DUBLIN BY LAMPLIGHT
 
        The name of this laundry gives the implication that this
        business is set up by Protestant missioners in order to
        keep poor girls off the streets.
 
        Originally this story focused upon the character of the
        father (Joyce's thinly fictionalized Uncle William), but
        he changed it to focus upon his distant relative Maria,
        instead.

                          clear?
