YES
BECAUSE
HE NEVER
DID A THlNG
LIKE THAT BEFORE AS ASK
to get
his breakfast
in bed with a coupIe of eggs since
the City
Arms
hotel
when
he used to
be
pretending
to be Iaid up with
a sick
voice doing
his highness
to make
himself
interesting to
that oId faggot
Mrs Riordan that
he thought
he had a great
Ieg of and
she never Ieft
us a farthing
alI for masses
for herself
and her souI greatest miser ever
was
actuaIIy
afraid to Iay out
4d for her methyIated spiri
t teIIing me aII her ailments she
had
too much
old chat in her about politics and
earthquakes
and the end of the world let us have a
bit of Iun first God
help the world if alI the women were her
sort down on barhingsuits
and lownecks of course rìobody
wanted her to wear I
suppose she
was pious because no man would look at her twice
I hope Ill never be like her a wonder
she didnt want us to cover
our faces but she was a weIIeducated woman
certainly
and her gabby talk about Mr Riordan
here and Mr Riordan
there I suppose he was glad to get shut
of her and her dog
smeIIing my fur and
andalways
edging to get up under my petticoats
especiaIIy then stilI I like that in him poli te
to
old women
like
that and waiters and beggars too hes not proud out
of
nothing
but not always if ever he got anything reaIIy
serious
the
matter with him its much better for them go into a
hospital
where
everything is clean
but I suppose Id have
to dring
it
into
him
for a month yes
and then wed have a hospital nurse
next
thing on the carpet have
him staying
there tilI they throw
him
out or a nun maybe like the smutty photo he has shes
as
much
a nun as Im not yes because theyre so weak and puling
when
theyre sick they want a woman to get weII if his
nose
bleeds
youd think it was O tragic and that dyinglooking
one
off
the south circular
when he sprained his foot at
the choir
party
at the sugarloaf Mountain
the day
I
wore that
dress
Miss
Stack
bringing him flowers the worst old ones she could
find
at
the bottom of the basket
anything at aII to get into a mans
bedroom
with her old maids voice trying to imagine he was
dying
on account of her to never see thy face again though
hc
looked
more like a man with his beard a bit grown in
the
bed
father
was the same
besides
I
hate bandaging and dosing
when
he
cut
his toe with
the
razor
paring
his corns afraid
hed
gct
blood
poisoning
but if
it
was
a thing I was sick then wed
sec
what
attention only of course the woman hides it not to
give
aII
the trouble they do yes he carne somewhere Im sure by
his
appetite
anyway love its not or hed be off his feed thinking
of
her so either it was one of those night women if it was
[738]
down
there
he
was real1y
and the hotel story he
made
up a (72J)
pack
of
lies to hide it planning it Hynes kept me who
did
I meet
ah yes I met
do you remember Menton and who else
who
let
me
see that
big babbyface I saw him and he not long
married
flirting
with
a
young girl
at
PooIes Myriorama and turned
my
back on him when he slinked out looking
quite conscious
what
harm
but he had the impudence....
to
make up to me
one lime
weII done to him mouth almighty and his boiled eyes
of
aIl
the
big stupoes I ever met and thats called a solicitor only
for
I hate having a 
alI
men get
a
bit like that at his age especialIy getting on to forty he is now
so as to wheedle
any money she can out of him no fool like
an oId fooI
and
then the usual
kissing
my bottom was
to
hide
it not that I care two straws who he does it with or knew
before
that way though Id like to find out so long
as
I dont
bave
the two of them under my nose aII the time Iike that
slut
that
Mary we had in Ontario tenace padding
out
her
false
bottom
to excite him bad enough to get
the
smell
of those
painted
women off him once or twice I had a
suspicion
by getting
him to come near me when I found the long
hair
on his
coat without that
one when
I went
into the kitchen pretending
he was 
drinking water
l
woman
is
not
enough
for
them it was alI his fault of course
ruining
servants
then proposing
that
she couId eat
at our tabIe
on Christmas
if you
please
O no thank you not in my house steaIing my potatoes
and
the oysters 2/6 per doz going
out to see her aunt
if you please
common robbery so it was but I was sure he had something
on with that one it takes
me
to find out a thing like
that
he
said
you have no proof
it was
her proof O yes her
aunt
was
very
fond of oysters
but I told her what I thought of
her
suggesting
me to go out to bealone
with her I wouIdnt lower
myself
to spy
on them
the garters
I found
in her room the Friday
she
was
out that was
enough
for
me
a Iittle
bit
too
much
I saw
too
that her
face
sweIIed
up on her with temper
when
I
gave
her
her
wceks notice better
do without
them
altogether
do
out.... (pag.739
