"Lily, anak perempuan penjaga, benar-benar lari. Dia nyaris tidak membawa seorang pria ke dapur kecil di belakang kantor di lantai dasar dan membantunya pergi dengan mantelnya, daripada bel pintu yang berdenging berdentang lagi dan dia harus berlari cepat di sepanjang lorong terbuka untuk membiarkan tamu lain masuk. Itu baik untuknya dia tidak harus menghadiri untuk wanita juga."

--- James Joyce

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Lily, the caretaker's daughter, was literally run off her feet. Hardly had she brought one gentleman into the little pantry behind the office on the ground floor and helped him off with his overcoat, than the wheezy hall-door bell clanged again and she had to scamper along the bare hallway to let in another guest. It was well for her she had not to attend to the ladies also.
