Stephen: It must have been hard to see the woman you loved courting all those other men
Herapath: oh yes but I was able to deal with it. I started doing opium.
Stephen: In my experience—WHICH IS TO SAY from books OF COURSE—that’s not very good for you. It can cause dependence and lessen the appetites.
Herapath: Well I did eat less but I didn’t have any virility problems if that’s what you mean.
Stephen: (making desperate eye contact with Patrick O’Brian and doing the ‘get me out of here’ scuba gesture)

'Now one more cup of coffee and I must attend to my calculus, nearly always a difficult subject.'
'So you have suddenly taken to the calculus?' cried Jack. 'How very glad I am - amazed - quite stunned. By just calculus I take it you mean the differential rather than the infinitesimal? If I can be of any help...'
'You are very good, my dear,' said Stephen, putting down his cup and rising, 'but I mean the vesical calculus, no more: what is commonly known as a stone in the bladder, the utmost reach of my mathematics. I must be away.'
'Oh,' said Jack, feeling oddly dashed.
