EXILES
As with *APOTAAAYM* and *Dubliners*, the edition I have used
is *The Essential James Joyce*, the 1973 Penguin reprint of Jonathan
Cape's edition of 1948. Apart from unimportant corrections, the main
'errors' are as follows:
Act 1.
'BRIGID (*points to the easychair*): Sit down and I' tell the
Master ....'. I don't think this is a characteristic Brigid locution.
I have written 'I'll'.
'BEATRICE: We are first cousins. Is it not strange that we were often
together.'. Either a questionmark is missing, or 'Is it' should be 'It
is'. I have chosen the latter.
Act 2.
'BERTHA (*quietly*): You mean because others have been there?'. Surely
'here' rather than 'there'.
'BERTHA (*sits down helplessly*): But this is cruel to you, Robert.'.
I have read this as 'of you'.
Act 3.
'RICHARD (*calmly*): I thank you for kind article about me.'. I have
put 'your' between 'for' and 'kind'.
It's fortunate that Joyce's reputation does not rest on
*Exiles . . .
