1. Telemachus

[58] We must go to Athens. Will you come if I can get the aunt to fork out

[88] —I was, Stephen said with energy and growing fear. Out here in the

[89] dark with a man I don’t know raving and moaning to himself about

[90] shooting a black panther. You saved men from drowning. I’m not a hero,

[91] however. If he stays on here I am off.

[115] ponton. Ah, Dedalus, the Greeks! I must teach you. You must read them

[134] asked you, Buck Mulligan said. I’m hyperborean as much as you. But to

[160] —Ah, poor dogsbody! he said in a kind voice. I must give you a shirt

[168] knows what poxy bowsy left them off. I have a lovely pair with a hair

[169] stripe, grey. You’ll look spiffing in them. I’m not joking, Kinch.

[172] —Thanks, Stephen said. I can’t wear them if they are grey.

[184] —That fellow I was with in the Ship last night, said Buck Mulligan,

[185] says you have g. p. i. He’s up in Dottyville with Connolly Norman.

[199] —I pinched it out of the skivvy’s room, Buck Mulligan said. It does

[220] Parried again. He fears the lancet of my art as I fear that of his. The

[226] jalap to Zulus or some bloody swindle or other. God, Kinch, if you and I

[232] —And to think of your having to beg from these swine. I’m the only

[235] I’ll bring down Seymour and we’ll give him a ragging worse than they

[239] they hold their ribs with laughter, one clasping another. O, I shall

[240] expire! Break the news to her gently, Aubrey! I shall die! With slit

[243] the tailor’s shears. A scared calf’s face gilded with marmalade. I

[255] —Then what is it? Buck Mulligan asked impatiently. Cough it up. I’m

[263] —Yes, what is it? Buck Mulligan answered. I don’t remember anything.

[271] —Do you remember the first day I went to your house after my

[276] —What? Where? I can’t remember anything. I remember only ideas and

[283] —Yes? Buck Mulligan said. What did I say? I forget.

[291] —Did I say that? he asked. Well? What harm is that?

[296] saw only your mother die. I see them pop off every day in the Mater and

[304] her last wish in death and yet you sulk with me because I don’t whinge

[305] like some hired mute from Lalouette’s. Absurd! I suppose I did say it.

[306] I didn’t mean to offend the memory of your mother.

[311] —I am not thinking of the offence to my mother.

[330] —I’m coming, Buck Mulligan answered.

[340] —Don’t mope over it all day, he said. I’m inconsequent. Give up

[358] song: I sang it alone in the house, holding down the long dark chords.

[360] I went to her bedside. She was crying in her wretched bed. For those

[370] I am the boy

[408] —I’m coming, Stephen said, turning.

[415] —I told him your symbol of Irish art. He says it’s very clever.

[416] Touch him for a quid, will you? A guinea, I mean.

[418] —I get paid this morning, Stephen said.

[438] forgotten, on the parapet. Why should I bring it down? Or leave it there

[443] So I carried the boat of incense then at Clongowes. I am another now and

[461] —Dedalus has it, Buck Mulligan said. Janey Mack, I’m choked!

[476] —I’m melting, he said, as the candle remarked when... But, hush!

[484] —What sort of a kip is this? he said. I told her to come after eight.

[489] —O, damn you and your Paris fads! Buck Mulligan said. I want Sandycove

[498] I can’t go fumbling at the damned eggs.

[507] —I’m giving you two lumps each, he said. But, I say, Mulligan, you

[513] —When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I

[514] makes water I makes water.

[520] —So I do, Mrs Cahill, says she. Begob, ma’am, says Mrs Cahill, God

[536] —I doubt it, said Stephen gravely.

[540] —I fancy, Stephen said as he ate, it did not exist in or out of the

[603] —I am, ma’am, Buck Mulligan answered.

[622] —I thought it was Irish, she said, by the sound of it. Are you from

[625] —I am an Englishman, Haines answered.

[630] —Sure we ought to, the old woman said, and I’m ashamed I don’t

[631] speak the language myself. I’m told it’s a grand language by them

[665] —Ask nothing more of me, sweet. All I can give you I give.

[680] —Seriously, Dedalus. I’m stony. Hurry out to your school kip and

[684] —That reminds me, Haines said, rising, that I have to visit your

[703] —I intend to make a collection of your sayings if you will let me.

[716] —Well, I mean it, Haines said, still speaking to Stephen. I was just

[719] —Would I make any money by it? Stephen asked.

[724] —I don’t know, I’m sure.

[732] milkwoman or from him. It’s a toss up, I think.

[734] —I blow him out about you, Buck Mulligan said, and then you come along

[737] —I see little hope, Stephen said, from her or from him.

[745] —To tell you the God’s truth I think you’re right. Damn all else

[746] they are good for. Why don’t you play them as I do? To hell with them

[761] we’ll simply have to dress the character. I want puce gloves and

[762] green boots. Contradiction. Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I

[773] —I’m ready, Buck Mulligan answered, going towards the door. Come

[774] out, Kinch. You have eaten all we left, I suppose. Resigned he passed

[787] —I have it, Stephen said, preceding them.

[804] —Rather bleak in wintertime, I should say. Martello you call it?

[811] —No, no, Buck Mulligan shouted in pain. I’m not equal to Thomas

[813] till I have a few pints in me first.

[843] —I mean to say, Haines explained to Stephen as they followed, this

[858] —I read a theological interpretation of it somewhere, he said bemused.

[868] —I’m the queerest young fellow that ever you heard.

[870] With Joseph the joiner I cannot agree.

[874] —If anyone thinks that I amn’t divine

[875] He’ll get no free drinks when I’m making the wine

[877] That I make when the wine becomes water again.

[882] —Goodbye, now, goodbye! Write down all I said

[883] And tell Tom, Dick and Harry I rose from the dead.

[893] —We oughtn’t to laugh, I suppose. He’s rather blasphemous. I’m

[903] —You’re not a believer, are you? Haines asked. I mean, a believer in

[920] you don’t, isn’t it? Personally I couldn’t stomach that idea of a

[921] personal God. You don’t stand for that, I suppose?

[930] He wants that key. It is mine. I paid the rent. Now I eat his salt

[939] —After all, I should think you are able to free yourself. You are your

[942] —I am a servant of two masters, Stephen said, an English and an

[959] —I can quite understand that, he said calmly. An Irishman must think

[960] like that, I daresay. We feel in England that we have treated you rather

[982] —Of course I’m a Britisher, Haines’s voice said, and I feel as

[983] one. I don’t want to see my country fall into the hands of German jews

[984] either. That’s our national problem, I’m afraid, just now.

[997] saltwhite. Here I am.

[1008] —Still there? I got a card from Bannon. Says he found a sweet young

[1048] —My twelfth rib is gone, he cried. I’m the Übermensch. Toothless

[1049] Kinch and I, the supermen.

[1068] —I’m going, Mulligan, he said.

[1099] The priest’s grey nimbus in a niche where he dressed discreetly. I

[1100] will not sleep here tonight. Home also I cannot go.

2. Nestor

[1129] of excess. I hear the ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppling

[1132] —I forget the place, sir. 279 B. C.

[1147] —I know, sir. Ask me, sir, Comyn said.

[1230] —Turn over, Stephen said quietly. I don’t see anything.

[1246] —Have I heard all? Stephen asked.

[1315] —Numbers eleven to fifteen, Sargent answered. Mr Deasy said I was to

[1357] Like him was I, these sloping shoulders, this gracelessness. My

[1393] —Will you wait in my study for a moment, Mr Deasy said, till I restore

[1436] —Three twelve, he said. I think you’ll find that’s right.

[1455] The same room and hour, the same wisdom: and I the same. Three times

[1456] now. Three nooses round me here. Well? I can break them in this instant

[1457] if I will.

[1461] as long as I have. I know, I know. If youth but knew. But what does

[1481] —I will tell you, he said solemnly, what is his proudest boast. I paid

[1486] —I paid my way. I never borrowed a shilling in my life. Can you feel

[1487] that? I owe nothing. Can you?

[1493] weeks’ board. The lump I have is useless.

[1499] —I knew you couldn’t, he said joyously. But one day you must feel

[1502] —I fear those big words, Stephen said, which make us so unhappy.

[1509] said. I saw three generations since O’Connell’s time. I remember the

[1522] —I have rebel blood in me too, Mr Deasy said. On the spindle side. But

[1523] I am descended from sir John Blackwood who voted for the union. We are

[1539] with some of your literary friends. I have a letter here for the press.

[1540] Sit down a moment. I have just to copy the end.

[1572] Again: a goal. I am among them, among their battling bodies in a medley,

[1582] —I have put the matter into a nutshell, Mr Deasy said. It’s about

[1586] May I trespass on your valuable space. That doctrine of laissez faire

[1594] —I don’t mince words, do I? Mr Deasy asked as Stephen read on.

[1603] —I want that to be printed and read, Mr Deasy said. You will see at

[1607] offer to come over here. I am trying to work up influence with the

[1608] department. Now I’m going to try publicity. I am surrounded by

[1616] nation’s vital strength. I have seen it coming these years. As sure

[1654] —History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to

[1676] —I am happier than you are, he said. We have committed many errors and

[1682] errors, many failures but not the one sin. I am a struggler now at the

[1683] end of my days. But I will fight for the right till the end.

[1691] —I foresee, Mr Deasy said, that you will not remain here very long

[1692] at this work. You were not born to be a teacher, I think. Perhaps I am

[1713] —I will try, Stephen said, and let you know tomorrow. I know two

[1716] —That will do, Mr Deasy said briskly. I wrote last night to Mr Field,

[1718] City Arms hotel. I asked him to lay my letter before the meeting. You

[1723] —That will do, Mr Deasy said. There is no time to lose. Now I have to

[1729] —Not at all, Mr Deasy said as he searched the papers on his desk. I

[1730] like to break a lance with you, old as I am.

[1737] toothless terrors. Still I will help him in his fight. Mulligan will dub

[1742] Running after me. No more letters, I hope.

[1750] —I just wanted to say, he said. Ireland, they say, has the honour

[1778] through my eyes. Signatures of all things I am here to read, seaspawn

[1788] shells. You are walking through it howsomever. I am, a stride at a time.

[1791] audible. Open your eyes. No. Jesus! If I fell over a cliff that beetles

[1792] o’er his base, fell through the nebeneinander ineluctably! I am

[1796] I walking into eternity along Sandymount strand? Crush, crack, crick,

[1801] Rhythm begins, you see. I hear. A catalectic tetrameter of iambs

[1804] Open your eyes now. I will. One moment. Has all vanished since? If I

[1805] open and am for ever in the black adiaphane. Basta! I will see if I can

[1829] Wombed in sin darkness I was too, made not begotten. By them, the man

[1845] I mustn’t forget his letter for the press. And after? The Ship, half

[1847] Yes, I must.

[1849] His pace slackened. Here. Am I going to aunt Sara’s or not? My

[1854] things I married into! De boys up in de hayloft. The drunken little

[1859] I pull the wheezy bell of their shuttered cottage: and wait. They take

[1896] —Sit down or by the law Harry I’ll knock you down.

[1940] rising, heard (now I am lifting) their two bells (he is kneeling) twang

[1953] Reading two pages apiece of seven books every night, eh? I was young.

[1957] Have you read his F? O yes, but I prefer Q. Yes, but W is wonderful. O

[1977] He halted. I have passed the way to aunt Sara’s. Am I not going there?

[2001] My Latin quarter hat. God, we simply must dress the character. I want

[2006] when I was in Paris; boul’ Mich’, I used to. Yes, used to carry

[2019] that’s all right. Shake hands. See what I meant, see? O, that’s all

[2035] And I’ll tell you the reason why.

[2059] There was a fellow I knew once in Barcelona, queer fellow, used to call

[2066] I know the voice. His fustian shirt, sanguineflowered, trembles its

[2073] I said. Most licentious custom. Bath a most private thing. I wouldn’t

[2075] eyes, I see you. Fang, I feel. Lascivious people.

[2085] Spurned lover. I was a strapping young gossoon at that time, I tell you.

[2086] I’ll show you my likeness one day. I was, faith. Lover, for her love

[2097] I wanted to get poor Pat a job one time. Mon fils, soldier of France. I

[2099] Know that old lay? I taught Patrice that. Old Kilkenny: saint Canice,

[2110] seeds of brightness. Here, I am not walking out to the Kish lightship,

[2111] am I? He stood suddenly, his feet beginning to sink slowly in the

[2120] platters. Who to clear it? He has the key. I will not sleep there when

[2125] midwatches I pace the path above the rocks, in sable silvered, hearing

[2128] The flood is following me. I can watch it flow past from here. Get back

[2139] on the ear. I’m the bloody well gigant rolls all them bloody well

[2140] boulders, bones for my steppingstones. Feefawfum. I zmellz de bloodz odz

[2145] be master of others or their slave. I have my stick. Sit tight. From

[2148] Peekaboo. I see you. No, the dog. He is running back to them. Who?

[2157] slaughters. Their blood is in me, their lusts my waves. I moved among

[2158] them on the frozen Liffey, that I, a changeling, among the spluttering

[2159] resin fires. I spoke to no-one: none to me.

[2162] I just simply stood pale, silent, bayed about. Terribilia meditans. A

[2175] spit it out. I would want to. I would try. I am not a strong swimmer.

[2176] Water cold soft. When I put my face into it in the basin at Clongowes.

[2179] shellcocoacoloured? If I had land under my feet. I want his life still

[2181] out of horror of his death. I... With him together down... I could not

[2224] Street of harlots. Remember. Haroun al Raschid. I am almosting it. That

[2225] man led me, spoke. I was not afraid. The melon he had he held against my

[2252] A side eye at my Hamlet hat. If I were suddenly naked here as I sit?

[2253] I am not. Across the sands of all the world, followed by the sun’s

[2272] scribbled words. That’s twice I forgot to take slips from the library

[2280] stars. I throw this ended shadow from me, manshape ineluctable, call it

[2286] yes, that’s right. Flat I see, then think distance, near, far, flat

[2287] I see, east, back. Ah, see now! Falls back suddenly, frozen in

[2294] hell am I bringing her beyond the veil? Into the ineluctable modality of

[2304] Touch me. Soft eyes. Soft soft soft hand. I am lonely here. O, touch me

[2305] soon, now. What is that word known to all men? I am quiet here alone.

[2310] Kevin Egan’s movement I made, nodding for his nap, sabbath sleep. Et

[2313] the southing sun. I am caught in this burning scene. Pan’s hour, the

[2321] tripudium, foot I dislove. But you were delighted when Esther Osvalt’s

[2322] shoe went on you: girl I knew in Paris. Tiens, quel petit pied! Staunch

[2324] arm: Cranly’s arm. He now will leave me. And the blame? As I am. As I

[2329] away. I shall wait. No, they will pass on, passing, chafing against the

[2357] mountain. Dead breaths I living breathe, tread dead dust, devour a

[2366] Come. I thirst. Clouding over. No black clouds anywhere, are there?

[2377] bad. Why, I wonder. Feel. That one is going too. Shells. Ought I go to a

[2378] dentist, I wonder, with that money? That one. This. Toothless Kinch, the

[2379] superman. Why is that, I wonder, or does it mean something perhaps?

[2381] My handkerchief. He threw it. I remember. Did I not take it up?

[2383] His hand groped vainly in his pockets. No, I didn’t. Better buy one.

4. Calypso

[2447] what I look like to her. Height of a tower? No, she can jump me.

[2450] chookchooks. I never saw such a stupid pussens as the pussens.

[2481] —I’m going round the corner. Be back in a minute.

[2497] At Plevna that was. I rose from the ranks, sir, and I’m proud of it.

[2509] In the trousers I left off. Must get it. Potato I have. Creaky wardrobe.

[2512] gently over the threshold, a limp lid. Looked shut. All right till I

[2517] warm day I fancy. Specially in these black clothes feel it more. Black

[2518] conducts, reflects, (refracts is it?), the heat. But I couldn’t go in

[2533] the evening wind. I pass on. Fading gold sky. A mother watches me from

[2537] instruments what do you call them: dulcimers. I pass.

[2557] off to a tee with his eyes screwed up. Do you know what I’m going to

[2612] sanatorium. Moses Montefiore. I thought he was. Farmhouse, wall round

[2641] them sizeable. Prime sausage. O please, Mr Policeman, I’m lost in the

[2676] jars, eh? I have a few left from Andrews. Molly spitting them out. Knows

[2689] is like that Norwegian captain’s. Wonder if I’ll meet him today.

[2709] chilling his blood: age crusting him with a salt cloak. Well, I am here

[2710] now. Yes, I am here now. Morning mouth bad images. Got up wrong side of

[2755] —Hurry up with that tea, she said. I’m parched.

[2786] wait: four. I gave her the amberoid necklace she broke. Putting pieces

[2791] I’d rather have you without a farthing

[2796] the parlour. O, look what I found in professor Goodwin’s hat! All we

[2837] —Eleven, I think, he answered. I didn’t see the paper.

[2854] —Show here, she said. I put a mark in it. There’s a word I wanted to

[2912] in. Not unlike her with her hair down: slimmer. Three and six I gave

[2950] splendid. Everyone says I am quite the belle in my new tam. I got

[2951] mummy’s lovely box of creams and am writing. They are lovely. I am

[2956] mummy and to yourself a big kiss and thanks. I hear them at the piano

[2959] cousins or something are big swells and he sings Boylan’s (I was on

[2961] Tell him silly Milly sends my best respects. I must now close with

[3036] I’m.

[3062] the peg. Or hanging up on the floor. Funny I don’t remember that.

[3064] letters. Drago’s shopbell ringing. Queer I was just thinking that

[3066] brushup. Wonder have I time for a bath this morning. Tara street. Chap

[3101] some proverb. Which? Time I used to try jotting down on my cuff what she

[3105] possessed me to buy this comb? 9.24. I’m swelled after that cabbage. A

[3113] Why? I noticed he had a good rich smell off his breath dancing. No use

5. Lotus Eaters

[3190] I saw in that picture somewhere? Ah yes, in the dead sea floating on his

[3239] Women will pay a lot of heed, I don’t think. His fingers drew forth

[3258] —Is there any... no trouble I hope? I see you’re...

[3268] —I must try to get out there, M’Coy said. Eleven, is it? I only

[3271] —I know.

[3284] —I was with Bob Doran, he’s on one of his periodical bends, and what

[3290] braided drums. Clearly I can see today. Moisture about gives long sight

[3294] —And he said: Sad thing about our poor friend Paddy! What Paddy? I

[3302] —Why? I said. What’s wrong with him? I said.

[3312] he filled up. Is it Paddy Dignam? I said. I couldn’t believe it when I

[3313] heard it. I was with him no later than Friday last or Thursday was it in

[3333] —Wife well, I suppose? M’Coy’s changed voice said.

[3347] Valise tack again. By the way no harm. I’m off that, thanks.

[3381] funeral, will you? I’d like to go but I mightn’t be able, you see.

[3384] my name if I’m not there, will you?

[3386] —I’ll do that, Mr Bloom said, moving to get off. That’ll be all

[3389] —Right, M’Coy said brightly. Thanks, old man. I’d go if I possibly

[3395] I’d like my job. Valise I have a particular fancy for. Leather. Capped

[3405] my grain somehow. Thought that Belfast would fetch him. I hope that

[3418] I was born that was: sixtyfive. And Ristori in Vienna. What is this the

[3423] Nathan’s voice! His son’s voice! I hear the voice of Nathan who left

[3429] Poor papa! Poor man! I’m glad I didn’t go into the room to look at

[3434] hazard. No use thinking of it any more. Nosebag time. Wish I hadn’t

[3463] Open it. And once I played marbles when I went to that old dame’s

[3467] A flower. I think it’s a. A yellow flower with flattened petals. Not

[3472] I got your last letter to me and thank you very much for it. I am sorry

[3473] you did not like my last letter. Why did you enclose the stamps? I am

[3474] awfully angry with you. I do wish I could punish you for that. I called

[3475] you naughty boy because I do not like that other world. Please tell me

[3477] you poor little naughty boy? I do wish I could do something for you.

[3478] Please tell me what you think of poor me. I often think of the beautiful

[3479] name you have. Dear Henry, when will we meet? I think of you so often

[3480] you have no idea. I have never felt myself so much drawn to a man as

[3481] you. I feel so bad about. Please write me a long letter and tell me

[3482] more. Remember if you do not I will punish you. So now you know what I

[3483] will do to you, you naughty boy, if you do not wrote. O how I long to

[3485] exhausted. Then I will tell you all. Goodbye now, naughty darling, I

[3490] P. S. Do tell me what kind of perfume does your wife use. I want to

[3498] if you don’t please poor forgetmenot how I long violets to dear

[3528] Martha, Mary. I saw that picture somewhere I forget now old master or

[3537] in the wall at Ashtown. Must carry a paper goblet next time I go to the

[3555] What am I saying barrels? Gallons. About a million barrels all the same.

[3565] behind the leather headband. Damn it. I might have tried to work M’Coy

[3577] Conmee: Martin Cunningham knows him: distinguishedlooking. Sorry I

[3583] listening. Still life. Lap it up like milk, I suppose.

[3609] sort of bread: unleavened shewbread. Look at them. Now I bet it makes

[3613] family party, same in the theatre, all in the same swim. They do. I’m

[3624] what to do to. Bald spot behind. Letters on his back: I.N.R.I? No:

[3625] I.H.S. Molly told me one time I asked her. I have sinned: or no: I have

[3633] every morning. This very church. Peter Carey, yes. No, Peter Claver I am

[3638] she’s not here: the flower: no, no. By the way, did I tear up that

[3651] Who has the organ here I wonder? Old Glynn he knew how to make that

[3656] Footdrill stopped. Could hear a pin drop. I told her to pitch her voice

[3657] against that corner. I could feel the thrill in the air, the full, the

[3685] the bone. I remember slightly. How long since your last mass? Glorious

[3689] to. Then I will tell you all. Penance. Punish me, please. Great weapon

[3690] in their hands. More than doctor or solicitor. Woman dying to. And I

[3697] How I found the Lord. Squareheaded chaps those must be in Rome: they

[3729] Prescott’s dyeworks: a widow in her weeds. Notice because I’m in

[3738] trousers. O, and I forgot that latchkey too. Bore this funeral affair.

[3739] O well, poor fellow, it’s not his fault. When was it I got it made up

[3740] last? Wait. I changed a sovereign I remember. First of the month it must

[3819] —I want to see about that French horse that’s running today, Bantam

[3831] —I was just going to throw it away, Mr Bloom said.

[3982] I’ll make it my business to write a letter one of those days to his

[3984] a gate. I’ll tickle his catastrophe, believe you me.

[3988] —I won’t have her bastard of a nephew ruin my son. A

[4001] touch, Poldy. God, I’m dying for it. How life begins.

[4004] I could have helped him on in life. I could. Make him independent. Learn

[4035] —Unless I’m greatly mistaken. What do you think, Martin?

[4039] Mr Bloom set his thigh down. Glad I took that bath. Feel my feet quite

[4040] clean. But I wish Mrs Fleming had darned these socks better.

[4055] —I met M’Coy this morning, Mr Bloom said. He said he’d try to

[4081] I thought it would. My boots were creaking I remember now.

[4107] ballad, Martin, is the most trenchant rendering I ever heard in the

[4115] —I did not then, Mr Dedalus said. Where is it?

[4119] Mr Bloom took the paper from his inside pocket. That book I must change

[4136] I tore up the envelope? Yes. Where did I put her letter after I read it

[4142] trotting round with a fare. An hour ago I was passing there. The jarvies

[4157] Stratton, Mrs Bandmann Palmer. Could I go to see Leah tonight, I wonder.

[4187] that? I suppose the skin can’t contract quickly enough when the flesh

[4199] —O, very well, Mr Bloom said. I hear great accounts of it. It’s a

[4213] topnobbers. J. C. Doyle and John MacCormack I hope and. The best, in

[4241] the ears. Madame: smiling. I smiled back. A smile goes a long way. Only

[4341] he was in his usual health that I’d be driving after him like this.

[4438] —We are going the pace, I think, Martin Cunningham said.

[4442] —I hope not, Martin Cunningham said. That will be a great race

[4483] —I can’t make out why the corporation doesn’t run a tramline from

[4493] and all. Don’t you see what I mean?

[4531] the knocking about? He would and he wouldn’t, I suppose. Depends on

[4547] Moyvalley, I could make a walking tour to see Milly by the canal. Or

[4551] Houseboats. Camping out. Also hearses. To heaven by water. Perhaps I

[4558] —I wonder how is our friend Fogarty getting on, Mr Power said.

[4562] —How is that? Martin Cunningham said. Left him weeping, I suppose?

[4660] —I was in mortal agony with you talking of suicide before Bloom.

[4668] —O God! Mr Power whispered. First I heard of it. Poisoned himself?

[4675] —I believe so, Mr Kernan answered. But the policy was heavily

[4754] Who’ll read the book? I, said the rook.

[4759] Father Coffey. I knew his name was like a coffin. Dominenamine. Bully

[4789] The server piped the answers in the treble. I often thought it would be

[4793] Holy water that was, I expect. Shaking sleep out of it. He must be fed

[4827] —Her grave is over there, Jack, Mr Dedalus said. I’ll soon be

[4860] impressive I must say.

[4866] —I am the resurrection and the life. That touches a man’s inmost

[4896] —Who is that chap behind with Tom Kernan? John Henry Menton asked. I

[4901] —Bloom, he said, Madame Marion Tweedy that was, is, I mean, the

[4904] —O, to be sure, John Henry Menton said. I haven’t seen her for some

[4905] time. She was a finelooking woman. I danced with her, wait, fifteen

[4933] —I am come to pay you another visit.

[4976] checks. Habeas corpus. I must see about that ad after the funeral. Did I

[4977] write Ballsbridge on the envelope I took to cover when she disturbed me

[4986] I suppose who is this used to say he was a queer breedy man great

[4990] sleep. Have you ever seen a ghost? Well, I have. It was a pitchdark

[5015] I daresay the soil would be quite fat with corpsemanure, bones, flesh,

[5050] over there in the macintosh? Now who is he I’d like to know? Now

[5051] I’d give a trifle to know who he is. Always someone turns up you never

[5072] Twelve. I’m thirteen. No. The chap in the macintosh is thirteen.

[5076] Nice soft tweed Ned Lambert has in that suit. Tinge of purple. I had

[5079] mine turned by Mesias. Hello. It’s dyed. His wife I forgot he’s not

[5098] someone else. Try the house opposite. Wait, I wanted to. I haven’t

[5106] of Lucia. Shall I nevermore behold thee? Bam! He expires. Gone at last.

[5117] Near you. Mine over there towards Finglas, the plot I bought. Mamma,

[5140] —I am just taking the names, Hynes said below his breath. What is your

[5141] christian name? I’m not sure.

[5146] —Charley, Hynes said writing. I know. He was on the Freeman once.

[5152] no harm. I saw to that, M’Coy. Thanks, old chap: much obliged. Leave

[5160] —Macintosh. Yes, I saw him, Mr Bloom said. Where is he now?

[5162] —M’Intosh, Hynes said scribbling. I don’t know who he is. Is that

[5167] —No, Mr Bloom began, turning and stopping. I say, Hynes!

[5189] Thanks in silence. Sorry, sir: trouble. Headshake. I know that. For

[5294] I read of to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running

[5295] gravesores. Give you the creeps after a bit. I will appear to you after

[5297] death. There is another world after death named hell. I do not like that

[5298] other world she wrote. No more do I. Plenty to see and hear and feel

[5387] —Just cut it out, will you? Mr Bloom said, and I’ll take it round to

[5397] —I’ll go through the printingworks, Mr Bloom said, taking the cut

[5403] —Right, Mr Bloom said with a nod. I’ll rub that in.

[5487] Dear Mr Editor, what is a good cure for flatulence? I’d like that

[5517] —Thanks, old man, Hynes said. I’ll tap him too.

[5521] Three bob I lent him in Meagher’s. Three weeks. Third hint.

[5540] Maybe he understands what I.

[5576] I could ask him perhaps about how to pronounce that voglio. But then if

[5581] —I can get it, Mr Bloom said. It was in a Kilkenny paper. He has a

[5582] house there too. I’ll just run out and ask him. Well, you can do that

[5603] I should have said when he clapped on his topper. Thank you. I ought

[5604] to have said something about an old hat or something. No. I could have

[5677] door when I was there.

[5680] I put there. Lose it out of that pocket. Putting back his handkerchief

[5684] What perfume does your wife use? I could go home still: tram: something

[5685] I forgot. Just to see: before: dressing. No. Here. No.

[5722] —That will do, professor MacHugh cried from the window. I don’t want

[5728] High falutin stuff. Bladderbags. Ned Lambert is taking a day off I see.

[5766] —I beg yours, he said.

[5784] What’s in the wind, I wonder. Money worry.

[5868] —Come, Ned, Mr Dedalus said, putting on his hat. I must get a drink

[5911] —Just a moment, Mr Crawford, he said. I just want to phone about an

[5941] —Hush, Lenehan said. I hear feetstoops.

[5973] Aha! I see... Right. I’ll catch him.

[6191] loyal to the successful. We serve them. I teach the blatant Latin

[6192] language. I speak the tongue of a race the acme of whose mentality is

[6233] —That’ll be all right, he said. I’ll read the rest after.

[6614] this age, that I stood in ancient Egypt and that I was listening to the

[6622] —And it seemed to me that I heard the voice of that Egyptian

[6623] highpriest raised in a tone of like haughtiness and like pride. I heard

[6688] I have money.

[6690] —Gentlemen, Stephen said. As the next motion on the agenda paper may I

[6698] say ay, Lenehan announced. The contrary no. I declare it carried. To

[6829] puffing, and taking the cutting from his pocket. I spoke with Mr Keyes

[6832] Saturday pink. And he wants it copied if it’s not too late I told

[6833] councillor Nannetti from the Kilkenny People. I can have access to it in

[6836] the renewal. But he wants just a little puff. What will I tell him, Mr

[6847] today. Last time I saw him he had his heels on view. Been walking in

[6864] —Nulla bona, Jack, he said, raising his hand to his chin. I’m up to

[6865] here. I’ve been through the hoop myself. I was looking for a fellow to

[6867] the will for the deed. With a heart and a half if I could raise the wind

[6898] —Onehandled adulterer! the professor cried. I like that. I see the

[6899] idea. I see what you mean.

[6947] —No, Stephen said. I call it A Pisgah Sight of Palestine or The

[6954] —I see, he said again with new pleasure. Moses and the promised land.

[7163] by her eyes. Very hard to bargain with that sort of a woman. I disturbed

[7209] Windy night that was I went to fetch her there was that lodge meeting on

[7211] or oakroom of the Mansion house. He and I behind. Sheet of her music

[7248] —You’re in black, I see. You have no...

[7250] —No, Mr Bloom said. I have just come from a funeral.

[7252] Going to crop up all day, I foresee. Who’s dead, when and what did he

[7255] —O, dear me, Mrs Breen said. I hope it wasn’t any near relation.

[7260] poor fellow. Heart trouble, I believe. Funeral was this morning.

[7277] has me heartscalded. Wait till I show you.

[7290] Husband barging. Where’s the ten shillings I gave you on Monday?

[7302] Let her speak. Look straight in her eyes. I believe you. Trust me.

[7339] Pungent mockturtle oxtail mulligatawny. I’m hungry too. Flakes of

[7351] Philip Beaufoy I was thinking. Playgoers’ Club. Matcham often thinks

[7352] of the masterstroke. Did I pull the chain? Yes. The last act.

[7356] —I just called to ask on the way in is she over it. She’s in the

[7360] —O, Mr Bloom said. I’m sorry to hear that.

[7370] —I’m sorry to hear that, he said. Poor thing! Three days! That’s

[7399] —There he is, she said. I must go after him. Goodbye. Remember me to

[7402] —I will, Mr Bloom said.

[7419] U. p: up. I’ll take my oath that’s Alf Bergan or Richie Goulding.

[7420] Wrote it for a lark in the Scotch house I bet anything. Round to

[7428] lady typist to aid gentleman in literary work. I called you naughty

[7429] darling because I do not like that other world. Please tell me what is

[7455] I was her clotheshorse. Saw her in the viceregal party when Stubbs the

[7457] quality left. High tea. Mayonnaise I poured on the plums thinking it was

[7476] He walked on past Bolton’s Westmoreland house. Tea. Tea. Tea. I forgot

[7512] I pick the fellow in black. Here goes. Here’s good luck. Must be

[7538] horse’s hoofs clattering after us down Abbey street. Lucky I had the

[7539] presence of mind to dive into Manning’s or I was souped. He did come

[7540] a wallop, by George. Must have cracked his skull on the cobblestones. I

[7542] Trinity jibs in their mortarboards. Looking for trouble. Still I got to

[7607] somewhere. Other dying every second. Since I fed the birds five minutes.

[7682] symbolistic. Esthetes they are. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was that

[7691] and Son, pricing the fieldglasses. Or will I drop into old Harris’s

[7709] disk. Must be the focus where the rays cross. If I had black glasses.

[7715] Now that I come to think of it that ball falls at Greenwich time. It’s

[7717] some first Saturday of the month. If I could get an introduction to

[7732] like that pineapple rock. The moon. Must be a new moon out, she said. I

[7763] I was happier then. Or was that I? Or am I now I? Twentyeight I was. She

[7768] Wants to sew on buttons for me. I must answer. Write it in the library.

[7783] Pincushions. I’m a long time threatening to buy one. Sticking them all

[7835] Bitten off more than he can chew. Am I like that? See ourselves as

[7867] silver knife in his mouth. That’s witty, I think. Or no. Silver means

[7875] with his mouth full. Sympathetic listener. Table talk. I munched hum un

[7882] Out. I hate dirty eaters.

[7928] Ah, I’m hungry.

[7933] What will I take now? He drew his watch. Let me see now. Shandygaff?

[7941] —Tiptop... Let me see. I’ll take a glass of burgundy and... let me

[7964] Like a few olives too if they had them. Italian I prefer. Good glass of

[8009] —Ay, now I remember, Nosey Flynn said, putting his hand in his pocket

[8051] —I’m off that, Mr Flynn, Davy Byrne answered. I never put anything

[8081] —I could, faith, Nosey Flynn said, snuffling. That was a rare bit

[8093] Will I tell him that horse Lenehan? He knows already. Better let him

[8101] cheese. Nice wine it is. Taste it better because I’m not thirsty. Bath

[8102] of course does that. Just a bite or two. Then about six o’clock I can.

[8105] Mild fire of wine kindled his veins. I wanted that badly. Felt so

[8127] Raw pastry I like myself. Half the catch of oysters they throw back in

[8141] evening dress, halfnaked ladies. May I tempt you to a little more

[8143] Huguenot name I expect that. A miss Dubedat lived in Killiney, I

[8161] turn away. Ravished over her I lay, full lips full open, kissed her

[8163] Mawkish pulp her mouth had mumbled sweetsour of her spittle. Joy: I ate

[8168] she laughed warmfolded. Wildly I lay on her, kissed her: eyes, her lips,

[8170] nun’s veiling, fat nipples upright. Hot I tongued her. She kissed me.

[8171] I was kissed. All yielding she tossed my hair. Kissed, she kissed me.

[8181] All to see. Never speaking. I mean to say to fellows like Flynn. Suppose

[8189] no. Never looked. I’ll look today. Keeper won’t see. Bend down let

[8204] —I know him well to see, Davy Byrne said. Is he in trouble?

[8206] —Trouble? Nosey Flynn said. Not that I heard of. Why?

[8208] —I noticed he was in mourning.

[8210] —Was he? Nosey Flynn said. So he was, faith. I asked him how was all

[8213] —I never broach the subject, Davy Byrne said humanely, if I see a

[8220] taking it home to his better half. She’s well nourished, I tell you.

[8241] a leg up. I was told that by a—well, I won’t say who.

[8246] you’re down. I know a fellow was trying to get into it. But they’re

[8260] —And is that a fact? Decent quiet man he is. I often saw him in here

[8261] and I never once saw him—you know, over the line.

[8269] —There are some like that, Davy Byrne said. He’s a safe man, I’d

[8278] —I know, Davy Byrne said.

[8293] —I’m sitting anyhow, Nosey Flynn answered.

[8297] —I’ll take a stone ginger, Bantam Lyons said.

[8307] —Would I trouble you for a glass of fresh water, Mr Byrne? he said.

[8313] —Lord love a duck, he said. Look at what I’m standing drinks to!

[8331] —Say nothing! Bantam Lyons winked. I’m going to plunge five bob on

[8371] library now I must.

[8486] passing the Stewart institution, head in the air. Look at me. I have

[8507] his belly. But I know it’s whitey yellow. Want to try in the dark to

[8523] bluecoat school. I sentenced him to ten years. I suppose he’d turn up

[8524] his nose at that stuff I drank. Vintage wine for them, the year marked

[8539] Mr Bloom came to Kildare street. First I must. Library.

[8546] Is it? Almost certain. Won’t look. Wine in my face. Why did I? Too

[8564] Look for something I.

[8575] I am looking for that. Yes, that. Try all pockets. Handker. Freeman.

[8576] Where did I? Ah, yes. Trousers. Potato. Purse. Where?

[8630] —I feel you would need one more for Hamlet. Seven is dear to the

[8679] suffers in us at every moment. This verily is that. I am the fire upon

[8680] the altar. I am the sacrificial butter.

[8723] —I was showing him Jubainville’s book. He’s quite enthusiastic,

[8724] don’t you know, about Hyde’s Lovesongs of Connacht. I couldn’t

[8729] Writ, I ween, ’twas not my wish

[8733] We feel in England. Penitent thief. Gone. I smoked his baccy. Green

[8768] —Yes, I suppose it would be, he said. Excellent people, no doubt, but

[8840] premises: you are the dispossessed son: I am the murdered father: your

[8848] —Interesting only to the parish clerk. I mean, we have the plays. I

[8861] Marry, I wanted it.

[8878] I paid my way. I paid my way.

[8883] Wait. Five months. Molecules all change. I am other I now. Other I got

[8888] But I, entelechy, form of forms, am I by memory because under

[8891] I that sinned and prayed and fasted.

[8895] I, I and I. I.

[9044] —I understand, Stephen said. Thanks.

[9049] I feel we are. The Gaelic league wants something in Irish. I hope you

[9093] Thoth, god of libraries, a birdgod, moonycrowned. And I heard the voice

[9104] —But Hamlet is so personal, isn’t it? Mr Best pleaded. I mean, a

[9105] kind of private paper, don’t you know, of his private life. I mean,

[9106] I don’t care a button, don’t you know, who is killed or who is

[9115] —I was prepared for paradoxes from what Malachi Mulligan told us but

[9116] I may as well warn you that if you want to shake my belief that

[9123] Brunetto, I thank thee for the word.

[9128] it was when I was born, though all my body has been woven of new stuff

[9131] when the mind, Shelley says, is a fading coal, that which I was is that

[9132] which I am and that which in possibility I may come to be. So in the

[9133] future, the sister of the past, I may see myself as I sit here now but

[9134] by reflection from that which then I shall be.

[9138] —Yes, Mr Best said youngly. I feel Hamlet quite young. The bitterness

[9142] Has the wrong sow by the lug. He is in my father. I am in his son.

[9209] —I hope Mr Dedalus will work out his theory for the enlightenment of

[9214] sonnets. The favoured rival is William Herbert, earl of Pembroke. I own

[9216] harmony with—what shall I say?—our notions of what ought not to have

[9232] overborne in a cornfield first (ryefield, I should say) and he will

[9271] —You were speaking of the gaseous vertebrate, if I mistake not? he

[9294] discussion. Mr Mulligan, I’ll be bound, has his theory too of the play

[9301] —Shakespeare? he said. I seem to know the name.

[9314] —I came through the museum, Buck Mulligan said. Was he here?

[9317] tired perhaps of our brilliancies of theorising. I hear that an actress

[9320] an Irishman? Judge Barton, I believe, is searching for some clues. He

[9329] Or Hughie Wills? Mr William Himself. W. H.: who am I?

[9331] —I mean, for Willie Hughes, Mr Best said, amending his gloss easily.

[9342] How much did I spend? O, a few shillings.

[9379] we did for a gallus potion would rouse a friar, I’m thinking, and

[9531] Sweet Ann, I take it, was hot in the blood. Once a wooer, twice a wooer.

[9554] But that has been explained, I believe, by jurists.

[9565] As I believe, to name her

[9604] —Do you mean he died so? Mr Best asked with slight concern. I mean...

[9607] for a king. O, I must tell you what Dowden said!

[9614] —Lovely! Buck Mulligan suspired amorously. I asked him what he thought

[9653] I think you’re getting on very nicely. Just mix up a mixture of

[9726] that Russell is right. What do we care for his wife or father? I should

[9766] I know. Shut up. Blast you. I have reasons.

[9781] In rue Monsieur-le-Prince I thought it.

[9785] Am I a father? If I were?

[9805] —Himself his own father, Sonmulligan told himself. Wait. I am big with

[9902] is strange enough. I suppose it explains your fantastical humour.

[9925] I am anticipating?

[10047] —May I? he said. The Lord has spoken to Malachi.

[10072] —Well, in that case, he said, I don’t see why you should expect

[10855] sir. I’ll ring them up after five.

[10893] I’ll get those bags cleared away from the windows. You can take it

[10930] Kildare after he set fire to Cashel cathedral. You know that one? I’m

[10931] bloody sorry I did it, says he, but I declare to God I thought the

[10932] archbishop was inside. He mightn’t like it, though. What? God, I’ll

[11005] —I know, M’Coy said. The drain, you mean.

[11024] —This way, he said, walking to the right. I want to pop into Lynam’s

[11042] —Even money, Lenehan said returning. I knocked against Bantam Lyons

[11055] —He’s dead nuts on sales, M’Coy said. I was with him one day and

[11062] —I’ll tell you a damn good one about comets’ tails, he said. Come

[11077] —I know, M’Coy broke in. My missus sang there once.

[11086] —But wait till I tell you, he said. Delahunt of Camden street had the

[11216] —I’ll take this one.

[11262] —Where would I get money? Mr Dedalus said. There is no-one in Dublin

[11272] —I know you did, Dilly answered. Were you in the Scotch house now?

[11274] —I was not, then, Mr Dedalus said, smiling. Was it the little nuns

[11281] —I suppose you got five, Dilly said. Give me more than that.

[11286] from me. Low blackguardism! I’m going to get rid of you. Wouldn’t

[11287] care if I was stretched out stiff. He’s dead. The man upstairs is

[11307] —Watch him, he said. It’s instructive. I wonder will he allow us to

[11312] —I’m going to show you a little trick, Mr Dedalus said. I’ll leave

[11313] you all where Jesus left the jews. Look, there’s all I have. I got

[11314] two shillings from Jack Power and I spent twopence for a shave for the

[11324] street. I’ll try this one now.

[11557] you. I suppose all my books are gone.

[11580] —Why then not much, Father Cowley said. I’m barricaded up, Simon,

[11589] —The same, Simon, Father Cowley answered. Reuben of that ilk. I’m

[11596] —I know, Mr Dedalus said, nodding. Poor old bockedy Ben! He’s always

[11619] —Why, God eternally curse your soul, Ben Dollard growled furiously, I

[11656] —Come along with me to the subsheriff’s office, he said. I want to

[11659] along. I saw John Henry Menton casually in the Bodega just now and it

[11660] will cost me a fall if I don’t... Wait awhile... We’re on the right

[11728] —I’ll say there is much kindness in the jew, he quoted, elegantly.

[11790] —Come on up, Martin Cunningham said to the subsheriff. I don’t think

[11861] —I am sure he has an idée fixe, Haines said, pinching his chin

[11862] thoughtfully with thumb and forefinger. Now I am speculating what it

[11872] —Eternal punishment, Haines said, nodding curtly. I see. I tackled him

[11873] this morning on belief. There was something on his mind, I saw.

[11893] Still, I shouldn’t wonder if he did after all.

[12716] Hello. Where off to? Something to eat? I too was just. In here. What,

[12718] See, not be seen. I think I’ll join you. Come on. Richie led on. Bloom

[12742] —Hold on, said Lenehan, till I...

[12748] —I plunged a bit, said Boylan winking and drinking. Not on my own, you

[12775] whet appetite. I couldn’t do. Wait, wait. Pat, waiter, waited.

[12792] —I could not leave thee...

[12831] —I’m off, said Boylan with impatience.

[12835] —Wait a shake, begged Lenehan, drinking quickly. I wanted to tell you.

[12842] —Got the horn or what? he said. Wait. I’m coming.

[12864] —What’s that? Mr Dedalus said. I was only vamping, man.

[12886] pensive (why did he go so quick when I?) about her bronze, over the

[12912] —I saved the situation, Ben, I think.

[12914] —You did, averred Ben Dollard. I remember those tight trousers too.

[12958] —Yes, begad. I remember the old drummajor.

[13598] men’s intervals. Gap in their voices too. Fill me. I’m warm, dark,

[13606] It is a kind of music I often thought when she. Acoustics that is.

[13626] I’ll go. Here, Pat, return. Come. He came, he came, he did not stay.

[13698] half know I’m. Molly great dab at seeing anyone looking.

[13725] I too. Last of my race. Milly young student. Well, my fault perhaps. No

[13730] Hate. Love. Those are names. Rudy. Soon I am old.

[13746] Mumpsypum. Laughter in court. Henry. I never signed it. The lovely name

[13760] a flute alive. Blow gentle. Loud. Three holes, all women. Goddess I

[13769] Will? You? I. Want. You. To.

[13788] For him then not for. Infatuated. I like that? See her from here though.

[13802] I hold this house. Amen. He gnashed in fury. Traitors swing.

[13807] Pass by her. Can leave that Freeman. Letter I have. Suppose she were

[13811] Well, I must be. Are you off? Yrfmstbyes. Blmstup. O’er ryehigh

[13936] —O, that must be the tuner, Lydia said to Simonlionel first I saw,

[13939] Blind he was she told George Lidwell second I saw. And played so

[13948] I feel I want...

12. Cyclops

[14064] I was just passing the time of day with old Troy of the D. M. P. at the

[14066] and he near drove his gear into my eye. I turned around to let him have

[14067] the weight of my tongue when who should I see dodging along Stony Batter

[14070] —Lo, Joe, says I. How are you blowing? Did you see that bloody

[14076] —Old Troy, says I, was in the force. I’m on two minds not to give

[14082] —Devil a much, says I. There’s a bloody big foxy thief beyond by the

[14091] —Ay, says I. A bit off the top. An old plumber named Geraghty. I’m

[14092] hanging on to his taw now for the past fortnight and I can’t get a

[14097] —Ay, says I. How are the mighty fallen! Collector of bad and doubtful

[14100] rain. Tell him, says he, I dare him, says he, and I doubledare him

[14101] to send you round here again or if he does, says he, I’ll have him

[14102] summonsed up before the court, so I will, for trading without a licence.

[14103] And he after stuffing himself till he’s fit to burst. Jesus, I had to

[14130] —Not taking anything between drinks, says I.

[14134] —Who? says I. Sure, he’s out in John of God’s off his head, poor

[14139] —Ay, says I. Whisky and water on the brain.

[14141] —Come around to Barney Kiernan’s, says Joe. I want to see the

[14144] —Barney mavourneen’s be it, says I. Anything strange or wonderful,

[14147] —Not a word, says Joe. I was up at that meeting in the City Arms.

[14149] —What was that, Joe? says I.

[14151] —Cattle traders, says Joe, about the foot and mouth disease. I want to

[14156] has it but sure like that he never has it. Jesus, I couldn’t get over

[14195] I dare him, says he, and I doubledare him. Come out here, Geraghty, you

[14220] —There he is, says I, in his gloryhole, with his cruiskeen lawn and

[14225] dog. I’m told for a fact he ate a good part of the breeches off a

[14242] —I think the markets are on a rise, says he, sliding his hand down his

[14253] —Arrah, give over your bloody codding, Joe, says I. I’ve a thirst on

[14254] me I wouldn’t sell for half a crown.

[14262] —Ditto MacAnaspey, says I.

[14331] sight nearly left my eyes when I saw him land out a quid. O, as true as

[14332] I’m telling you. A goodlooking sovereign.

[14336] —Were you robbing the poorbox, Joe? says I.

[14341] —I saw him before I met you, says I, sloping around by Pill lane and

[14353] Independent, and I’ll thank you and the marriages.

[14366] —I know that fellow, says Joe, from bitter experience.

[14376] —I will, says he, honourable person.

[14378] —Health, Joe, says I. And all down the form.

[14380] Ah! Ow! Don’t be talking! I was blue mouldy for the want of that pint.

[14381] Declare to God I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click.

[14391] corner that I hadn’t seen snoring drunk blind to the world only Bob

[14392] Doran. I didn’t know what was up and Alf kept making signs out of the

[14396] poodle. I thought Alf would split.

[14403] —Take a what? says I.

[14407] —O hell! says I.

[14412] —Bi i dho husht, says he.

[14418] round to the subsheriff’s for a lark. O God, I’ve a pain laughing.

[14427] —Yes, says Alf. Hanging? Wait till I show you. Here, Terry, give us

[14466] hanging, I’ll show you something you never saw. Hangmen’s letters.

[14471] —Are you codding? says I.

[14479] So I saw there was going to be a bit of a dust. Bob’s a queer chap

[14480] when the porter’s up in him so says I just to make talk:

[14484] —I don’t know, says Alf. I saw him just now in Capel street with

[14485] Paddy Dignam. Only I was running after that...

[14501] —Sure I’m after seeing him not five minutes ago, says Alf, as plain

[14573] —Who? says I.

[14578] And, begob, I saw his physog do a peep in and then slidder off again.

[14582] —Good Christ! says he. I could have sworn it was him.

[14589] —I beg your parsnips, says Alf.

[14599] —He’s a bloody ruffian, I say, to take away poor little Willy

[14639] Honoured sir i beg to offer my services in the abovementioned painful

[14640] case i hanged Joe Gann in Bootle jail on the 12 of Febuary 1900 and i

[14643] —Show us, Joe, says I.

[14646] Pentonville prison and i was assistant when...

[14648] —Jesus, says I.

[14654] —Hold hard, says Joe, i have a special nack of putting the noose once

[14655] in he can’t get out hoping to be favoured i remain, honoured sir, my

[14685] wight hath done a deed of blood for I will on nowise suffer it even so

[14690] business and the old dog smelling him all the time I’m told those

[14692] I don’t know what all deterrent effect and so forth and so on.

[14702] —God’s truth, says Alf. I heard that from the head warder that was

[14767] that kept the hotel. Jesus, I had to laugh at pisser Burke taking them

[14769] on the other hand. And sure, more be token, the lout I’m told was

[14779] —You don’t grasp my point, says Bloom. What I mean is...

[14833] T. E. I. as to whether the eighth or the ninth of March was the correct

[14843] MacFadden was heartily congratulated by all the F. O. T. E. I., several

[14942] makes me kind of bleeding cry, straight, it does, when I sees her cause

[14943] I thinks of my old mashtub what’s waiting for me down Limehouse way.

[14953] froth of his pint. And one night I went in with a fellow into one of

[14965] So howandever, as I was saying, the old dog seeing the tin was empty

[14966] starts mousing around by Joe and me. I’d train him by kindness, so

[14967] I would, if he was my dog. Give him a rousing fine kick now and again

[14972] —No, says I. But he might take my leg for a lamppost.

[15028] —I will, says he, a chara, to show there’s no ill feeling.

[15037] —Could a swim duck? says I.

[15042] —Thank you, no, says Bloom. As a matter of fact I just wanted to

[15044] Dignam’s. Martin asked me to go to the house. You see, he, Dignam, I

[15056] —The wife’s advisers, I mean, says Bloom.

[15074] to tell her that. Shake hands, brother. You’re a rogue and I’m

[15079] as I hope and believe, on a sentiment of mutual esteem as to request of

[15080] you this favour. But, should I have overstepped the limits of reserve

[15083] —No, rejoined the other, I appreciate to the full the motives which

[15084] actuate your conduct and I shall discharge the office you entrust to

[15090] heart, I feel sure, will dictate to you better than my inadequate words

[15092] poignancy, were I to give vent to my feelings, would deprive me even of

[15106] an old testament? Only Paddy was passing there, I tell you what. Then

[15120] —Fortune, Joe, says I. Good health, citizen.

[15131] —I won’t mention any names, says Alf.

[15133] —I thought so, says Joe. I saw him up at that meeting now with William

[15164] —Are you sure, says Bloom, the councillor is going? I wanted to see

[15169] —That’s too bad, says Bloom. I wanted particularly. Perhaps only Mr

[15170] Field is going. I couldn’t phone. No. You’re sure?

[15177] my honourable friend, the member for Shillelagh, may I ask the right

[15184] house. I feel I cannot usefully add anything to that. The answer to the

[15197] Mr Allfours: I must have notice of that question.

[15213] time I was as good as the next fellow anyhow.

[15225] exercise was bad. I declare to my antimacassar if you took up a straw

[15272] M’Manus, V. G.; the rev. B. R. Slattery, O. M. I.; the very rev. M.

[15282] —I heard So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says Alf.

[15288] —What I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training

[15340] —He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf. I hear he’s

[15350] —My wife? says Bloom. She’s singing, yes. I think it will be a

[15355] Hoho begob says I to myself says I. That explains the milk in the

[15359] fight the Boers. Old Whatwhat. I called about the poor and water rate,

[15402] where no-one would know him in the private office when I was there with

[15404] Dunne, says he. Ay, and done says I. Gob, he’ll come home by weeping

[15405] cross one of those days, I’m thinking.

[15416] —Ten thousand pounds, says Alf, laughing. God, I’d give anything to

[15439] —Still, says Bloom, on account of the poor woman, I mean his wife.

[15446] —Half and half I mean, says the citizen. A fellow that’s neither

[15451] —That what’s I mean, says the citizen. A pishogue, if you know what

[15454] Begob I saw there was trouble coming. And Bloom explaining he meant on

[15522] immediately, sir. No, sir, I’ll make no order for payment. How

[15524] hardworking industrious man! I dismiss the case.

[15575] —O, I’m sure that will be all right, Hynes, says Bloom. It’s just

[15599] —Give us a squint at her, says I.

[15611] —There’s hair, Joe, says I. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef

[15646] —They’re not European, says the citizen. I was in Europe with Kevin

[15664] —What’s up with you, says I to Lenehan. You look like a fellow that

[15679] —I had half a crown myself, says Terry, on Zinfandel that Mr Flynn

[15725] I was reading a report of lord Castletown’s...

[15812] —I’ll tell you what about it, says the citizen. Hell upon earth it

[15853] —But, says Bloom, isn’t discipline the same everywhere. I mean

[15856] Didn’t I tell you? As true as I’m drinking this porter if he was at

[15897] Jesus, I had to laugh at the way he came out with that about the old one

[15923] —Yes, sir, says he. I will.

[15927] —Beholden to you, Joe, says I. May your shadow never grow less.

[15946] —By God, then, says Ned, laughing, if that’s so I’m a nation for

[15947] I’m living in the same place for the past five years.

[15956] —What is your nation if I may ask? says the citizen.

[15958] —Ireland, says Bloom. I was born here. Ireland.

[15998] —Show us over the drink, says I. Which is which?

[16002] —And I belong to a race too, says Bloom, that is hated and persecuted.

[16013] —I’m talking about injustice, says Bloom.

[16029] —Love, says Bloom. I mean the opposite of hatred. I must go now, says

[16031] there. If he comes just say I’ll be back in a second. Just a moment.

[16053] —Well, Joe, says I, your very good health and song. More power,

[16095] —Widow woman, says Ned. I wouldn’t doubt her. Wonder did he put that

[16096] bible to the same use as I would.

[16120] —I know where he’s gone, says Lenehan, cracking his fingers.

[14573] —Who? says I.

[16130] —That’s where he’s gone, says Lenehan. I met Bantam Lyons going to

[16131] back that horse only I put him off it and he told me Bloom gave him the

[16137] —Mind, Joe, says I. Show us the entrance out.

[16141] Goodbye Ireland I’m going to Gort. So I just went round the back of

[16142] the yard to pumpship and begob (hundred shillings to five) while I was

[16143] letting off my (Throwaway twenty to) letting off my load gob says I

[16144] to myself I knew he was uneasy in his (two pints off of Joe and one in

[16150] he won or (Jesus, full up I was) trading without a licence (ow!)

[16154] So anyhow when I got back they were at it dingdong, John Wyse saying it

[16194] larder. I know not what to offer your lordships.

[16204] house I warrant me.

[16225] —Isn’t that a fact, says John Wyse, what I was telling the citizen

[16232] —I, says Joe. I’m the alligator.

[16263] be their Messiah. And every jew is in a tall state of excitement, I

[16269] his that died was born. I met him one day in the south city markets

[16276] —I wonder did he ever put it out of sight, says Joe.

[16285] I’m telling you? It’d be an act of God to take a hold of a fellow

[16295] Virag from Hungary! Ahasuerus I call him. Cursed by God.

[16312] —And I’m sure He will, says Joe.

[16404] I was just looking around to see who the happy thought would strike when

[16407] —I was just round at the courthouse, says he, looking for you. I hope

[16408] I’m not...

[16450] But begob I was just lowering the heel of the pint when I saw the

[16493] —By Jesus, says he, I’ll brain that bloody jewman for using the holy

[16496] By Jesus, I’ll crucify him so I will. Give us that biscuitbox here.

[16536] —Where is he till I murder him?

[16540] —Bloody wars, says I, I’ll be in for the last gospel.

[16592] I. A., B. L., Mus. Doc., P. L. G., F. T. C. D., F. R. U. I., F. R. C. P.

[16593] I. and F. R. C. S. I.

[16602] —Did I kill him, says he, or what?

[16611] Hundred to five! Jesus, he took the value of it out of him, I promise

13. Nausicaa

[16658] —Now, baby, Cissy Caffrey said. Say out big, big. I want a drink of

[16690] Jacky, for shame to throw poor Tommy in the dirty sand. Wait till I

[16719] —I know, Edy Boardman said none too amiably with an arch glance from

[16720] her shortsighted eyes. I know who is Tommy’s sweetheart. Gerty is

[16931] —I’d like to give him something, she said, so I would, where I

[16943] her nose. Give it to him too on the same place as quick as I’d look at

[17236] I was only wondering was it late.

[17245] —Wait, said Cissy, I’ll run ask my uncle Peter over there what’s

[17306] flashed up. I can throw my cap at who I like because it’s leap year.

[17521] in a woman. But makes them polite. Glad I didn’t know it when she was

[17522] on show. Hot little devil all the same. I wouldn’t mind. Curiosity

[17524] delicate. Near her monthlies, I expect, makes them feel ticklish. I have

[17525] such a bad headache today. Where did I put the letter? Yes, all right.

[17527] that nun told me liked to smell rock oil. Virgins go mad in the end I

[17530] menstruate at the same time with the same moon, I mean? Depends on the

[17531] time they were born I suppose. Or all start scratch then get out of

[17532] step. Sometimes Molly and Milly together. Anyhow I got the best of that.

[17533] Damned glad I didn’t do it in the bath this morning over her silly I

[17544] inside her déshabillé. Excites them also when they’re. I’m all

[17547] all on to take them all off. Molly. Why I bought her the violet garters.

[17562] write to me. And I’ll write to you. Now won’t you? Molly and Josie

[17577] plants I read in a garden. Besides they say if the flower withers she

[17578] wears she’s a flirt. All are. Daresay she felt I. When you feel like

[17582] Trousers? Suppose I when I was? No. Gently does it. Dislike rough and

[17584] what. Sooner have me as I am than some poet chap with bearsgrease

[17588] marrying. Beauty and the beast. Besides I can’t be so if Molly.

[17591] smell. Hair strong in rut. Ten bob I got for Molly’s combings when we

[17594] What? I think so. All that for nothing. Bold hand: Mrs Marion. Did

[17595] I forget to write address on that letter like the postcard I sent to

[17596] Flynn? And the day I went to Drimmie’s without a necktie. Wrangle

[17597] with Molly it was put me off. No, I remember. Richie Goulding: he’s

[17614] Little sweetheart come and kiss me. Still, I feel. The strength it gives

[17615] a man. That’s the secret of it. Good job I let off there behind the

[17616] wall coming out of Dignam’s. Cider that was. Otherwise I couldn’t

[17617] have. Makes you want to sing after. Lacaus esant taratara. Suppose I

[17622] for it: good evening. O but the dark evening in the Appian way I nearly

[17624] night. All the dirty things I made her say. All wrong of course. My

[17627] kissed my hand when I gave her the extra two shillings. Parrots. Press

[17634] the trouble. But might happen sometime, I don’t think. Come in, all is

[17635] prepared. I dreamt. What? Worst is beginning. How they change the venue

[17638] when he changed his mind and stopped. Yet if I went the whole hog, say:

[17639] I want to, something like that. Because I did. She too. Offend her.

[17656] And the dark one with the mop head and the nigger mouth. I knew she

[17659] telling me the right time? I’ll tell you the right time up a dark

[17667] not so much the pupil. Did she know what I? Course. Like a cat sitting

[17673] lives. Sharp as needles they are. When I said to Molly the man at the

[17677] understandings. Handed down from father to, mother to daughter, I mean.

[17680] eye on a mirror. And when I sent her for Molly’s Paisley shawl to

[17681] Prescott’s by the way that ad I must, carrying home the change in her

[17682] stocking! Clever little minx. I never told her. Neat way she carries

[17689] like the other. Still she was game. Lord, I am wet. Devil you are. Swell

[17698] I saw, your. I saw all.

[17707] I will tell you all. Still it was a kind of language between us. It

[17713] Place made me think of that I suppose. All tarred with the same brush.

[17715] it understood. Every bullet has its billet. Course I never could throw

[17726] was in the Coffee Palace. That young doctor O’Hare I noticed her

[17731] was I drunk last night? Bad policy however to fault the husband.

[17753] influence between the person because that was about the time he. Yes, I

[17754] suppose, at once. Cat’s away, the mice will play. I remember looking

[17770] Fine voice that fellow had. How Giuglini began. Smell that I did. Like

[17774] kick the beam, I think. Keep that thing up for hours. Kind of a general

[17777] Wait. Hm. Hm. Yes. That’s her perfume. Why she waved her hand. I leave

[17778] you this to think of me when I’m far away on the pillow. What is it?

[17779] Heliotrope? No. Hyacinth? Hm. Roses, I think. She’d like scent of that

[17786] too. Why did I smell it only now? Took its time in coming like herself,

[17809] that. No. Mansmell, I mean. Must be connected with that because priests

[17819] O by the by that lotion. I knew there was something on my mind. Never

[17821] this morning. Hynes might have paid me that three shillings. I

[17824] How much do I owe you? Three and nine? Two and nine, sir. Ah. Might stop

[17854] star I see. Venus? Can’t tell yet. Two. When three it’s night. Were

[17865] know how nice you looked. I begin to like them at that age. Green

[17871] Dillon’s garden where I kissed her shoulder. Wish I had a full length

[17872] oilpainting of her then. June that was too I wooed. The year returns.

[17873] History repeats itself. Ye crags and peaks I’m with you once again.

[17879] rhododendrons. I am a fool perhaps. He gets the plums, and I the

[17880] plumstones. Where I come in. All that old hill has seen. Names change:

[17883] Tired I feel now. Will I get up? O wait. Drained all the manhood out of

[17886] same. Like kids your second visit to a house. The new I want. Nothing

[17892] I an only child. So it returns. Think you’re escaping and run into

[17896] cockles and periwinkles. Then I did Rip van Winkle coming back. She

[17901] Ba. What is that flying about? Swallow? Bat probably. Thinks I’m a

[17906] out, I suppose. Mass seems to be over. Could hear them all at it. Pray

[17910] in the valuation when I was in Thom’s. Twentyeight it is. Two houses

[17927] a burning glass in the sun. Archimedes. I have it! My memory’s not so

[17982] But being lost they fear. When we hid behind the tree at Crumlin. I

[17984] masks too. Throwing them up in the air to catch them. I’ll murder you.

[17987] troubles wildfire and nettlerash. Calomel purge I got her for that.

[17990] umbrella. Perhaps so as not to hurt. I felt her pulse. Ticking. Little

[17992] touch. Loved to count my waistcoat buttons. Her first stays I remember.

[17994] sensitive, I think. Mine too. Nearer the heart? Padding themselves out

[18001] like this, but clear, no clouds. I always thought I’d marry a lord or

[18009] see. Hope she’s over. Long day I’ve had. Martha, the bath, funeral,

[18012] what I said about his God made him wince. Mistake to hit back. Or? No.

[18023] Widows as I promised. Strange name. Takes it for granted we’re going

[18027] wheedle her way along. Widower I hate to see. Looks so forlorn. Poor man

[18037] Suppose she does? Would I like her in pyjamas? Damned hard to answer.

[18044] go. Better. I’m tired to move. Page of an old copybook. All those

[18052] Will I?

[18057] I.

[18063] meaning of that other world. I called you naughty boy because I do not

[18080] Short snooze now if I had. Must be near nine. Liverpool boat long gone.

[18081] Not even the smoke. And she can do the other. Did too. And Belfast. I

[20301] somebody won’t like that. O just wait till I see Molly! (Slily.)

[20319] There’s someone in the house, I know,

[20331] BLOOM: For old sake’ sake. I only meant a square party, a mixed

[20433] But you must never tell. Not even Molly. I have a most particular

[20696] a hatchet. I am wrongfully accused. Better one guilty escape than

[20700] Peggy Griffin. He wrote to me that he was miserable. I’ll tell my

[20709] BLOOM: Gentlemen of the jury, let me explain. A pure mare’s nest. I am

[20710] a man misunderstood. I am being made a scapegoat of. I am a respectable

[20711] married man, without a stain on my character. I live in Eccles street.

[21050] THE HONOURABLE MRS MERVYN TALBOYS: Very much so! I’ll make it hot for

[21051] you. I’ll make you dance Jack Latten for that.

[21059] BLOOM: All these people. I meant only the spanking idea. A warm tingling

[22627] LYNCH: I hope you gave the good father a penance. Nine glorias for

[22694] heart, mine love. (He plucks his lutestrings.) When first I saw...

[22698] push of his parchmentroll.) After having said which I took my departure.

[22726] FLORRY: (To Stephen.) I’m sure you’re a spoiled priest. Or a monk.

[22760] I’m suffering the agony of the damned. By the hoky fiddle, thanks

[22787] I’m very fond of what I like.

[22803] KITTY: (Chewing.) The engineer I was with at the bazaar does have lovely

[22805] lady. The gas we had on the Toft’s hobbyhorses. I’m giddy still.

[22811] his right arm downwards from his left shoulder.) Go, go, go, I conjure

[22824] BLOOM: (Takes the chocolate.) Aphrodisiac? Tansy and pennyroyal. But I

[22828] Influence taste too, mauve. But it is so long since I. Seems new. Aphro.

[22839] BELLA: My word! I’m all of a mucksweat.

[22845] THE FAN: (Flirting quickly, then slowly.) Married, I see.

[22847] BLOOM: Yes. Partly, I have mislaid...

[22870] BLOOM: (Cowed.) Exuberant female. Enormously I desiderate your

[22871] domination. I am exhausted, abandoned, no more young. I stand, so to

[22875] second according to the law of falling bodies. I have felt this instant

[22888] BLOOM: (Undecided.) All now? I should not have parted with my talisman.

[22899] BLOOM: (With desire, with reluctance.) I can make a true black knot.

[22900] Learned when I served my time and worked the mail order line for

[22902] courtesy. I knelt once before today. Ah!

[22913] Raymonde I visited daily to admire her cobweb hose and stick of rhubarb

[22920] THE HOOF: If you bungle, Handy Andy, I’ll kick your football for you.

[22922] BLOOM: Not to lace the wrong eyelet as I did the night of the bazaar

[22965] BLOOM: (Enthralled, bleats.) I promise never to disobey.

[22968] for you. I’m the Tartar to settle your little lot and break you in!

[22969] I’ll bet Kentucky cocktails all round I shame it out of you, old

[22970] son. Cheek me, I dare you. If you do tremble in anticipation of heel

[22985] BELLO: (Coaxingly.) Come, ducky dear, I want a word with you, darling,

[22988] (Bello grabs her hair violently and drags her forward.) I only want to

[22995] hook, the knout I’ll make you kiss while the flutes play like the

[22996] Nubian slave of old. You’re in for it this time! I’ll make you

[22998] swollen, his face congested.) I shall sit on your ottoman saddleback

[23001] suck my thumping good Stock Exchange cigar while I read the Licensed

[23002] Victualler’s Gazette. Very possibly I shall have you slaughtered and

[23016] bit of news I heard these six weeks. Here, don’t keep me waiting, damn

[23019] BLOOM: (Whimpers.) You’re after hitting me. I’ll tell...

[23021] BELLO: Hold him down, girls, till I squat on him.

[23023] ZOE: Yes. Walk on him! I will.

[23025] FLORRY: I will. Don’t be greedy.

[23034] MRS KEOGH: (Ferociously.) Can I help? (They hold and pinion Bloom.)

[23037] cigarsmoke, nursing a fat leg.) I see Keating Clay is elected

[23051] Banbury cross. I’ll ride him for the Eclipse stakes. (He bends

[23053] Ho! Off we pop! I’ll nurse you in proper fashion. (He horserides

[23058] FLORRY: (Pulls at Bello.) Let me on him now. You had enough. I asked

[23066] BELLO: Well, I’m not. Wait. (He holds in his breath.) Curse it. Here.

[23079] BLOOM: (Shrinks.) Silk, mistress said! O crinkly! scrapy! Must I

[23095] male hands and nose, leering mouth.) I tried her things on only twice,

[23096] a small prank, in Holles street. When we were hard up I washed them to

[23097] save the laundry bill. My own shirts I turned. It was the purest thrift.

[23102] eh? Ho! ho! I have to laugh! That secondhand black operatop shift and

[23119] be a true corsetlover when I was female impersonator in the High School

[23129] And really it’s better the position... because often I used to wet...

[23132] for you. I gave you strict instructions, didn’t I? Do it standing,

[23133] sir! I’ll teach you to behave like a jinkleman! If I catch a trace

[23134] on your swaddles. Aha! By the ass of the Dorans you’ll find I’m a

[23160] BLOOM: Don’t ask me! Our mutual faith. Pleasants street. I only

[23161] thought the half of the... I swear on my sacred oath...

[23163] BELLO: (Peremptorily.) Answer. Repugnant wretch! I insist on knowing.

[23166] many? I give you just three seconds. One! Two! Thr...

[23196] the wedding to fondle my new attraction in gilded heels. First I’ll

[23197] have a go at you myself. A man I know on the turf named Charles Alberta

[23198] Marsh (I was in bed with him just now and another gentleman out of the

[23220] I had only my gold piercer here! And quite easy to milk. Three newlaid

[23241] forefinger in mouth.) O, I know what you’re hinting at now!

[23253] BELLO: (Sarcastically.) I wouldn’t hurt your feelings for the world

[23257] all over it. He shot his bolt, I can tell you! Foot to foot, knee to

[23264] BLOOM: I was indecently treated, I... Inform the police. Hundred pounds.

[23265] Unmentionable. I...

[23303] BLOOM: They... I...

[23313] BLOOM: Ten and six. The act of low scoundrels. Let me go. I will return.

[23314] I will prove...

[23329] grace about you. I can give you a rare old wine that’ll send you

[23333] old Cuck Cohen, my stepnephew I married, the bloody old gouty procurator

[23339] BLOOM: (Clasps his head.) My willpower! Memory! I have sinned! I have

[23371] with dignity.) This position. I felt it was expected of me. Force of

[23377] act, the hit of the century. I was hidden in cheap pink paper that smelt

[23378] of rock oil. I was surrounded by the stale smut of clubmen, stories to

[23387] aristocracy. Corsets for men. I cure fits or money refunded. Unsolicited

[23393] THE NYMPH: I do. You bore me away, framed me in oak and tinsel, set me

[23399] immortal, I was glad to look on you, to praise you, a thing of beauty,

[23402] THE NYMPH: During dark nights I heard your praise.

[23404] BLOOM: (Quickly.) Yes, yes. You mean that I... Sleep reveals the worst

[23405] side of everyone, children perhaps excepted. I know I fell out of bed

[23407] there is that English invention, pamphlet of which I received some days

[23418] THE NYMPH: (Covers her face with her hands.) What have I not seen in

[23421] BLOOM: (Apologetically.) I know. Soiled personal linen, wrong side up

[23456] badge.) I was in my teens, a growing boy. A little then sufficed,

[23472] snowballs, struggles to rise.) Again! I feel sixteen! What a lark!

[23493] BLOOM: I was precocious. Youth. The fauna. I sacrificed to the god of

[23496] flaxenhaired, I saw at her night toilette through illclosed curtains

[23499] She climbed their crooked tree and I... A saint couldn’t resist it.

[23508] BLOOM: Simply satisfying a need I... (With pathos.) No girl would when I

[23533] epitaph be written. I have...

[23543] BLOOM: (Pawing the heather abjectly.) O, I have been a perfect pig.

[23544] Enemas too I have administered. One third of a pint of quassia to

[23551] BLOOM: (Dejected.) Yes. Peccavi! I have paid homage on that living altar

[23627] yourselves. No jerks and multiple mucosities all over you. I tried it.

[23629] the nail? You fee mendancers on the Riviera, I read. (The fleeing nymph

[23630] raises a keen.) Eh? I have sixteen years of black slave labour behind

[23642] dimensions of your other features, that’s all. I’m not a triple

[23652] BELLA: I know you, canvasser! Dead cod!

[23654] BLOOM: I saw him, kipkeeper! Pox and gleet vendor!

[23679] BLOOM: There is a memory attached to it. I should like to have it.

[23693] STEPHEN: (With exaggerated politeness.) This silken purse I made out of

[23751] BELLA: (Admiringly.) You’re such a slyboots, old cocky. I could kiss

[23772] BLOOM: I will but is it wise? (He counts.) One, seven, eleven, and five.

[23773] Six. Eleven. I don’t answer for what you may have lost.

[23812] BLOOM: Don’t smoke. You ought to eat. Cursed dog I met. (To Zoe.) You

[23823] ZOE: (Tragically.) Hamlet, I am thy father’s gimlet! (She takes

[23824] his hand.) Blue eyes beauty I’ll read your hand. (She points to his

[23831] ZOE: (Turns.) Ask my ballocks that I haven’t got. (To Stephen.) I see

[23845] DON JOHN CONMEE: Now, Father Dolan! Now. I’m sure that Stephen is a

[23850] STEPHEN: (Murmurs.) Continue. Lie. Hold me. Caress. I never could read

[23863] abruptly.) I won’t tell you what’s not good for you. Or do you want

[23869] BELLA: Show. (She turns up Bloom’s hand.) I thought so. Knobby

[23877] ZOE: (Quickly.) O, I see. Short little finger. Henpecked husband. That

[23888] cut it twentytwo years ago. I was sixteen.

[23890] ZOE: I see, says the blind man. Tell us news.

[23892] STEPHEN: See? Moves to one great goal. I am twentytwo. Sixteen years ago

[23893] he was twentytwo too. Sixteen years ago I twentytwo tumbled. Twentytwo

[23922] LENEHAN: Ho! What do I here behold? Were you brushing the cobwebs off a

[23941] and powdered wig.) I’m afraid not, sir. The last articles...

[23945] in. I have a little private business with your wife, you understand?

[23950] out of the water.) Raoul darling, come and dry me. I’m in my pelt.

[23959] MARION: Let him look, the pishogue! Pimp! And scourge himself! I’ll

[23964] BOYLAN: (Clasps himself.) Here, I can’t hold this little lot much

[23970] keyhole and play with yourself while I just go through her a few times.

[23972] BLOOM: Thank you, sir. I will, sir. May I bring two men chums to witness

[24013] BLOOM: (Smiles yellowly at the three whores.) When will I hear the joke?

[24100] STEPHEN: (Mincingly.) I love you, sir darling. Speak you englishman

[24108] STEPHEN: Mark me. I dreamt of a watermelon.

[24122] STEPHEN: No, I flew. My foes beneath me. And ever shall be. World

[24125] BLOOM: I say, look...

[24162] I’ll give ten to one!

[24199] Yet I’ve a sort of a

[24271] CAVALIERS: May I touch your?

[24300] ZOE: I’m giddy!

[24393] THE MOTHER: (With the subtle smile of death’s madness.) I was once the

[24394] beautiful May Goulding. I am dead.

[24408] STEPHEN: (Choking with fright, remorse and horror.) They say I killed

[24409] you, mother. He offended your memory. Cancer did it, not I. Destiny.

[24424] THE MOTHER: I pray for you in my other world. Get Dilly to make you that

[24425] boiled rice every night after your brainwork. Years and years I loved

[24428] ZOE: (Fanning herself with the grate fan.) I’m melting!

[24459] STEPHEN: No! No! No! Break my spirit, all of you, if you can! I’ll

[24522] BLOOM: O, I know. Bulldog on the premises. But he’s a Trinity student.

[24524] a masonic sign.) Know what I mean? Nephew of the vicechancellor. You

[24528] and paying nothing. Are you my commander here or? Where is he? I’ll

[24529] charge him! Disgrace him, I will! (She shouts.) Zoe! Zoe!

[24531] BLOOM: (Urgently.) And if it were your own son in Oxford? (Warningly.) I

[24539] That’s for the chimney. Where? I need mountain air.

[24603] VOICES: No, he didn’t. I seen him. The girl there. He was in Mrs

[24606] CISSY CAFFREY: I was in company with the soldiers and they left me to

[24607] do—you know, and the young man run up behind me. But I’m faithful to

[24608] the man that’s treating me though I’m only a shilling whore.

[24628] STEPHEN: (To Private Compton.) I don’t know your name but you are

[24632] CISSY CAFFREY: (To the crowd.) No, I was with the privates.

[24638] governor, if I was to bash in your jaw?

[24641] selfpretence. Personally, I detest action. (He waves his hand.) Hand

[24654] STEPHEN: (Turns.) Eh? (He disengages himself.) Why should I not speak to

[24656] points his finger.) I’m not afraid of what I can talk to if I see his

[24663] STEPHEN: (Laughs emptily.) My centre of gravity is displaced. I have

[24667] brow.) But in here it is I must kill the priest and the king.

[24672] CUNTY KATE: I did. I heard that.

[24703] STEPHEN: (Nervous, friendly, pulls himself up.) I understand your point

[24704] of view though I have no king myself for the moment. This is the age of

[24707] Carr’s sleeve.) Not that I wish it for you. But I say: Let my country

[24708] die for me. Up to the present it has done so. I didn’t want it to die.

[24715] To make the blind see I throw dust in their eyes.

[24723] Taken a little more than is good for him. Absinthe. Greeneyed monster. I

[24729] PRIVATE CARR: I don’t give a bugger who he is.

[24733] STEPHEN: I seem to annoy them. Green rag to a bull.

[24751] STEPHEN: (Swaying.) I don’t avoid it. He provokes my intelligence.

[24774] I bear no hate to a living thing,

[24775] But I love my country beyond the king.

[24795] RUMBOLD: I’m near it myself. (He undoes the noose.) Rope which hanged

[24811] brutish empire of his. Money I haven’t. (He searches his pockets

[24816] STEPHEN: (Tries to move off.) Will someone tell me where I am least

[24818] that I... But, by Saint Patrick...!

[24824] STEPHEN: Aha! I know you, gammer! Hamlet, revenge! The old sow that eats

[24832] STEPHEN: How do I stand you? The hat trick! Where’s the third person

[24839] PRIVATE CARR: (Tugging at his belt.) I’ll wring the neck of any fucker

[24852] STEPHEN: Did I? When?

[24870] PRIVATE CARR: I’ll do him in.

[24890] PRIVATE CARR: (Loosening his belt, shouts.) I’ll wring the neck of any

[24897] CISSY CAFFREY: (Alarmed, seizes Private Carr’s sleeve.) Amn’t I with

[24898] you? Amn’t I your girl? Cissy’s your girl. (She cries.) Police!

[24974] PRIVATE CARR: (With ferocious articulation.) I’ll do him in, so help

[24975] me fucking Christ! I’ll wring the bastard fucker’s bleeding blasted

[24999] insulted me but I forgive him. (Shouting in his ear.) I forgive him for

[25004] PRIVATE CARR: (Breaks loose.) I’ll insult him.

[25043] BLOOM: (Glances sharply at the man.) Leave him to me. I can easily...

[25049] BLOOM: (Angrily.) You hit him without provocation. I’m a witness.

[25052] SECOND WATCH: I don’t want your instructions in the discharge of my

[25059] He’s a whitearsed bugger. I don’t give a shit for him.

[25063] BLOOM: (Peering over the crowd.) I just see a car there. If you give me

[25077] I know him. Won a bit on the races. Gold cup. Throwaway. (He laughs.)

[25089] FIRST WATCH: (Laughs.) I suppose so.

[25097] CORNY KELLEHER: (Winking.) Boys will be boys. I’ve a car round there.

[25101] CORNY KELLEHER: I’ll see to that.

[25108] FIRST WATCH: O. I understand, sir.

[25112] FIRST WATCH: It was only in case of corporal injuries I’d have to

[25130] jolly girls. So I landed them up on Behan’s car and down to nighttown.

[25132] BLOOM: I was just going home by Gardiner street when I happened to...

[25135] No, by God, says I. Not for old stagers like myself and yourself. (He

[25139] BLOOM: (Tries to laugh.) He, he, he! Yes. Matter of fact I was just

[25142] and I was just making my way home...

[25149] left the two commercials in Mrs Cohen’s and I told him to pull up and

[25150] got off to see. (He laughs.) Sober hearsedrivers a speciality. Will I

[25153] BLOOM: No, in Sandycove, I believe, from what he let drop.

[25162] BLOOM: No, no, no. I have his money and his hat here and stick.

[25165] I’ll shove along. (He laughs.) I’ve a rendezvous in the morning.

[25170] BLOOM: Good night. I’ll just wait and take him along in a few...

[25221] In the shady wood. The deep white breast. Ferguson, I think I caught.

[25223] that I will always hail, ever conceal, never reveal, any part or parts,

16. Eumaeus

[25428] —I wouldn’t ask you only, pursued he, on my solemn oath and God

[25429] knows I’m on the rocks.

[25435] —Ah, God, Corley replied, sure I couldn’t teach in a school, man.

[25436] I was never one of your bright ones, he added with a half laugh. I got

[25439] —I have no place to sleep myself, Stephen informed him.

[25479] —Thanks, Corley answered, you’re a gentleman. I’ll pay you back

[25480] one time. Who’s that with you? I saw him a few times in the Bleeding

[25482] good word for us to get me taken on there. I’d carry a sandwichboard

[25485] the Carl Rosa. I don’t give a shite anyway so long as I get a job,

[25532] did you part with, he queried, if I am not too inquisitive?

[25534] —Half a crown, Stephen responded. I daresay he needs it to sleep

[25538] the intelligence, I can quite credit the assertion and I guarantee he

[25543] occurred at Westland Row station. Simply fag out there for nothing. I

[25549] —I met your respected father on a recent occasion, Mr Bloom

[25551] yesterday. Where does he live at present? I gathered in the course of

[25554] —I believe he is in Dublin somewhere, Stephen answered unconcernedly.

[25580] —No, Mr Bloom repeated again, I wouldn’t personally repose much

[25582] element, Dr Mulligan, as a guide, philosopher and friend if I were in

[25585] course you didn’t notice as much as I did. But it wouldn’t occasion

[25621] —Puttana madonna, che ci dia i quattrini! Ho ragione? Culo rotto!

[25661] —A beautiful language. I mean for singing purposes. Why do you not

[25709] —I’ve heard of him, Stephen said.

[25724] —I seen him shoot two eggs off two bottles at fifty yards over his

[25759] toured the wide world with Hengler’s Royal Circus. I seen him do that

[25770] That’s where I hails from. I belongs there. That’s where I hails

[25771] from. My little woman’s down there. She’s waiting for me, I know.

[25772] For England, home and beauty. She’s my own true wife I haven’t seen

[25786] but I’ve come to stay and make a fresh start. There she sits, a

[25793] and bear it. I remain with much love your brokenhearted husband W. B.

[25811] from Bridgwater with bricks. I shipped to get over. Paid off this

[25820] —Why, the sailor answered upon reflection upon it, I’ve

[25821] circumnavigated a bit since I first joined on. I was in the Red Sea.

[25822] I was in China and North America and South America. We was chased by

[25823] pirates one voyage. I seen icebergs plenty, growlers. I was in Stockholm

[25825] man that ever scuttled a ship. I seen Russia. Gospodi pomilyou. That’s

[25830] —Why, the sailor said, shifting his partially chewed plug. I seen

[25831] queer things too, ups and downs. I seen a crocodile bite the fluke of an

[25832] anchor same as I chew that quid.

[25837] —Khaan! Like that. And I seen maneaters in Peru that eats corpses and

[25904] on the job, witness Mrs C P M’Coy type lend me your valise and I’ll

[25920] average man, i.e. Brown, Robinson and Co.

[25955] —I seen a Chinese one time, related the doughty narrator, that had

[25964] —And I seen a man killed in Trieste by an Italian chap. Knife in his

[26027] —I’m tired of all them rocks in the sea, he said, and boats and

[26064] gentleman’s valet at six quid a month. Them are his trousers I’ve

[26065] on me and he gave me an oilskin and that jackknife. I’m game for that

[26066] job, shaving and brushup. I hate roaming about. There’s my son now,

[26076] Danny? He’d be about eighteen now, way I figure it.

[26084] I must get a wash tomorrow or next day. It’s them black lads I objects

[26085] to. I hate those buggers. Suck your blood dry, they does.

[26158] —It beats me, Mr Bloom confided to Stephen, medically I am speaking,

[26162] course I suppose some man is ultimately responsible for her condition.

[26185] cup. I believe in that myself because it has been explained by competent

[26193] therefore incorruptible. It would be immortal, I understand, but for the

[26194] possibility of its annihilation by its First Cause Who, from all I

[26204] —Simple? I shouldn’t think that is the proper word. Of course, I

[26222] original point with a smile of unbelief. I’m not so sure about that.

[26224] sectarian side of the business, I beg to differ with you in toto there.

[26229] than I, of course I needn’t tell you. Can’t you drink that coffee,

[26263] —Still it’s solid food, his good genius urged, I’m a stickler for

[26269] —Liquids I can eat, Stephen said. But O, oblige me by taking away

[26270] that knife. I can’t look at the point of it. It reminds me of Roman

[26310] —Mind you, I’m not saying that it’s all a pure invention, he

[26313] the midget queen. In those waxworks in Henry street I myself saw

[26344] (technically) Spain, i.e. Gibraltar. She has the Spanish type. Quite

[26345] dark, regular brunette, black. I for one certainly believe climate

[26346] accounts for character. That’s why I asked you if you wrote your

[26360] the blood of the sun. Coincidence I just happened to be in the Kildare

[26361] street museum today, shortly prior to our meeting if I can so call it,

[26362] and I was just looking at those antique statues there. The splendid

[26365] way you find but what I’m talking about is the female form. Besides

[26368] it may be, possibly is, a foible of mine but still it’s a thing I

[26451] —Am I right, skipper? he queried of the sailor, now returning after

[26580] whole eventempered person declared, I let slip. He called me a jew and

[26581] in a heated fashion offensively. So I without deviating from plain facts

[26582] in the least told him his God, I mean Christ, was a jew too and all his

[26583] family like me though in reality I’m not. That was one for him. A

[26585] everyone saw. Am I not right?

[26601] I resent violence and intolerance in any shape or form. It never

[26627] of ruining. Not a vestige of truth in it, I can safely say. History,

[26632] spirit. They are practical and are proved to be so. I don’t want to

[26638] they’d try to live better, at least so I think. That’s the juggle on

[26639] which the p.p.’s raise the wind on false pretences. I’m, he resumed

[26640] with dramatic force, as good an Irishman as that rude person I told you

[26641] about at the outset and I want to see everyone, concluded he, all

[26646] that’s my idea for what it’s worth. I call that patriotism. Ubi

[26664] —I mean, of course, the other hastened to affirm, work in the widest

[26668] I know of you, after all the money expended on your education you are

[26674] —You suspect, Stephen retorted with a sort of a half laugh, that I

[26675] may be important because I belong to the faubourg Saint Patrice called

[26960] Stephen, about blood and the sun. And, if I don’t greatly mistake she

[26969] means, I never heard that rumour before. Possible, especially there, it

[27028] out. Suppose she was gone when he? I looked for the lamp which she told

[30620] would look at her twice I hope Ill never be like her a wonder she didnt

[30622] and her gabby talk about Mr Riordan here and Mr Riordan there I suppose

[30624] edging to get up under my petticoats especially then still I like that

[30628] hospital where everything is clean but I suppose Id have to dring it

[30635] the choir party at the sugarloaf Mountain the day I wore that dress

[30640] a bit grown in the bed father was the same besides I hate bandaging and

[30642] get bloodpoisoning but if it was a thing I was sick then wed see what

[30647] made up a pack of lies to hide it planning it Hynes kept me who did I

[30648] meet ah yes I met do you remember Menton and who else who let me see

[30649] that big babbyface I saw him and he not long married flirting with a

[30653] all the big stupoes I ever met and thats called a solicitor only for

[30654] I hate having a long wrangle in bed or else if its not that its some

[30656] sly if they only knew him as well as I do yes because the day before

[30657] yesterday he was scribbling something a letter when I came into the

[30664] bottom was to hide it not that I care two straws now who he does it with

[30665] or knew before that way though Id like to find out so long as I dont

[30669] I had a suspicion by getting him to come near me when I found the

[30670] long hair on his coat without that one when I went into the kitchen

[30675] her aunt if you please common robbery so it was but I was sure he had

[30678] oysters but I told her what I thought of her suggesting me to go out to

[30679] be alone with her I wouldnt lower myself to spy on them the garters I

[30681] bit too much her face swelled up on her with temper when I gave her her

[30682] weeks notice I saw to that better do without them altogether do out the

[30684] I gave it to him anyhow either she or me leaves the house I couldnt even

[30685] touch him if I thought he was with a dirty barefaced liar and sloven

[30691] I just pressed the back of his like that with my thumb to squeeze back

[30696] same old hat unless I paid some nicelooking boy to do it since I cant do

[30699] red looking at him seduce him I know what boys feel with that down

[30702] coalman yes with a bishop yes I would because I told him about some dean

[30703] or bishop was sitting beside me in the jews temples gardens when I was

[30717] yourself I wish some man or other would take me sometime when hes there

[30719] your soul almost paralyses you then I hate that confession when I used

[30721] where and I said on the canal bank like a fool but whereabouts on your

[30725] way he put it I forget no father and I always think of the real father

[30726] what did he want to know for when I already confessed it to God he had

[30727] a nice fat hand the palm moist always I wouldnt mind feeling it neither

[30728] would he Id say by the bullneck in his horsecollar I wonder did he know

[30729] me in the box I could see his face he couldnt see mine of course hed

[30735] H the pope for a penance I wonder was he satisfied with me one thing I

[30737] though I laughed Im not a horse or an ass am I I suppose he was thinking

[30738] of his fathers I wonder is he awake thinking of me or dreaming am I in

[30743] opera hats I tasted once with my finger dipped out of that American that

[30746] port and potted meat it had a fine salty taste yes because I felt lovely

[30747] and tired myself and fell asleep as sound as a top the moment I popped

[30749] I thought the heavens were coming down about us to punish us when I

[30753] about nothing only make an act of contrition the candle I lit that

[30757] matter because he doesnt know what it is to have one yes when I lit the

[30759] brute of a thing he has I thought the vein or whatever the dickens they

[30760] call it was going to burst though his nose is not so big after I took

[30763] standing all the time he must have eaten oysters I think a few dozen he

[30764] was in great singing voice no I never in all my life felt anyone had

[30768] they want out of you with that determined vicious look in his eye I had

[30770] him when I made him pull out and do it on me considering how big it is

[30772] time I let him finish it in me nice invention they made for women for

[30774] themselves theyd know what I went through with Milly nobody would

[30779] it Jesusjack the child is a black the last time I was there a squad of

[30782] elephants or I dont know what supposing I risked having another not off

[30784] but I dont know Poldy has more spunk in him yes thatd be awfully jolly

[30785] I suppose it was meeting Josie Powell and the funeral and thinking about

[30787] do him any good I know they were spooning a bit when I came on the scene

[30793] everything I was fuming with myself after for giving in only for I knew

[30795] so much I couldnt put him into a temper still he knows a lot of mixedup

[30796] things especially about the body and the inside I often wanted to study

[30797] up that myself what we have inside us in that family physician I could

[30799] after that I pretended I had a coolness on with her over him because he

[30801] to and I said over to Floey and he made me the present of Byrons poems

[30802] and the three pairs of gloves so that finished that I could quite easily

[30803] get him to make it up any time I know how Id even supposing he got in

[30805] refused to eat the onions I know plenty of ways ask him to tuck down the

[30809] mad in love with him that I wouldnt so much mind Id just go to her and

[30812] plabbery kind of a manner like he did to me though I had the devils own

[30813] job to get it out of him though I liked him for that it showed he could

[30815] me too the night in the kitchen I was rolling the potato cake theres

[30816] something I want to say to you only for I put him off letting on I was

[30817] in a temper with my hands and arms full of pasty flour in any case I let

[30818] out too much the night before talking of dreams so I didnt want to let

[30821] when I said I washed up and down as far as possible asking me and did

[30825] spoils him I dont wonder in the least because he was very handsome at

[30826] that time trying to look like Lord Byron I said I liked though he

[30828] afterwards though she didnt like it so much the day I was in fits of

[30829] laughing with the giggles I couldnt stop about all my hairpins falling

[30830] out one after another with the mass of hair I had youre always in great

[30832] meant because I used to tell her a good bit of what went on between us

[30834] she didnt darken the door much after we were married I wonder what shes

[30836] face beginning to look drawn and run down the last time I saw her she

[30837] must have been just after a row with him because I saw on the moment she

[30851] put up with him the way I do know me come sleep with me yes and he knows

[30853] her husband for what I wonder in love with some other man yes it was

[30858] without us white Arsenic she put in his tea off flypaper wasnt it I

[30859] wonder why they call it that if I asked him hed say its from the Greek

[30866] noticed at once even before he was introduced when I was in the D B C

[30867] with Poldy laughing and trying to listen I was waggling my foot we both

[30868] ordered 2 teas and plain bread and butter I saw him looking with his

[30869] two old maids of sisters when I stood up and asked the girl where it was

[30870] what do I care with it dropping out of me and that black closed breeches

[30872] myself always with some brandnew fad every other week such a long one I

[30873] did I forgot my suede gloves on the seat behind that I never got after

[30876] Marion Bloom and I saw his eyes on my feet going out through the turning

[30877] door he was looking when I looked back and I went there for tea 2 days

[30878] after in the hope but he wasnt now how did that excite him because I was

[30880] that are too tight to walk in my hand is nice like that if I only had a

[30882] and a gold bracelet I dont like my foot so much still I made him spend

[30887] hed like me to walk in all the horses dung I could find but of course

[30888] hes not natural like the rest of the world that I what did he say I

[30890] mean I asked him I forget what he said because the stoppress edition

[30892] polite I think I saw his face before somewhere I noticed him when I was

[30893] tasting the butter so I took my time Bartell DArcy too that he used to

[30895] I sang Gounods Ave Maria what are we waiting for O my heart kiss me

[30898] you can believe him I liked the way he used his mouth singing then he

[30899] said wasnt it terrible to do that there in a place like that I dont see

[30907] me in the eye of my glove and I had to take it off asking me questions

[30908] is it permitted to enquire the shape of my bedroom so I let him keep it

[30909] as if I forgot it to think of me when I saw him slip it into his pocket

[30912] skirts blowing up to their navels even when Milly and I were out with

[30915] from behind following in the rain I saw him before he saw me however

[30921] they want to know where were you where are you going I could feel him

[30923] away from the house he felt it was getting too warm for him so I

[30924] halfturned and stopped then he pestered me to say yes till I took off my

[30927] the whole blessed time till I promised to give him the pair off my doll

[30931] I had on with the sunray pleats that there was nobody he said hed kneel

[30932] down in the wet if I didnt so persevering he would too and ruin his new

[30934] savage for it if anyone was passing so I lifted them a bit and touched

[30935] his trousers outside the way I used to Gardner after with my ring hand

[30936] to keep him from doing worse where it was too public I was dying to find

[30939] waiting all the time for his dinner he told me to say I left my purse in

[30943] asking me have I offended you with my eyelids down of course he saw I

[30945] always breaking or tearing something in the charades I hate an unlucky

[30946] man and if I knew what it meant of course I had to say no for form sake

[30947] dont understand you I said and wasnt it natural so it is of course

[30949] Gibraltar with that word I couldnt find anywhere only for children

[30951] a day I liked the way he made love then he knew the way to take a woman

[30952] when he sent me the 8 big poppies because mine was the 8th then I wrote

[30953] the night he kissed my heart at Dolphins barn I couldnt describe it

[30955] embrace well like Gardner I hope hell come on Monday as he said at the

[30956] same time four I hate people who come at all hours answer the door you

[31423] bloometh a few things I told him true about myself just for him to be

[31424] imagining the Spanish girls he didnt like I suppose one of them wouldnt

[31425] have him I got him excited he crushed all the flowers on my bosom he

[31426] brought me he couldnt count the pesetas and the perragordas till I

[31431] I told him it was struck by lightning and all about the old Barbary apes

[31435] he was looking at me I had that white blouse on open in the front to

[31436] encourage him as much as I could without too openly they were just

[31437] beginning to be plump I said I was tired we lay over the firtree cove

[31438] a wild place I suppose it must be the highest rock in existence the

[31445] doing that its the roundness there I was leaning over him with my white

[31447] best my blouse open for his last day transparent kind of shirt he had I

[31449] but I wouldnt let him he was awfully put out first for fear you never

[31451] Ines told me that one drop even if it got into you at all after I tried

[31452] with the Banana but I was afraid it might break and get lost up in me

[31458] off yes O yes I pulled him off into my handkerchief pretending not to

[31459] be excited but I opened my legs I wouldnt let him touch me inside my

[31460] petticoat because I had a skirt opening up the side I tormented the

[31461] life out of him first tickling him I loved rousing that dog in the hotel

[31463] shy all the same I liked him like that moaning I made him blush a little

[31464] when I got over him that way when I unbuttoned him and took his out and

[31467] what was his name Jack Joe Harry Mulvey was it yes I think a lieutenant

[31468] he was rather fair he had a laughing kind of a voice so I went round to

[31690] on to the bottom of her jacket she couldnt hide much from me I tell you

[31691] only I oughtnt to have stitched it and it on her it brings a parting and

[31695] I had to tell her not to cock her legs up like that on show on the

[31697] when I was her age of course any old rag looks well on you then a great

[31699] your foot away out of that I hate people touching me afraid of her life

[31725] I have wanting to put her hair up at 15 my powder too only ruin her

[31728] that way I was too but theres no use going to the fair with the thing

[31729] answering me like a fishwoman when I asked to go for a half a stone of

[31732] grand enough till I gave her 2 damn fine cracks across the ear for

[31734] impudence she had me that exasperated of course contradicting I was

[31735] badtempered too because how was it there was a weed in the tea or I

[31736] didnt sleep the night before cheese I ate was it and I told her over and

[31739] I will that was the last time she turned on the teartap I was just like

[31747] old smelly dishcloth that got lost behind the dresser I knew there was

[31757] down into the dirty old kitchen now is he right in his head I ask pity

[31761] else and she never even rendered down the fat I told her and now shes

[31776] in Drimmies I was fit to be tied though I wouldnt give in with that

[31778] other side of me talking about Spinoza and his soul thats dead I suppose

[31779] millions of years ago I smiled the best I could all in a swamp leaning

[31780] forward as if I was interested having to sit it out then to the last tag

[31781] I wont forget that wife of Scarli in a hurry supposed to be a fast play

[31783] shouted I suppose he went and had a woman in the next lane running round

[31784] all the back ways after to make up for it I wish he had what I had then

[31785] hed boo I bet the cat itself is better off than us have we too much

[31787] sea anyhow he didnt make me pregnant as big as he is I dont want to ruin

[31788] the clean sheets I just put on I suppose the clean linen I wore brought

[31795] jingling like the dickens I suppose they could hear us away over the

[31796] other side of the park till I suggested to put the quilt on the floor

[31797] with the pillow under my bottom I wonder is it nicer in the day I think

[31798] it is easy I think Ill cut all this hair off me there scalding me I

[31802] after that old commode I wonder was I too heavy sitting on his knee I

[31803] made him sit on the easychair purposely when I took off only my blouse

[31805] he never felt me I hope my breath was sweet after those kissing comfits

[31806] easy God I remember one time I could scout it out straight whistling

[31807] like a man almost easy O Lord how noisy I hope theyre bubbles on it for

[31809] dont forget I bet he never saw a better pair of thighs than that look

[31811] here how soft like a peach easy God I wouldnt mind being a man and get

[31815] who knows is there anything the matter with my insides or have I

[31817] it last I Whit Monday yes its only about 3 weeks I ought to go to the

[31818] doctor only it would be like before I married him when I had that white

[31820] Collins for womens diseases on Pembroke road your vagina he called it I

[31824] theyre all right I wouldnt marry him not if he was the last man in

[31826] smelling around those filthy bitches all sides asking me if what I did

[31828] maybe what a question if I smathered it all over his wrinkly old face

[31829] for him with all my compriments I suppose hed know then and could you

[31830] pass it easily pass what I thought he was talking about the rock of

[31832] way only I like letting myself down after in the hole as far as I can

[31834] still theres something in it I suppose I always used to know by Millys

[31837] me had I frequent omissions where do those old fellows get all the words

[31838] they have omissions with his shortsighted eyes on me cocked sideways I

[31840] still I liked him when he sat down to write the thing out frowning so

[31847] myself 4 and 5 times a day sometimes and I said I hadnt are you sure

[31848] O yes I said I am quite sure in a way that shut him up I knew what was

[31849] coming next only natural weakness it was he excited me I dont know how

[31850] the first night ever we met when I was living in Rehoboth terrace we

[31852] I suppose on account of my being jewess looking after my mother he used

[31855] O wasnt I the born fool to believe all his blather about home rule

[31858] that I never even sang once explaining and rigmaroling about religion

[31862] wash it off with the Albion milk and sulphur soap I used to use and the

[31863] gelatine still round it O I laughed myself sick at him that day I better

[31866] do it I suppose there isnt in all creation another man with the habits

[31874] imitating everybody I suppose he used to sleep at the foot of the bed

[31876] thing anyway wheres this those napkins are ah yes I know I hope the old

[31877] press doesnt creak ah I knew it would hes sleeping hard had a good time

[31879] course he has to pay for it from her O this nuisance of a thing I hope

[31882] bed always reminds me of old Cohen I suppose he scratched himself in it

[31883] often enough and he thinks father bought it from Lord Napier that I used

[31884] to admire when I was a little girl because I told him easy piano O

[31885] I like my bed God here we are as bad as ever after 16 years how many

[31901] judging by the sincerity of the trousers I saw on him wait theres

[31906] he has that French letter still in his pocketbook I suppose he thinks I

[31915] tea and toast for him buttered on both sides and newlaid eggs I suppose

[31916] Im nothing any more when I wouldnt let him lick me in Holles street one

[31920] petted so I thought I stood out enough for one time and let him he does

[31922] flat or I dont know what he forgets that wethen I dont Ill make him do

[31924] coalcellar with the blackbeetles I wonder was it her Josie off her head

[31928] him a husband yes its some little bitch hes got in with even when I was

[31931] his sheeps eyes at those two doing skirt duty up and down I tried to

[31942] way like dabbling on a rainy day I see it all now plainly and they call

[31948] theyre not going to get my husband again into their clutches if I can

[31949] help it making fun of him then behind his back I know well when he goes

[31966] hawthorn bough he was always on for flirtyfying too when I sang Maritana

[31974] hes a widower now I wonder what sort is his son he says hes an author

[31976] what is he driving at now showing him my photo its not good of me I

[31978] still I look young in it I wonder he didnt make him a present of it

[31979] altogether and me too after all why not I saw him driving down to the

[31980] Kingsbridge station with his father and mother I was in mourning thats

[31983] enough for me I heard the deathwatch too ticking in the wall of course

[31984] he insisted hed go into mourning for the cat I suppose hes a man now by

[31986] lord Fauntleroy suit and curly hair like a prince on the stage when I

[31987] saw him at Mat Dillons he liked me too I remember they all do wait by

[31988] God yes wait yes hold on he was on the cards this morning when I laid

[31990] before I thought it meant him but hes no chicken nor a stranger either

[31995] at that and didnt I dream something too yes there was something about

[31996] poetry in it I hope he hasnt long greasy hair hanging into his eyes or

[31998] getting themselves and their poetry laughed at I always liked poetry

[31999] when I was a girl first I thought he was a poet like lord Byron and not

[32000] an ounce of it in his composition I thought he was quite different I

[32001] wonder is he too young hes about wait 88 I was married 88 Milly is 15

[32002] yesterday 89 what age was he then at Dillons 5 or 6 about 88 I suppose

[32003] hes 20 or more Im not too old for him if hes 23 or 24 I hope hes not

[32007] out of Trinity college hes very young to be a professor I hope hes not

[32009] they all write about some woman in their poetry well I suppose he wont

[32013] the guitar that fellow played was so expressive will I ever go back

[32022] fine young men I could see down in Margate strand bathingplace from the

[32026] bought I could look at him all day long curly head and his shoulders

[32028] I often felt I wanted to kiss him all over also his lovely young cock

[32029] there so simple I wouldnt mind taking him in my mouth if nobody was

[32031] with his boyish face I would too in 1/2 a minute even if some of it went

[32033] be so clean compared with those pigs of men I suppose never dream of

[32035] what gives the women the moustaches Im sure itll be grand if I can only

[32037] in the morning till I see if the wishcard comes out or Ill try pairing

[32038] the lady herself and see if he comes out Ill read and study all I can

[32039] find or learn a bit off by heart if I knew who he likes so he wont think

[32040] me stupid if he thinks all women are the same and I can teach him the

[32044] I going to do about him though

[32048] I didnt call him Hugh the ignoramus that doesnt know poetry from a

[32056] better to say for himself an old Lion would O well I suppose its because

[32059] they get off a womans body were so round and white for them always I

[32060] wished I was one myself for a change just to try with that thing they

[32062] touch it my uncle John has a thing long I heard those cornerboys saying

[32071] once I start I tell you for their stupid husbands jealousy why cant we

[32078] know I cant help it if Im young still can I its a wonder Im not an old

[32080] me except sometimes when hes asleep the wrong end of me not knowing I

[32085] I kiss the feet of you senorita theres some sense in that didnt he kiss

[32090] Lord God I was thinking would I go around by the quays there some dark

[32092] hot on for it and not care a pin whose I was only do it off up in a gate

[32095] they could I only sent mine there a few times for the name model

[32102] match of course it was for me he gave it I knew him by his gaiters and

[32103] the walk and when I turned round a minute after just to see there was

[32105] home to his wife after that only I suppose the half of those sailors are

[32111] Lord knows what he does that I dont know and Im to be slooching around

[32113] up like a mummy will I indeed did you ever see me running Id just like

[32115] I dont care what anybody says itd be much better for the world to be

[32122] if they hadnt all a mother to look after them what I never had thats

[32123] why I suppose hes running wild now out at night away from his books

[32124] and studies and not living at home on account of the usual rowy house I

[32126] theyre not satisfied and I none was he not able to make one it wasnt my

[32127] fault we came together when I was watching the two dogs up in her behind

[32128] in the middle of the naked street that disheartened me altogether I

[32129] suppose I oughtnt to have buried him in that little woolly jacket I

[32130] knitted crying as I was but give it to some poor child but I knew well

[32133] more I wonder why he wouldnt stay the night I felt all the time it was

[32137] lovely hour so silent I used to love coming home after dances the air of

[32139] what he wont get or its some woman ready to stick her knife in you I

[32141] dreadful lot of bitches I suppose its all the troubles we have makes us

[32143] in the other room I suppose he was as shy as a boy he being so young

[32145] what harm Dedalus I wonder its like those names in Gibraltar Delapaz

[32152] blame to me if I am a harumscarum I know I am a bit I declare to God I

[32201] him right its all his own fault if I am an adulteress as the thing in

[32204] hide it I suppose thats what a woman is supposed to be there for or

[32208] as hes there my brown part then Ill tell him I want £ 1 or perhaps 30/-

[32209] Ill tell him I want to buy underclothes then if he gives me that well he

[32210] wont be too bad I dont want to soak it all out of him like other women

[32216] that he cant keep a thing back I know every turn in him Ill tighten my

[32220] but I was forgetting this bloody pest of a thing pfooh you wouldnt know

[32266] said in his life and the sun shines for you today yes that was why I

[32267] liked him because I saw he understood or felt what a woman is and I knew

[32268] I could always get round him and I gave him all the pleasure I could

[32269] leading him on till he asked me to say yes and I wouldnt answer first

[32270] only looked out over the sea and the sky I was thinking of so many

[32272] old captain Groves and the sailors playing all birds fly and I say stoop

[32291] geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower

[32292] of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian

[32293] girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the
