Quote #10

It was a picture of Alfred T. Slipper standing at a darkened window. His hands were behind his back and Dolores was on his shoulder, and Alfred was looking out the window and saying, "I am alone in the world, Dolores, and I am homesick for my own kind." (51.34)

Flora feels the same way as Slipper, which is funny, because she's only used his story in the past to tell us what it's like for an unlikely superhero such as Ulysses. Here, we see that she's lonely and wants company, but not just any company. She wants people to actually get her for who she is.
