24、第 24 章 ...
-
another woman hoped that a gentleman would not be hard on a poor person. Something in this annoyed him; it wasn't a question of gentility and poverty--it was a question of two men. He determined to go back by Cadbury Rings where the shepherd牧羊人 would now be.
嗯，Stephen/F去找Flea/M算帐
He did. 。。"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," said Flea, and flung him on his back.被打败
"That's not fair," he protested.

"But this is a great relief to me. I thought the present day young man was an agnostic不可知论者! Isn't agnosticism all the thing at Cambridge?"
"Nothing is the 'thing' at Cambridge. If a few men are agnostic there, it is for some grave reason, not because they are irritated with the way the parson says his vowels."这话绝对像是M在说话
Agnes intervened. "Well, I side with Aunt Emily. I believe in ritual仪式."
"Don't, my dear, side with me. He will only say you have no sense of religion either."
然后有争议的两段出现了：
Ricky 说"Excuse me," said Rickie, perhaps he too was a little hungry,--"I never suggested such a thing. I never would suggest such a thing. Why cannot you
