Summary
He had missed the light in these parts — so unlike England or Ireland or anywhere else. The grasses and trees, too, were familiar to him. This hillside could easily have been one which had exhaled its secrets to him in his adolescence: the private ways of the worms and salamanders, the timid rabbits and blind insects that writhed between rocks and under rotten wood.
A spying mission takes Stephen back home, prompting him to reflect on his past.

Summary
Stephen noted this pattern often in surly patients cured of a lingering pain: a miraculous improvement in temperament, earthly angels the morning after they damned him to hell. This did not bother him, of course. He was soothed at the reminder that man was a creature of circumstance, and that improvement of the spirit was tied to the improvement of the material conditions. In nature, in man, in society: where pain fermented, evils brewed.
What bothered him was the disproportionate gratitude towards him, personally. And it bothered him, too, that he could not wish this sailor a proper goodnight, because he did not remember the sailor's name.Stephen and Jack talk on a cold night during their first cruise on the Sophie.
