William Humble, earl of Dudley, and lady Dudley, accompanied by lieutenantcolonel Heseltine, drove out after luncheon from the viceregal lodge. In the following carriage were the honourable Mrs Paget, Miss de Courcy and the honourable Gerald Ward A. D. C. in attendance.

The cavalcade passed out by the lower gate of Phoenix park saluted by obsequious policemen and proceeded past Kingsbridge along the northern quays. The viceroy was most cordially greeted on his way through the metropolis. At Bloody bridge Mr Thomas Kernan beyond the river greeted him vainly from afar. . . .
[L]ord Dudley's viceregal carriages passed and were unsaluted by Mr Dudley White, B. L., M. A. . . .
Richie Goulding . . .
saw him with surprise. . . .
[A]t the doorstep of the office of Reuben J Dodd, solicitor, . . . ,
an elderly female . . . smiled credulously on the representative of His Majesty. From its sluice in Wood quay wall under Tom Devan's office Poddle river hung out in fealty a tongue of liquid sewage. Above the crossblind of the Ormond hotel, gold by bronze, Miss Kennedy's head by Miss Douce's head watched and admired. On Ormond quay Mr Simon Dedalus . . .
stood still in midstreet and brought his hat low. His Excellency graciously returned Mr Dedalus' greeting. From Cahill's corner the reverend Hugh C. Love, M. A., made obeisance unperceived, mindful of lords deputies whose hands benignant had held of yore rich advowsons. On Grattan bridge Lenehan and M'Coy, taking leave of each other, watched the carriages go by. . . .
Gerty MacDowell . . .
knew by the style it was the lord and lady lieutenant but she couldn't see what Her Excellency had on. . . .
John Wyse Nolan smiled with unseen coldness towards the lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of Ireland. . . .
Over against Dame gate Tom Rochford and Nosey Flynn watched the approach of the cavalcade. Tom Rochford, seeing the eyes of lady Dudley fixed on him, took his thumbs quickly out of the pockets of his claret waistcoat and doffed his cap to her. A charming soubrette, great Marie Kendall, with dauby cheeks and lifted skirt smiled daubily from her poster upon William Humble, earl of Dudley, and upon lieutenantcolonel H. G. Heseltine, and also upon the honourable Gerald Ward A. D. C. From the window of the D. B. C. Buck Mulligan gaily, and Haines gravely, gazed down on the viceregal equipage over the shoulders of eager guests, whose mass of forms darkened the chessboard whereon John Howard Parnell looked intently. . . .
Dilly Dedalus, training her sight upward from Chardenal's first French primer, saw sunshades spanned and wheelspokes spinning in the glare. John Henry Menton . . .
stared from winebig oyster eyes. . . .
Where the foreleg of King Billy's horse pawed the air Mrs Breen plucked her hastening husband back from under the hoofs of the outriders. She shouted in his ear the tidings. Understanding, he shifted his tomes to his left breast and saluted the second carriage. The honourable Gerald Ward A. D. C., agreeably surprised, made haste to reply. . . .
Opposite Pigott's music warerooms Mr Denis J Maginni, professor of dancing &c, gaily apparelled, gravely walked, outpassed by a viceroy and unobserved. By the provost's wall came jauntily Blazes Boylan, stepping in tan shoes and socks with skyblue clocks to the refrain of My girl's a Yorkshire girl. Blazes Boylan presented to the leaders' skyblue frontlets and high action a skyblue tie, a widebrimmed straw hat at a rakish angle and a suit of indigo serge. His hands in his jacket pockets forgot to salute but he offered to the three ladies the bold admiration of his eyes and the red flower between his lips. . . .
Striding past Finn's hotel Cashel Boyle O'Connor Fitzmaurice Tisdall Farrell stared through a fierce eyeglass across the carriages at the head of Mr M. E. Solomons in the window of the Austro-Hungarian viceconsulate. . . .
[B]y Trinity's postern a loyal king's man, Hornblower, touched his tallyho cap. As the glossy horses pranced by Merrion square Master Patrick Aloysius Dignam, waiting, saw salutes being given to the gent with the topper and raised also his new black cap with fingers greased by porksteak paper. His collar too sprang up. . . .
In Lower Mount street a pedestrian in a brown macintosh, eating dry bread, passed swiftly and unscathed across the viceroy's path. . . .
At Haddington road corner two sanded women halted themselves, an umbrella and a bag in which eleven cockles rolled to view with wonder the lord mayor and lady mayoress without his golden chain. On Northumberland and Lansdowne roads His Excellency acknowledged punctually salutes from rare male walkers, the salute of two small schoolboys . . .
and the salute of Almidano Artifoni's sturdy trousers swallowed by a closing door. (U 10:1176-1282)

Stephen watching this young priest and Emma together usually worked
himself into a state of unsettled rage. It was not so much that he
suffered personally as that the spectacle seemed to him typical of
Irish ineffectualness. Often he felt his fingers itch. Father Moran's
eyes were so clear and tender-looking, Emma stood to his gaze in such
a poise of bold careless pride of the flesh that Stephen longed to
precipitate the two into each other's arms and shock the room even
though he knew the pain this impersonal generosity would cause
himself. Emma allowed him to see her home several times but she did
not seem to have reserved herself for him. The youth was piqued at
this for above all things he hated to be compared with others and, had
it not been that her body seemed so compact of pleasure, he would have
preferred to have been ignominiously left behind Her loud forced
manners shocked him at first until his mind had thoroughly mastered
the stupidity of hers. She criticised the Miss Daniels very sharply,
assuming, much to Stephen's discomfort, an identical temper in him.
She coquetted with knowledge, asking Stephen could he not persuade the
President of his College to admit women to the college. Stephen told
her to apply to McCann who was the champion of women. She laughed at
this and said with genuine dismay "Well, honestly, isn't he a
dreadful-looking artist?" She treated femininely everything that young
men are supposed to regard as serious but she made polite exception
for Stephen himself and for the Gaelic Revival. She asked him wasn't
he reading a paper and what was it on. She would give anything to go
and hear him: she was awfully fond of the theatre herself and a gypsy
woman had once read her hand and told her she would be an actress. She
had been three times to the pantomime and asked Stephen what he liked
best in pantomime. Stephen said he liked a good clown but she said
that she preferred ballets. Then she wanted to know did he go out much
to dances and pressed him to join an Irish dancing-class of which she
was a member. Her eyes had begun to imitate the expression of Father
Moran's -- an expression of tender significance when the conversation
was at the lowest level of banality. Often as he walked beside her
Stephen wondered how she had employed her time since he had last seen
her and he congratulated himself that he had caught an impression of
her when she was at her finest moment. In his heart he deplored the
change in her for he would have liked nothing so well as an adventure
with her now but he felt that even that warm ample body could hardly
compensate him for her distressing pertness and middle-class
affectations. In the centre of her attitude towards him he thought he
discerned a point of defiant illwill and he thought he understood the
cause of it. He had swept the moment into his memory, the figure and
the landscape into his treasure-room, and conjuring with all three had
brought forth some pages of sorry verse. One rainy night when the
streets were too bad for walking she took the Rathmines tram at the
Pillar and as she held down her hand to him from the step, thanking
him for his kindness and wishing him good-night, that episode of their
childhood seemed to magnetise the minds of both at the same instant.
The change of circumstances had reversed their positions, giving her
the upper hand. He took her hand caressingly, caressing one after
another the three lines on the a back of her kid glove and numbering
her knuckles, caressing also his own past towards which this
inconsistent hater of [antiquity] inheritances was always lenient.
They smiled at each other; and again in the centre of her amiableness
he discerned a [centre] point of illwill and he suspected that by her
code of honour she was obliged to insist on the forbearance of the
male and to despise him for forbearing. (pp. 60-68)

"The Exile of James Joyce"
by Michael Patrick Gillespie
Professor of English
Florida International University
at The Roger Smith Hotel
501 Lexington Ave. at 47th Street
New York City
Thursday, 22 April 2010
at 6:00 PM
at the Roger Smith Hotel
Lexington Ave at 47th St
New York City

"The Exile of James Joyce" suggests that both nostalgia and rancor
operate throughout Joyce's canon, and it focuses attention on Dubliners
to show that previous readings while effectively showing the anger Joyce
felt at the Dublin he left behind have not given sufficient attention to
his attachment to Ireland.
