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

[4380] A dwarf’s face, mauve and wrinkled like little Rudy’s was. Dwarf’s

[4418] that night Dedalus told me he was in there. Drunk about the place and

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

[4775] beefsteaks. Who was telling me? Mervyn Browne. Down in the vaults of

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

[4795] What harm if he could see what he was shaking it over. Every mortal

[4804] Said he was going to paradise or is in paradise. Says that over

[4862] Mr Bloom gave prudent assent. The language of course was another thing.

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

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

[4907] armful she was.

[4916] —Yes, he was, he said, in Wisdom Hely’s. A traveller for

[4951] Mulcahy from the Coombe and were told where he was buried. After

[4953] drunks spelt out the name: Terence Mulcahy. The other drunk was blinking

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

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

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

[5055] First thing strikes anybody. Bury the dead. Say Robinson Crusoe was true

[5077] one like that when we lived in Lombard street west. Dressy fellow he was

[5121] on the coffin. Mr Bloom turned away his face. And if he was alive all

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

[5148] So he was before he got the job in the morgue under Louis Byrne. Good

[5151] Charley, you’re my darling. That was why he asked me to. O well, does

[5155] —And tell us, Hynes said, do you know that fellow in the, fellow was

[5202] —Some say he is not in that grave at all. That the coffin was filled

7. Aeolus

[5432] —Yes, Red Murray agreed. But Mario was said to be the picture of Our

[5479] College green. He boomed that workaday worker tack for all it was worth.

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

[5651] AND IT WAS THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER

[5677] door when I was there.

[5759] The doorknob hit Mr Bloom in the small of the back as the door was

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

[5856] The inner door was opened violently and a scarlet beaked face, crested

[5885] —Where was that, Myles? Ned Lambert asked with a reflective glance at

[5890] —So it was, begad, Ned Lambert agreed.

[5938] Screams of newsboys barefoot in the hall rushed near and the door was

[5948] —It wasn’t me, sir. It was the big fellow shoved me, sir.

[5956] —Waiting for the racing special, sir, the newsboy said. It was Pat

[5978] against Lenehan who was struggling up with the second tissue.

[6086] THE GRANDEUR THAT WAS ROME

[6094] —What was their civilisation? Vast, I allow: but vile. Cloacae:

[6112] asked. It was at the royal university dinner. Everything was going

[6144] —That old pelters, the editor said. Who tore it? Was he short taken?

[6184] —I’ll tell you how it was, Myles Crawford began. A Hungarian it was

[6260] quiet mockery. Or was it you shot the lord lieutenant of Finland between

[6282] cold in the park. The gate was open.

[6308] used to say when he was on the shaughraun, doing billiardmarking in the

[6309] Clarence. Gallaher, that was a pressman for you. That was a pen. You

[6310] know how he made his mark? I’ll tell you. That was the smartest piece

[6311] of journalism ever known. That was in eightyone, sixth of May, time of

[6390] —I saw it, the editor said proudly. I was present. Dick Adams, the

[6396] —Madam, I’m Adam. And Able was I ere I saw Elba.

[6398] —History! Myles Crawford cried. The Old Woman of Prince’s street was

[6399] there first. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth over that. Out of

[6403] Pyatt! He was all their daddies!

[6424] —O yes, J. J. O’Molloy said eagerly. Lady Dudley was walking home

[6489] my life fell from the lips of Seymour Bushe. It was in that case of

[6497] —What was that? the professor asked.

[6516] it was that small act, trivial in itself, that striking of that match,

[6546] —Professor Magennis was speaking to me about you, J. J. O’Molloy

[6549] it. She was a nice old bag of tricks. A. E. has been telling some yankee

[6560] ever heard was a speech made by John F Taylor at the college historical

[6562] spoken and the paper under debate was an essay (new for those days),

[6576] —It was the speech, mark you, the professor said, of a finished

[6579] contumely upon the new movement. It was then a new movement. We were

[6592] had prepared his speech I do not believe for there was not even one

[6595] looked (though he was not) a dying man.

[6610] —Mr Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: Great was my admiration in

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

[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

[6678] The troop of bare feet was heard rushing along the hallway and pattering

[6686] of all that ever anywhere wherever was. Love and laud him: me no more.

[6788] had no idea it was that high.

[6848] muck somewhere. Careless chap. What was he doing in Irishtown?

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

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

[6919] bitterer against others or against himself. He was the son of a noble

[6974] Almighty’s truth was known.

[7007] the stopper on that. Where was that ad some Birmingham firm the luminous

[7014] rush out. What was it she wanted? The Malaga raisins. Thinking of Spain.

[7015] Before Rudy was born. The phosphorescence, that bluey greeny. Very good

[7131] sound. She’s not exactly witty. Can be rude too. Blurt out what I was

[7133] barreltone voice. He has legs like barrels and you’d think he was

[7136] an albatross. Get outside of a baron of beef. Powerful man he was at

[7160] I am. Devil of a job it was collecting accounts of those convents.

[7161] Tranquilla convent. That was a nice nun there, really sweet face. Wimple

[7162] suited her small head. Sister? Sister? I am sure she was crossed in love

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

[7176] Gilligan died. We were in Lombard street west. Wait: was in Thom’s.

[7179] Val Dillon was lord mayor. The Glencree dinner. Alderman Robert

[7182] For what we have already received may the Lord make us. Milly was a

[7191] Happy. Happier then. Snug little room that was with the red wallpaper.

[7199] Stream of life. What was the name of that priestylooking chap was always

[7205] Bartell d’Arcy was the tenor, just coming out then. Seeing her home

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

[7292] medicinebottle. Pastille that was fell. What is she?...

[7308] —Said the ace of spades was walking up the stairs.

[7342] Powell that was. In Luke Doyle’s long ago. Dolphin’s Barn, the

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

[7375] —She was taken bad on the Tuesday...

[7452] is this she was like? O yes! Mrs Miriam Dandrade that sold me her old

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

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

[7485] queen Victoria was given that. Nine she had. A good layer. Old

[7486] woman that lived in a shoe she had so many children. Suppose he was

[7488] what was it the pensive bosom of the silver effulgence. Flapdoodle to

[7502] off their mind. Old Mrs Thornton was a jolly old soul. All my babies,

[7536] young hornies. That horsepoliceman the day Joe Chamberlain was given

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

[7566] who is the gentleman does be visiting there? Was the young master saying

[7581] James Stephens’ idea was the best. He knew them. Circles of ten so

[7665] Alphonsus Eb Ed El Esquire. What was he saying? The ends of the world

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

[7710] Interesting. There was a lot of talk about those sunspots when we

[7737] Wait. The full moon was the night we were Sunday fortnight exactly there

[7739] She was humming. The young May moon she’s beaming, love. He other side

[7743] Stop. Stop. If it was it was. Must.

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

[7951] was a right royal old nigger. Who ate or something the somethings of

[7954] find the meat. Kosher. No meat and milk together. Hygiene that was what

[8010] to scratch his groin. Who is this was telling me? Isn’t Blazes Boylan

[8031] —He had a good slice of luck, Jack Mooney was telling me, over

[8034] was telling me...

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

[8082] of horseflesh. Saint Frusquin was her sire. She won in a thunderstorm,

[8118] on the sexual. Aphrodis. He was in the Red Bank this morning. Was he

[8123] mix inside. Idea for a poison mystery. That archduke Leopold was it no

[8124] yes or was it Otto one of those Habsburgs? Or who was it used to eat the

[8147] think he was painting the landscape with his mouth twisted. Moooikill A

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

[8208] —I noticed he was in mourning.

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

[8211] at home. You’re right, by God. So he was.

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

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

[8253] —There was one woman, Nosey Flynn said, hid herself in a clock to

[8255] and swore her in on the spot a master mason. That was one of the saint

[8425] I saw his brillantined hair just when I was. Horse drooping. Driver in

[8447] Like Milly’s was. Sensitive. Sizing me up I daresay from my hand.

[8462] tweed. Poor young fellow! How on earth did he know that van was there?

[8465] would he feel it if something was removed. Feel a gap. Queer idea of

[8470] Penrose! That was that chap’s name.

[8490] for instance. Say it was black, for instance. Good. We call it black.

[8535] Messiah was first given for that. Yes. Handel. What about going out

[8562] Deane was the Greek architecture.

9. Scylla and Charybdis

[8612] was gone.

[8616] —Monsieur de la Palice, Stephen sneered, was alive fifteen minutes

[8628] For he was a medical

[8670] Aristotle was once Plato’s schoolboy.

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

[8774] for nothing was he a butcher’s son, wielding the sledded poleaxe and

[8901] for ever. She died, for literature at least, before she was born.

[8903] —She died, Stephen retorted, sixtyseven years after she was born. She

[8953] speech are lent them by males. He chose badly? He was chosen, it seems

[8954] to me. If others have their will Ann hath a way. By cock, she was to

[9061] —Is it your view, then, that she was not faithful to the poet?

[9074] dishonoured body that once was comely, once as sweet, as fresh as

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

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

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

[9188] Perdita, that which was lost. What was lost is given back to him: his

[9189] daughter’s child. My dearest wife, Pericles says, was like this maid.

[9229] girlhood, a lordling to woo for him? He was himself a lord of language

[9231] and Juliet. Why? Belief in himself has been untimely killed. He was

[9262] —Amen! was responded from the doorway.

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

[9282] stripped and whipped, was nailed like bat to barndoor, starved on

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

[9319] Vining held that the prince was a woman. Has no-one made him out to be

[9354] —Do you think it is only a paradox? the quaker librarian was asking.

[9397] —Me! Stephen exclaimed. That was your contribution to literature.

[9427] Brisk in a galliard he was off, out. In the daylit corridor he talked

[9474] equal to that of the lord chancellor of Ireland. His life was rich. His

[9503] twenty years what do you suppose poor Penelope in Stratford was doing

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

[9540] poor dear Willun, when he went and died on her, raging that he was the

[9545] O, yes, mention there is. In the years when he was living richly in

[9555] She was entitled to her widow’s dower

[9556] At common law. His legal knowledge was great

[9564] And in London. And therefore when he was urged,

[9592] —Separatio a mensa et a thalamo, bettered Buck Mulligan and was smiled

[9632] own long pocket. The son of a maltjobber and moneylender he was himself

[9641] being plucked forth while the sheeny was yet alive: Hamlet and Macbeth

[9656] —Prove that he was a jew, John Eglinton dared, expectantly. Your dean

[9657] of studies holds he was a holy Roman.

[9661] —He was made in Germany, Stephen replied, as the champion French

[9689] jews (for whom, as for the lollards, storm was shelter) bound their

[9711] mobled queen, even though you prove that a bed in those days was as

[9727] say that only family poets have family lives. Falstaff was not a family

[9753] Boccaccio’s Calandrino was the first and last man who felt himself

[9790] the field, held that the Father was Himself His Own Son. The bulldog of

[9794] of the same name in the comedy of errors wrote Hamlet he was not the

[9795] father of his own son merely but, being no more a son, he was and felt

[9797] the father of his unborn grandson who, by the same token, never was

[9851] names. Nay, that last play was written or being written while his

[9879] Don’t tell them he was nine years old when it was quenched.

[16698] speck of sand was to be seen on his smart little suit. Still the blue

[16701] said if she was near him she wouldn’t be far from him, her eyes

[16725] Cissy’s quick motherwit guessed what was amiss and she whispered to

[16729] But who was Gerty?

[16731] Gerty MacDowell who was seated near her companions, lost in thought,

[16732] gazing far away into the distance was, in very truth, as fair a specimen

[16733] of winsome Irish girlhood as one could wish to see. She was pronounced

[16734] beautiful by all who knew her though, as folks often said, she was

[16735] more a Giltrap than a MacDowell. Her figure was slight and graceful,

[16738] Welch’s female pills and she was much better of those discharges she

[16739] used to get and that tired feeling. The waxen pallor of her face was

[16740] almost spiritual in its ivorylike purity though her rosebud mouth was a

[16743] ointments could make them though it was not true that she used to wear

[16745] that once to Edy Boardman, a deliberate lie, when she was black out

[16748] to let on whatever she did that it was her that told her or she’d

[16749] never speak to her again. No. Honour where honour is due. There was

[16750] an innate refinement, a languid queenly hauteur about Gerty which was

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

[16762] dark expressive brows. Time was when those brows were not so silkily

[16763] seductive. It was Madame Vera Verity, directress of the Woman Beautiful

[16767] there was blushing scientifically cured and how to be tall increase your

[16769] Dignam because she had a button one. But Gerty’s crowning glory was

[16770] her wealth of wonderful hair. It was dark brown with a natural wave in

[16778] For an instant she was silent with rather sad downcast eyes. She

[16779] was about to retort but something checked the words on her tongue.

[16784] say that because of him cooling in his attentions when it was simply a

[16785] lovers’ quarrel. As per usual somebody’s nose was out of joint about

[16788] evenings studying hard to get an exhibition in the intermediate that was

[16789] on and he was going to go to Trinity college to study for a doctor when

[16790] he left the high school like his brother W. E. Wylie who was racing

[16793] piercing to the core. Yet he was young and perchance he might learn

[16796] Saint Joseph. But he was undeniably handsome with an exquisite nose and

[16797] he was what he looked, every inch a gentleman, the shape of his head too

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

[16802] Boardman thought she was so frightfully clever because he didn’t go

[16805] Gerty was dressed simply but with the instinctive taste of a votary of

[16806] Dame Fashion for she felt that there was just a might that he might be

[16808] was expected in the Lady’s Pictorial that electric blue would be worn)

[16816] she was hunting to match that chenille but at last she found what she

[16819] by herself and what joy was hers when she tried it on then, smiling at

[16823] in footwear (Edy Boardman prided herself that she was very petite but

[16838] She was wearing the blue for luck, hoping against hope, her own colour

[16842] she thought perhaps he might be out because when she was dressing that

[16844] was for luck and lovers’ meeting if you put those things on inside

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

[16858] and in the fashionable intelligence Mrs Gertrude Wylie was wearing a

[16859] sumptuous confection of grey trimmed with expensive blue fox was not

[16860] to be. He was too young to understand. He would not believe in love, a

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

[16865] it was only the end of her nose and then he hastened from the room with

[16869] to be asked and it was leap year too and would soon be over. No prince

[16880] And while Edy Boardman was with little Tommy behind the pushcar she was

[16885] too for Gerty was womanly wise and knew that a mere man liked that

[16895] Giltrap’s lovely dog Garryowen that almost talked it was so human

[16907] Edy Boardman asked Tommy Caffrey was he done and he said yes so then she

[16910] he wanted the ball and Edy told him no that baby was playing with the

[16912] was his ball and he wanted his ball and he pranced on the ground, if

[16913] you please. The temper of him! O, he was a man already was little Tommy

[16914] Caffrey since he was out of pinnies. Edy told him no, no and to be off

[16938] life to say, flushing a deep rosy red, and Edy Boardman said she was

[16951] White. That was just like Cissycums. O, and will you ever forget her

[16954] There was none to come up to her for fun. But she was sincerity itself,

[16959] anthem of the organ. It was the men’s temperance retreat conducted

[16963] spectacle it was to see) in that simple fane beside the waves, after the

[16977] the fumes of intoxication, forget himself completely for if there was

[16978] one thing of all things that Gerty knew it was that the man who lifts

[16985] off Sandymount green that Cissy Caffrey called the man that was so like

[16988] father because he was too old or something or on account of his face

[16989] (it was a palpable case of Doctor Fell) or his carbuncly nose with the

[16995] and was buried, God have mercy on him, from a stroke. Her mother’s

[16996] birthday that was and Charley was home on his holidays and Tom and Mr

[16998] group taken. No-one would have thought the end was so near. Now he was

[17006] A sterling good daughter was Gerty just like a second mother in the

[17008] gold. And when her mother had those raging splitting headaches who was

[17010] like her mother’s taking pinches of snuff and that was the only single

[17012] world of her for her gentle ways. It was Gerty who turned off the gas at

[17013] the main every night and it was Gerty who tacked up on the wall of that

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

[17018] oldtime chivalry through her lattice window. You could see there was a

[17019] story behind it. The colours were done something lovely. She was in

[17020] a soft clinging white in a studied attitude and the gentleman was in

[17029] till at last Master Jacky who was really as bold as brass there was

[17031] could down towards the seaweedy rocks. Needless to say poor Tommy was

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

[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

[17058] Through the open window of the church the fragrant incense was wafted

[17059] and with it the fragrant names of her who was conceived without stain of

[17066] most pious Virgin’s intercessory power that it was not recorded in any

[17073] she cried behind the hood of the pushcar and Edy asked where was Cissy

[17079] And baby did his level best to say it for he was very intelligent for

[17088] out, holy saint Denis, that he was possing wet and to double the half

[17089] blanket the other way under him. Of course his infant majesty was most

[17094] And two great big lovely big tears coursing down his cheeks. It was all

[17096] geegee and where was the puffpuff but Ciss, always readywitted, gave

[17097] him in his mouth the teat of the suckingbottle and the young heathen was

[17102] brats of twins. She gazed out towards the distant sea. It was like the

[17108] pitapat. Yes, it was her he was looking at, and there was meaning in his

[17113] was a foreigner, the image of the photo she had of Martin Harvey, the

[17117] he had an aquiline nose or a slightly retroussé from where he was

[17118] sitting. He was in deep mourning, she could see that, and the story of a

[17119] haunting sorrow was written on his face. She would have given worlds to

[17120] know what it was. He was looking up so intently, so still, and he saw

[17123] She was glad that something told her to put on the transparent stockings

[17124] thinking Reggy Wylie might be out but that was far away. Here was that

[17125] of which she had so often dreamed. It was he who mattered and there was

[17127] that he was like no-one else. The very heart of the girlwoman went out

[17128] to him, her dreamhusband, because she knew on the instant it was him. If

[17130] had been himself a sinner, a wicked man, she cared not. Even if he was

[17132] her. There were wounds that wanted healing with heartbalm. She was a

[17146] of the blessed Virgin’s sodality and Father Conroy was helping Canon

[17148] down. He looked almost a saint and his confessionbox was so quiet and

[17153] hair for fear he could see, not to be troubled because that was only the

[17155] this life and that that was no sin because that came from the nature of

[17158] was so kind and holy and often and often she thought and thought could

[17163] adoration because it was hard to know what sort of a present to give or

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

[17179] thingamerry she was always rubbing into it she couldn’t get it to grow

[17181] at it. She ran with long gandery strides it was a wonder she didn’t

[17182] rip up her skirt at the side that was too tight on her because there

[17183] was a lot of the tomboy about Cissy Caffrey and she was a forward piece

[17185] because she was a good runner she ran like that so that he could see

[17196] was itching to give them a ringing good clip on the ear but she didn’t

[17205] Easter and there wasn’t a brack on them and that was what he was

[17215] settle her hair and a prettier, a daintier head of nutbrown tresses was

[17222] caught as she caught the expression in his eyes. He was eying her as a

[17227] Edy Boardman was noticing it too because she was squinting at Gerty,

[17229] baby. Irritable little gnat she was and always would be and that was why

[17230] no-one could get on with her poking her nose into what was no concern of

[17236] I was only wondering was it late.

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

[17241] asked her the time and Miss Cissy, as glib as you like, said it was half

[17250] watchchain, looking up at the church. Passionate nature though he was

[17253] next moment it was the quiet gravefaced gentleman, selfcontrol expressed

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

[17258] and looking up and clearing his throat and he said he was very sorry his

[17259] watch was stopped but he thought it must be after eight because the

[17260] sun was set. His voice had a cultured ring in it and though he spoke in

[17261] measured accents there was a suspicion of a quiver in the mellow tones.

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

[17270] swung her leg more in and out in time. It was getting darker but he

[17271] could see and he was looking all the time that he was winding the watch

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

[17276] was when she clipped her hair on account of the moon. His dark eyes

[17278] worshipping at her shrine. If ever there was undisguised admiration in

[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

[17291] answered with scathing politeness when Edy asked her was she heartbroken

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

[17301] there was in the blue eyes a quick stinging of tears. Their eyes were

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

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

[17312] him aside as if he was so much filth and never again would she cast as

[17317] see by her looking as black as thunder that she was simply in a towering

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

[17320] something aloof, apart, in another sphere, that she was not of them and

[17321] never would be and there was somebody else too that knew it and saw it

[17325] the ball and the spades and buckets and it was high time too because the

[17326] sandman was on his way for Master Boardman junior. And Cissy told him

[17327] too that billy winks was coming and that baby was to go deedaw and baby

[17339] asked what and she was just going to tell her to catch it while it was

[17340] flying but she was ever ladylike in her deportment so she simply passed

[17341] it off with consummate tact by saying that that was the benediction

[17343] seashore because Canon O’Hanlon was up on the altar with the veil that

[17352] paints because it was easier than to make a man and soon the lamplighter

[17361] it did not err on the side of luxury, was scrupulously neat and clean.

[17362] It was there she kept her girlish treasure trove, the tortoiseshell

[17370] ideal? it was called by Louis J Walsh, Magherafelt, and after there was

[17375] competition and that was an accident coming down Dalkey hill and she

[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

[17392] ess. Perhaps it was an old flame he was in mourning for from the days

[17394] him because men were so different. The old love was waiting, waiting

[17397] that told her he was her all in all, the only man in all the world for

[17398] her for love was the master guide. Nothing else mattered. Come what

[17403] locked the tabernacle door because the benediction was over and Father

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

[17420] But Gerty was adamant. She had no intention of being at their beck and

[17422] see from where she was. The eyes that were fastened upon her set her

[17424] a light broke in upon her. Whitehot passion was in that face, passion

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

[17436] her swear she’d never about the gentleman lodger that was staying with

[17440] this was altogether different from a thing like that because there was

[17443] was absolution so long as you didn’t do the other thing before being

[17447] Rippingham so mad about actors’ photographs and besides it was on

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

[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

[17458] high, almost out of sight, and her face was suffused with a divine, an

[17463] it went out of sight a moment and she was trembling in every limb from

[17474] Roman candle burst and it was like a sigh of O! and everyone cried O! O!

[17479] Then all melted away dewily in the grey air: all was silent. Ah! She

[17482] was leaning back against the rock behind. Leopold Bloom (for it is he)

[17485] and, wretch that he was, how had he answered? An utter cad he had been!

[17486] He of all men! But there was an infinite store of mercy in those eyes,

[17488] wandered. Should a girl tell? No, a thousand times no. That was their

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

[17494] what a great person she was: and then she cried:

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

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

[17514] was...

[17519] left on the shelf and the others did a sprint. Thought something was

[17521] in a woman. But makes them polite. Glad I didn’t know it when she was

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

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

[17648] Glencree dinner that was when we drove home. Featherbed mountain.

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

[17686] know! Three years old she was in front of Molly’s dressingtable, just

[17689] like the other. Still she was game. Lord, I am wet. Devil you are. Swell

[17703] this relief much thanks. In Hamlet, that is. Lord! It was all things

[17707] I will tell you all. Still it was a kind of language between us. It

[17996] me. Frightened she was when her nature came on her first. Poor child!

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

[18077] We’ll never meet again. But it was lovely. Goodbye, dear. Thanks. Made

[18109] Because it was a little canarybird that came out of its little house

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

[18111] because she was as quick as anything about a thing like that, was Gerty

[18112] MacDowell, and she noticed at once that that foreign gentleman that was

[18113] sitting on the rocks looking was

14. Oxen of the Sun

[18154] of profundity that that one was audacious excessively who would have the

[18162] relate, among the Celts, who nothing that was not in its nature

[18170] commensurate and therefore a plan was by them adopted (whether by having

[18173] up to the present congrued to render manifest) whereby maternity was so

[18204] Of Israel’s folk was that man that on earth wandering far had fared.

[18223] he ere was living with dear wife and lovesome daughter that then over

[18231] Glad after she was that ere adread was. Her he asked if O’Hare Doctor

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

[18239] the dead man was died and the nun answered him and said that he was died

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

[18252] The nursingwoman answered him and said that that woman was in throes

[18255] many births of women but never was none so hard as was that woman’s

[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

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

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

[18269] healed for he was sore wounded in his breast by a spear wherewith a

[18270] horrible and dreadful dragon was smitten him for which he did do make

[18274] otherwhither for he was a man of cautels and a subtile. Also the lady

[18275] was of his avis and repreved the learningknight though she trowed well

[18276] that the traveller had said thing that was false for his subtility. But

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

[18283] And in the castle was set a board that was of the birchwood of Finlandy

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

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

[18291] the board that no wight could devise a fuller ne richer. And there was

[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

[18314] there was above one quick with child, a gentle dame, whose time hied

[18316] cry that it was whether of child or woman and I marvel, said he, that it

[18317] be not come or now. Meseems it dureth overlong. And he was ware and saw

[18318] a franklin that hight Lenehan on that side the table that was older than

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

[18327] for he was a passing good man of his lustiness. And sir Leopold that was

[18328] the goodliest guest that ever sat in scholars’ hall and that was the

[18330] that was the very truest knight of the world one that ever did minion

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

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

[18339] one Crotthers, and young Stephen that had mien of a frere that was at

[18342] Stephen, he was the most drunken that demanded still of more mead) and

[18355] now was trespassed out of this world and the self night next before her

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

[18361] were in doubt that the world was now right evil governed as it was never

[18363] judges did provide no remedy. A redress God grant. This was scant said

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

[18369] affair and said how that she was dead and how for holy religion sake by

[18380] overmuch drunken and the best word he could have of him was that he

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

[18399] soul was infused and how in all our holy mother foldeth ever souls for

[18400] God’s greater glory whereas that earthly mother which was but a dam

[18402] fisherman’s seal, even that blessed Peter on which rock was holy

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

[18408] agreeing also with his experience of so seldomseen an accident it was

[18412] Stephen was a marvellous glad man and he averred that he who stealeth

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

[18414] was drunken and that he was now in that taking it appeared eftsoons.

[18416] But sir Leopold was passing grave maugre his word by cause he still had

[18418] and as he was minded of his good lady Marion that had borne him an only

[18420] could save so dark is destiny. And she was wondrous stricken of heart

[18423] lie akeled (for it was then about the midst of the winter) and now sir

[18425] friend’s son and was shut up in sorrow for his forepassed happiness

[18426] and as sad as he was that him failed a son of such gentle courage (for

[18443] money as was herebefore. His words were then these as followeth: Know

[18457] now. Or she knew him, that second I say, and was but creature of her

[25711] Mr Bloom was all at sea for a moment, seeing the others evidently

[25720] and he was just asking himself what possible connection when the sailor

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

[25802] plug from his good jacket hanging on a nail and the desired object was

[25821] circumnavigated a bit since I first joined on. I was in the Red Sea.

[25911] thus combine business with pleasure. But who? That was the rub.

[25913] Also, without being actually positive, it struck him a great field was

[25915] the times apropos of the Fishguard-Rosslare route which, it was mooted,

[25916] was once more on the tapis in the circumlocution departments with the

[25918] dunderheads generally. A great opportunity there certainly was for push

[25922] It was a subject of regret and absurd as well on the face of it and no

[25951] curiosity, pure and simple, was whether it was the traffic that created

[25958] another was a flower. Cooks rats in your soup, he appetisingly added,

[25998] There ensued a somewhat lengthy pause. One man was reading in fits and

[26411] girders of the Loop line rather out of his depth as of course it was all

[26421] stones who, though now broken down and fast breaking up, was none other

[26430] ducks and drakes of. And there he was at the end of his tether after

[26438] thing. A Palgrave Murphy boat was put off the ways at Alexandra basin,

[26583] family like me though in reality I’m not. That was one for him. A

[26620] very largely a question of the money question which was at the back of

[31980] Kingsbridge station with his father and mother I was in mourning thats

[31981] 11 years ago now yes hed be 11 though what was the good in going into

[31982] mourning for what was neither one thing nor the other the first cry was

[31985] this time he was an innocent boy then and a darling little fellow in his

[31988] God yes wait yes hold on he was on the cards this morning when I laid

[31991] besides my face was turned the other way what was the 7th card after

[31992] that the 10 of spades for a journey by land then there was a letter on

[31995] at that and didnt I dream something too yes there was something about

[31999] when I was a girl first I thought he was a poet like lord Byron and not

[32000] an ounce of it in his composition I thought he was quite different I

[32001] wonder is he too young hes about wait 88 I was married 88 Milly is 15

[32002] yesterday 89 what age was he then at Dillons 5 or 6 about 88 I suppose

[32006] course he pretended to understand it all probably he told him he was

[32008] a professor like Goodwin was he was a potent professor of John Jameson

[32013] the guitar that fellow played was so expressive will I ever go back

[32029] there so simple I wouldnt mind taking him in my mouth if nobody was

[32030] looking as if it was asking you to suck it so clean and white he looks

[32060] wished I was one myself for a change just to try with that thing they

[32064] because it was dark and they knew a girl was passing it didnt make me

[32090] Lord God I was thinking would I go around by the quays there some dark

[32092] hot on for it and not care a pin whose I was only do it off up in a gate

[32102] match of course it was for me he gave it I knew him by his gaiters and

[32103] the walk and when I turned round a minute after just to see there was

[32126] theyre not satisfied and I none was he not able to make one it wasnt my

[32127] fault we came together when I was watching the two dogs up in her behind

[32130] knitted crying as I was but give it to some poor child but I knew well

[32131] Id never have another our 1st death too it was we were never the same

[32133] more I wonder why he wouldnt stay the night I felt all the time it was

[32136] like that if she was alive ruining himself for life perhaps still its a

[32143] in the other room I suppose he was as shy as a boy he being so young

[32160] so ignorant what a pity he didnt stay Im sure the poor fellow was dead

[32163] the knife for bad luck or if the woman was going her rounds with the

[32167] other way you see something was telling me all the time Id have to

[32187] to say they are and the night too that was her massgoing Id love a

[32220] but I was forgetting this bloody pest of a thing pfooh you wouldnt know

[32233] in Lombard street was much nicer the apron he gave me was like that

[32257] well who was the first person in the universe before there was anybody

[32263] and it was leapyear like now yes 16 years ago my God after that long

[32264] kiss I near lost my breath yes he said I was a flower of the mountain

[32265] yes so we are flowers all a womans body yes that was one true thing he

[32266] said in his life and the sun shines for you today yes that was why I

[32270] only looked out over the sea and the sky I was thinking of so many

[32291] geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower

[32298] heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.
