"O, how do you do, Mrs Breen?
-
No use complaining. How is Molly those times? Haven’t
seen her for ages.

In the pink, Mr Bloom said gaily, Milly has a position
down in Mullingar, you know.
-
Go away! Isn’t that grand for her?
-
Yes, in a photographer’s there. Getting on like a house on
fire. How are all your charges?
-
All on the baker’s list, Mrs Breen said. How many has
she? No other in sight.
-
Youre in black I see. You have no…
-
No, Mr Bloom said. I have just come from a funeral. Going
to crop up all day, I forsee. Who’s dead, when and what did he doe of? Turn up
like a bad penny."
