Cast 99. Page 609, line 58.
like that slut that Mary we had in Ontario terrace 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

Episode 18. The final chapter. It is Molly Bloom’s interior monologue as she lies in bed. A long, uninterrupted flow of words without periods or commas, divided into eight large sentences. This passage comes from near the beginning of the first of those.
Molly is recalling the times when Bloom was involved with other women. Mary refers to Mary Driscoll, the maid who had been in the Bloom household. In Episode 15, she is summoned in the hallucinatory trial scene to testify against Bloom.
There is not much to analyze in detail this time, so instead I have marked on a map of Dublin the places where Bloom is known, in the novel, to have lived.
