<P> In the course of the monologue, Molly accepts Leopold into her bed, frets about his health, and then reminisces about their first meeting and about when she knew she was in love with him . The final words of Molly's reverie, and the very last words of the book, are: </P> <P> I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish Wall and I thought well as well him as another and then 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 . </P> <P> Joyce noted in a 1921 letter to Frank Budgen that "(t) he last word (human, all too human) is left to Penelope ." The episode both begins and ends with "yes," a word that Joyce described as "the female word" and that he said indicated "acquiescence, self - abandon, relaxation, the end of all resistance ." This last, clear "yes" stands in sharp contrast to her unintelligible first spoken line in the fourth chapter of the novel . </P> <P> Molly's soliloquy consists of eight enormous "sentences ." The concluding period following the final words of her reverie is one of only two punctuation marks in the chapter, the periods at the end of the fourth and eighth "sentences ." When written this episode contained the longest "sentence" in English literature, 4,391 words expressed by Molly Bloom (it was surpassed in 2001 by Jonathan Coe's The Rotters' Club). </P>
