Well, IŽll beg your pardon, but this is obviously and simply a printing error - and IŽve confirm it - in my version of this story (in The Essential James Joyce, Penguin Books, 1963, p.426) that sentence reads:
"He allowed himself to think that in certain circumstances he would rob his bank but, as these circumstances never arose, his life rolled out evenly - an adventureless tale."
