenehan gave a loud cough. Ahem! he said very softly. O, for a fresh of breath air! I caught a cold in the park. The gate was open. The editor laid a nervous hand on Stephen's shoulder. I want you to write something for me, he said. Something with a bite in it. You can do it. I see it in your face. In the lexicon of youth ... See it in your face.
Dublin's proportion of those who live more than two to a room is higher than that of any other city in the British Isles London has 16.8; Edinburgh, 31.1; Dublin, 37.9. In one-room homes tuberculosis breeds fast.
