1. Molly Bloom is in bed at night and she is thinking.
2. Starting from the time (hour) she thinks of: Chinese people, Chinese people's typical hairstyle, nuns, nuns' s sleep, the alarmclock, flowers, the wallpaper in lombard street, the apron her husband gave her, the lamp, Lambers, flowers again, Fridays, the dust, the keys of the piano, rose and cakes, Liptons, the smell of a rich big shop, the cherries in them, the pinky sugar,a plant for the middle of the table, flowers again, roses, nature, wild mountains, the sea, the waves, the country with fields and oats, the cattle, rivers, lakes, flowers, primroses, violets, people who says there's no God, her past when she was in the Howth head, her grey tweed suit and his straw head, the proposal of marriage, the seedcake, leapyear, time, the kiss, flowers, the sun, the reason because she liked him , the Mulvey, Mr Stanhope, Hester, the father, old capatain groves, the sailors playing, the pier, the sentry in front of the governors house, the white helmet, Spanish girls, their shawls, their combs, the auctions, the Greeks, the Jews, the Arabs, Duke street, the fowl market, the poor donkeys, the big heels of the carts of the bulls, the old caste, the handsome Moors, Ronda, the old windows of the posadas, the wineshops, the castanets, a night at Algerieas, the watchman, his lamp, the deepdown torrent, the sea (sometimes crimson), the sunsets, the figtrees in the Alameda garden, the little street, the pink and blue and yellow houses, the rosegardens, the jassamine, the geranius, the cactuses, Gibraltar, her past, when she said yes.
4. I think the final "yes I said yes I will yes" is her answer to Leopold's proposal of marriage.
