Quotation from: Ulysses

Written by: James Joyce

his face was familiar to me. But, leaving that for the moment, how much
did you part with, he queried, if I am not too inquisitive?


--Half a crown, Stephen responded. I daresay he needs it to sleep
somewhere.


--Needs! Mr Bloom ejaculated, professing not the least surprise at the
intelligence, I can quite credit the assertion and I guarantee he
invariably does. Everyone according to his needs or everyone according to
his deeds. But, talking about things in general, where, added he with a
smile, will you sleep yourself? Walking to Sandycove is out of the
question. And even supposing you did you won't get in after what occurred
at Westland Row station. Simply fag out there for nothing. I don't mean
to presume to dictate to you in the slightest degree but why did you
leave your father's house?
