[98] He came over to the gunrest and, thrusting a hand into Stephen’s upper

[135] think of your mother begging you with her last breath to kneel down and

[207] Wilde were only alive to see you!

[217] —It’s not fair to tease you like that, Kinch, is it? he said kindly.

[223] —Cracked lookingglass of a servant! Tell that to the oxy chap

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

[261] —Do you wish me to tell you? he asked.

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

[279] —You were making tea, Stephen said, and went across the landing to

[288] A flush which made him seem younger and more engaging rose to Buck

[299] down to pray for your mother on her deathbed when she asked you. Why?

[301] the wrong way. To me it’s all a mockery and beastly. Her cerebral

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

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

[315] —Of the offence to me, Stephen answered.

[356] A cloud began to cover the sun slowly, wholly, shadowing the bay in

[359] Her door was open: she wanted to hear my music. Silent with awe and pity

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

[384] In a dream, silently, she had come to him, her wasted body within its

[388] Her glazing eyes, staring out of death, to shake and bend my soul. On me

[389] alone. The ghostcandle to light her agony. Ghostly light on the tortured

[391] their knees. Her eyes on me to strike me down. Liliata rutilantium te

[447] form moved briskly to and fro about the hearth, hiding and revealing its

[456] hammock where it had been sitting, went to the doorway and pulled open

[471] doorway, looking out. Stephen haled his upended valise to the table and

[472] sat down to wait. Buck Mulligan tossed the fry on to the dish beside

[473] him. Then he carried the dish and a large teapot over to the table, set

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

[505] Haines sat down to pour out the tea.

[530] He turned to Stephen and asked in a fine puzzled voice, lifting his

[564] —That’s a lovely morning, sir, she said. Glory be to God.

[566] —To whom? Mulligan said, glancing at her. Ah, to be sure!

[570] —The islanders, Mulligan said to Haines casually, speak frequently of

[586] cuckquean, a messenger from the secret morning. To serve or to upbraid,

[587] whether he could not tell: but scorned to beg her favour.

[596] —If we could live on good food like that, he said to her somewhat

[607] Stephen listened in scornful silence. She bows her old head to a voice

[608] that speaks to her loudly, her bonesetter, her medicineman: me she

[609] slights. To the voice that will shrive and oil for the grave all there

[611] God’s likeness, the serpent’s prey. And to the loud voice that now

[616] —Is it French you are talking, sir? the old woman said to Haines.

[618] Haines spoke to her again a longer speech, confidently.

[627] —He’s English, Buck Mulligan said, and he thinks we ought to speak

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

[638] milkcan on her forearm and about to go.

[640] Haines said to her:

[652] buttered on both sides, stretched forth his legs and began to search his

[655] —Pay up and look pleasant, Haines said to him, smiling.

[678] He turned to Stephen and said:

[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

[693] Then he said to Haines:

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

[705] Speaking to me. They wash and tub and scrub. Agenbite of inwit.

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

[726] He strolled out to the doorway. Buck Mulligan bent across to Stephen and

[731] —Well? Stephen said. The problem is to get money. From whom? From the

[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

[754] He emptied his pockets on to the table.

[758] And putting on his stiff collar and rebellious tie he spoke to them,

[759] chiding them, and to his dangling watchchain. His hands plunged and

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

[768] Stephen picked it up and put it on. Haines called to them from the

[780] and, as they went down the ladder, pulled to the slow iron door and

[800] —To the secretary of state for war, Stephen added over his shoulder.

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

[812] Aquinas and the fiftyfive reasons he has made out to prop it up. Wait

[815] He turned to Stephen, saying, as he pulled down neatly the peaks of his

[829] —What? Haines said, beginning to point at Stephen. He himself?

[832] loose laughter, said to Stephen’s ear:

[836] —We’re always tired in the morning, Stephen said to Haines. And it

[837] is rather long to tell.

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

[851] —It’s a wonderful tale, Haines said, bringing them to halt again.

[865] a doll’s head to and fro, the brims of his Panama hat quivering, and

[880] fins or wings of one about to rise in the air, and chanted:

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

[894] not a believer myself, that is to say. Still his gaiety takes the harm

[907] —There’s only one sense of the word, it seems to me, Stephen said.

[909] Haines stopped to take out a smooth silver case in which twinkled a

[940] own master, it seems to me.

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

[1026] —Ah, go to God! Buck Mulligan said.

[1028] —Going over next week to stew. You know that red Carlisle girl, Lily?

[1041] He nodded to himself as he drew off his trousers and stood up, saying

[1051] He struggled out of his shirt and flung it behind him to where his

[1287] He stood up and gave a shout of nervous laughter to which their cries

[1308] —Mr Deasy told me to write them out all again, he said, and show them

[1309] to you, sir.

[1313] —Do you understand how to do them now? he asked.

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

[1542] He went to the desk near the window, pulled in his chair twice and read

[1643] patience to heap and hoard. Time surely would scatter all. A hoard

[1652] sideways open uncertainly. Is this old wisdom? He waits to hear from me.

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

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

[1732] —Good morning, sir, Stephen said again, bowing to his bent back.

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

[2129] then by the Poolbeg road to the strand there. He climbed over the sedge

[2144] Lord, is he going to attack me? Respect his liberty. You will not

[2150] Galleys of the Lochlanns ran here to beach, in quest of prey, their

[2199] running to them, reared up and pawed them, dropping on all fours, again

[2264] No. Must be two of em. Glue em well. Mouth to her mouth’s kiss.

[2266] His lips lipped and mouthed fleshless lips of air: mouth to her moomb.

[2271] Turning his back to the sun he bent over far to a table of rock and

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

[2283] Somewhere to someone in your flutiest voice. The good bishop of Cloyne

[2290] sins, cling to us yet more, a woman to her lover clinging, the more the

[2446] Cruel. Her nature. Curious mice never squeal. Seem to like it. Wonder

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

[2456] narrowing with greed till her eyes were green stones. Then he went to

[2460] —Gurrhr! she cried, running to lap.

[2467] He listened to her licking lap. Ham and eggs, no. No good eggs with this

[2472] rough? To lap better, all porous holes. Nothing she can eat? He glanced

[2475] On quietly creaky boots he went up the staircase to the hall, paused by

[2639] The sting of disregard glowed to weak pleasure within his breast. For

[2663] planters’ company. To purchase waste sandy tracts from Turkish

[2681] hand, lift it to the nostrils and smell the perfume. Like that, heavy,

[2692] A cloud began to cover the sun slowly, wholly. Grey. Far.

[2701] all the earth, captivity to captivity, multiplying, dying, being born

[2719] sandals, along the brightening footpath. Runs, she runs to meet me, a

[2922] Her spoon ceased to stir up the sugar. She gazed straight before her,

[2935] back. Only a little burnt. He tossed it off the pan on to a plate and

[2939] He shore away the burnt flesh and flung it to the cat. Then he put a

[2941] meat. Done to a turn. A mouthful of tea. Then he cut away dies of bread,

[2945] gravy and raising it to his mouth.

[2954] and all the beef to the heels were in. We are going to lough Owel on

[2955] Monday with a few friends to make a scrap picnic. Give my love to

[2985] to wash down his meal. Then he read the letter again: twice.

[3021] The cat, having cleaned all her fur, returned to the meatstained paper,

[3022] nosed at it and stalked to the door. She looked back at him, mewing.

[3023] Wants to go out. Wait before a door sometime it will open. Let her wait.

[3025] with her back to the fire too.

[3028] undoing the waistband of his trousers. The cat mewed to him.

[3032] Heaviness: hot day coming. Too much trouble to fag up the stairs to the

[3035] A paper. He liked to read at stool. Hope no ape comes knocking just as

[3039] his armpit, went to the door and opened it. The cat went up in soft

[3040] bounds. Ah, wanted to go upstairs, curl up in a ball on the bed.

[3046] He went out through the backdoor into the garden: stood to listen

[3047] towards the next garden. No sound. Perhaps hanging clothes out to dry.

[3050] He bent down to regard a lean file of spearmint growing by the wall.

[3051] Make a summerhouse here. Scarlet runners. Virginia creepers. Want to

[5994] He went to the door and, holding it ajar, paused. J. J. O’Molloy

[6003] —I’m just running round to Bachelor’s walk, Mr Bloom said, about

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

[6022] —Show. Where? Lenehan cried, running to the window.

[6034] He began to mazurka in swift caricature across the floor on sliding feet

[6035] past the fireplace to J. J. O’Molloy who placed the tissues in his

[6210] Greece. Loyal to a lost cause.

[6217] —Boohoo! Lenehan wept with a little noise. Owing to a brick received

[6227] To wear them why trouble?

[6251] Lenehan, rising to tiptoe, fanned his face rapidly with the rustling

[6288] —I want you to write something for me, he said. Something with a bite

[6300] Stephen raised his eyes to the bold unheeding stare.

[6370] —F to P is the route Skin-the-Goat drove the car for an alibi,

[6538] took a cigarette from the case. J. J. O’Molloy offered his case to

[6550] interviewer that you came to him in the small hours of the morning to

[6582] He closed his long thin lips an instant but, eager to be on, raised

[6583] an outspanned hand to his spectacles and, with trembling thumb and

[6584] ringfinger touching lightly the black rims, steadied them to a new

[6612] since by my learned friend. It seemed to me that I had been transported

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

[6615] speech of some highpriest of that land addressed to the youthful Moses.

[6617] His listeners held their cigarettes poised to hear, their smokes

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

[6624] his words and their meaning was revealed to me.

[6628] It was revealed to me that those things are good which yet are corrupted

[13189] Pat, bald Pat is a waiter hard of hearing, to set ajar the door of the

[13191] to hear, for he was hard of hear by the door.

[13193] —Sorrow from me seemed to depart.

[13195] Through the hush of air a voice sang to them, low, not rain, not leaves

[13198] each his remembered lives. Good, good to hear: sorrow from them each

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

[13213] him. What perfume does your wife? I want to know. Jing. Stop. Knock.

[13224] his wife: now sings. But hard to tell. Only the two themselves. If he

[13252] The voice of Lionel returned, weaker but unwearied. It sang again to

[13253] Richie Poldy Lydia Lidwell also sang to Pat open mouth ear waiting to

[13254] wait. How first he saw that form endearing, how sorrow seemed to part,

[13279] to love to return with deepening yet with rising chords of harmony. In

[13291] it leaped serene, speeding, sustained, to come, don’t spin it out too

[13297] —To me!

[13417] you hear the words. Want to listen sharp. Hard. Begin all right: then

[13538] She held it to her own. And through the sifted light pale gold in

[13539] contrast glided. To hear.

[13549] Her ear too is a shell, the peeping lobe there. Been to the seaside.

[13572] From the forsaken shell miss Mina glided to her tankards waiting. No,

[13735] Ireland comes now. My country above the king. She listens. Who fears to

[13736] speak of nineteen four? Time to be shoving. Looked enough.

[13742] Bloom looked, unblessed to go. Got up to kill: on eighteen bob a week.

[13743] Fellows shell out the dibs. Want to keep your weathereye open. Those

[15072] never a truer, a finer than poor little Willy that’s dead to tell her.

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

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

[15091] the expressions which are most suitable to convey an emotion whose

[15504] —Poor old sir Frederick, says Alf, you can cod him up to the two eyes.

[15514] And he starts taking off the old recorder letting on to cry:

[15523] dare you, sir, come up before me and ask me to make an order! A poor

[16646] caps to match and the name H. M. S. Belleisle printed on both. For Tommy

[16652] Edy Boardman was rocking the chubby baby to and fro in the pushcar while

[16655] beginning to lisp his first babyish words. Cissy Caffrey bent over to

[16656] him to tease his fat little plucks and the dainty dimple in his chin.

[16752] kind fate but willed her to be born a gentlewoman of high degree in

[16756] and patrician suitors at her feet vying with one another to pay their

[16757] devoirs to her. Mayhap it was this, the love that might have been, that

[16758] lent to her softlyfeatured face at whiles a look, tense with suppressed

[16759] meaning, that imparted a strange yearning tendency to the beautiful

[16915] now with him and she told Cissy Caffrey not to give in to him.

[16919] But Cissy Caffrey told baby Boardman to look up, look up high at her

[16925] And she tickled tiny tot’s two cheeks to make him forget and

[16931] —I’d like to give him something, she said, so I would, where I

[16970] second to none. Over and over had she told herself that as she mused by

[16976] violence caused by intemperance and had seen her own father, a prey to

[16979] his hand to a woman save in the way of kindness, deserves to be branded

[17000] him for the rest of his days and he couldn’t even go to the funeral on

[17001] account of the gout and she had to go into town to bring him the letters

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

[17017] threecornered hat was offering a bunch of flowers to his ladylove with

[17025] pronouncing dictionary that belonged to grandpapa Giltrap about the

[17032] not slow to voice his dismay but luckily the gentleman in black who was

[17033] sitting there by himself came gallantly to the rescue and intercepted

[17035] to avoid trouble Cissy Caffrey called to the gentleman to throw it to

[17039] The twins clamoured again for it and Cissy told her to kick it away and

[17041] stupid ball hadn’t come rolling down to her and she gave a kick but

[17047] pretty cheek but she was determined to let them see so she just lifted

[17050] towards the shingle. Pure jealousy of course it was nothing else to draw

[17201] Sacrament and the choir began to sing the Tantum ergo and she just swung

[17202] her foot in and out in time as the music rose and fell to the Tantumer

[17208] head to see the difference for himself.

[17211] her hat anyhow on her to one side after her run and she did look a

[17214] hanging like a caricature. Gerty just took off her hat for a moment to

[17225] to brow till the lovely colour of her face became a glorious rose.

[17228] half smiling, with her specs like an old maid, pretending to nurse the

[17231] hers. And she said to Gerty:

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

[17239] their babby home to the mischief out of that so that was why she just

[17242] past kissing time, time to kiss again. But Edy wanted to know because

[17243] they were told to be in early.

[17249] hand out of his pocket, getting nervous, and beginning to play with his

[17256] Cissy said to excuse her would he mind please telling her what was the

[17257] right time and Gerty could see him taking out his watch, listening to it

[17267] Father Conroy that one of the candles was just going to set fire to the

[17269] see the gentleman winding his watch and listening to the works and she

[17272] or whatever he was doing to it and then he put it back and put his hands

[17279] a man’s passionate gaze it was there plain to be seen on that man’s

[17282] Edy began to get ready to go and it was high time for her and Gerty

[17284] because it was a long way along the strand to where there was the place

[17285] to push up the pushcar and Cissy took off the twins’ caps and tidied

[17286] their hair to make herself attractive of course and Canon O’Hanlon

[17288] him the card to read off and he read out Panem de coelo praestitisti eis

[17296] was. Gerty’s lips parted swiftly to frame the word but she fought back

[17297] the sob that rose to her throat, so slim, so flawless, so beautifully

[17300] he would never understand what he had meant to her and for an instant

[17303] sympathy as she glanced at her new conquest for them to see.

[17310] voice that told that she was not a one to be lightly trifled with. As

[17314] pieces. And if ever after he dared to presume she could give him one

[17316] puny little Edy’s countenance fell to no slight extent and Gerty could

[17359] of that lovely confession album with the coralpink cover to write her

[17379] effort would be to share his thoughts. Dearer than the whole world

[17380] would she be to him and gild his days with happiness. There was the

[17381] allimportant question and she was dying to know was he a married man or

[17383] with the foreign name from the land of song had to have her put into a

[17384] madhouse, cruel only to be kind. But even if—what then? Would it make

[17389] degrading the sex and being taken up to the police station. No, no:

[17393] beyond recall. She thought she understood. She would try to understand

[17404] Conroy handed him his hat to put on and crosscat Edy asked wasn’t she

[17414] And they all ran down the strand to see over the houses and the church,

[17426] alone without the others to pry and pass remarks and she knew he could

[17427] be trusted to the death, steadfast, a sterling man, a man of inflexible

[17428] honour to his fingertips. His hands and face were working and a tremour

[17429] went over her. She leaned back far to look up where the fireworks were

[17430] and she caught her knee in her hands so as not to fall back looking up

[17431] and there was no-one to see only him and her when she revealed all her

[17433] rounded, and she seemed to hear the panting of his heart, his hoarse

[17438] papers of those skirtdancers and highkickers and she said he used to do

[17441] all the difference because she could almost feel him draw her face to

[17444] married and there ought to be women priests that would understand

[17450] And Jacky Caffrey shouted to look, there was another and she leaned back

[17451] and the garters were blue to match on account of the transparent and

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

[17453] she leaned back ever so far to see the fireworks and something queer was

[17454] flying through the air, a soft thing, to and fro, dark. And she saw a

[17457] higher and she had to lean back more and more to look up after it, high,

[17466] ashamed and he wasn’t either to look in that immodest way like that

[17469] looking and he kept on looking, looking. She would fain have cried to

[17470] him chokingly, held out her snowy slender arms to him to come, to feel

[17484] brute he had been! At it again? A fair unsullied soul had called to him

[17489] secret, only theirs, alone in the hiding twilight and there was none to

[17491] to and fro and little bats don’t tell.

[17493] Cissy Caffrey whistled, imitating the boys in the football field to show

[17501] too far to. She rose. Was it goodbye? No. She had to go but they would

[17503] her dream of yester eve. She drew herself up to her full height. Their

[17509] Slowly, without looking back she went down the uneven strand to Cissy,

[17510] to Edy to Jacky and Tommy Caffrey, to little baby Boardman. It was

[17527] that nun told me liked to smell rock oil. Virgins go mad in the end I

[17535] gouger M’Coy stopping me to say nothing. And his wife engagement in

[17547] all on to take them all off. Molly. Why I bought her the violet garters.

[17552] Dressed up to the nines for somebody. Fashion part of their charm. Just

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

[17557] themselves. And the others inclined to give her an odd dig. Girl friends

[17562] write to me. And I’ll write to you. Now won’t you? Molly and Josie

[17565] have you been doing with yourself? Kiss and delighted to, kiss, to

[17574] foot. O that way! O, that’s exquisite! Feel it myself too. Good to

[17575] rest once in a way. Wonder if it’s bad to go with them then. Safe in

[17585] plastery hair, lovelock over his dexter optic. To aid gentleman in

[17586] literary. Ought to attend to my appearance my age. Didn’t let her

[17589] Took off her hat to show her hair. Wide brim. Bought to hide her face,

[17590] meeting someone might know her, bend down or carry a bunch of flowers to

[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

[17599] Dust. Shark liver oil they use to clean. Could do it myself. Save. Was

[17607] limping devil. Begins to feel cold and clammy. Aftereffect not pleasant.

[17608] Still you have to get rid of it someway. They don’t care. Complimented

[17609] perhaps. Go home to nicey bread and milky and say night prayers with the

[17617] have. Makes you want to sing after. Lacaus esant taratara. Suppose I

[17618] spoke to her. What about? Bad plan however if you don’t know how to

[17623] spoke to Mrs Clinch O thinking she was. Whew! Girl in Meath street that

[17625] arks she called it. It’s so hard to find one who. Aho! If you don’t

[17631] of it. Different with me. Glad to get away from other chap’s wife.

[17637] she once knew a gentleman who. Or ask you what someone was going to say

[17639] I want to, something like that. Because I did. She too. Offend her.

[17640] Then make it up. Pretend to want something awfully, then cry off for her

[17642] time. What harm? Must since she came to the use of reason, he, he and

[17654] be, waiting for something to happen. Want to be grownups. Dressing in

[17658] in Jammet’s wore her veil only to her nose. Would you mind, please,

[17672] under the bed for what’s not there. Longing to get the fright of their

[17673] lives. Sharp as needles they are. When I said to Molly the man at the

[17676] Typist going up Roger Greene’s stairs two at a time to show her

[17677] understandings. Handed down from father to, mother to daughter, I mean.

[17679] mirror to save the ironing. Best place for an ad to catch a woman’s

[17680] eye on a mirror. And when I sent her for Molly’s Paisley shawl to

[17684] shaking it, to let the blood flow back when it was red. Who did you

[17690] of her calf. Transparent stockings, stretched to breaking point. Not

[17692] street. White. Wow! Beef to the heel.

[17695] zrads, zrads, zrads. And Cissy and Tommy and Jacky ran out to see and

[17714] Wiping pens in their stockings. But the ball rolled down to her as if

[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

[17723] Oughtn’t to have given that child an empty teat to suck. Fill it up

[17724] with wind. Mrs Beaufoy, Purefoy. Must call to the hospital. Wonder is

[17725] nurse Callan there still. She used to look over some nights when Molly

[17731] was I drunk last night? Bad policy however to fault the husband.

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

[17736] locked up at home, skeleton in the cupboard. Allow me to introduce my.

[17738] what to call her. Always see a fellow’s weak point in his wife. Still

[17740] them. Chaps that would go to the dogs if some woman didn’t take them

[17750] Other hand a sixfooter with a wifey up to his watchpocket. Long and

[17763] you’re a man to see that and, like a sneeze coming, legs, look, look

[17764] and if you have any guts in you. Tip. Have to let fly.

[17778] you this to think of me when I’m far away on the pillow. What is it?

[17792] anything, like rainbow colours without knowing it. Clings to everything

[17794] kick, taking them off. Byby till next time. Also the cat likes to sniff

[17810] that are supposed to be are different. Women buzz round it like flies

[17811] round treacle. Railed off the altar get on to it at any cost. The tree

[17812] of forbidden priest. O, father, will you? Let me be the first to. That

[17822] could mention Meagher’s just to remind him. Still if he works that

[17835] don’t mock what matter? That’s the way to find out. Ask yourself

[17845] Howth. Bailey light. Two, four, six, eight, nine. See. Has to change or

[17848] flash better. Women. Light is a kind of reassuring. Not going to hurt

[17851] Scowl or smile. Pardon! Not at all. Best time to spray plants too in

[17860] Dew falling. Bad for you, dear, to sit on that stone. Brings on white

[17864] position. Like to be that rock she sat on. O sweet little, you don’t

[17865] know how nice you looked. I begin to like them at that age. Green

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

[17886] same. Like kids your second visit to a house. The new I want. Nothing

[17891] old major, partial to his drop of spirits. Curious she an only child,

[17906] out, I suppose. Mass seems to be over. Could hear them all at it. Pray

[17919] to stamp his trademark on everything. Instance, that cat this morning on

[17932] be the one bit me, come back to see. Birds too. Never find out. Or what

[17934] to fly over the ocean and back. Lots must be killed in storms, telegraph

[17937] ballagh! Out of that, bloody curse to you! Others in vessels, bit of a

[17945] no what’s this they call it poor papa’s father had on his door to

[17948] never know what dangers. Hanging on to a plank or astride of a beam for

[17959] shepherd’s hour: the hour of folding: hour of tryst. From house to

[17978] the zoo. Filthy trip. Drunkards out to shake up their livers. Puking

[17979] overboard to feed the herrings. Nausea. And the women, fear of God in

[17983] didn’t want to. Mamma! Mamma! Babes in the wood. Frightening them with

[17984] masks too. Throwing them up in the air to catch them. I’ll murder you.

[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.

[17993] Made me laugh to see. Little paps to begin with. Left one is more

[18000] men to cross the lines. Looking out over the sea she told me. Evening

[18008] Leah, Lily of Killarney. No. Might be still up. Call to the hospital to

[18012] what I said about his God made him wince. Mistake to hit back. Or? No.

[18013] Ought to go home and laugh at themselves. Always want to be swilling in

[18014] company. Afraid to be alone like a child of two. Suppose he hit me. Look

[18015] at it other way round. Not so bad then. Perhaps not to hurt he meant.

[18019] Borneo has just come to town. Imagine that in the early morning at close

[18020] range. Everyone to his taste as Morris said when he kissed the cow. But

[18022] you never know. Anyhow she wants the money. Must call to those Scottish

[18024] to pop off first. That widow on Monday was it outside Cramer’s that

[18026] premium. Her widow’s mite. Well? What do you expect her to do? Must

[18027] wheedle her way along. Widower I hate to see. Looks so forlorn. Poor man

[18029] Hopeless. Some good matronly woman in a porkpie hat to mother him. Take

[18033] handsome for tomorrow we die. See him sometimes walking about trying to

[18035] a shop often noticed. Curse seems to dog it. Dreamt last night? Wait.

[18037] Suppose she does? Would I like her in pyjamas? Damned hard to answer.

[18040] something to put in them. What’s that? Might be money.

[18044] go. Better. I’m tired to move. Page of an old copybook. All those

[18047] post. Children always want to throw things in the sea. Trust? Bread cast

[18076] if you were trying to do that for a week on end you couldn’t. Chance.

[18082] won’t go. Race there, race back to Ennis. Let him. Just close my eyes

[18110] to tell the time that Gerty MacDowell noticed the time she was there

14. Oxen of the Sun

[18135] mortals with sapience endowed to be studied who is ignorant of that

[18147] the contrary anyone so is there unilluminated as not to perceive that

[18149] behoves every most just citizen to become the exhortator and admonisher

[18150] of his semblables and to tremble lest what had in the past been by the

[18153] traduced the honourable by ancestors transmitted customs to that thither

[18155] hardihood to rise affirming that no more odious offence can for anyone

[18180] To her nothing already then and thenceforward was anyway able to be

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

[18183] eternity gods mortals generation to befit them her beholding, when the

[18185] desire immense among all one another was impelling on of her to be

[18189] to be about to be cherished had been begun she felt!

[18194] now done and by wise foresight set: but to this no less of what drugs

[18195] there is need and surgical implements which are pertaining to her

[18198] and human, the cogitation of which by sejunct females is to tumescence

[18201] thereto to lie in, her term up.

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

[18209] so God’s angel to Mary quoth. Watchers tway there walk, white sisters

[18215] with swire ywimpled to him her gate wide undid. Lo, levin leaping

[18222] Loth to irk in Horne’s hall hat holding the seeker stood. On her stow

[18225] meeting he to her bow had not doffed. Her to forgive now he craved with

[18233] O’Hare Doctor in heaven was. Sad was the man that word to hear that

[18236] to withsay. She said that he had a fair sweet death through God His

[18237] goodness with masspriest to be shriven, holy housel and sick men’s oil

[18238] to his limbs. The man then right earnest asked the nun of which death

[18241] and she prayed to God the Allruthful to have his dear soul in his

[18245] Therefore, everyman, look to that last end that is thy death and the

[18248] last for to go as he came.

[18250] The man that was come in to the house then spoke to the nursingwoman and

[18253] now full three days and that it would be a hard birth unneth to bear

[18256] birth. Then she set it all forth to him for because she knew the man

[18257] that time was had lived nigh that house. The man hearkened to her words

[18259] motherhood and he wondered to look on her face that was a fair face for

[18260] any man to see but yet was she left after long years a handmaid. Nine

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

[18268] learningknight lay by cause the traveller Leopold came there to be

[18272] said now that he should go in to that castle for to make merry with

[18278] him in aught contrarious to his list and he said how it was a marvellous

[18279] castle. And the traveller Leopold went into the castle for to rest him

[18290] blases in to them like to bubbles. And full fair cheer and rich was on

[18292] a vat of silver that was moved by craft to open in the which lay strange

[18296] that therein is like to the juices of the olivepress. And also it was

[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

[18302] brewage like to mead.

[18306] Leopold did up his beaver for to pleasure him and took apertly somewhat

[18310] them for to rest him there awhile. Thanked be Almighty God.

[18313] reverence of Jesu our alther liege Lord to leave their wassailing for

[18320] one emprise and eke by cause that he was elder he spoke to him full

[18323] And the franklin that had drunken said, Expecting each moment to be her

[18325] none asking nor desiring of him to drink and, Now drink, said he, fully

[18326] delectably, and he quaffed as far as he might to their both’s health

[18331] service to lady gentle pledged him courtly in the cup. Woman’s woe

[18334] Now let us speak of that fellowship that was there to the intent to be

[18336] side the board, that is to wit, Dixon yclept junior of saint Mary

[18344] he promised to have come and such as intended to no goodness said how

[18346] friendship to sir Simon and to this his son young Stephen and for that

[18349] led on with will to wander, loth to leave.

[18353] put such case it were hard the wife to die (for so it had fallen out a

[18360] conscience to let her die. And not few and of these was young Lynch

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

[18367] franklin Lenehan was prompt each when to pour them ale so that at the

[18370] rede of palmer and bedesman and for a vow he had made to Saint Ultan of

[18372] all wondrous grieved. To whom young Stephen had these words following:

[18378] to those small creatures within us and nature has other ends than we.

[18379] Then said Dixon junior to Punch Costello wist he what ends. But he had

[18382] it so fortuned him to be delivered of his spleen of lustihead. Whereat

[18387] he was able to do any manner of thing that lay in man to do. Thereat

[18394] or by potency of vampires mouth to mouth or, as Virgilius saith, by the

[18397] peradventure in her bath according to the opinions of Averroes and Moses

[18401] to bear beastly should die by canon for so saith he that holdeth the

[18404] Leopold would he in like case so jeopard her person as risk life to save

[18406] to jaw, he said dissembling, as his wont was, that as it was informed

[18413] from the poor lendeth to the Lord for he was of a wild manner when he

[18437] of my body but my soul’s bodiment. Leave ye fraction of bread to them

[18442] writ. They all admired to see the foresaid riches in such dearth of

[18446] a bramblebush to be a rose upon the rood of time. Mark me now. In

[18452] that She hath an omnipotentiam deiparae supplicem, that is to wit, an

[18475] not meet as she remembered them being her mind was to have all orderly

[18485] thou dykedropt, thou abortion thou, to shut up his drunken drool out

[18488] time’s occasion as most sacred and most worthy to be most sacred. In

[18491] To be short this passage was scarce by when Master Dixon of Mary in

[18493] had not cided to take friar’s vows and he answered him obedience in

[18498] intershowed it too, waxing merry and toasting to his fathership. But he

[18499] said very entirely it was clean contrary to their suppose for he was

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

[18503] to be in guise of white and saffron, her groom in white and grain, with

[18508] in their Maid’s Tragedy that was writ for a like twining of lovers: To

[18509] bed, to bed was the burden of it to be played with accompanable concent

[18512] paranymphs have escorted to the quadrupedal proscenium of connubial

[18515] troth, of such a mingling much might come. Young Stephen said indeed to

[18517] the stews to make shift with in delights amorous for life ran very high

[18520] his friend. Go thou and do likewise. Thus, or words to that effect,

[18521] saith Zarathustra, sometime regius professor of French letters to the

[18522] university of Oxtail nor breathed there ever that man to whom mankind

[18527] broughtedst in a stranger to my gates to commit fornication in my

[18528] sight and to wax fat and kick like Jeshurum. Therefore hast thou

[18529] sinned against my light and hast made me, thy lord, to be the slave of

[18532] a merchant of jalaps and didst deny me to the Roman and to the Indian of

[18539] kissed my mouth. This tenebrosity of the interior, he proceeded to say,

[18556] no man knows the ubicity of his tumulus nor to what processes we shall

[18557] thereby be ushered nor whether to Tophet or to Edenville in the like way

[18571] that hist his heart. And Master Lynch bade him have a care to flout and

[18573] he that had erst challenged to be so doughty waxed wan as they might all

[18577] mock and some jeer and Punch Costello fell hard again to his yale which

[18581] not lag behind his lead. But this was only to dye his desperation as

[18582] cowed he crouched in Horne’s hall. He drank indeed at one draught to

[18586] braggart’s side, spoke to him calming words to slumber his great fear,

[18594] other? He was neither as much as he would have liked to be either. But

[18595] could he not have endeavoured to have found again as in his youth the

[18597] there to find that bottle. Heard he then in that clap the voice of the

[18602] as he was like the rest too a passing show. And would he not accept to

[18605] has commanded them to do by the book Law. Then wotted he nought of that

[18607] which behoves to the king Delightful and shall be for ever where there

[18610] Chaste had pointed him to the way but the reason was that in the way he

[18613] path by her flatteries that she said to him as, Ho, you pretty man, turn

[18637] contrariwise to his word which forth to bring brenningly biddeth.

[18643] too. Hard to breathe and all the young quicks clean consumed without

[18644] sprinkle this long while back as no man remembered to be without. The

[18650] the west, biggish swollen clouds to be seen as the night increased and

[18657] Merrion green up to Holles street a swash of water flowing that was

[18660] Fitzgibbon’s door (that is to sit with Mr Healy the lawyer upon the

[18664] are now in with dance cloaks of Kendal green) that was new got to town

[18667] there, he bound home and he to Andrew Horne’s being stayed for to

[18669] heifer, big of her age and beef to the heel, and all this while poured

[18670] with rain and so both together on to Horne’s. There Leop. Bloom of

[18677] those in ken to be for a change and Mistress Purefoy there, that got in

[18679] past her term, the midwives sore put to it and can’t deliver, she

[18694] gazette) to have three things in all but this a mere fetch without

[18698] With this came up Lenehan to the feet of the table to say how the letter

[18699] was in that night’s gazette and he made a show to find it about him

[18701] Stephen’s persuasion he gave over the search and was bidden to sit

[18704] horseflesh or hot scandal he had it pat. To tell the truth he was mean

[18716] Frank (that was his name), ’tis all about Kerry cows that are to be

[18719] in this tin as ever came out of it and very friendly he offered to

[18723] French language that had been indentured to a brandyshipper that has a

[18726] who could ill keep him to school to learn his letters and the use of

[18727] the globes, matriculated at the university to study the mechanics but

[18732] for the ocean sea or to hoof it on the roads with the romany folk,

[18735] as a cat has lives and back again with naked pockets as many more to his

[18737] What, says Mr Leopold with his hands across, that was earnest to know

[18739] day morning going to the Liverpool boats, says he. I can scarce believe

[18749] Muscovy, with a bolus or two of physic to take the bull by the horns.

[18754] says Mr Dixon. It is that same bull that was sent to our island by

[18767] friend, says Mr Vincent, for to make up he taught him a trick worth two

[18768] of the other so that maid, wife, abbess and widow to this day affirm

[18777] could doss and dung to his heart’s content. By this time the father of

[18779] scarce walk to pasture. To remedy which our cozening dames and damsels

[18781] full he would rear up on his hind quarters to show their ladyships a

[18784] nought to grow in all the land but green grass for himself (for that was

[18785] the only colour to his mind) and there was a board put up on a hillock

[18798] pelt to go to dinner after winning a boatrace (he had spade oars for

[18799] himself but the first rule of the course was that the others were to row

[18800] with pitchforks) he discovered in himself a wonderful likeness to a bull

[18807] running off him, he got into an old smock and skirt that had belonged to

[18808] his grandmother and bought a grammar of the bulls’ language to study

[18811] a walk he filled his pockets with chalk to write it upon what took his

[18818] yards, sprang their luff, heaved to, spread three sheets in the wind,

[18821] pushed off in their bumboat and put to sea to recover the main of

[18830] who had late come to town, it being his intention to buy a colour or a

[18832] enough to express some relish of it all the more as it jumped with a

[18834] on. Whereat he handed round to the company a set of pasteboard cards

[18837] Lambay Island. His project, as he went on to expound, was to withdraw

[18839] Fopling Popinjay and sir Milksop Quidnunc in town and to devote himself

[18840] to the noblest task for which our bodily organism has been framed. Well,

[18846] prohibitory, whether the inhibition in its turn were due to conjugal

[18847] vexations or to a parsimony of the balance as well as whether the

[18849] acquired. It grieved him plaguily, he said, to see the nuptial couch

[18850] defrauded of its dearest pledges: and to reflect upon so many agreeable

[18851] females with rich jointures, a prey to the vilest bonzes, who hide their

[18855] their sex when a hundred pretty fellows were at hand to caress, this, he

[18856] assured them, made his heart weep. To curb this inconvenient (which

[18857] he concluded due to a suppression of latent heat), having advised with

[18859] resolved to purchase in fee simple for ever the freehold of Lambay

[25257] Preparatory to anything else Mr Bloom brushed off the greater bulk of

[25261] bit unsteady and on his expressed desire for some beverage to drink Mr

[25267] soda or a mineral. But how to get there was the rub. For the nonce he

[25269] to take some measures on the subject he pondered suitable ways and means

[25271] rather pale in the face so that it occurred to him as highly advisable

[25272] to get a conveyance of some description which would answer in their

[25274] assuming that there was such a thing to be found. Accordingly after a

[25276] to take up his rather soapsuddy handkerchief after it had done yeoman

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

[25283] hire anywhere to be seen except a fourwheeler, probably engaged by some

[25286] anything but a professional whistler, endeavoured to hail it by emitting

[25289] This was a quandary but, bringing common sense to bear on it, evidently

[25295] to vary the timehonoured adage, gone the way of all buttons though,

[25302] sandstrewer happened to be returning and the elder man recounted to his

[25307] backdoor of the morgue (a not very enticing locality, not to say

[25308] gruesome to a degree, more especially at night) ultimately gained the

[25311] unlit warehouses of Beresford place Stephen thought to think of Ibsen,

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

[25321] En route to his taciturn and, not to put too fine a point on it, not

[25336] solicitor rather, old Wall, he meant to say, or Mahony which simply

[25341] street, prepared to swear a hole through a ten gallon pot. Never on

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

[25346] any description liable to go off at any time which was tantamount to

[25356] invariably drew the line as it simply led to trouble all round to say

[25362] —And that one was Judas, Stephen said, who up to then had said nothing

[25369] no special reason to look at the heap of barren cobblestones and by

[25372] began to remember that this had happened or had been mentioned as having

[25375] Gumley. To avoid a meeting he drew nearer to the pillars of the railway

[25385] Stephen of course started rather dizzily and stopped to return the

[25391] to nothing to live on to be abroad waylaying and generally terrorising

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

[25397] to point a moral, gagged and garrotted.

[25399] Stephen, that is when the accosting figure came to close quarters,

[25416] Taking Stephen on one side he had the customary doleful ditty to tell.

[25417] Not as much as a farthing to purchase a night’s lodgings. His friends

[25419] him to Stephen a mean bloody swab with a sprinkling of a number of other

[25420] uncalledfor expressions. He was out of a job and implored of Stephen to

[25422] to do. No, it was the daughter of the mother in the washkitchen that

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

[25425] time if the whole thing wasn’t a complete fabrication from start to

[25439] —I have no place to sleep myself, Stephen informed him.

[25441] Corley at the first go-off was inclined to suspect it was something to

[25446] over in Winetavern street (which was distantly suggestive to the person

[25459] affluence and hadn’t a thing to do but hand out the needful. Whereas.

[25461] there but thinking he might lend him anything up to a bob or so in lieu

[25462] so that he might endeavour at all events and get sufficient to eat but

[25463] the result was in the negative for, to his chagrin, he found his cash

[25465] He tried his hardest to recollect for the moment whether he had lost

[25468] fagged out to institute a thorough search though he tried to recollect.

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

[25482] good word for us to get me taken on there. I’d carry a sandwichboard

[25484] weeks, man. God, you’ve to book ahead, man, you’d think it was for

[25491] bookkeeper there that used to be often round in Nagle’s back with

[25494] disorderly and refusing to go with the constable.

[25503] where he was not in a position to truthfully state nor had he the

[25505] to not a few in point of shrewd observation he also remarked on his very

[25506] dilapidated hat and slouchy wearing apparel generally testifying to a

[25509] neighbour all round, in every deep, so to put it, a deeper depth and for

[25510] the matter of that if the man in the street chanced to be in the dock

[25517] practised eye, was not without perceiving that he had succumbed to the

[25518] blandiloquence of the other parasite. Alluding to the encounter he said,

[25521] —He is down on his luck. He asked me to ask you to ask somebody named

[25522] Boylan, a billsticker, to give him a job as a sandwichman.

[25531] his face was familiar to me. But, leaving that for the moment, how much

[25534] —Half a crown, Stephen responded. I daresay he needs it to sleep

[25539] invariably does. Everyone according to his needs or everyone according

[25540] to his deeds. But, talking about things in general, where, added he with

[25541] a smile, will you sleep yourself? Walking to Sandycove is out of the

[25544] don’t mean to presume to dictate to you in the slightest degree but

[25547] —To seek misfortune, was Stephen’s answer.

[25550] diplomatically returned, today in fact, or to be strictly accurate, on

[25564] station belonged to them to give Stephen the slip in the confusion,

[25567] There was no response forthcoming to the suggestion however, such as it

[25571] shell cocoa that was in the sootcoated kettle to be done so that she

[25576] in accordance with the third precept of the church to fast and abstain

[25584] probability he never realised what it is to be without regular meals. Of

[25586] me the least surprise to learn that a pinch of tobacco or some narcotic

[25590] allround man, by no means confined to medicine only, who was rapidly

[25591] coming to the fore in his line and, if the report was verified, bade

[25592] fair to enjoy a flourishing practice in the not too distant future as

[25594] in addition to which professional status his rescue of that man from

[25596] aid at Skerries, or Malahide was it?, was, he was bound to admit, an

[25598] frankly he was utterly at a loss to fathom what earthly reason could be

[25599] at the back of it except he put it down to sheer cussedness or jealousy,

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

[25603] picking your brains, he ventured to throw out.

[25608] problem as to whether he had let himself be badly bamboozled to judge by

[25610] through the affair and for some reason or other best known to himself

[25611] allowed matters to more or less. Grinding poverty did have that effect

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

[25634] wooden structure, where, prior to then, he had rarely if ever been

[25635] before, the former having previously whispered to the latter a few

[25636] hints anent the keeper of it said to be the once famous Skin-the-Goat

[25640] only to be greeted by stares from the decidedly miscellaneous collection

[25645] —Now touching a cup of coffee, Mr Bloom ventured to plausibly suggest

[25646] to break the ice, it occurs to me you ought to sample something in the

[25649] Accordingly his first act was with characteristic sangfroid to order

[25654] some appreciable time before transferring his rapt attention to the

[25656] just a bowing acquaintance with the language in dispute, though, to be

[25657] sure, rather in a quandary over voglio, remarked to his protégé in an

[25665] Stephen, who was trying his dead best to yawn if he could, suffering

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

[25671] inward reflection of there being more languages to start with than were

[25678] which he beat a retreat to his counter, Mr Bloom determining to have

[25679] a good square look at him later on so as not to appear to. For which

[25680] reason he encouraged Stephen to proceed with his eyes while he did

[25682] supposed to be called coffee gradually nearer him.

[25688] —Yes, to be sure, Mr Bloom unaffectedly concurred. Of course. Our name

[25721] of his own accord turned to the other occupants of the shelter with the

[25728] gestures being also clumsy as it was still he did his best to explain.

[25747] —Buffalo Bill shoots to kill,

[25757] —Why, the sailor replied, relaxing to a certain extent under the magic

[25762] —Curious coincidence, Mr Bloom confided to Stephen unobtrusively.

[25776] to the mariner’s roadside shieling after having diddled Davy Jones,

[25782] Never about the runaway wife coming back, however much devoted to the

[25786] but I’ve come to stay and make a fresh start. There she sits, a

[25792] ro! and my galloping tearing tandy, O! Bow to the inevitable. Grin

[25796] The sailor, who scarcely seemed to be a Dublin resident, turned to one

[25799] —You don’t happen to have such a thing as a spare chaw about you?

[25803] passed from hand to hand.

[25811] from Bridgwater with bricks. I shipped to get over. Paid off this

[25815] and handed to his neighbour a not very cleanlooking folded document.

[25841] He fumbled out a picture postcard from his inside pocket which seemed to

[25860] —Know how to keep them off? he inquired generally.

[25867] card to peruse the partially obliterated address and postmark. It ran

[25875] he represented himself to be and not sailing under false colours

[25879] a way of a longcherished plan he meant to one day realise some Wednesday

[25880] or Saturday of travelling to London via long sea not to say that he had

[25881] ever travelled extensively to any great extent but he was at heart a

[25883] a landlubber except you call going to Holyhead which was his longest.

[25886] the scheme fell through. But even suppose it did come to planking

[25888] purse permitting, a few guineas at the outside considering the fare to

[25896] wealth of Park lane to renew acquaintance with. Another thing just

[25898] on the spot to see about trying to make arrangements about a concert

[25907] as leading lady as a sort of counterblast to the Elster Grimes and

[25914] to be opened up in the line of opening up new routes to keep pace with

[25919] and enterprise to meet the travelling needs of the public at large, the

[25923] small blame to our vaunted society that the man in the street, when the

[25941] signal benefits to be derived from it while Howth with its historic

[25949] in its infancy, so to speak, and the accommodation left much to be

[25950] desired. Interesting to fathom it seemed to him from a motive of

[25953] other side of the card, picture, and passed it along to Stephen.

[25962] globetrotter went on, adhering to his adventures.

[25972] your God, says he. Chuk! It went into his back up to the butt.

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

[25980] After which harrowing dénouement sufficient to appal the stoutest he

[25981] snapped the blade to and stowed the weapon in question away as before in

[26002] vividly recollected when the occurrence alluded to took place as well

[26005] speaking, early in the eighties, eightyone to be correct, when he was

[26019] but he failed to do so, simply letting spirt a jet of spew into the

[26031] likely to get a great deal of change out of such a wily old customer,

[26032] fell to woolgathering on the enormous dimensions of the water about the

[26033] globe, suffice it to say that, as a casual glance at the map revealed,

[26035] what it meant to rule the waves. On more than one occasion, a dozen

[26040] somewhere sings. And it left him wondering why. Possibly he had tried to

[26043] tempting the fates. And the odds were twenty to nil there was really no

[26046] its glory and in the natural course of things somebody or other had to

[26047] sail on it and fly in the face of providence though it merely went to

[26048] show how people usually contrived to load that sort of onus on to the

[26051] other lifeboat Sunday was a highly laudable institution to which the

[26053] might be, having it brought home to them like that should extend its

[26054] gratitude also to the harbourmasters and coastguard service who had

[26055] to man the rigging and push off and out amid the elements whatever the

[26134] Bloom, scarcely knowing which way to look, turned away on the moment

[26143] rather vague than not, your washing. Still candour compelled him to

[26147] really loved him, that is to say, love me, love my dirty shirt. Still

[26150] a rude sign to take herself off. Round the side of the Evening Telegraph

[26158] —It beats me, Mr Bloom confided to Stephen, medically I am speaking,

[26160] disease can be barefaced enough to solicit or how any man in his sober

[26169] roaring trade. Fear not them that sell the body but have not power to

[26173] said it was nothing short of a crying scandal that ought to be put a

[26174] stop to instanter to say that women of that stamp (quite apart from any

[26189] Thus cornered, Stephen had to make a superhuman effort of memory to try

[26195] can hear, is quite capable of adding that to the number of His other

[26201] he felt bound to enter a demurrer on the head of simple, promptly

[26205] grant you, to concede a point, you do knock across a simple soul once in

[26206] a blue moon. But what I am anxious to arrive at is it is one thing for

[26207] instance to invent those rays Röntgen did or the telescope like Edison,

[26209] and the same applies to the laws, for example, of a farreaching natural

[26211] colour to say you believe in the existence of a supernatural God.

[26221] —Has been? the more experienced of the two objected, sticking to his

[26224] sectarian side of the business, I beg to differ with you in toto there.

[26225] My belief is, to tell you the candid truth, that those bits were genuine

[26234] —Couldn’t, Stephen contrived to get out, his mental organs for the

[26235] moment refusing to dictate further.

[26237] Faultfinding being a proverbially bad hat Mr Bloom thought well to stir

[26238] or try to the clotted sugar from the bottom and reflected with something

[26240] lucrative) work. To be sure it was a legitimate object and beyond yea or

[26247] her pianoplaying. The idea, he was strongly inclined to believe, was

[26248] to do good and net a profit, there being no competition to speak

[26252] of all eatables seemed to him more than ever necessary which possibly

[26256] —Have a shot at it now, he ventured to say of the coffee after being

[26259] Thus prevailed on to at any rate taste it Stephen lifted the heavy mug

[26266] mental or manual. You ought to eat more solid food. You would feel a

[26275] antique about it to the lay eye, observing that the point was the least

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

[26292] wellpreserved man of no little stamina, if a trifle prone to baldness,

[26294] delivery and it required no violent stretch of imagination to associate

[26298] and had served his four or five goodlooking years in durance vile to say

[26299] nothing of the Antonio personage (no relation to the dramatic personage

[26305] seas to draw the long bow about the schooner Hesperus and etcetera.

[26307] couldn’t probably hold a proverbial candle to the wholesale whoppers

[26317] sinews or whatever you like to call them behind the right knee, were

[26321] However reverting to friend Sinbad and his horrifying adventures (who

[26325] of admirers came in large numbers, everyone simply flocking to hear him

[26330] was none the less free to admit those icecreamers and friers in the fish

[26331] way not to mention the chip potato variety and so forth over in little

[26333] except perhaps a bit too given to pothunting the harmless necessary

[26334] animal of the feline persuasion of others at night so as to have a good

[26339] that, impetuous as Old Nick, are given to taking the law into their own

[26342] My wife is, so to speak, Spanish, half that is. Point of fact she could

[26354] —Then, Stephen said staring and rambling on to himself or some unknown

[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,

[26369] simply hate to see.

[26371] Interest, however, was starting to flag somewhat all round and then the

[26372] others got on to talking about accidents at sea, ships lost in a fog,

[26374] had his own say to say. He had doubled the cape a few odd times and

[26376] those perils of the deep there was one thing, he declared, stood to him

[26377] or words to that effect, a pious medal he had that saved him.

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

[26394] to unfurl a reef the sailor vacated his seat.

[26396] —Let me cross your bows mate, he said to his neighbour who was just

[26399] He made tracks heavily, slowly with a dumpy sort of a gait to the door,

[26405] applying its nozzle to his lips, take a good old delectable swig out of

[26413] or persons invisible directed him to the male urinal erected by the

[26429] time which of course the doublebarrelled ass proceeded to make general

[26432] He drank needless to be told and it pointed only once more a moral

[26434] however—he had contrived to cure himself of his particular partiality.

[26445] What he wanted to ascertain was why that ship ran bang against the only

[26470] provided. Skin-the-Goat, assuming he was he, evidently with an axe to

[26474] the face of God’s earth, far and away superior to England, with coal

[26487] in history. The Germans and the Japs were going to have their little

[26490] Achilles heel, which he explained to them about the vulnerable point

[26492] completely gripped their attention by showing the tendon referred to

[26493] on his boot. His advice to every Irishman was: stay in the land of your

[26501] bit peeved in response to the foregoing truism.

[26503] To which cold douche referring to downfall and so on the keeper

[26504] concurred but nevertheless held to his main view.

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

[26519] irascible words when it waxed hotter, both, needless to say, appealing

[26520] to the listeners who followed the passage of arms with interest so long

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

[26524] rather inclined to poohpooh the suggestion as egregious balderdash for,

[26539] of the place rumoured to be or have been Fitzharris, the famous

[26545] feeling and most properly it was better to give people like that the

[26546] goby unless you were a blithering idiot altogether and refuse to have

[26547] anything to do with them as a golden rule in private life and their

[26556] political convictions (though, personally, he would never be a party to

[26596] of the question. It is hard to lay down any hard and fast rules as to

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

[26669] entitled to recoup yourself and command your price. You have every bit

[26670] as much right to live by your pen in pursuit of your philosophy as the

[26692] At this pertinent suggestion Mr Bloom, to change the subject, looked

[26694] to put on belongs to which sounded rather a far cry. The rebuke of some

[26695] kind was clearer than the other part. Needless to say the fumes of

[26697] foreign to his sober state. Probably the homelife to which Mr B attached

[26703] failing to throw much light on the subject, however, he brought to mind

[26705] bud of premature decay and nobody to blame but themselves. For instance

[26709] to everybody all round he was in the habit of ostentatiously sporting

[26712] and had to be spirited away by a few friends, after a strong hint to a

[26713] blind horse from John Mallon of Lower Castle Yard, so as not to be made

[26716] which will occur to anyone with a pick of brains. Briefly, putting two

[26717] and two together, six sixteen which he pointedly turned a deaf ear to,

[26723] the errors of notorieties and crowned heads running counter to morality

[26730] should, and every welltailored man must, trying to make the gap wider

[26731] between them by innuendo and give more of a genuine filip to acts of

[26734] degrees in the shade not caring a continental. However, reverting to the

[26736] to the top from the lowest rung by the aid of their bootstraps. Sheer

[26740] to wait on and profit by the unlookedfor occasion though why he could

[26741] not exactly tell being as it was already several shillings to the

[26742] bad having in fact let himself in for it. Still to cultivate the

[26745] as such, was, he felt, from time to time a firstrate tonic for the mind.

[26746] Added to which was the coincidence of meeting, discussion, dance, row,

[26748] whole galaxy of events, all went to make up a miniature cameo of the

[26751] lately. To improve the shining hour he wondered whether he might meet

[26753] down in writing suppose he were to pen something out of the common

[26759] again, far from satisfied, over a country belonging to him and the

[26764] start but it turned out to be only something about somebody named H.

[26773] So to change the subject he read about Dignam R. I. P. which, he

[26781] brief illness came as a great shock to citizens of all classes by whom

[26793] of bitched type but tickled to death simultaneously by C. P. M’Coy and

[26794] Stephen Dedalus B. A. who were conspicuous, needless to say, by their

[26795] total absence (to say nothing of M’Intosh) L. Boom pointed it out to

[26799] —Is that first epistle to the Hebrews, he asked as soon as his bottom

[26802] —It is. Really, Mr Bloom said (though first he fancied he alluded to

[26824] eminently lent itself to that sort of thing though as the event turned

[26886] when got up to tally with the description given, introduce himself with:

[26889] distinguished personage under discussion beside him, would have been to

[26909] and an attachment sprang up between them till bit by bit matters came to

[26916] particular necessity to proclaim it to the rank and file from the

[26920] swearing to having witnessed him on such and such a particular date in

[26923] fashion, a fact the weeklies, addicted to the lubric a little, simply

[30615] to lay out 4d for her methylated spirit telling me all her ailments she

[30619] nobody wanted her to wear them I suppose she was pious because no man

[30621] want us to cover our faces but she was a welleducated woman certainly

[30623] he was glad to get shut of her and her dog smelling my fur and always

[30624] edging to get up under my petticoats especially then still I like that

[30625] in him polite to old women like that and waiters and beggars too hes

[30627] serious the matter with him its much better for them to go into a

[30628] hospital where everything is clean but I suppose Id have to dring it

[30633] to get well if his nose bleeds youd think it was O tragic and that

[30637] bottom of the basket anything at all to get into a mans bedroom with

[30652] up to me one time well done to him mouth almighty and his boiled eyes of

[30658] front room to show him Dignams death in the paper as if something told

[30659] me and he covered it up with the blottingpaper pretending to be thinking

[30660] about business so very probably that was it to somebody who thinks

[30662] especially getting on to forty he is now so as to wheedle any money she

[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

[30667] we had in Ontario terrace padding out her false bottom to excite him bad

[30668] enough to get the smell of those painted women off him once or twice

[30669] I had a suspicion by getting him to come near me when I found the

[30674] house stealing my potatoes and the oysters 2/6 per doz going out to see

[30676] something on with that one it takes me to find out a thing like that he

[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

[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

[30686] like that one denying it up to my face and singing about the place in

[30691] I just pressed the back of his like that with my thumb to squeeze back

[30693] about him and me hes not such a fool he said Im dining out and going to

[30694] the Gaiety though Im not going to give him the satisfaction in any case

[30695] God knows hes a change in a way not to be always and ever wearing the

[30696] same old hat unless I paid some nicelooking boy to do it since I cant do

[30704] knitting that woollen thing a stranger to Dublin what place was it and

[30708] Emperor is it yes imagine Im him think of him can you feel him trying to

[30709] make a whore of me what he never will he ought to give it up now at this

[30711] pretending to like it till he comes and then finish it off myself anyway

[30716] love to wildly when you feel that way so nice all over you you cant help

[30718] and kiss me in his arms theres nothing like a kiss long and hot down to

[30720] to go to Father Corrigan he touched me father and what harm if he did

[30724] have done with it what has that got to do with it and did you whatever

[30726] what did he want to know for when I already confessed it to God he had

[30732] them Id like to be embraced by one in his vestments and the smell of

[30734] youre married hes too careful about himself then give something to H

[30741] their bills up with some liqueur Id like to sip those richlooking green

[30744] had the squirrel talking stamps with father he had all he could do to

[30748] straight into bed till that thunder woke me up God be merciful to us

[30749] I thought the heavens were coming down about us to punish us when I

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

[30755] its luck though hed scoff if he heard because he never goes to church

[30757] matter because he doesnt know what it is to have one yes when I lit the

[30760] call it was going to burst though his nose is not so big after I took

[30765] one the size of that to make you feel full up he must have eaten a whole

[30769] to halfshut my eyes still he hasnt such a tremendous amount of spunk in

[30773] him to get all the pleasure but if someone gave them a touch of it

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

[30789] housewarming and then he wanted to ram it down my neck it was on account

[30790] of not liking to see her a wallflower that was why we had the standup

[30796] things especially about the body and the inside I often wanted to study

[30800] used to be a bit on the jealous side whenever he asked who are you going

[30801] to and I said over to Floey and he made me the present of Byrons poems

[30803] get him to make it up any time I know how Id even supposing he got in

[30804] with her again and was going out to see her somewhere Id know if he

[30805] refused to eat the onions I know plenty of ways ask him to tuck down the

[30808] him go to her she of course would only be too delighted to pretend shes

[30809] mad in love with him that I wouldnt so much mind Id just go to her and

[30811] me but he might imagine he was and make a declaration to her with his

[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

[30814] hold in and wasnt to be got for the asking he was on the pop of asking

[30816] something I want to say to you only for I put him off letting on I was

[30818] out too much the night before talking of dreams so I didnt want to let

[30819] him know more than was good for him she used to be always embracing me

[30822] you wash possible the women are always egging on to that putting it on

[30826] that time trying to look like Lord Byron I said I liked though he

[30832] meant because I used to tell her a good bit of what went on between us

[30833] not all but just enough to make her mouth water but that wasnt my fault

[30836] face beginning to look drawn and run down the last time I saw her she

[30838] was edging to draw down a conversation about husbands and talk about him

[30839] to run him down what was it she told me O yes that sometimes he used to

[30840] go to bed with his muddy boots on when the maggot takes him just imagine

[30841] having to get into bed with a thing like that that might murder you

[30846] about in his slippers to look for £ 10000 for a postcard U p up O

[30847] sweetheart May wouldnt a thing like that simply bore you stiff to

[30848] extinction actually too stupid even to take his boots off now what

[30850] another of their sex of course hed never find another woman like me to

[30854] found out on her wasnt she the downright villain to go and do a thing

[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

[30861] the other fellow to run the chance of being hanged O she didnt care if

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

[30867] with Poldy laughing and trying to listen I was waggling my foot we both

[30871] he made me buy takes you half an hour to let them down wetting all

[30874] some robber of a woman and he wanted me to put it in the Irish times

[30875] lost in the ladies lavatory D B C Dame street finder return to Mrs

[30880] that are too tight to walk in my hand is nice like that if I only had a

[30884] and windy it was well we had that rum in the house to mull and the fire

[30885] wasnt black out when he asked to take off my stockings lying on the

[30887] hed like me to walk in all the horses dung I could find but of course

[30889] could give 9 points in 10 to Katty Lanner and beat her what does that

[30893] tasting the butter so I took my time Bartell DArcy too that he used to

[30899] said wasnt it terrible to do that there in a place like that I dont see

[30905] 10 times worse himself anyhow begging me to give him a tiny bit cut off

[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

[30910] of course hes mad on the subject of drawers thats plain to be seen

[30912] skirts blowing up to their navels even when Milly and I were out with

[30917] him with the muffler in the Zingari colours to show off his complexion

[30920] anything at all with a skirt on it and were not to ask any questions but

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

[30924] halfturned and stopped then he pestered me to say yes till I took off my

[30926] the rain anything for an excuse to put his hand anear me drawers drawers

[30927] the whole blessed time till I promised to give him the pair off my doll

[30928] to carry about in his waistcoat pocket O Maria Santisima he did look

[30930] hungry to look at them and beseeched of me to lift the orange petticoat

[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

[30938] to do everything too quick take all the pleasure out of it and father

[30939] waiting all the time for his dinner he told me to say I left my purse in

[30940] the butchers and had to go back for it what a Deceiver then he wrote me

[30941] that letter with all those words in it how could he have the face to any

[30946] man and if I knew what it meant of course I had to say no for form sake

[31115] black mans Id like to try a beauty up to what was she 45 there was some

[31120] Francois Somebody supposed to be a priest about a child born out of her

[31131] side because how could she go to the chamber when she wanted to and she

[31135] too if hed come a bit sooner then I wouldnt be here as I am he ought to

[31138] they could put him up on a throne to count the money all the day of

[31141] father to get the smell of a man or pretending to be mooching about for

[31143] what he did then sending me to try and patch it up I could have got him

[31144] promoted there to be the manager he gave me a great mirada once or twice

[31148] bought it simply to please him I knew it was no good by the finish pity

[31149] I changed my mind of going to Todd and Burns as I said and not Lees it

[31158] to bring him into and she as insolent as ever she could be with her

[31163] up to open the door for me it was nice of him to show me out in any case

[31170] made me thirsty titties he calls them I had to laugh yes this one anyhow

[31171] stiff the nipple gets for the least thing Ill get him to keep that up

[31174] in case of twins theyre supposed to represent beauty placed up there

[31175] like those statues in the museum one of them pretending to hide it with

[31181] of the fish used to be when I was passing pretending he was pissing

[31182] standing out for me to see it with his babyclothes up to one side the

[31184] theyre always trying to show it to you every time nearly I passed

[31185] outside the mens greenhouse near the Harcourt street station just to

[31186] try some fellow or other trying to catch my eye as if it was 1 of the

[31189] to make you feel nice and watery I went into 1 of them it was so biting

[31214] cows then he wanted to milk me into the tea well hes beyond everything I

[31215] declare somebody ought to put him in the budget if I only could remember

[31221] he was here or somebody to let myself go with and come again like that I

[31224] minutes with my legs round him I had to hug him after O Lord I wanted to

[31226] to look ugly or those lines from the strain who knows the way hed take

[31227] it you want to feel your way with a man theyre not all like him thank

[31228] God some of them want you to be so nice about it I noticed the contrast

[31279] compare our hair mine was thicker than hers she showed me how to settle

[31324] whoever he was or did supposed to be some great fellow landed off the

[31330] assembly and sound clear and gunfire for the men to cross the lines and

[31331] the warden marching with his keys to lock the gates and the bagpipes and

[31335] windowsill catch him leaving any of it picking his nose trying to think

[31336] of some other dirty story to tell up in a corner but he never forgot

[31341] soul except the odd few I posted to myself with bits of paper in them so

[31342] bored sometimes I could fight with my nails listening to that old Arab

[31420] engaged for for fun to the son of a Spanish nobleman named Don Miguel de

[31421] la Flora and he believed me that I was to be married to him in 3 years

[31503] throwing them at him he went to India he was to write the voyages those

[31504] men have to make to the ends of the world and back its the least they

[31505] might get a squeeze or two at a woman while they can going out to be

[31506] drowned or blown up somewhere I went up Windmill hill to the flats

[31513] mass when my petticoat began to slip down at the elevation weeks and

[31515] was no decent perfume to be got in that Gibraltar only that cheap peau

[31580] goodbye to my sleep for this night anyhow I hope hes not going to get in

[31581] with those medicals leading him astray to imagine hes young again coming

[31583] not to wake me what do they find to gabber about all night squandering

[31588] wherever he learned that from and I love to hear him falling up the

[31603] and invite some other woman for him who Mrs Fleming and drove out to the

[31611] a boat with him after him at Bray telling the boatman he knew how to row

[31636] to put up with it I never brought a bit of salt in even when we moved

[31637] in the confusion musical academy he was going to make on the first floor

[31674] left that I got that little Italian boy to mend so that you cant see the

[31676] shes right not to ruin her hands I noticed he was always talking to her

[31677] lately at the table explaining things in the paper and she pretending to

[31685] please shes in great demand to pick what they can out of her round in

[31687] her where she is she was just getting out of bounds wanting to go on the

[31713] usual girls nonsense and giggling that Conny Connolly writing to her in

[31716] Harvey for breakfast dinner and supper I thought to myself afterwards

[31718] nothing I suppose there are a few men like that left its hard to believe

[31719] in it though unless it really happened to me the majority of them with

[31720] not a particle of love in their natures to find two people like that

[31723] queer to go and poison himself after her still poor old man I suppose

[31724] he felt lost shes always making love to my things too the few old rags

[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

[31731] pretended not to see us in her trap with Friery the solicitor we werent

[31737] over again not to leave knives crossed like that because she has nobody

[31738] to command her as she said herself well if he doesnt correct her faith

[31743] see him coming Id have to let her know or shed revenge it arent they

[31744] a nuisance that old Mrs Fleming you have to be walking round after her

[31764] an operation or if its not that its drink and he beats her Ill have to

[31767] suppose Ill have some peace I want to get up a minute if Im let wait O

[31780] forward as if I was interested having to sit it out then to the last tag

[31787] sea anyhow he didnt make me pregnant as big as he is I dont want to ruin

[31789] it on too damn it damn it and they always want to see a stain on the

[31790] bed to know youre a virgin for them all thats troubling them theyre such

[31796] other side of the park till I suggested to put the quilt on the floor

[31800] time he turned up my clothes on me Id give anything to see his face

[31804] and skirt first in the other room he was so busy where he oughtnt to be

[31808] a wad of money from some fellow Ill have to perfume it in the morning

[31817] it last I Whit Monday yes its only about 3 weeks I ought to go to the

[31819] thing coming from me and Floey made me go to that dry old stick Dr

[31822] those rich ones off Stephens green running up to him for every little

[31827] had an offensive odour what did he want me to do but the one thing gold

[31833] squeeze and pull the chain then to flush it nice cool pins and needles

[31834] still theres something in it I suppose I always used to know by Millys

[31839] wouldnt trust him too far to give me chloroform or God knows what else

[31840] still I liked him when he sat down to write the thing out frowning so

[31842] anything no matter who except an idiot he was clever enough to spot

[31853] to amuse me the things he said with the half sloothering smile on him

[31854] and all the Doyles said he was going to stand for a member of Parliament

[31855] O wasnt I the born fool to believe all his blather about home rule

[31857] Huguenots to sing in French to be more classy O beau pays de la Touraine

[31861] square running into my bedroom pretending the ink got on his hands to

[31862] wash it off with the Albion milk and sulphur soap I used to use and the

[31864] not make an alnight sitting on this affair they ought to make chambers a

[31865] natural size so that a woman could sit on it properly he kneels down to

[31870] he took me to show one wet Sunday in the museum in Kildare street all

[31874] imitating everybody I suppose he used to sleep at the foot of the bed

[31879] course he has to pay for it from her O this nuisance of a thing I hope

[31884] to admire when I was a little girl because I told him easy piano O

[31959] to sing out of in Holles street squeezed and squashed into them and

[31963] that to see him trotting off in his trowlers and Simon Dedalus too he

[32007] out of Trinity college hes very young to be a professor I hope hes not

[32018] to about yourself not always listening to him and Billy Prescotts ad

[32020] business we have to suffer Im sure hes very distinguished Id like to

[32027] his finger up for you to listen theres real beauty and poetry for you

[32028] I often felt I wanted to kiss him all over also his lovely young cock

[32030] looking as if it was asking you to suck it so clean and white he looks

[32034] washing it from 1 years end to the other the most of them only thats

[32044] I going to do about him though

[32094] camp pitched near the Bloomfield laundry to try and steal our things if

[32103] the walk and when I turned round a minute after just to see there was
