[4183] Fascination. Worst man in Dublin. That keeps him alive. They sometimes

[4403] —They say a man who does it is a coward, Mr Dedalus said.

[4409] Like Shakespeare’s face. Always a good word to say. They have no mercy

[4410] on that here or infanticide. Refuse christian burial. They used to drive

[4412] already. Yet sometimes they repent too late. Found in the riverbed

[4488] Quite right. They ought to.

[4491] municipal funeral trams like they have in Milan, you know. Run the line

[4535] In silence they drove along Phibsborough road. An empty hearse trotted

[4556] They drove on past Brian Boroimhe house. Near it now.

[4587] off. Murdered his brother. Or so they said.

[4595] They looked. Murderer’s ground. It passed darkly. Shuttered,

[4598] They love reading about it. Man’s head found in a garden. Her clothing

[4639] on a bloodvessel or something. Do they know what they cart out here

[4734] They halted about the door of the mortuary chapel. Mr Bloom stood behind

[4756] They halted by the bier and the priest began to read out of his book

[4774] of bad gas round the place. Butchers, for instance: they get like raw

[4776] saint Werburgh’s lovely old organ hundred and fifty they have to bore

[4794] up with that job, shaking that thing over all the corpses they trot up.

[4848] They covered their heads.

[4945] They bent their silk hats in concert and Hynes inclined his ear. The

[4949] —They tell the story, he said, that two drunks came out here one foggy

[4950] evening to look for the grave of a friend of theirs. They asked for

[4952] traipsing about in the fog they found the grave sure enough. One of the

[4991] night. The clock was on the stroke of twelve. Still they’d kiss all

[5001] after field. Holy fields. More room if they buried them standing.

[5009] the earth gives new life. Same idea those jews they said killed

[5019] them. Then dried up. Deathmoths. Of course the cells or whatever they

[5023] But they must breed a devil of a lot of maggots. Soil must be simply

[5036] Seems a sort of a joke. Read your own obituary notice they say you live

[5062] them all it does seem a waste of wood. All gnawed through. They could

[5064] way. Ay but they might object to be buried out of another fellow’s.

[5065] They’re so particular. Lay me in my native earth. Bit of clay from

[5083] gravetrestles. They struggled up and out: and all uncovered. Twenty.

[5089] Far away a donkey brayed. Rain. No such ass. Never see a dead one, they

[5090] say. Shame of death. They hide. Also poor papa went away.

[5099] yet. Then darkened deathchamber. Light they want. Whispering around you.

[5108] Remember him in your prayers. Even Parnell. Ivy day dying out. Then they

[5115] Does he ever think of the hole waiting for himself? They say you do when

[5123] course. Of course he is dead. Monday he died. They ought to have

[5149] idea a postmortem for doctors. Find out what they imagine they know.

[5199] They turned to the right, following their slow thoughts. With awe Mr

[5218] death’s door. Who passed away. Who departed this life. As if they

[5220] bucket. More interesting if they told you what they were. So and So,

[5228] Marriage ads they never try to beautify. Rusty wreaths hung on knobs,

[5243] of fruit but he said no because they ought to have been afraid of the

[5281] water. Drowning they say is the pleasantest. See your whole life in

[5286] before he’s well dead. Got wind of Dignam. They wouldn’t care about

[5300] beds. They are not going to get me this innings. Warm beds: warm

[5318] They stopped.

[5336] They walked on towards the gates. Mr Bloom, chapfallen, drew behind

7. Aeolus

[5424] The door of Ruttledge’s office whispered: ee: cree. They always build

[5444] They watched the knees, legs, boots vanish. Neck.

[5469] to atoms if they got him caught. Rule the world today. His machineries

[5494] got paralysed there and no-one knew how to stop them they’d clank on

[5500] Soon be calling him my lord mayor. Long John is backing him, they say.

[5539] Hell of a racket they make. He doesn’t hear it. Nannan. Iron nerves.

[5675] walls with matches? Looks as if they did it for a bet. Heavy greasy

[5729] Rather upsets a man’s day, a funeral does. He has influence they

[5731] greatgranduncle. Close on ninety they say. Subleader for his death

[5805] they get wind of a new opening. Weathercocks. Hot and cold in the same

[5850] cake that stuff. He was in the bakery line too, wasn’t he? Why they

[6004] this ad of Keyes’s. Want to fix it up. They tell me he’s round there

[6041] —Who? the professor said, turning. They’re gone round to the Oval

[6047] jacket, jingling his keys in his back pocket. They jingled then in the

[6102] —Which they accordingly did do, Lenehan said. Our old ancient

[6106] —They were nature’s gentlemen, J. J. O’Molloy murmured. But we

[6208] the Athenian fleets at Aegospotami. Yes, yes. They went under. Pyrrhus,

[6214] —They went forth to battle, Mr O’Madden Burke said greyly, but they

[6327] cabman’s shelter, they say, down there at Butt bridge. Holohan told

[6341] the stones, see they don’t run away. Look at here. What did Ignatius

[6430] —They’re only in the hook and eye department, Myles Crawford said.

[6629] which neither if they were supremely good nor unless they were good

[6717] Where are they? That’s all right.

[6740] They turned to the left along Abbey street.

[6768] —They want to see the views of Dublin from the top of Nelson’s

[6769] pillar. They save up three and tenpence in a red tin letterbox moneybox.

[6770] They shake out the threepenny bits and sixpences and coax out the

[6772] seven in coppers. They put on their bonnets and best clothes and take

[6779] —They buy one and fourpenceworth of brawn and four slices of panloaf

[6781] Collins, proprietress... They purchase four and twenty ripe plums from

[6783] brawn. They give two threepenny bits to the gentleman at the turnstile

[6787] threatening to come down, peeping at the airslits. Glory be to God. They

[6870] J. J. O’Molloy pulled a long face and walked on silently. They caught

[6873] —When they have eaten the brawn and the bread and wiped their twenty

[6874] fingers in the paper the bread was wrapped in they go nearer to the

[6885] —But they are afraid the pillar will fall, Stephen went on. They see

[6888] them giddy to look so they pull up their skirts...

[6903] —It gives them a crick in their necks, Stephen said, and they are too

[6904] tired to look up or down or to speak. They put the bag of plums between

[6912] —Finished? Myles Crawford said. So long as they do no worse.

[6925] They made ready to cross O’Connell street.

[6939] —But what do you call it? Myles Crawford asked. Where did they get the

[7035] too. Potatoes and marge, marge and potatoes. It’s after they feel it.

[7043] the porter. Drink till they puke again like christians. Imagine drinking

[7052] They wheeled lower. Looking for grub. Wait.

[7058] wake fifty yards astern. Live by their wits. They wheeled, flapping.

[7071] they must be this time of year. Shiny peels: polishes them up with a rag

[7082] hands. They never expected that. Manna. Live on fish, fishy flesh they

[7087] They wheeled flapping weakly. I’m not going to throw any more. Penny

[7088] quite enough. Lot of thanks I get. Not even a caw. They spread foot and

[7134] singing into a barrel. Now, isn’t that wit. They used to call him big

[7141] that priest they are this morning: we have sinned: we have suffered. He

[7146] street. Just keep skin and bone together, bread and skilly. They are not

[7167] she. If she had married she would have changed. I suppose they really

[7169] same. No lard for them. My heart’s broke eating dripping. They like

[7171] Pat Claffey, the pawnbroker’s daughter. It was a nun they say invented

[7282] they’d taste it with the hot tea. Or is it from her? A barefoot arab

[7289] Money. Please take one. Devils if they lose sixpence. Raise Cain.

[7431] made the world. The way they spring those questions on you. And the

[7483] that would. Lucky Molly got over hers lightly. They ought to invent

[7489] feed fools on. They could easily have big establishments whole thing

[7496] Not stillborn of course. They are not even registered. Trouble for

[7501] returns. How flat they look all of a sudden after. Peaceful eyes. Weight

[7514] near Goose green playing the monkeys. Mackerel they called me.

[7519] belts. Policeman’s lot is oft a happy one. They split up in groups and

[7526] He crossed under Tommy Moore’s roguish finger. They did right to put

[7534] being lagged they let him have it hot and heavy in the bridewell.

[7535] Can’t blame them after all with the job they have especially the

[7614] Landlord never dies they say. Other steps into his shoes when he gets

[7615] his notice to quit. They buy the place up with gold and still they have

[7628] in there. Like a mortuary chapel. Wouldn’t live in it if they paid me.

[7629] Hope they have liver and bacon today. Nature abhors a vacuum.

[7638] corporation meeting today. They say he never put on the city marshal’s

[7651] when they put him in parliament that Parnell would come back from the

[7658] They passed from behind Mr Bloom along the curbstone. Beard and bicycle.

[7673] of that cow will pursue you through all eternity. They say it’s

[7675] Bad as a bloater. Dreams all night. Why do they call that thing they

[7677] eating rumpsteak. Absurd. Salty too. They cook in soda. Keep you sitting

[7681] Those literary etherial people they are all. Dreamy, cloudy,

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

[7697] trains and cloakrooms. What do they be thinking about? Women too.

[7712] explosions they are. There will be a total eclipse this year: autumn

[7749] M’Coy said. They drink in order to say or do something or cherchez

[7925] Hot fresh blood they prescribe for decline. Blood always needed.

[7947] the obituary notices they stuck it. All up a plumtree. Dignam’s potted

[7955] they call now. Yom Kippur fast spring cleaning of inside. Peace and war

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

[8095] Cold nose he’d have kissing a woman. Still they might like. Prickly

[8096] beards they like. Dogs’ cold noses. Old Mrs Riordan with the rumbling

[8117] out? Garbage, sewage they feed on. Fizz and Red bank oysters. Effect

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

[8130] pearls. The élite. Crème de la crème. They want special dishes to

[8131] pretend they’re. Hermit with a platter of pulse keep down the stings

[8180] naked goddesses. Aids to digestion. They don’t care what man looks.

[8188] dung, earth, food: have to feed it like stoking an engine. They have

[8194] walked, to men too they gave themselves, manly conscious, lay with men

[8240] He’s an excellent brother. Light, life and love, by God. They give him

[8245] —O, it’s a fine order, Nosey Flynn said. They stick to you when

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

[8247] as close as damn it. By God they did right to keep the women out of it.

[8254] find out what they do be doing. But be damned but they smelt her out

[8289] They paused at the counter.

[8359] coasted warily. Ruminants. His second course. Their upper jaw they move.

[8374] turned back his thoughts. They could: and watch it all the way down,

[8407] church of Rome? Birds’ Nest. Women run him. They say they used to give

[8438] Say something to him. Better not do the condescending. They mistrust

[8472] Look at all the things they can learn to do. Read with their fingers.

[8473] Tune pianos. Or we are surprised they have any brains. Why we think a

[8477] sewing. Might take an objection. Dark men they call them.

[8481] the summer: smells. Tastes? They say you can’t taste wines with your

[8482] eyes shut or a cold in the head. Also smoke in the dark they say get no

[8515] and drowned in New York. Holocaust. Karma they call that transmigration

[8529] really what they call a dirty jew. Power those judges have. Crusty old

9. Scylla and Charybdis

[8685] to see if they can help. The Christ with the bridesister, moisture of

[8710] allhorse. Streams of tendency and eons they worship. God: noise in the

[8712] spaces smaller than red globules of man’s blood they creepycrawl after

[8751] French town, don’t you know, a provincial town. They advertised it.

[8998] whirling, they bewail.

[9002] —They say we are to have a literary surprise, the quaker librarian

[9027] wild oats? Awfully clever, isn’t it? They remind one of Don Quixote

[9096] They are still. Once quick in the brains of men. Still: but an itch of

[9171] they lead to the town.

[9242] They list. And in the porches of their ears I pour.

[9276] They make him welcome. Was Du verlachst wirst Du noch dienen.

[9357] They talked seriously of mocker’s seriousness.

[9478] Raleigh, when they arrested him, had half a million francs on his

[9581] they have still if our peasant plays are true to type.

[9629] Sayest thou so? Will they wrest from us, from me, the palm of beauty?

[9772] —They are sundered by a bodily shame so steadfast that the criminal

[10358] square. Yes: they were from Belvedere. The little house. Aha. And were

[10359] they good boys at school? O. That was very good now. And what was his

[10397] speak. The incumbent they called him. He felt it incumbent on him to say

[10398] a few words. But one should be charitable. Invincible ignorance. They

[10482] always to be told twice bless you, my child, that they have been

[10483] absolved, pray for me. But they had so many worries in life, so many

[11441] on the wrong side. They rose in dark and evil days. Fine poem that

[11746] They followed round the corner towards James Kavanagh’s winerooms. The

[11766] Hell open to christians they were having, Jimmy Henry said pettishly,

[11807] All turned where they stood. John Wyse Nolan came down again. From the

[11809] harness and glossy pasterns in sunlight shimmering. Gaily they went past

[12322] waiting for their teas to draw. They pawed their blouses, both of black

[12496] last, they say. Yes. Yes.

[12903] They laughed all three. He had no wed. All trio laughed. No wedding

[12973] They pined in depth of ocean shadow, gold by the beerpull, bronze

[12980] kidney, bite by bite of pie he ate Bloom ate they ate.

[13013] They drank cool stout. Did she know where the lord lieutenant was going?

[13102] and Goulding. Princes at meat they raised and drank, Power and cider.

[13187] Braintipped, cheek touched with flame, they listened feeling that flow

[13199] seemed to from both depart when first they heard. When first they saw,

[14173] while they play with all kinds of lovely objects as for example golden

[14373] —Ah, well, says Joe, handing round the boose. Thanks be to God they

[14383] And lo, as they quaffed their cup of joy, a godlike messenger came

[14440] deathless Leda. For they garner the succulent berries of the hop and

[14441] mass and sift and bruise and brew them and they mix therewith sour

[14457] wellbeloved, for they knew and loved her from the rising of the sun to

[14516] —Maybe so, says Joe. They took the liberty of burying him this morning

[14602] Terry came down and tipped him the wink to keep quiet, that they

[14666] So they started arguing about the point, Bloom saying he wouldn’t and

[14676] —They’re all barbers, says he, from the black country that would

[14683] In the dark land they bide, the vengeful knights of the razor. Their

[14684] deadly coil they grasp: yea, and therein they lead to Erebus whatsoever

[14688] So they started talking about capital punishment and of course Bloom

[14703] in Kilmainham when they hanged Joe Brady, the invincible. He told me

[14704] when they cut him down after the drop it was standing up in their faces

[14757] Time they were stopping up in the City Arms pisser Burke told me there

[14831] the nameless barbarity which they had been called upon to witness. An

[14906] ardour to reach. She swore to him as they mingled the salt streams of

[14911] banks of Anna Liffey when they had indulged in the innocent pastimes

[14912] of the young and, oblivious of the dreadful present, they both laughed

[14915] But anon they were overcome with grief and clasped their hands for the

[14980] Such growling you never heard as they let off between them. Someone that

[15221] So off they started about Irish sports and shoneen games the like of

[15484] as they went past, talking to him like a father, trying to sell him a

[15551] they rose in their seats, those twelve of Iar, and they swore by

[15552] the name of Him Who is from everlasting that they would do His

[15555] in consequence of information received. And they shackled him hand and

[15626] counsel whereby they might, if so be it might be, bring once more into

[15641] literature worthy of the name. Any civilisation they have they stole

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

[15698] —Some people, says Bloom, can see the mote in others’ eyes but they

[15719] Barrow and Shannon they won’t deepen with millions of acres of marsh

[15804] Omaha, Ga. A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a

[15806] him. Gob, they ought to drown him in the sea after and electrocute and

[15820] brought out, howling for his ma, and they tie him down on the buttend of

[15839] empire they boast about of drudges and whipped serfs.

[15843] —And the tragedy of it is, says the citizen, they believe it. The

[15846] They believe in rod, the scourger almighty, creator of hell upon earth,

[15860] greater Ireland beyond the sea. They were driven out of house and home

[15867] they drove out the peasants in hordes. Twenty thousand of them died in

[15869] the land of bondage. And they will come again and with a vengeance, no

[15879] against the Williamites and they betrayed us. Remember Limerick and the

[15886] what it is? They were never worth a roasted fart to Ireland. Aren’t

[15887] they trying to make an Entente cordiale now at Tay Pay’s dinnerparty

[15888] with perfidious Albion? Firebrands of Europe and they always were.

[15914] —They ought to have stuck up all the women he rode himself, says

[16110] —Well, says J. J., if they’re any worse than those Belgians in the

[16111] Congo Free State they must be bad. Did you read that report by a man

[16117] flogging the natives on the belly to squeeze all the red rubber they can

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

[16228] —That’s so, says Martin. Or so they allege.

[16259] —Well, they’re still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin. For

[16262] —Yes, says J. J., and every male that’s born they think it may

[16444] all with an outer ring and giveth speed to the feet of men whenas they

[16446] they come and set them, those willing nymphs, the undying sisters. And

[16447] they laughed, sporting in a circle of their foam: and the bark clave the

[16575] the old head of Kinsale. Other eyewitnesses depose that they observed

[16614] When, lo, there came about them all a great brightness and they beheld

[16615] the chariot wherein He stood ascend to heaven. And they beheld Him in

[16617] as of the sun, fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not

[16619] Elijah! And He answered with a main cry: Abba! Adonai! And they beheld

13. Nausicaa

[16642] oft were they wont to come there to that favourite nook to have a cosy

[16649] bright merry faces and endearing ways about them. They were dabbling in

[16794] to love her in time. They were protestants in his family and of course

[16801] and besides they were both of a size too he and she and that was why Edy

[16829] wide garter tops. As for undies they were Gerty’s chief care and who

[16835] them herself and blued them when they came home from the wash and ironed

[16845] out or if they got untied that he was thinking about you so long as it

[16862] was still in short trousers) when they were alone and he stole an arm

[16882] little wife to be. Then they could talk about her till they went blue in

[16893] like violets or roses and they would have a beautifully appointed

[16897] summer jumble sales like they have in rich houses. He would be tall with

[16900] and they would go on the continent for their honeymoon (three wonderful

[16901] weeks!) and then, when they settled down in a nice snug and cosy little

[16902] homely house, every morning they would both have brekky, simple but

[16961] benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. They were there gathered

[16992] Mary, how to woo thee or My love and cottage near Rochelle and they had

[16997] Dignam and Mrs and Patsy and Freddy Dignam and they were to have had a

[17011] thing they ever had words about, taking snuff. Everyone thought the

[17016] where a young gentleman in the costume they used to wear then with a

[17026] halcyon days what they meant.

[17053] flaming into her cheeks. Till then they had only exchanged glances of

[17082] to be something great, they said.

[17100] Gerty wished to goodness they would take their squalling baby home out

[17106] hear the music like that and the perfume of those incense they burned

[17109] look. His eyes burned into her as though they would search her through

[17110] and through, read her very soul. Wonderful eyes they were, superbly

[17115] wasn’t stagestruck like Winny Rippingham that wanted they two to

[17134] those cyclists showing off what they hadn’t got and she just yearned

[17160] present or a clock but they had a clock she noticed on the mantelpiece

[17167] threw the ball out towards the sea and they both ran after it. Little

[17170] them. And Cissy and Edy shouted after them to come back because they

[17175] Not they! What a great notion they had! So Cissy said it was the very

[17193] they prayed, queen of the most holy rosary and then Father Conroy handed

[17238] Because she wished to goodness they’d take the snottynosed twins and

[17243] they were told to be in early.

[17265] Then they sang the second verse of the Tantum ergo and Canon O’Hanlon

[17309] ringdove, but they cut the silence icily. There was that in her young

[17319] struck home for her petty jealousy and they both knew that she was

[17322] so they could put that in their pipe and smoke it.

[17390] not that. They would be just good friends like a big brother and sister

[17409] And they all looked was it sheet lightning but Tommy saw it too over the

[17425] silent as the grave, and it had made her his. At last they were left

[17452] they all saw it and they all shouted to look, look, there it was and

[17456] hush, they were all breathless with excitement as it went higher and

[17476] and they shed and ah! they were all greeny dewy stars falling with

[17537] Cheap too. Yours for the asking. Because they want it themselves. Their

[17539] Reserve better. Don’t want it they throw it at you. Catch em alive, O.

[17540] Pity they can’t see themselves. A dream of wellfilled hose. Where was

[17542] Tom. Willy’s hat and what the girls did with it. Do they snapshot

[17544] inside her déshabillé. Excites them also when they’re. I’m all

[17545] clean come and dirty me. And they like dressing one another for the

[17555] hurry either. Always off to a fellow when they are. They never forget an

[17556] appointment. Out on spec probably. They believe in chance because like

[17561] vindictive too for what they can’t get. Barbed wire. Be sure now and

[17572] Devils they are when that’s coming on them. Dark devilish appearance.

[17577] plants I read in a garden. Besides they say if the flower withers she

[17579] that you often meet what you feel. Liked me or what? Dress they look at.

[17626] answer when they solicit must be horrible for them till they harden. And

[17630] That’s what they enjoy. Taking a man from another woman. Or even hear

[17635] prepared. I dreamt. What? Worst is beginning. How they change the venue

[17636] when it’s not what they like. Ask you do you like mushrooms because

[17653] like a rocket, down like a stick. And the children, twins they must

[17662] course they understand birds, animals, babies. In their line.

[17685] learn that from? Nobody. Something the nurse taught me. O, don’t they

[17708] couldn’t be? No, Gerty they called her. Might be false name however

[17717] because it lasts only a few years till they settle down to potwalloping

[17719] when they hold him out to do ah ah. No soft job. Saves them. Keeps them

[17732] Chickens come home to roost. They stick by one another like glue. Maybe

[17737] Then they trot you out some kind of a nondescript, wouldn’t know

[17773] slipper on the floor so they wouldn’t hear. But lots of them can’t

[17790] fine veil or web they have all over the skin, fine like what do you

[17791] call it gossamer, and they’re always spinning it out of them, fine as

[17802] We’re the same. Some women, instance, warn you off when they have

[17842] prophecy that is about ships around they fly in the twinkling. No. Signs

[17846] they might think it a house. Wreckers. Grace Darling. People afraid of

[17856] Wait. Trees are they? An optical illusion. Mirage. Land of the setting

[17868] under them. But it’s the evening influence. They feel all that. Open

[17875] lame of course but must be on your guard not to feel too much pity. They

[17911] they have. Gabriel Conroy’s brother is curate. Ba. Again. Wonder why

[17912] they come out at night like mice. They’re a mixed breed. Birds are

[17930] Ba. Who knows what they’re always flying for. Insects? That bee last

[17933] they say. Like our small talk. And says she and says he. Nerve they have

[17941] they say. She has a good job if she minds it till Johnny comes marching

[17943] they like the sea? Yet they do. The anchor’s weighed. Off he sails

14. Oxen of the Sun

[18138] when by general consent they affirm that other circumstances being

[18182] mothers prosperity at all not to can be and as they had received

[18188] they her by anticipation went seeing mother, that she by them suddenly

[18208] mothers are wont that they lie for to thole and bring forth bairns hale

[18210] in ward sleepless. Smarts they still, sickness soothing: in twelve moons

[18211] thrice an hundred. Truest bedthanes they twain are, for Horne holding

[18243] they there both awhile in wanhope sorrowing one with other.

[18258] for he felt with wonder women’s woe in the travail that they have of

[18263] And whiles they spake the door of the castle was opened and there nighed

[18265] against the place as they stood a young learningknight yclept Dixon. And

[18266] the traveller Leopold was couth to him sithen it had happed that they

[18284] and it was upheld by four dwarfmen of that country but they durst not

[18287] flames that they fix then in the horns of buffalos and stags that there

[18294] thing without they see it natheless they are so. And these fishes lie

[18297] a marvel to see in that castle how by magic they make a compost out of

[18299] that they do in to it swells up wondrously like to a vast mountain. And

[18300] they teach the serpents there to entwine themselves up on long sticks

[18301] out of the ground and of the scales of these serpents they brew out a

[18305] thereto the while all they that were there drank every each. And childe

[18319] any of the tother and for that they both were knights virtuous in the

[18335] drunken an they might. There was a sort of scholars along either

[18343] beside the meek sir Leopold. But on young Malachi they waited for that

[18347] his languor becalmed him there after longest wanderings insomuch as they

[18357] they said farther she should live because in the beginning, they said,

[18358] the woman should bring forth in pain and wherefore they that were of

[18365] should live and the babe to die. In colour whereof they waxed hot

[18371] Arbraccan her goodman husband would not let her death whereby they were

[18385] this while, pricked forward with their jibes wherewith they did malice

[18388] laughed they all right jocundly only young Stephen and sir Leopold which

[18403] church for all ages founded. All they bachelors then asked of sir

[18482] menace of blandishments others whiles they all chode with him, a murrain

[18497] virtue of a confiding female which was corruption of minors and they all

[18501] they rehearsed to him his curious rite of wedlock for the disrobing and

[18513] communion. Well met they were, said Master Dixon, joyed, but, harkee,

[18514] young sir, better were they named Beau Mount and Lecher for, by my

[18621] wicked devil) they would strain the last but they would make at her and

[18622] know her. For regarding Believe-on-Me they said it was nought else

[18623] but notion and they could conceive no thought of it for, first,

[18627] Jowl and, second, for that foul plague Allpox and the monsters they

[18629] oxengut and, third, that they might take no hurt neither from Offspring

[18631] named Killchild. So were they all in their blind fancy, Mr Cavil and Mr

[18647] saying, for aught they knew, the big wind of last February a year that

[18682] the knocks, they say, but God give her soon issue. ’Tis her ninth

[18695] bottom of reason for old crones and bairns yet sometimes they are found

[18717] butchered along of the plague. But they can go hang, says he with a

[18778] the faithful (for so they called him) was grown so heavy that he could

[19323] Pisistratus. Where were they now? Neither knew. You have spoken of the

[19417] debaters were the keenest in the land, the theme they were engaged on

[19486] wonder is that so many pregnancies and deliveries go off so well as they

[19540] are happy too as they gaze down and smile upon the touching scene.

[19573] but they abide there and wait. He may suffer their memory to grow dim,

[19574] let them be as though they had not been and all but persuade himself

[19575] that they were not or at least were otherwise. Yet a chance word will

[19576] call them forth suddenly and they will rise up to confront him in the

[19593] with much real interest in the pellets as they run slowly forward over

[25266] where they might hit upon some drinkables in the shape of a milk and

[25277] service in the shaving line, they both walked together along Beaver

[25280] Montgomery street where they made tracks to the left from thence

[25291] which they accordingly did. So, bevelling around by Mullett’s and the

[25292] Signal House which they shortly reached, they proceeded perforce in the

[25299] cleared up after the recent visitation of Jupiter Pluvius, they dandered

[25304] of some little while back. They passed the main entrance of the Great

[25315] James Rourke’s city bakery, situated quite close to where they were,

[25327] young fellows of his age particularly if they had acquired drinking

[25344] reason being they were paid to protect the upper classes. Another thing

[25347] inciting them against civilians should by any chance they fall out over

[25365] Discussing these and kindred topics they made a beeline across the back

[25395] marauders ready to decamp with whatever boodle they could in one fell

[25423] was fostersister to the heir of the house or else they were connected

[25476] And so in point of fact they turned out to be. Stephen anyhow lent him

[25483] only the girl in the office told me they’re full up for the next three

[25530] —Everybody gets their own ration of luck, they say. Now you mention it

[25565] which they did.

[25573] herrings they had eaten at two a penny with an egg apiece for Maggy,

[25595] certain drowning by artificial respiration and what they call first

[25602] —Except it simply amounts to one thing and he is what they call

[25615] Adjacent to the men’s public urinal they perceived an icecream car

[25643] for whom they seemingly formed an object of marked curiosity.

[25651] or whatever they were after a cursory examination turned their eyes

[25668] —To fill the ear of a cow elephant. They were haggling over money.

[25838] the livers of horses. Look here. Here they are. A friend of mine sent

[25851] breadgraters. Cuts off their diddies when they can’t bear no more

[25925] pounds was debarred from seeing more of the world they lived in instead

[25927] for a wife. After all, hang it, they had their eleven and more humdrum

[25956] little pills like putty and he put them in the water and they opened and

[25975] questions even should they by any chance want to.

[25984] —They’re great for the cold steel, somebody who was evidently quite

[25985] in the dark said for the benefit of them all. That was why they thought

[26085] to. I hate those buggers. Suck your blood dry, they does.

[26087] Seeing they were all looking at his chest he accommodatingly dragged

[26089] mariner’s hope and rest they had a full view of the figure 16 and a

[26146] with Bewley and Draper’s marking ink (hers were, that is) if they

[26192] —They tell me on the best authority it is a simple substance and

[26217] On this knotty point however the views of the pair, poles apart as they

[26241] nay did a world of good, shelters such as the present one they were in

[26245] they paid his wife, Madam Marion Tweedy who had been prominently

[26279] of knives remarked to his confidante sotto voce. Do you think they are

[26314] some Aztecs, as they are called, sitting bowlegged, they couldn’t

[26340] hands and give you your quietus doublequick with those poignards they

[26366] they have so little taste in dress, most of them, which greatly enhances

[26379] So then after that they drifted on to the wreck off Daunt’s rock,

[26518] worthy of his salt that served it. Then they began to have a few

[26521] as they didn’t indulge in recriminations and come to blows.

[26527] unless they were much bigger fools than he took them for, rather

[26598] though every country, they say, our own distressful included, has the

[26604] people because they live round the corner and speak another vernacular,

[26623] —They accuse, remarked he audibly. He turned away from the others, who

[26624] probably… and spoke nearer to, so as the others… in case they…

[26631] answer for, imported them. Why? Because they are imbued with the proper

[26632] spirit. They are practical and are proved to be so. I don’t want to

[26637] if they didn’t believe they’d go straight to heaven when they die

[26638] they’d try to live better, at least so I think. That’s the juggle on

[26654] of different sorts of the same sand where they had a home somewhere

[26726] stands, was terribly down on though not for the reason they thought

[26727] they were probably whatever it was except women chiefly who were always

[26834] Return of Parnell. He bet them what they liked. A Dublin fusilier was in

[26838] no-one to point a finger at him. Then they would all to a man have gone

[26840] senses. Dead he wasn’t. Simply absconded somewhere. The coffin they

[26856] an end or quite possibly they were distressed to find the job was taken

[26865] Messrs So and So who, though they weren’t even a patch on the former

[26872] they broke up the type in the Insuppressible or was it United Ireland,

[26877] bone. Still as regards return. You were a lucky dog if they didn’t

[27044] the whole business. How they were fated to meet and an attachment sprang

[27047] compromising expressions leaving no loophole to show that they openly

[27052] for that the two misdemeanants, wrapped up as they largely were in one

[27053] another, could safely afford to ignore it as they very largely did till

[27068] which went a long way with the shillyshallyers till they discovered to

[27088] with a difference, after the burial of a mutual friend when they had

[27110] world and they got on fairly well together for the sake of argument,

[27151] Though they didn’t see eye to eye in everything a certain analogy

[27217] point too of tender Achilles. Your god was a jew. Because mostly they

[27296] Seeing that the ruse worked and the coast was clear they left the

[27303] of the moment. Why they put tables upside down at night, I mean

[27327] Anyhow they passed the sentrybox with stones, brazier etc. where

[27336] So they turned on to chatting about music, a form of art for which

[27337] Bloom, as a pure amateur, possessed the greatest love, as they made

[27376] On the roadway which they were approaching whilst still speaking beyond

[27390] They thereupon stopped. Bloom looked at the head of a horse not worth

[27417] blackguard type they unquestionably had an insatiable hankering after as

[27511] Maher. As they walked they at times stopped and walked again continuing

[27516] car who in any case couldn’t possibly hear because they were too far

[30656] sly if they only knew him as well as I do yes because the day before

[30751] Gibraltar as if the world was coming to an end and then they come and

[30759] brute of a thing he has I thought the vein or whatever the dickens they

[30768] they want out of you with that determined vicious look in his eye I had

[30772] time I let him finish it in me nice invention they made for women for

[30778] they called budgers or something like a nigger with a shock of hair on

[30781] supposed to be healthy not satisfied till they have us swollen out like

[30823] thick when hes there they know by his sly eye blinking a bit putting on

[30824] the indifferent when they come out with something the kind he is what

[30856] and always the worst word in the world what do they ask us to marry them

[30857] for if were so bad as all that comes to yes because they cant get on

[30859] wonder why they call it that if I asked him hed say its from the Greek

[30863] to go and hang a woman surely are they

[30919] where hed no business they can go and get whatever they like from

[30921] they want to know where were you where are you going I could feel him

[30937] out was he circumcised he was shaking like a jelly all over they want

[30994] us with their eyes as stupid as ever they can possibly be that was an

[30998] then coming back suppose I never came back what would they say eloped

[31001] chits of missies they have now singing Kathleen Kearney and her like

[31009] with some of them Sinner Fein lately or whatever they call themselves

[31020] felt they could have made their peace in the beginning or old oom Paul

[31036] knuckle there or they might bell it round the town in their papers or

[31077] but thats no good what did they say they give a delightful figure line

[31080] stout at dinner or am I getting too fond of it the last they sent from

[31249] sentries here and there the poplars and they all whitehot and the smell

[31305] when I stood up they were so fattish and firm when I got up on the sofa
