The last episode is written in the form of an
interior monologue but
lacking any
punctuation or traditional sentence structure.
Her thoughts wander from her youth to her affairs with Blazes Boylan
but at the end, recalling her first encounter with Bloom, she confirms
her love to him with:
'I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and
then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first
I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my
breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said
yes I will Yes'
