It's on page 806 in my copy (the old Bantam edition). Also (and this is a bit off the topic), there's this sentence several lines later on the same page: "Maundy, Tributary, Whitstanly, Fibrilation, Factotum, Susquahana, Summer-fine day." When I reread it about a month ago, it reminded of Joyce's "All moanday, tearsday, wailsday, thumpsday, frightday, shatterday till the fear of the Law." This looks more like some allusion to Finnegans Wake and not the first/last sentence thing. Or maybe it was not done on purpose. --- In [email protected], jzitt@... wrote: > > For what it's worth (and I may have missed a post already mentioning this), I > believe there's a spot in the text where the line comes up again, and it does > have the doubled "to" in it.
