Which two lines in the excerpt provide evidence that Stephen disapproves of his father's behavior in Cork? A Portrait of the Artist
as a Young Man
by James Joyce (excerpt)
On the evening of the day on which the property was sold Stephen followed his father meekly about the city from bar to bar. To the sellers in
the market, to the barmen and barmalds, to the
beggars who importuned him for Job Mr. Dedalus told the same tale-that he was an old
Corkonian, that he had been trying for thirty years to get rid of his Cork accent up in Dublin and that Peter in Pickackafax beside him was his eldest
son but that he was only a Dublin Jackeen.
They had set out early in the morning from Newcombe's coffee-house, where- Mr. Dedalus's cup had
rattled nolsily against Its saucer, and
Stephen had tried to cover that shameful sign of his father's drinking bout of the night before by moving his chair and coughing. One
humillation had succeeded another--the false smiles of the
market sellers, the curvetings and oglings of the barmalds with whom his father
flirted, the compliments and encouraging words of his father's frlends. They had told him that he had a great look of his grandfather and Mr.
Dedalus had agreed that he was an ugly likeness. They had unearthed traces of a Cork accent In his speech and made him admit that the Lee
was a much finer river than the Liffey.
