“Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition”

Heartbreaking. My poor mother.

The old josser reminds of those frozen soul moments as a kid when stranger danger became a sudden concrete slap in the face. Joyce doing what he does best, hinting at this guys malevolence or is he just creepily nice? Some shit you’d experience high af skipping school with your friends.

“We bought some biscuits and chocolates which we ate sedulously as we wandered through the squalid streets… We could find no dairy and so we went into a hucksters shop and a bought a bottle of raspberry lemonade each… We had to be home before 4 o clock lest our adventure should be discovered”

To be a kid man.

Joyce is a sneaky guy man, always hinting.

Reading this in an Irish accent is so fun. Feel like a Derry girl.
