"Then ask in the morning: was I drunk last night?" (U13.965)
"Bad policy however to fault the husband. Chickens come home to roost." (U13.966)
"They stick by one another like glue. Maybe the women's fault also. That's where Molly can knock spots off them. It's the blood of the south. Moorish. Also the form, the figure. Hands felt for the opulent" (U13.967)
"Just compare for instance those others. Wife locked up at home, skeleton in the cupboard. Allow me to introduce my. Then they trot you out some kind of a nondescript, wouldn't know what to call her. Always see a fellow's weak point in his wife." (U13.970)
"Still there's destiny in it, falling in love. Have their own secrets between them. Chaps that would go to the dogs if some woman didn't take them in hand. Then little chits of girls, height of a shilling in coppers, with little hubbies." (U13.973)
"As God made them He matched them. Sometimes children turn out well enough. Twice nought makes one." (U13.976)
"Or old rich chap of seventy and blushing bride. Marry in May and repent in December. This wet is very unpleasant. Stuck. Well the foreskin is not back. Better detach.
Ow!" (U13.977)
Ow!" (U13.977)
"Other hand a sixfooter with a wifey up to his watchpocket." (U13.982)
"Long and the short of it. Big he and little she." (U13.982)
"Very strange about my watch. Wristwatches are always going wrong. Wonder is there any magnetic influence between the person because that was about the time he. Yes, I suppose, at once." (U13.983)
"Cat's away the mice will play. I remember looking in Pill lane. Also that now is magnetism. Back of everything magnetism. Earth for instance pulling this and being pulled. That causes movement. And time? Well that's the time the movement takes. Then if one thing stopped the whole ghesabo would stop bit by bit. Because it's all arranged." (U13.986)
"Magnetic needle tells you what's going on in the sun, the stars. Little piece of steel iron. When you hold out the fork. Come. Come. Tip. Woman and man that is. Fork and steel. Molly, he. Dress up and look and suggest and let you see and see more and defy you if you're a man to see that and, like a sneeze coming, legs, look, look and if you have any guts in you. Tips. Have to let fly." (U13.990)
"Wonder how is she feeling in that region. Shame all put on before third person." (U13.997)
"More put out about a hole in her stocking." (U13.998)

The first Dublin Horse Show was organized in 1864 by the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, under the auspices of the RDS; it had 366 entries with a total prize fund of £520. It was mainly a show of led-horses, with some 'leaping' demonstrations. Ass and mule classes were listed! In 1868 the RDS itself organized the show, on the Lawns of Leinster House. In 1869 'horse leaping' came to prominence. In 1870 the event was renamed 'The National Horse Show'. In 1881 the site was moved from Leinster Lawn to Ballsbridge. This PC (photo by Lafayette) shows 'Judging' at the DHS of 1904.
