Goodness knows I had to when the old colonel used to go hanging around those English barmaids at the 'Cock and Hen. Be a little blind, girl that's what nine wives out of ten have to be every day and every night and all the world over." "Will that make my husband any better?" I asked. "I don't say it will," said Aunt Bridget. "It will make you better, though.
If they had any souls they diverted them with coarse "amours" among barmaids and the women of the streets; they were simply awful. Sexual vice is even coarser and more loathsome in Ireland than it is in England: "'Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. "When I tried to talk they broke into my thought with stupid gibes and jokes. Their highest idea of humour was an obscene story.
Glasses were knocked over. Whiskies and sodas were poured out in libations upon the carpet. The protests of the barmaids were unheeded or unheard. Julian whirled Cuckoo into the throng, and Valentine, snapping his long white fingers like castanets, stamped his feet as if to the measure of a wild music.
Men flirting with barmaids in the bars may have considered themselves lucky dogs, but whisky played an important part in their exhilaration. The belated train came rushing in with an effusion of steam, like a late arrival puffing out apologies, bringing a large number of passengers back to London from Penzance.
Down one side, on wooden forms, was seated a row of flashily-dressed girls larrikin-esses on their native heath, barmaids from cheap, disreputable hotels, shop girls, factory girls all sharp-faced and pert, young in years, but old in knowledge of evil. The demon of mischief peeped out of their quick-moving, restless eyes.
I did not know Betty then, and have regretted all my life that once I looked upon her as well, as a barmaid. While I thoroughly realized that she was an unusual girl in many respects, still I held to a theory then prevalent that barmaids were created to be kissed.
"At the hotels I chuck all the barmaids under the chin, and pretend I'm a dog of a fellow for the sake of this part!" Conscientious, dear, delightful Alec! No one ever deserved success more than he did and used it better when it came, as the history of the St. James's Theater under his management proves. He had the good luck to marry a wife who was clever as well as charming, and could help him.
In her exhaustless passion for philanthropy, bazaars, and platforms, she had already dealt with orphans, the aged, the blind, potter's asthma, crèches, churches, chapels, schools, economic cookery, the smoke-nuisance, country holidays, Christmas puddings and blankets, healthy musical entertainments, and barmaids.
I hope you did not tell the barmaids your real name." "Well, I suppose I should not criticise people that I know nothing about," said Mrs. Madison, colouring and serious. She changed the subject hastily. "Jack, I hope you will stay this afternoon. It would be the greatest comfort to have you in the house." "I will stay, certainly," said Emory.
One humiliation had succeeded another the false smiles of the market sellers, the curvetings and oglings of the barmaids with whom his father flirted, the compliments and encouraging words of his father's friends. They had told him that he had a great look of his grandfather and Mr Dedalus had agreed that he was an ugly likeness.
