Summary
She could try to assemble these bits of knowledge into a father, but she would fail. It is like building a man out of spare parts: a lock of hair here, a patch of skin there. You can make a serviceable figure. It can walk around and sit and speak with you. But when you try to put its heart in, all you can find is a brick wall.
She went to England to see her father while he lived, in case the rebels killed him. She left thinking, I have seen all I will see of him, even if he lives another fifty years.
[28 July 1540. Five people who got on with their day, and one who didn’t.]

Summary
In between the events of Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and the beginning of "Ulysses", Stephen and Cranly apparently went to a horse race in Leopardstown. Here's my alternate version of that, in which Stephen definitely lied about the circumstances of their encounter.
