- Joyce's letter to Harriet Shaw Weaver of 15 November 1926: "Miss Vanhomrigh and Miss Johnson had the same christian name"
- Esther: eponymous character in the Biblical Book of Esther; like Swift's Stella & Vanessa, she is the subject of an older man's advances
- sisters → cf. FW 096.11 ff: "stuffstuff in the languish of flowers and feeling to find she was mushymushy, and wasn't that very both of them, the sauciscissters ... (peep!) ... (peepette!)"
