16:501;0000@@@@@|
16:501;0001['  ]| Preparatory to$4$ anything else Mr*Bloom brushed off the greater bulk
16:501;0002['  ]| of the shavings and handed Stephen the hat and ashplant and bucked him
16:501;0003['  ]| up$5$ generally in$4$ orthodox Samaritan fashion which$6#1$ he very badly needed.
16:501;0004['  ]| His (Stephen's) mind was not exactly what you would call wandering but a
16:501;0005['  ]| bit unsteady and on$4$ his expressed desire for$4$ some beverage to$9$ drink Mr*Bloom
16:501;0006['  ]| in$4$ view of the hour it was and there being no$2$ pump of Vartry water
16:501;0007['  ]| available for$4$ their ablutions let alone drinking purposes hit upon$4$ an
16:501;0008['  ]| expedient by$4$ suggesting, off the reel, the propriety of the cabman's shelter,
16:501;0009['  ]| as it was called, hardly a stonesthrow away near Butt*bridge where they
16:501;0010['  ]| might hit upon$4$ some drinkables in$4$ the shape of a milk and soda or a
16:501;0011['  ]| mineral. But how to$9$ get there was the rub. For$4$ the nonce he was rather
16:501;0012['  ]| nonplussed but inasmuch as the duty plainly devolved upon$4$ him to$9$ take
16:501;0013['  ]| some measures on$4$ the subject he pondered suitable ways and means during
16:501;0014['  ]| which$6#1$ Stephen repeatedly yawned. So$5#1$ far as he could see he was rather pale
16:501;0015['  ]| in$4$ the face so$3$ that$3$ it occurred to$4$ him as highly advisable to$9$ get a conveyance
16:501;0016['  ]| of some description which$6#1$ would answer in$4$ their then condition, both of
16:501;0017['  ]| them being e%d%ed, particularly Stephen, always assuming that$3$ there was
16:501;0018['  ]| such a thing to$9$ be found. Accordingly after a few such preliminaries as
16:501;0019['  ]| brushing, in$4$ spite of his having forgotten to$9$ take up$5$ his rather soapsuddy
16:501;0020['  ]| handkerchief after it had done yeoman service in$4$ the shaving line, they both
16:501;0021['  ]| walked together along Beaver*street or, more properly, lane as far as the
16:501;0022['  ]| farrier's and the distinctly fetid atmosphere of the livery stables at the
16:501;0023['  ]| corner of Montgomery*street where they made tracks to$4$ the left from thence
16:501;0024['  ]| debouching into Amiens*street round by$4$ the corner of Dan*Bergin's. But as
16:501;0025['  ]| he confidently anticipated there was not a sign of a Jehu plying for$4$ hire
16:501;0026['  ]| anywhere to$9$ be seen except a fourwheeler, probably engaged by$4$ some
16:501;0027['  ]| fellows inside on$4$ the spree, outside the North*Star*hotel and there was no$2$
16:501;0028['  ]| symptom of its budging a quarter of an inch when Mr*Bloom, who$6#1$ was
16:501;0029['  ]| anything but a professional whistler, endeavoured to$9$ hail it by$4$ emitting a
16:501;0030['  ]| kind of a whistle, holding his arms arched over his head, twice.
16:501;0031['  ]| This was a quandary but, bringing common sense to$9$ bear on$4$ it,
16:501;0032['  ]| evidently there was nothing for$4$ it but put a good face on$4$ the matter and foot
16:501;0033['  ]| it which$6#1$ they accordingly did. So$3$, bevelling around by$4$ Mullett's and the
16:501;0034['  ]| Signal*House which$6#1$ they shortly reached, they proceeded perforce in$4$ the
16:501;0035['  ]| direction of Amiens*street railway terminus, Mr*Bloom being handicapped
16:502;0036['  ]| by$4$ the circumstance that$3$ one of the back buttons of his trousers had, to$9$ vary
16:502;0037['  ]| the timehonoured adage, gone the way of all buttons though, entering
16:502;0038['  ]| thoroughly into the spirit of the thing, he heroically made light of the
16:502;0039['  ]| mischance. So$3$ as neither of them were particularly pressed for$4$ time, as it
16:502;0040['  ]| happened, and the temperature refreshing since it cleared up$5$ after the recent
16:502;0041['  ]| visitation of Jupiter*Pluvius, they dandered along past by$5$ where the empty
16:502;0042['  ]| vehicle was waiting without a fare or a jarvey. As it so$5#2$ happened a 
16:502;0043['  ]| Dublin*United*Tramways*Company's sandstrewer happened to$9$ be returning and
16:502;0044['  ]| the elder man recounted to$4$ his companion \9a` 9propos\ of the incident his own
16:502;0045['  ]| truly miraculous escape of some little while back. They passed the main
16:502;0046['  ]| entrance of the Great*Northern railway station, the starting point for$4$
16:502;0047['  ]| Belfast, where of course all traffic was suspended at that$6#2$ late hour and
16:502;0048['  ]| passing the backdoor of the morgue (a not very enticing locality, not to$9$ say
16:502;0049['  ]| gruesome to$4$ a degree, more especially at night) ultimately gained the Dock*Tavern 
16:502;0050['  ]| and in$4$ due course turned into Store*street, famous for$4$ its
16:502;0051['  ]| C*division police*station. Between this point and the high at present unlit
16:502;0052['  ]| warehouses of Beresford*place Stephen thought to$9$ think of Ibsen,
16:502;0053['  ]| associated with Baird's the stonecutter's in$4$ his mind somehow in$4$ Talbot*place, 
16:502;0054['  ]| first turning on$4$ the right, while the other who$6#1$ was acting as his \7fidus\
16:502;0055['  ]| \7Achates\ inhaled with internal satisfaction the smell of James*Rourke's city
16:502;0056['  ]| bakery, situated quite close to$4$ where they were, the very palatable odour
16:502;0057['  ]| indeed of our daily bread, of all commodities of the public the primary and
16:502;0058['  ]| most indispensable. Bread, the staff of life, earn your bread, O tell me where
16:502;0059['  ]| is fancy bread, at Rourke's the baker's it is said.
16:502;0060['  ]| \En route\ to$4$ his taciturn and, not to$9$ put too fine a point on$4$ it, not yet
16:502;0061['  ]| perfectly sober companion Mr*Bloom who$6#1$ at all events was in$4$ complete
16:502;0062['  ]| possession of his faculties, never more so$5#2$, in$4$ fact disgustingly sober, spoke a
16:502;0063['XX]| word of caution \re\ the dangers of nighttown, women of ill fame and swell
16:502;0064['XX]| mobsmen, which$6#1$, barely permissible once in$4$ a while though not as a
16:502;0065['XX]| habitual practice, was of the nature of a regular deathtrap for$4$ young
16:502;0066['XX]| fellows of his age particularly if they had acquired drinking habits under
16:502;0067['XX]| the influence of liquor unless you knew a little jiujitsu for$4$ every contingency
16:502;0068['XX]| as even a fellow on$4$ the broad of his back could administer a nasty kick if
16:502;0069['XX]| you did not look out. Highly providential was the appearance on$4$ the scene of
16:502;0070['XX]| Corny*Kelleher when Stephen was blissfully unconscious but for$4$ that$6#2$ man
16:502;0071['XX]| in$4$ the gap turning up$5$ at the eleventh hour the \9finis\ might have been that$3$ he
16:502;0072['XX]| might have been a candidate for$4$ the accident ward or, failing that$6#2$, the
16:502;0073['XX]| bridewell and an appearance in$4$ the court next day before Mr*Tobias or, he
16:502;0074['XX]| being the solicitor rather, old Wall, he meant to$9$ say, or Mahony which$6#1$
16:502;0075['XX]| simply spelt ruin for$4$ a chap when it got bruited about. The reason he
16:502;0076['XX]| mentioned the fact was that$3$ a lot of those policemen, whom he cordially
16:502;0077['XX]| disliked, were admittedly unscrupulous in$4$ the service of the Crown and, as
16:502;0078['XX]| Mr*Bloom put it, recalling a case or two in$4$ the A*division in$4$ Clanbrassil*street, 
16:502;0079['XX]| prepared to$9$ swear a hole through a ten gallon pot. Never on$4$ the spot
16:503;0080['XX]| when wanted but in$4$ quiet parts of the city, Pembroke*road for$4$ example, the
16:503;0081['XX]| guardians of the law were well in$4$ evidence, the obvious reason being they
16:503;0082['XX]| were paid to$9$ protect the upper classes. Another thing he commented on$4$ was
16:503;0083['XX]| equipping soldiers with firearms or sidearms of any description liable to$9$ go
16:503;0084['XX]| off at any time which$6#1$ was tantamount to$4$ inciting them against civilians
16:503;0085['XX]| should by$4$ any chance they fall out over anything. You frittered away your
16:503;0086['XX]| time, he very sensibly maintained, and health and also character besides
16:503;0087['XX]| which$6#1$, the squandermania of the thing, fast women of the \9demimonde\ ran
16:503;0088['XX]| away with a lot of &%ps%*s%*d% into the bargain and the greatest danger of all was
16:503;0089['XX]| who$6#1$ you got drunk with though, touching the much vexed question of
16:503;0090['XX]| stimulants, he relished a glass of choice old wine in$4$ season as both
16:503;0091['XX]| nourishing and bloodmaking and possessing aperient virtues (notably a
16:503;0092['XX]| good burgundy which$6#1$ he was a staunch believer in$4$) still never beyond a
16:503;0093['XX]| certain point where he invariably drew the line as it simply led to$4$ trouble all
16:503;0094['XX]| round to$9$ say nothing of your being at the tender mercy of others
16:503;0095['XX]| practically. Most of all he commented adversely on$4$ the desertion of Stephen
16:503;0096['XX]| by$4$ all his pubhunting \9confre`res\ but one, a most glaring piece of ratting on$4$
16:503;0097['XX]| the part of his brother medicos under all the circs.
16:503;0098[B  ]| ~~ And that$6#2$ one was Judas,
16:503;0098['  ]| Stephen said, who$6#1$ up$5$ to$4$ then had said nothing
16:503;0099['  ]| whatsoever of any kind.
16:503;0100['  ]| Discussing these and kindred topics they made a beeline across the
16:503;0101['  ]| back of the Customhouse and passed under the Loop*Line*bridge where a
16:503;0102['  ]| brazier of coke burning in$4$ front of a sentrybox or something like$4$ one
16:503;0103['  ]| attracted their rather lagging footsteps. Stephen of his own accord stopped
16:503;0104['  ]| for$4$ no$2$ special reason to$9$ look at the heap of barren cobblestones and by$4$ the
16:503;0105['  ]| light emanating from the brazier he could just make out the darker figure of
16:503;0106['  ]| the corporation watchman inside the gloom of the sentrybox. He began to$9$
16:503;0107['  ]| remember that$3$ this had happened or had been mentioned as having
16:503;0108['  ]| happened before but it cost him no$2$ small effort before he remembered that$3$
16:503;0109['  ]| he recognised in$4$ the sentry a \7quondam\ friend of his father's, Gumley. To$9$
16:503;0110['  ]| avoid a meeting he drew nearer to$4$ the pillars of the railway bridge.
16:503;0111[C  ]| ~~ Someone saluted you,
16:503;0111['  ]| Mr*Bloom said.
16:503;0112['  ]| A figure of middle height on$4$ the prowl evidently under the arches
16:503;0113['  ]| saluted again, calling:
16:503;0114[V  ]| ~~ Night!
16:503;0115['  ]| Stephen of course started rather dizzily and stopped to$9$ return the
16:503;0116['  ]| compliment. Mr*Bloom actuated by$4$ motives of inherent delicacy inasmuch
16:503;0117['  ]| as he always believed in$4$ minding his own business moved off but
16:503;0118['  ]| nevertheless remained on$4$ the \9qui 9vive\ with just a shade of anxiety though
16:503;0119['  ]| not funkyish in$4$ the least. Though unusual in$4$ the Dublin area he knew that$3$
16:503;0120['  ]| it was not by$4$ any means unknown for$4$ desperadoes who$6#1$ had next to$4$ nothing
16:503;0121['  ]| to$9$ live on$5$ to$9$ be abroad waylaying and generally terrorising peaceable
16:503;0122['  ]| pedestrians by$4$ placing a pistol at their head in$4$ some secluded spot outside
16:503;0123['  ]| the city proper, famished loiterers of the Thames embankment category
16:504;0124['  ]| they might be hanging about there or simply marauders ready to$9$ decamp
16:504;0125['  ]| with whatever boodle they could in$4$ one fell swoop at a moment's notice,
16:504;0126['  ]| your money or your life, leaving you there to$9$ point a moral, gagged and
16:504;0127['  ]| garrotted.
16:504;0128['  ]| Stephen, that$6#2$ is when the accosting figure came to$4$ close quarters,
16:504;0129['  ]| though he was not in$4$ an over sober state himself recognised Corley's breath
16:504;0130['  ]| redolent of rotten cornjuice. Lord John*Corley some called him and his
16:504;0131['  ]| genealogy came about in$4$ this wise. He was the eldest son of inspector*Corley 
16:504;0132['  ]| of the G*division, lately deceased, who$6#1$ had married a certain
16:504;0133['  ]| Katherine*Brophy, the daughter of a Louth farmer. His grandfather
16:504;0134['  ]| Patrick*Michael*Corley of New*Ross had married the widow of a publican
16:504;0135['  ]| there whose maiden name had been Katherine (also) Talbot. Rumour had it
16:504;0136['  ]| (though not proved) that$3$ she descended from the house of the lords*Talbot*de*Malahide 
16:504;0137['  ]| in$4$ whose mansion, really an unquestionably fine residence of
16:504;0138['  ]| its kind and well worth seeing, her mother or aunt or some relative, a
16:504;0139['  ]| woman, as the tale went, of extreme beauty, had enjoyed the distinction of
16:504;0140['  ]| being in$4$ service in$4$ the washkitchen. This therefore was the reason why the
16:504;0141['  ]| still comparatively young though dissolute man who$6#1$ now addressed
16:504;0142['  ]| Stephen was spoken of by$4$ some with facetious proclivities as 
16:504;0143['  ]| Lord John*Corley.
16:504;0144['  ]| Taking Stephen on$4$ one side he had the customary doleful ditty to$9$ tell.
16:504;0145['  ]| Not as much as a farthing to$9$ purchase a night's lodgings. His friends had
16:504;0146['  ]| all deserted him. Furthermore he had a row with Lenehan and called him to$4$
16:504;0147['  ]| Stephen
16:504;0147['Z ]| a mean bloody swab
16:504;0147['  ]| with a sprinkling of a number of other
16:504;0148['  ]| uncalledfor expressions. He was out of a job and implored of Stephen to$9$
16:504;0149['  ]| tell him where on$4$ God's earth he could get something, anything at all, to$9$ do.
16:504;0150['  ]| No$7$, it was the daughter of the mother in$4$ the washkitchen that$6#1$ was
16:504;0151['  ]| fostersister to$4$ the heir of the house or else they were connected through the
16:504;0152['  ]| mother in$4$ some way, both occurrences happening at the same time if the
16:504;0153['  ]| whole thing was not a complete fabrication from start to$4$ finish. Anyhow he
16:504;0154['  ]| was all in$5$.
16:504;0155[V  ]| ~~ I would not ask you only,
16:504;0155['  ]| pursued he,
16:504;0155[V  ]| on$4$ my solemn oath and God knows
16:504;0156[V  ]| I am on$4$ the rocks.
16:504;0157[B  ]| ~~ There will$1$ be a job tomorrow or next day, 
16:504;0157['  ]| Stephen told him,
16:504;0157[B  ]| in$4$ a boys'
16:504;0158[B  ]| school at Dalkey for$4$ a gentleman usher. Mr*Garrett*Deasy. Try it. You may
16:504;0159[B  ]| mention my name.
16:504;0160[V  ]| ~~ Ah, God,
16:504;0160['  ]| Corley replied,
16:504;0160[V  ]| sure I could not teach in$4$ a school, man. I was
16:504;0161[V  ]| never one of your bright ones, he added with a half laugh. I got stuck twice
16:504;0162[V  ]| in$4$ the junior at the christian*brothers.
16:504;0163[B  ]| ~~ I have no$2$ place to$9$ sleep myself,
16:504;0163['  ]| Stephen informed him.
16:504;0164['  ]| Corley at the first go-off was inclined to$9$ suspect it was something to$9$
16:504;0165['XX]| do with Stephen being fired out of his digs for$4$ bringing in$5$ a bloody tart off
16:504;0166['XX]| the street. There was a dosshouse in$4$ Marlborough*street, Mrs*Maloney's,
16:504;0167['XX]| but it was only a tanner touch and full of undesirables but M^'Conachie told
16:504;0168['XX]| him you got a decent enough do in$4$ the Brazen*Head over in$4$ 
16:505;0169['XX]| Winetavern*street
16:505;0169['  ]| (which$6#1$ was distantly suggestive to$4$ the person addressed of 
16:505;0170['  ]| friar*Bacon)
16:505;0170['XX]| for$4$ a bob.
16:505;0170['  ]| He was starving too though he had not said a word about
16:505;0171['  ]| it.
16:505;0172['  ]| Though this sort of thing went on$4$ every other night or very near it
16:505;0173['  ]| still Stephen's feelings got the better of him in$4$ a sense though he knew that$3$
16:505;0174['  ]| Corley's brandnew rigmarole on$4$ a par with the others was hardly deserving
16:505;0175['  ]| of much credence. However 
16:505;0175['Z ]| \7haud 7ignarus 7malorum 7miseris 7succurrere 7disco\
16:505;0176['Z ]| \7etcetera\ 
16:505;0176['  ]| as the Latin poet remarks especially as luck would have it he got
16:505;0177['  ]| paid his screw after every middle of the month on$4$ the sixteenth which$6#1$ was
16:505;0178['  ]| the date of the month as a matter of fact though a good bit of the
16:505;0179['  ]| wherewithal was demolished. But the cream of the joke was nothing would
16:505;0180['  ]| get it out of Corley's head that$3$ he was living in$4$ affluence and had not a thing
16:505;0181['  ]| to$9$ do but hand out the needful. Whereas. He put his hand in$4$ a pocket
16:505;0182['  ]| anyhow not with the idea of finding any food there but thinking he might
16:505;0183['  ]| lend him anything up$5$ to$4$ a bob or so$5#2$ in$4$ lieu so$3$ that$3$ he might endeavour at all
16:505;0184['  ]| events and get sufficient to$9$ eat but the result was in$4$ the negative for$3$, to$4$ his
16:505;0185['  ]| chagrin, he found his cash missing. A few broken biscuits were all the result
16:505;0186['  ]| of his investigation. He tried his hardest to$9$ recollect for$4$ the moment
16:505;0187['  ]| whether he had lost as well he might have or left because in$4$ that$6#2$
16:505;0188['  ]| contingency it was not a pleasant lookout, very much the reverse in$4$ fact. He
16:505;0189['  ]| was altogether too fagged out to$9$ institute a thorough search though he tried
16:505;0190['  ]| to$9$ recollect. About biscuits he dimly remembered. Who$6#1$ now exactly gave
16:505;0191['  ]| them he wondered or where was or did he buy. However in$4$ another pocket
16:505;0192['  ]| he came across what he surmised in$4$ the dark were pennies, erroneously
16:505;0193['  ]| however, as it turned out.
16:505;0194[V  ]| ~~ Those are halfcrowns, man,
16:505;0194['  ]| Corley corrected him.
16:505;0195['  ]| And so$5#2$ in$4$ point of fact they turned out to$9$ be. Stephen anyhow lent
16:505;0196['  ]| him one of them.
16:505;0197[V  ]| ~~ Thanks,
16:505;0197['  ]| Corley answered,
16:505;0197[V  ]| you are a gentleman. I will$1$ pay you back one
16:505;0198[V  ]| time. Who$6#2$ is that$6#2$ with you? I saw him a few times in$4$ the Bleeding*Horse in$4$
16:505;0199[V  ]| Camden*street with Boylan, the billsticker. You might put in$5$ a good word
16:505;0200[V  ]| for$4$ us to$9$ get me taken on$5$ there. I would carry a sandwichboard only the girl in$4$
16:505;0201[V  ]| the office told me they are full up$5$ for$4$ the next three weeks, man. God, you have
16:505;0202[V  ]| to$9$ book ahead, man, you would think it was for$4$ the Carl*Rosa. I do not give a
16:505;0203[V  ]| shite anyway so$5#1$ long as I get a job, even as a crossing sweeper.
16:505;0204['  ]| Subsequently being not quite so$5#1$ down in$4$ the mouth after the two and
16:505;0205['  ]| six he got he informed Stephen about a fellow by$4$ the name of Bags*Comisky 
16:505;0206['  ]| that$6#1$ he said Stephen knew well out of Fullam's, the
16:505;0207['  ]| shipchandler's, bookkeeper there that$6#1$ used to$9$ be often round in$4$ Nagle's
16:505;0208['  ]| back with O'Mara and a little chap with a stutter the name of Tighe.
16:505;0209['  ]| Anyhow he was lagged the night before last and fined ten bob for$4$ a drunk
16:505;0210['  ]| and disorderly and refusing to$9$ go with the constable.
16:505;0211['  ]| Mr*Bloom in$4$ the meanwhile kept dodging about in$4$ the vicinity of the
16:505;0212['  ]| cobblestones near the brazier of coke in$4$ front of the corporation
16:505;0213['  ]| watchman's sentrybox who$6#1$ evidently a glutton for$4$ work, it struck him, was
16:506;0214['  ]| having a quiet forty winks for$4$ all intents and purposes on$4$ his own private
16:506;0215['  ]| account while Dublin slept. He threw an odd eye at the same time now and
16:506;0216['  ]| then at Stephen's anything but immaculately attired interlocutor as if he
16:506;0217['  ]| had seen that$6#2$ nobleman somewhere or other though where he was not in$4$ a
16:506;0218['  ]| position to$9$ truthfully state nor had he the remotest idea when. Being a
16:506;0219['  ]| levelheaded individual who$6#1$ could give points to$4$ not a few in$4$ point of shrewd
16:506;0220['  ]| observation he also remarked on$4$ his very dilapidated hat and slouchy
16:506;0221['  ]| wearing apparel generally testifying to$4$ a chronic impecuniosity. Palpably he
16:506;0222['  ]| was one of his hangerson but for$4$ the matter of that$6#2$ it was merely a question
16:506;0223['  ]| of one preying on$4$ his nextdoor neighbour all round, in$4$ every deep, so$5#2$ to$9$ put
16:506;0224['  ]| it, a deeper depth and for$4$ the matter of that$6#2$ if the man in$4$ the street chanced
16:506;0225['  ]| to$9$ be in$4$ the dock himself penal servitude with or without the option of a fine
16:506;0226['  ]| would be a very \7rara 7avis\ altogether. In$4$ any case he had a consummate
16:506;0227['  ]| amount of cool assurance intercepting people at that$6#2$ hour of the night or
16:506;0228['  ]| morning. Pretty thick that$6#2$ was certainly.
16:506;0229['  ]| The pair parted company and Stephen rejoined Mr*Bloom who$6#1$, with
16:506;0230['  ]| his practised eye, was not without perceiving that$3$ he had succumbed to$4$ the
16:506;0231['  ]| blandiloquence of the other parasite. Alluding to$4$ the encounter he said,
16:506;0232['  ]| laughingly, Stephen, that$6#2$ is:
16:506;0233[B  ]| ~~ He is down on$4$ his luck. He asked me to$9$ ask you to$9$ ask somebody named
16:506;0234[B  ]| Boylan, a billsticker, to$9$ give him a job as a sandwichman.
16:506;0235['  ]| At this intelligence, in$4$ which$6#1$ he seemingly evinced little interest, Mr*Bloom 
16:506;0236['  ]| gazed abstractedly for$4$ the space of a half a second or so$5#2$ in$4$ the
16:506;0237['  ]| direction of a bucketdredger, rejoicing in$4$ the farfamed name of Eblana,
16:506;0238['  ]| moored alongside Customhouse*quay and quite possibly out of repair,
16:506;0239['  ]| whereupon he observed evasively:
16:506;0240[C  ]| ~~ Everybody gets their own ration of luck, they say. Now you mention it
16:506;0241[C  ]| his face was familiar to$4$ me. But, leaving that$6#2$ for$4$ the moment, how much did
16:506;0242[C  ]| you part with,
16:506;0242['  ]| he queried,
16:506;0242[C  ]| if I am not too inquisitive?
16:506;0243[B  ]| ~~ Half a crown,
16:506;0243['  ]| Stephen responded.
16:506;0243[B  ]| I daresay he needs it to$9$ sleep
16:506;0244[B  ]| somewhere.
16:506;0245[C  ]| ~~ Needs!
16:506;0245['  ]| Mr*Bloom ejaculated, professing not the least surprise at the
16:506;0246['  ]| intelligence,
16:506;0246[C  ]| I can quite credit the assertion and I guarantee he invariably
16:506;0247[C  ]| does. Everyone according to$4$ his needs or everyone according to$4$ his deeds.
16:506;0248[C  ]| But, talking about things in$4$ general, where, 
16:506;0248['  ]| added he with a smile,
16:506;0248[C  ]| will$1$ you
16:506;0249[C  ]| sleep yourself? Walking to$4$ Sandycove is out of the question. And even
16:506;0250[C  ]| supposing you did you will$1$ not get in$5$ after what occurred at Westland*Row
16:506;0251[C  ]| station. Simply fag out there for$4$ nothing. I do not mean to$9$ presume to$9$ dictate
16:506;0252[C  ]| to$4$ you in$4$ the slightest degree but why did you leave your father's house?
16:506;0253[B  ]| ~~ To$9$ seek misfortune,
16:506;0253['  ]| was Stephen's answer.
16:506;0254[C  ]| ~~ I met your respected father on$4$ a recent occasion,
16:506;0254['  ]| Mr*Bloom
16:506;0255['  ]| diplomatically returned,
16:506;0255[C  ]| today in$4$ fact, or to$9$ be strictly accurate, on$4$
16:506;0256[C  ]| yesterday. Where does he live at present? I gathered in$4$ the course of
16:506;0257[C  ]| conversation that$3$ he had moved.
16:507;0258[B  ]| ~~ I believe he is in$4$ Dublin somewhere, 
16:507;0258['  ]| Stephen answered unconcernedly.
16:507;0259[B  ]| Why?
16:507;0260[C  ]| ~~ A gifted man,
16:507;0260['  ]| Mr*Bloom said of Mr*Dedalus senior,
16:507;0260[C  ]| in$4$ more respects than
16:507;0261[C  ]| one and a born \9raconteur\ if ever there was one. He takes great pride, quite
16:507;0262[C  ]| legitimate, out of you. You could go back perhaps,
16:507;0262['  ]| he hasarded, still
16:507;0263['  ]| thinking of the very unpleasant scene at Westland*Row terminus when it
16:507;0264['  ]| was perfectly evident that$3$ the other two, Mulligan, that$6#2$ is, and that$6#2$ English
16:507;0265['  ]| tourist friend of his, who$6#1$ eventually euchred their third companion, were
16:507;0266['  ]| patently trying as if the whole bally station belonged to$4$ them to$9$ give
16:507;0267['  ]| Stephen the slip in$4$ the confusion, which$6#1$ they did.
16:507;0268['  ]| There was no$2$ response forthcoming to$4$ the suggestion however, such
16:507;0269['  ]| as it was, Stephen's mind's eye being too busily engaged in$4$ repicturing his
16:507;0270['  ]| family hearth the last time he saw it with his sister Dilly sitting by$4$ the ingle,
16:507;0271['  ]| her hair hanging down, waiting for$4$ some weak Trinidad shell cocoa that$6#1$
16:507;0272['  ]| was in$4$ the sootcoated kettle to$9$ be done so$3$ that$3$ she and he could drink it
16:507;0273['  ]| with the oatmealwater for$4$ milk after the Friday herrings they had eaten at
16:507;0274['  ]| two a penny with an egg apiece for$4$ Maggy, Boody and Katey, the cat
16:507;0275['  ]| meanwhile under the mangle devouring a mess of eggshells and charred fish
16:507;0276['  ]| heads and bones on$4$ a square of brown paper, in$4$ accordance with the third
16:507;0277['  ]| precept of the church to$9$ fast and abstain on$4$ the days commanded, it being
16:507;0278['  ]| quarter tense or if not, ember days or something like$4$ that$6#2$.
16:507;0279[C  ]| ~~ No$7$,
16:507;0279['  ]| Mr*Bloom repeated again,
16:507;0279[C  ]| I would not personally repose much trust in$4$
16:507;0280[C  ]| that$6#2$ boon companion of yours who$6#1$ contributes the humorous element, Dr*Mulligan, 
16:507;0281[C  ]| as a guide, philosopher and friend if I were in$4$ your shoes. He
16:507;0282[C  ]| knows which$6#1$ side his bread is buttered on$4$ though in$4$ all probability he never
16:507;0283[C  ]| realised what it is to$9$ be without regular meals. Of course you did not notice
16:507;0284[C  ]| as much as I did. But it would not occasion me the least surprise to$9$ learn that$3$
16:507;0285[C  ]| a pinch of tobacco or some narcotic was put in$4$ your drink for$4$ some ulterior
16:507;0286[C  ]| object.
16:507;0287['XX]| He understood however from all he heard that$3$ Dr*Mulligan was a
16:507;0288['XX]| versatile allround man, by$4$ no$2$ means confined to$4$ medicine only, who$6#1$ was
16:507;0289['XX]| rapidly coming to$4$ the fore in$4$ his line and, if the report was verified, bade
16:507;0290['XX]| fair to$9$ enjoy a flourishing practice in$4$ the not too distant future as a tony
16:507;0291['XX]| medical practitioner drawing a handsome fee for$4$ his services in$4$ addition to$4$
16:507;0292['XX]| which$6#1$ professional status his rescue of that$6#2$ man from certain drowning by$4$
16:507;0293['XX]| artificial respiration and what they call first aid at Skerries, or Malahide
16:507;0294['XX]| was it?, was, he was bound to$9$ admit, an exceedingly plucky deed which$6#1$ he
16:507;0295['XX]| could not too highly praise, so$3$ that$3$ frankly he was utterly at a loss to$9$
16:507;0296['XX]| fathom what earthly reason could be at the back of it except he put it down
16:507;0297['XX]| to$4$ sheer cussedness or jealousy, pure and simple.
16:507;0298[C  ]| ~~ Except it simply amounts to$4$ one thing and he is what they call picking
16:507;0299[C  ]| your brains,
16:507;0299['  ]| he ventured to$9$ throw out.
16:507;0300['  ]| The guarded glance of half solicitude half curiosity augmented by$4$
16:507;0301['  ]| friendliness which$6#1$ he gave at Stephen's at present morose expression of
16:507;0302['  ]| features did not throw a flood of light, none at all in$4$ fact on$4$ the problem as
16:508;0303['  ]| to$4$ whether he had let himself be badly bamboozled to$9$ judge by$4$ two or three
16:508;0304['  ]| lowspirited remarks he let drop or the other way about saw through the
16:508;0305['  ]| affair and for$4$ some reason or other best known to$4$ himself allowed matters
16:508;0306['  ]| to$4$ more or less. Grinding poverty did have that$6#2$ effect and he more than
16:508;0307['  ]| conjectured that$3$, high educational abilities though he possessed, he
16:508;0308['  ]| experienced no$2$ little difficulty in$4$ making both ends meet.
16:508;0309['  ]| Adjacent to$4$ the men's public urinal they perceived an icecream car
16:508;0310['  ]| round which$6#1$ a group of presumably Italians in$4$ heated altercation were
16:508;0311['  ]| getting rid of voluble expressions in$4$ their vivacious language in$4$ a
16:508;0312['  ]| particularly animated way, there being some little differences between the
16:508;0313['  ]| parties.
16:508;0314[X  ]| ~~ \Puttana madonna, che ci dia i quattrini! Ho ragione? Culo rotto!\
16:508;0315[X  ]| ~~ \Intendiamoci. Mezzo sovrano piu`\ ~
16:508;0316[X  ]| ~~ \Dice lui, pero`!\
16:508;0317[X  ]| ~~ \Mezzo.\
16:508;0318[X  ]| ~~ \Farabutto! Mortacci sui!\
16:508;0319[X  ]| ~~ \Ma ascolta! Cinque la testa piu`\ ~
16:508;0320['  ]| Mr*Bloom and Stephen entered the cabman's shelter, an
16:508;0321['  ]| unpretentious wooden structure, where, prior to$4$ then, he had rarely if ever
16:508;0322['  ]| been before, the former having previously whispered to$4$ the latter a few
16:508;0323['  ]| hints anent the keeper of it said to$9$ be the once famous Skin-the-Goat,
16:508;0324['  ]| Fitzharris, the invincible,
16:508;0324['XX]| though he could not vouch for$4$ the actual facts
16:508;0325['XX]| which$6#1$ quite possibly there was not one vestige of truth in$4$.
16:508;0325['  ]| A few moments
16:508;0326['  ]| later saw our two noctambules safely seated in$4$ a discreet corner only to$9$ be
16:508;0327['  ]| greeted by$4$ stares from the decidedly miscellaneous collection of waifs and
16:508;0328['  ]| strays and other nondescript specimens of the genus \7homo\ already there
16:508;0329['  ]| engaged in$4$ eating and drinking diversified by$4$ conversation for$4$ whom they
16:508;0330['  ]| seemingly formed an object of marked curiosity.
16:508;0331[C  ]| ~~ Now touching a cup of coffee,
16:508;0331['  ]| Mr*Bloom ventured to$9$ plausibly suggest to$9$
16:508;0332['  ]| break the ice,
16:508;0332[C  ]| it occurs to$4$ me you ought to$9$ sample something in$4$ the shape of
16:508;0333[C  ]| solid food, say, a roll of some description.
16:508;0334['  ]| Accordingly his first act was with characteristic \9sangfroid\ to$9$ order
16:508;0335['  ]| these commodities quietly. The \hoi polloi\ of jarvies or stevedores or
16:508;0336['  ]| whatever they were after a cursory examination turned their eyes,
16:508;0337['  ]| apparently dissatisfied, away though one redbearded bibulous individual,
16:508;0338['  ]| portion of whose hair was greyish, a sailor probably, still stared for$4$ some
16:508;0339['  ]| appreciable time before transferring his rapt attention to$4$ the floor. Mr*Bloom, 
16:508;0340['  ]| availing himself of the right of free speech, he having just a bowing
16:508;0341['  ]| acquaintance with the language in$4$ dispute, though, to$9$ be sure, rather in$4$ a
16:508;0342['  ]| quandary over \voglio\, remarked to$4$ his \prote=ge=\ in$4$ an audible tone of voice \9a`\
16:508;0343['  ]| \propos\ of the battle royal in$4$ the street which$6#1$ was still raging fast and
16:508;0344['  ]| furious:
16:508;0345[C  ]| ~~ A beautiful language. I mean for$4$ singing purposes. Why do you not write
16:508;0346[C  ]| your poetry in$4$ that$6#2$ language? \Bella Poetria!\ It is so$5#1$ melodious and full.
16:508;0347[C  ]| \Belladonna.\ \Voglio.\
16:509;0348['  ]| Stephen, who$6#1$ was trying his dead best to$9$ yawn if he could, suffering
16:509;0349['  ]| from lassitude generally, replied:
16:509;0350[B  ]| ~~ To$9$ fill the ear of a cow elephant. They were haggling over money.
16:509;0351[C  ]| ~~ Is that$6#2$ so$5#2$?
16:509;0351['  ]| Mr*Bloom asked.
16:509;0351[C  ]| Of course,
16:509;0351['  ]| he subjoined pensively, at the
16:509;0352['  ]| inward reflection of there being more languages to$9$ start with than were
16:509;0353['  ]| absolutely necessary,
16:509;0351[C  ]| it may be only the southern glamour that$6#1$ surrounds it.
16:509;0354['  ]| The keeper of the shelter in$4$ the middle of this \9te^te-9a`-9te^te\ put a boiling
16:509;0355['  ]| swimming cup of a choice concoction labelled coffee on$4$ the table and a
16:509;0356['  ]| rather antediluvian specimen of a bun, or so$5#2$ it seemed. After which$6#1$ he beat
16:509;0357['  ]| a retreat to$4$ his counter, Mr*Bloom determining to$9$ have a good square look
16:509;0358['  ]| at him later on$5$ so$3$ as not to$9$ appear to$9$. For$4$ which$6#1$ reason he encouraged
16:509;0359['  ]| Stephen to$9$ proceed with his eyes while he did the honours by$4$ surreptitiously
16:509;0360['  ]| pushing the cup of what was temporarily supposed to$9$ be called coffee
16:509;0361['  ]| gradually nearer him.
16:509;0362[B  ]| ~~ Sounds are impostures,
16:509;0362['  ]| Stephen said after a pause of some little time, 
16:509;0362[B  ]| like$4$
16:509;0363[B  ]| names. Cicero, Podmore. Napoleon, Mr*Goodbody. Jesus, Mr*Doyle.
16:509;0364[B  ]| Shakespeares were as common as Murphies. What is in$4$ a name?
16:509;0365[C  ]| ~~ Yes, to$9$ be sure,
16:509;0365['  ]| Mr*Bloom unaffectedly concurred. 
16:509;0365[C  ]| ~~ Of course. Our name
16:509;0366[C  ]| was changed too, 
16:509;0366['  ]| he added, 
16:509;0366[C  ]| pushing the socalled roll across.
16:509;0367['  ]| The redbearded sailor who$6#1$ had his weather eye on$4$ the newcomers
16:509;0368['  ]| boarded Stephen, whom he had singled out for$4$ attention in$4$ particular,
16:509;0369['  ]| squarely by$4$ asking:
16:509;0370[V  ]| ~~ And what might your name be?
16:509;0371['  ]| Just in$4$ the nick of time Mr*Bloom touched his companion's boot but
16:509;0372['  ]| Stephen, apparently disregarding the warm pressure from an unexpected
16:509;0373['  ]| quarter, answered:
16:509;0374[B  ]| ~~ Dedalus.
16:509;0375['  ]| The sailor stared at him heavily from a pair of drowsy baggy eyes,
16:509;0376['  ]| rather bunged up$5$ from excessive use of boose, preferably good old
16:509;0377['  ]| Hollands and water.
16:509;0378[V  ]| ~~ You know Simon*Dedalus?
16:509;0378['  ]| he asked at length.
16:509;0379[B  ]| ~~ I have heard of him,
16:509;0379['  ]| Stephen said.
16:509;0380['  ]| Mr*Bloom was all at sea for$4$ a moment, seeing the others evidently
16:509;0381['  ]| eavesdropping too.
16:509;0382[V  ]| ~~ He is Irish,
16:509;0382['  ]| the seaman bold affirmed, staring still in$4$ much the same way
16:509;0383['  ]| and nodding.
16:509;0383[V  ]| All Irish.
16:509;0384[B  ]| ~~ All too Irish,
16:509;0384['  ]| Stephen rejoined.
16:509;0385['  ]| As for$4$ Mr*Bloom he could neither make head or tail of the whole
16:509;0386['  ]| business and he was just asking himself what possible connection when the
16:509;0387['  ]| sailor of his own accord turned to$4$ the other occupants of the shelter with
16:509;0388['  ]| the remark:
16:509;0389[V  ]| ~~ I seen him shoot two eggs off two bottles at fifty yards over his shoulder.
16:509;0390[V  ]| The lefthand dead shot.
16:509;0391['  ]| Though he was slightly hampered by$4$ an occasional stammer and his
16:509;0392['  ]| gestures being also clumsy as it was still he did his best to$9$ explain.
16:510;0393[V  ]| ~~ Bottles out there, say. Fifty yards measured. Eggs on$4$ the bottles. Cocks
16:510;0394[V  ]| his gun over his shoulder. Aims.
16:510;0395['  ]| He turned his body half round, shut up$5$ his right eye completely. Then
16:510;0396['  ]| he screwed his features up$5$ someway sideways and glared out into the night
16:510;0397['  ]| with an unprepossessing cast of countenance.
16:510;0398[V  ]| ~~ Pom!
16:510;0398['  ]| he then shouted once.
16:510;0399['  ]| The entire audience waited, anticipating an additional detonation,
16:510;0400['  ]| there being still a further egg.
16:510;0401[V  ]| ~~ Pom!
16:510;0401['  ]| he shouted twice.
16:510;0402['  ]| Egg two evidently demolished, he nodded and winked, adding
16:510;0403['  ]| bloodthirstily:
16:510;0404[V  ]| ~~ \Buffalo*Bill shoots to$9$ kill,\
16:510;0405[V  ]| \Never missed nor he never will$1$.\
16:510;0406['  ]| A silence ensued till Mr*Bloom for$4$ agreeableness' sake just felt like$4$
16:510;0407['  ]| asking him whether it was for$4$ a marksmanship competition like$4$ the Bisley.
16:510;0408[V  ]| ~~ Beg pardon,
16:510;0408['  ]| the sailor said.
16:510;0409[C  ]| ~~ Long ago?
16:510;0409['  ]| Mr*Bloom pursued without flinching a hairsbreadth.
16:510;0410[V  ]| ~~ Why,
16:510;0410['  ]| the sailor replied, relaxing to$4$ a certain extent under the magic
16:510;0411['  ]| influence of diamond cut diamond,
16:510;0411[V  ]| it might be a matter of ten years. He
16:510;0412[V  ]| toured the wide world with Hengler's*Royal*Circus. I seen him do that$6#2$ in$4$
16:510;0413[V  ]| Stockholm.
16:510;0414[C  ]| ~~ Curious coincidence, 
16:510;0414['  ]| ~~ Mr*Bloom confided to$4$ Stephen unobtrusively.
16:510;0415[V  ]| ~~ Murphy is my name,
16:510;0415['  ]| the sailor continued.
16:510;0415[V  ]| D%*B%*Murphy of Carrigaloe.
16:510;0416[V  ]| Know where that$6#2$ is?
16:510;0417[B  ]| ~~ Queenstown*harbour, 
16:510;0417['  ]| Stephen replied.
16:510;0418[V  ]| ~~ That$6#2$ is right, 
16:510;0418['  ]| the sailor said. 
16:510;0418[V  ]| Fort*Camden and Fort*Carlisle. That$6#2$ is where
16:510;0419[V  ]| I hails from. I belongs there. That$6#2$ is where I hails from. My little woman is
16:510;0420[V  ]| down there. She is waiting for$4$ me, I know. \For$4$ England, home and beauty.\
16:510;0421[V  ]| She is my own true wife I have not seen for$4$ seven years now, sailing about.
16:510;0422['  ]| Mr*Bloom could easily picture his advent on$4$ this scene, the
16:510;0423['  ]| homecoming to$4$ the mariner's roadside shieling after having diddled Davy*Jones, 
16:510;0424['  ]| a rainy night with a blind moon. 
16:510;0424@c   | Across the world for$4$ a wife. Quite a
16:510;0425@c   | number of stories there were on$4$ that$6#2$ particular Alice*Ben*Bolt topic, Enoch*Arden 
16:510;0426@c   | and Rip*van*Winkle and does anybody hereabouts remember Caoc*O'Leary, 
16:510;0427@c   | a favourite and most trying declamation piece by$4$ the way of poor
16:510;0428@c   | John*Casey and a bit of perfect poetry in$4$ its own small way. Never about
16:510;0429@c   | the runaway wife coming back, however much devoted to$4$ the absentee. The
16:510;0430@c   | face at the window! Judge of his astonishment when he finally did breast
16:510;0431@c   | the tape and the awful truth dawned upon$4$ him anent his better half,
16:510;0432@c   | wrecked in$4$ his affections. You little expected me but I have come to$9$ stay and
16:510;0433@c   | make a fresh start. There she sits, a grasswidow, at the selfsame fireside.
16:510;0434@c   | Believes me dead, rocked in$4$ the cradle of the deep. And there sits uncle*Chubb 
16:510;0435@c   | or Tomkin, as the case might be, the publican of the Crown*and*Anchor, 
16:510;0436@c   | in$4$ shirtsleeves, eating rumpsteak and onions. No$2$ chair for$4$ father.
16:510;0437@c   | Broo! The wind! Her brandnew arrival is on$4$ her knee, \postmortem\ child.
16:511;0438@c   | With a high ro! and a randy ro! and my galloping tearing tandy, O! Bow to$4$
16:511;0439@c   | the inevitable. Grin and bear it. I remain with much love your
16:511;0440@c   | brokenhearted husband D*B*Murphy.
16:511;0441['  ]| The sailor, who$6#1$ scarcely seemed to$9$ be a Dublin resident, turned to$4$
16:511;0442['  ]| one of the jarvies with the request:
16:511;0443[V  ]| ~~ You do not happen to$9$ have such a thing as a spare chaw about you?
16:511;0444['  ]| The jarvey addressed as it happened had not but the keeper took a die
16:511;0445['  ]| of plug from his good jacket hanging on$4$ a nail and the desired object was
16:511;0446['  ]| passed from hand to$4$ hand.
16:511;0447[V  ]| ~~ Thank you, 
16:511;0447['  ]| the sailor said.
16:511;0448['  ]| He deposited the quid in$4$ his gob and, chewing and with some slow
16:511;0449['  ]| stammers, proceeded:
16:511;0450[V  ]| ~~ We come up$5$ this morning eleven o'clock. The threemaster \Rosevean\
16:511;0451[V  ]| from Bridgwater with bricks. I shipped to$9$ get over. Paid off this afternoon.
16:511;0452[V  ]| There is my discharge. See? D%*B%*Murphy. A%*B%*S%
16:511;0453['  ]| In$4$ confirmation of which$6#1$ statement he extricated from an inside
16:511;0454['  ]| pocket and handed to$4$ his neighbour a not very cleanlooking folded
16:511;0455['  ]| document.
16:511;0456[V  ]| ~~ You must have seen a fair share of the world, 
16:511;0456['  ]| the keeper remarked,
16:511;0457['  ]| leaning on$4$ the counter.
16:511;0458[V  ]| ~~ Why, 
16:511;0458['  ]| ~~the sailor answered upon$4$ reflection upon$4$ it, 
16:511;0458[V  ]| I have circumnavigated a
16:511;0459[V  ]| bit since I first joined on$5$. I was in$4$ the Red*Sea. I was in$4$ China and 
16:511;0460[V  ]| North*America and South*America. We was chased by$4$ pirates one voyage. I seen
16:511;0461[V  ]| icebergs plenty, growlers. I was in$4$ Stockholm and the Black*Sea, the
16:511;0462[V  ]| Dardanelles under Captain*Dalton, the best bloody man that$6#1$ ever scuttled a
16:511;0463[V  ]| ship. I seen Russia. \Gospodi pomilyou.\ That$6#2$ is how the Russians prays.
16:511;0464[V  ]| ~~ You seen queer sights, do not be talking, put in$5$ a jarvey.
16:511;0465[V  ]| ~~ Why, 
16:511;0465['  ]| the sailor said, shifting his partially chewed plug. 
16:511;0465[V  ]| ~~ I seen queer
16:511;0466[V  ]| things too, ups and downs. I seen a crocodile bite the fluke of an anchor
16:511;0467[V  ]| same as I chew that$6#2$ quid.
16:511;0468['  ]| He took out of his mouth the pulpy quid and, lodging it between his
16:511;0469['  ]| teeth, bit ferociously:
16:511;0470[V  ]| ~~ Khaan! Like$4$ that$6#2$. And I seen maneaters in$4$ Peru that$6#1$ eats corpses and the
16:511;0471[V  ]| livers of horses. Look here. Here they are. A friend of mine sent me.
16:511;0472['  ]| He fumbled out a picture postcard from his inside pocket which$6#1$
16:511;0473['  ]| seemed to$9$ be in$4$ its way a species of repository and pushed it along the table.
16:511;0474['  ]| The printed matter on$4$ it stated:
16:511;0474['Z ]| \Choza de Indios. Beni, Bolivia.\
16:511;0475['  ]| All focussed their attention at the scene exhibited, a group of savage
16:511;0476['  ]| women in$4$ striped loincloths, squatted, blinking, suckling, frowning,
16:511;0477['  ]| sleeping amid a swarm of infants (there must have been quite a score of
16:511;0478['  ]| them) outside some primitive shanties of osier.
16:511;0479[V  ]| ~~ Chews coca all day, 
16:511;0479['  ]| ~~ the communicative tarpaulin added. 
16:511;0479[V  ]| ~~ Stomachs like$4$
16:511;0480[V  ]| breadgraters. Cuts off their diddies when they can not bear no$2$ more children.
16:511;0481[V  ]| See them sitting there stark ballocknaked eating a dead horse's liver raw.
16:512;0482['  ]| His postcard proved a centre of attraction for$4$ Messrs the greenhorns
16:512;0483['  ]| for$4$ several minutes if not more.
16:512;0484[V  ]| ~~ Know how to$9$ keep them off? 
16:512;0484['  ]| ~~ he inquired generally.
16:512;0485['  ]| Nobody volunteering a statement he winked, saying:
16:512;0486[V  ]| ~~ Glass. That$6#2$ boggles them. Glass.
16:512;0487['  ]| Mr*Bloom, without evincing surprise, unostentatiously turned over
16:512;0488['  ]| the card to$9$ peruse the partially obliterated address and postmark. It ran as
16:512;0489['  ]| follows: 
16:512;0489['Z ]| \Tarjeta*Postal,\ \Se%?nor*A*Boudin, Galeria*Becche, Santiago, Chile.\
16:512;0490['  ]| There was no$2$ message evidently, as he took particular notice.
16:512;0491['  ]| Though not an implicit believer in$4$ the lurid story narrated (or the
16:512;0492['  ]| eggsniping transaction for$4$ that$6#2$ matter despite William*Tell and the
16:512;0493['  ]| Lazarillo-Don*Cesar*de*Bazan incident depicted in$4$ \Maritana\ on$4$ which$6#1$
16:512;0494['  ]| occasion the former's ball passed through the latter's hat) having detected a
16:512;0495['  ]| discrepancy between his name (assuming he was the person he represented
16:512;0496['  ]| himself to$9$ be and not sailing under false colours after having boxed the
16:512;0497['  ]| compass on$4$ the strict q%t% somewhere) and the fictitious addressee of the
16:512;0498['  ]| missive which$6#1$ made him nourish some suspicions of our friend's \bona fides\
16:512;0499['  ]| nevertheless it reminded him in$4$ a way of a longcherished plan he meant to$4$
16:512;0500['  ]| one day realise some Wednesday or Saturday of travelling to$4$ London \via\
16:512;0501['  ]| long sea not to$9$ say that$3$ he had ever travelled extensively to$4$ any great extent
16:512;0502['  ]| but he was at heart a born adventurer though by$4$ a trick of fate he had
16:512;0503['  ]| consistently remained a landlubber except you call going to$4$ Holyhead
16:512;0504['  ]| which$6#1$ was his longest. Martin*Cunningham frequently said he would work
16:512;0505['  ]| a pass through Egan but some deuced hitch or other eternally cropped up$5$
16:512;0506['  ]| with the net result that$3$ the scheme fell through. But even suppose it did
16:512;0507['  ]| come to$4$ planking down the needful and breaking Boyd's heart it was not so$5#1$
16:512;0508['  ]| dear, purse permitting, a few guineas at the outside considering the fare to$4$
16:512;0509['  ]| Mullingar where he figured on$4$ going was five and six, there and back. The
16:512;0510['  ]| trip would benefit health on$4$ account of the bracing ozone and be in$4$ every
16:512;0511['  ]| way thoroughly pleasurable, especially for$4$ a chap whose liver was out of
16:512;0512['  ]| order, seeing the different places along the route, Plymouth, Falmouth,
16:512;0513['  ]| Southampton and so$5#2$ on$5$ culminating in$4$ an instructive tour of the sights of
16:512;0514['  ]| the great metropolis, the spectacle of our modern Babylon where doubtless
16:512;0515['  ]| he would see the greatest improvement, tower, abbey, wealth of Park*lane to$9$
16:512;0516['  ]| renew acquaintance with. Another thing just struck him as a by$4$ no$2$ means
16:512;0517['  ]| bad notion was he might have a gaze around on$4$ the spot to$9$ see about trying
16:512;0518['  ]| to$9$ make arrangements about a concert tour of summer music embracing the
16:512;0519['  ]| most prominent pleasure resorts, Margate with mixed bathing and firstrate
16:512;0520['  ]| hydros and spas, Eastbourne, Scarborough, Margate and so$5#2$ on$5$, beautiful
16:512;0521['  ]| Bournemouth, the Channel*islands and similar bijou spots, which$6#1$ might
16:512;0522['  ]| prove highly remunerative. Not, of course, with a hole and corner scratch
16:512;0523['  ]| company or local ladies on$4$ the job, witness Mrs*C*P*M^'Coy type lend me
16:512;0524['  ]| your valise and I will$1$ post you the ticket. No$7$, something top notch, an all star
16:512;0525['  ]| Irish caste, the Tweedy-Flower grand opera company with his own legal
16:512;0526['  ]| consort as leading lady as a sort of counterblast to$4$ the Elster*Grimes and
16:513;0527['  ]| Moody-Manners, perfectly simple matter and he was quite sanguine of
16:513;0528['  ]| success, providing puffs in$4$ the local papers could be managed by$4$ some
16:513;0529['  ]| fellow with a bit of bounce who$6#1$ could pull the indispensable wires and thus
16:513;0530['  ]| combine business with pleasure. But who$6#2$? That$6#2$ was the rub.
16:513;0531['  ]| Also, without being actually positive, it struck him a great field was to$9$
16:513;0532['  ]| be opened up$5$ in$4$ the line of opening up$5$ new routes to$9$ keep pace with the
16:513;0533['  ]| times \apropos\ of the Fishguard-Rosslare route which$6#1$, it was mooted, was
16:513;0534['  ]| once more on$4$ the \tapis\ in$4$ the circumlocution departments with the usual
16:513;0535['  ]| quantity of red tape and dillydallying of effete fogeydom and dunderheads
16:513;0536['  ]| generally. A great opportunity there certainly was for$4$ push and enterprise
16:513;0537['  ]| to$9$ meet the travelling needs of the public at large, the average man, i%e%
16:513;0538['  ]| Brown%*Robinson*and*Co.
16:513;0539['  ]| It was a subject of regret and absurd as well on$4$ the face of it and no$2$
16:513;0540['  ]| small blame to$4$ our vaunted society that$3$ the man in$4$ the street, when the
16:513;0541['  ]| system really needed toning up$5$, for$4$ the matter of a couple of paltry pounds
16:513;0542['  ]| was debarred from seeing more of the world they lived in$4$ instead of being
16:513;0543['  ]| always and ever cooped up$5$ since my old stick-in-the-mud took me for$4$ a
16:513;0544['  ]| wife. After all, hang it, they had their eleven and more humdrum months of
16:513;0545['  ]| it and merited a radical change of \venue\ after the grind of city life in$4$ the
16:513;0546['  ]| summertime for$4$ choice when dame Nature is at her spectacular best
16:513;0547['  ]| constituting nothing short of a new lease of life. There were equally
16:513;0548['  ]| excellent opportunities for$4$ vacationists in$4$ the home island, delightful sylvan
16:513;0549['  ]| spots for$4$ rejuvenation, offering a plethora of attractions as well as a bracing
16:513;0550['  ]| tonic for$4$ the system in$4$ and around Dublin and its picturesque environs
16:513;0551['  ]| even, Poulaphouca to$4$ which$6#1$ there was a steamtram, but also farther away
16:513;0552['  ]| from the madding crowd in$4$ Wicklow, rightly termed the garden of Ireland,
16:513;0553['  ]| an ideal neighbourhood for$4$ elderly wheelmen so$5#1$ long as it did not come
16:513;0554['  ]| down, and in$4$ the wilds of Donegal where if report spoke true the \coup d'#.^oil\
16:513;0555['  ]| was exceedingly grand though the lastnamed locality was not easily
16:513;0556['  ]| getatable so$3$ that$3$ the influx of visitors was not as yet all that$6#1$ it might be
16:513;0557['  ]| considering the signal benefits to$9$ be derived from it while Howth with its
16:513;0558['  ]| historic associations and otherwise, Silken*Thomas, Grace*O'Malley,
16:513;0559['  ]| George*IV, rhododendrons several hundred feet above sealevel was a
16:513;0560['  ]| favourite haunt with all sorts and conditions of men especially in$4$ the spring
16:513;0561['  ]| when young men's fancy, though it had its own toll of deaths by$4$ falling off
16:513;0562['  ]| the cliffs by$4$ design or accidentally, usually, by$4$ the way, on$4$ their left leg, it
16:513;0563['  ]| being only about three quarters of an hour's run from the pillar. Because of
16:513;0564['  ]| course uptodate tourist travelling was as yet merely in$4$ its infancy, so$5#2$ to$9$
16:513;0565['  ]| speak, and the accommodation left much to$9$ be desired. Interesting to$9$
16:513;0566['  ]| fathom it seemed to$4$ him from a motive of curiosity, pure and simple, was
16:513;0567['  ]| whether it was the traffic that$6#1$ created the route or viceversa or the two sides
16:513;0568['  ]| in$4$ fact. He turned back the other side of the card, picture, and passed it
16:513;0569['  ]| along to$4$ Stephen.
16:513;0570[V  ]| ~~ I seen a Chinese one time, 
16:513;0570['  ]| ~~ related the doughty narrator,
16:513;0570[V  ]| ~~ that$6#1$ had little
16:513;0571[V  ]| pills like$4$ putty and he put them in$4$ the water and they opened and every pill
16:514;0572[V  ]| was something different. One was a ship, another was a house, another was
16:514;0573[V  ]| a flower. Cooks rats in$4$ your soup,
16:514;0573['  ]| he appetisingly added,
16:514;0573[V  ]| the chinks does.
16:514;0574['  ]| Possibly perceiving an expression of dubiosity on$4$ their faces the
16:514;0575['  ]| globetrotter went on$5$, adhering to$4$ his adventures.
16:514;0576[V  ]| ~~ And I seen a man killed in$4$ Trieste by$4$ an Italian chap. Knife in$4$ his back.
16:514;0577[V  ]| Knife like$4$ that$6#2$.
16:514;0578['  ]| Whilst speaking he produced a dangerouslooking claspknife quite in$4$
16:514;0579['  ]| keeping with his character and held it in$4$ the striking position.
16:514;0580[V  ]| ~~ In$4$ a knockingshop it was count of a tryon between two smugglers. Fellow
16:514;0581[V  ]| hid behind a door, come up$5$ behind him. Like$4$ that$6#2$. 
16:514;0581[X  ]| \Prepare to$9$ meet your\
16:514;0582[X  ]| \God\, 
16:514;0582[V  ]| says he. Chuk! It went into his back up$5$ to$4$ the butt.
16:514;0583['  ]| His heavy glance drowsily roaming about kind of defied their further
16:514;0584['  ]| questions even should they by$4$ any chance want to$9$.
16:514;0585[V  ]| ~~ That$6#2$ is a good bit of steel, 
16:514;0585['  ]| ~~ repeated he, examining his formidable \stiletto\.
16:514;0586['  ]| After which$6#1$ harrowing \de=nouement\ sufficient to$9$ appal the stoutest he
16:514;0587['  ]| snapped the blade to$5$ and stowed the weapon in$4$ question away as before in$4$
16:514;0588['  ]| his chamber of horrors, otherwise pocket.
16:514;0589[V  ]| ~~ They are great for$4$ the cold steel, 
16:514;0589['  ]| ~~ somebody who$6#1$ was evidently quite in$4$ the
16:514;0590['  ]| dark said for$4$ the benefit of them all. 
16:514;0590[V  ]| That$6#2$ was why they thought the park
16:514;0591[V  ]| murders of the invincibles was done by$4$ foreigners on$4$ account of them using
16:514;0592[V  ]| knives.
16:514;0593['  ]| At this remark passed obviously in$4$ the spirit of \where ignorance is\
16:514;0594['  ]| \bliss\ Mr*B% and Stephen, each in$4$ his own particular way, both instinctively
16:514;0595['  ]| exchanged meaning glances, in$4$ a religious silence of the strictly \entre nous\
16:514;0596['  ]| variety however, towards where Skin-the-Goat, \alias\ the keeper, not
16:514;0597['  ]| turning a hair, was drawing spurts of liquid from his boiler affair. His
16:514;0598['  ]| inscrutable face which$6#1$ was really a work of art, a perfect study in$4$ itself,
16:514;0599['  ]| beggaring description, conveyed the impression that$3$ he did not understand
16:514;0600['  ]| one jot of what was going on$5$. Funny, very!
16:514;0601['  ]| There ensued a somewhat lengthy pause. One man was reading in$4$ fits
16:514;0602['  ]| and starts a stained by$4$ coffee evening journal, another the card with the
16:514;0603['  ]| natives \choza de\, another the seaman's discharge. Mr*Bloom, so$5#1$ far as he
16:514;0604['  ]| was personally concerned, was just pondering in$4$ pensive mood. He vividly
16:514;0605['  ]| recollected when the occurrence alluded to$5$ took place as well as yesterday,
16:514;0606['  ]| roughly some score of years previously in$4$ the days of the land troubles,
16:514;0607['  ]| when it took the civilised world by$4$ storm, figuratively speaking, early in$4$ the
16:514;0608['  ]| eighties, eightyone to$9$ be correct, when he was just turned fifteen.
16:514;0609[V  ]| ~~ Ay, boss, 
16:514;0609['  ]| ~~ the sailor broke in$5$. 
16:514;0609[V  ]| ~~ Give us back them papers.
16:514;0610['  ]| The request being complied with he clawed them up$5$ with a scrape.
16:514;0611[C  ]| ~~ Have you seen the rock of Gibraltar? 
16:514;0611['  ]| ~~ Mr*Bloom inquired.
16:514;0612['  ]| The sailor grimaced, chewing, in$4$ a way that$6#1$ might be read as yes, ay
16:514;0613['  ]| or no$7$.
16:514;0614[C  ]| ~~ Ah, you have touched there too, 
16:514;0614['  ]| ~~ Mr*Bloom said,
16:514;0614[C  ]| ~~ Europa*point, 
16:514;0614['  ]| thinking he
16:514;0615['  ]| had, in$4$ the hope that$3$ the rover might possibly by$4$ some reminiscences but he
16:515;0616['  ]| failed to$9$ do so$5#2$, simply letting spirt a jet of spew into the sawdust, and shook
16:515;0617['  ]| his head with a sort of lazy scorn.
16:515;0618[C  ]| ~~ What year would that$6#2$ be about? 
16:515;0618['  ]| Mr*B interrogated. 
16:515;0618[C  ]| Can you recall the
16:515;0619[C  ]| boats?
16:515;0620['  ]| Our \soi-disant\ sailor munched heavily awhile hungrily before
16:515;0621['  ]| answering:
16:515;0622[V  ]| ~~ I am tired of all them rocks in$4$ the sea, 
16:515;0622['  ]| ~~ he said, 
16:515;0622[V  ]| ~~ and boats and ships. Salt
16:515;0623[V  ]| junk all the time.
16:515;0624['  ]| Tired seemingly, he ceased. His questioner perceiving that$3$ he was not
16:515;0625['  ]| likely to$9$ get a great deal of change out of such a wily old customer, fell to$4$
16:515;0626['  ]| woolgathering on$4$ the enormous dimensions of the water about the globe,
16:515;0627['  ]| suffice it to$9$ say that$3$, as a casual glance at the map revealed, it covered fully
16:515;0628['  ]| three fourths of it and he fully realised accordingly what it meant to$9$ rule the
16:515;0629['  ]| waves. On$4$ more than one occasion, a dozen at the lowest, near the North*Bull 
16:515;0630['  ]| at Dollymount he had remarked a superannuated old salt, evidently
16:515;0631['  ]| derelict, seated habitually near the not particularly redolent sea on$4$ the wall,
16:515;0632['  ]| staring quite obliviously at it and it at him, dreaming of fresh woods and
16:515;0633['  ]| pastures new as someone somewhere sings. And it left him wondering why.
16:515;0634['  ]| Possibly he had tried to$9$ find out the secret for$4$ himself, floundering up$4$ and
16:515;0635['  ]| down the antipodes and all that$6#2$ sort of thing and over and under, well, not
16:515;0636['  ]| exactly under, tempting the fates. And the odds were twenty to$4$ nil there was
16:515;0637['  ]| really no$2$ secret about it at all. Nevertheless, without going into the \minutiae\
16:515;0638['  ]| of the business, the eloquent fact remained that$3$ the sea was there in$4$ all its
16:515;0639['  ]| glory and in$4$ the natural course of things somebody or other had to$9$ sail on$4$ it
16:515;0640['  ]| and fly in$4$ the face of providence though it merely went to$9$ show how people
16:515;0641['  ]| usually contrived to$9$ load that$6#2$ sort of onus on$5$ to$4$ the other fellow like$4$ the hell
16:515;0642['  ]| idea and the lottery and insurance which$6#1$ were run on$4$ identically the same
16:515;0643['  ]| lines so$3$ that$3$ for$4$ that$6#2$ very reason if no$2$ other lifeboat Sunday was a highly
16:515;0644['  ]| laudable institution to$4$ which$6#1$ the public at large, no$2$ matter where living
16:515;0645['  ]| inland or seaside, as the case might be, having it brought home to$4$ them like$4$
16:515;0646['  ]| that$6#2$ should extend its gratitude also to$4$ the harbourmasters and coastguard
16:515;0647['  ]| service who$6#1$ had to$9$ man the rigging and push off and out amid the elements
16:515;0648['  ]| whatever the season when duty called \Ireland expects that$3$ every man\ and so$5#2$
16:515;0649['  ]| on$5$ and sometimes had a terrible time of it in$4$ the wintertime not forgetting
16:515;0650['  ]| the Irish lights, Kish and others, liable to$9$ capsize at any moment, rounding
16:515;0651['  ]| which$6#1$ he once with his daughter had experienced some remarkably choppy,
16:515;0652['  ]| not to$9$ say stormy, weather.
16:515;0653[V  ]| ~~ There was a fellow sailed with me in$4$ the \Rover\, 
16:515;0653['  ]| ~~ the old seadog, himself a
16:515;0654['  ]| rover, proceeded, 
16:515;0654[V  ]| went ashore and took up$5$ a soft job as gentleman's valet at
16:515;0655[V  ]| six quid a month. Them are his trousers I have on$4$ me and he gave me an
16:515;0656[V  ]| oilskin and that$6#2$ jackknife. I am game for$4$ that$6#2$ job, shaving and brushup. I
16:515;0657[V  ]| hate roaming about. There is my son now, Danny, run off to$4$ sea and his
16:515;0658[V  ]| mother got him took in$4$ a draper's in$4$ Cork where he could be drawing easy
16:515;0659[V  ]| money.
16:516;0660[X  ]| ~~ What age is he? 
16:516;0660['  ]| ~~ queried one hearer who$6#1$, by$4$ the way, seen from the side,
16:516;0661['  ]| bore a distant resemblance to$4$ Henry*Campbell, the townclerk, away from
16:516;0662['  ]| the carking cares of office, unwashed of course and in$4$ a seedy getup and a
16:516;0663['  ]| strong suspicion of nosepaint about the nasal appendage.
16:516;0664[V  ]| ~~ Why, 
16:516;0664['  ]| the sailor answered with a slow puzzled utterance, 
16:516;0664[V  ]| my son, Danny?
16:516;0665[V  ]| He would be about eighteen now, way I figure it.
16:516;0666['  ]| The Skibbereen father hereupon tore open his grey or unclean
16:516;0667['  ]| anyhow shirt with his two hands and scratched away at his chest on$4$ which$6#1$
16:516;0668['  ]| was to$9$ be seen an image tattooed in$4$ blue Chinese ink intended to$9$ represent
16:516;0669['  ]| an anchor.
16:516;0670[V  ]| ~~ There was lice in$4$ that$6#2$ bunk in$4$ Bridgwater, 
16:516;0670['  ]| he remarked, 
16:516;0670[V  ]| sure as nuts. I
16:516;0671[V  ]| must get a wash tomorrow or next day. It is them black lads I objects to$4$. I
16:516;0672[V  ]| hate those buggers. Suck your blood dry, they does.
16:516;0673['  ]| Seeing they were all looking at his chest he accommodatingly dragged
16:516;0674['  ]| his shirt more open so$3$ that$3$ on$4$ top of the timehonoured symbol of the
16:516;0675['  ]| mariner's hope and rest they had a full view of the figure 16 and a young
16:516;0676['  ]| man's sideface looking frowningly rather.
16:516;0677[V  ]| ~~ Tattoo, 
16:516;0677['  ]| ~~ the exhibitor explained. 
16:516;0677[V  ]| ~~ That$6#2$ was done when we were lying
16:516;0678[V  ]| becalmed off Odessa in$4$ the Black*Sea under Captain*Dalton. Fellow, the
16:516;0679[V  ]| name of Antonio, done that$6#2$. There he is himself, a Greek.
16:516;0680[V  ]| ~~ Did it hurt much doing it? 
16:516;0680['  ]| ~~ one asked the sailor.
16:516;0681['  ]| That$6#2$ worthy, however, was busily engaged in$4$ collecting round the.
16:516;0682['  ]| Someway in$4$ his. Squeezing or.
16:516;0683[V  ]| ~~ See here, 
16:516;0683['  ]| ~~ he said, showing Antonio. 
16:516;0683[V  ]| There he is cursing the mate. And
16:516;0684[V  ]| there he is now, 
16:516;0684['  ]| he added, 
16:516;0684[V  ]| the same fellow, pulling the skin with his fingers,
16:516;0685[V  ]| some special knack evidently, and he laughing at a yarn.
16:516;0686['  ]| And in$4$ point of fact the young man named Antonio's livid face did
16:516;0687['  ]| actually look like$4$ forced smiling and the curious effect excited the
16:516;0688['  ]| unreserved admiration of everybody including Skin-the-Goat, who$6#1$ this
16:516;0689['  ]| time stretched over.
16:516;0690[V  ]| ~~ Ay, ay, 
16:516;0690['  ]| sighed the sailor, looking down on$4$ his manly chest. 
16:516;0690[V  ]| He is gone
16:516;0691[V  ]| too. Ate by$4$ sharks after. Ay, ay.
16:516;0692['  ]| He let go of the skin so$3$ that$3$ the profile resumed the normal expression
16:516;0693['  ]| of before.
16:516;0694[V  ]| ~~ Neat bit of work, 
16:516;0694['  ]| one longshoreman said.
16:516;0695[V  ]| ~~ And what is the number for$4$? 
16:516;0695['  ]| loafer number two queried.
16:516;0696[V  ]| ~~ Eaten alive? 
16:516;0696['  ]| a third asked the sailor.
16:516;0697[V  ]| ~~ Ay, ay, 
16:516;0697['  ]| sighed again the latter personage, more cheerily this time with
16:516;0698['  ]| some sort of a half smile for$4$ a brief duration only in$4$ the direction of the
16:516;0699['  ]| questioner about the number. 
16:516;0699[V  ]| Ate. A Greek he was.
16:516;0700['  ]| And then he added with rather gallowsbird humour considering his
16:516;0701['  ]| alleged end:
16:516;0702[Z  ]| ~~ \As bad as old Antonio,\
16:516;0703[Z  ]| \For$3$ he left me on$4$ my ownio.\
16:517;0704['  ]| The face of a streetwalker glazed and haggard under a black straw
16:517;0705['  ]| hat peered askew round the door of the shelter palpably reconnoitring on$4$
16:517;0706['  ]| her own with the object of bringing more grist to$4$ her mill. Mr*Bloom,
16:517;0707['  ]| scarcely knowing which$6#1$ way to$9$ look, turned away on$4$ the moment
16:517;0708['  ]| flusterfied but outwardly calm, and, picking up$5$ from the table the pink sheet
16:517;0709['  ]| of the Abbey*street organ which$6#1$ the jarvey, if such he was, had laid aside,
16:517;0710['  ]| he picked it up$5$ and looked at the pink of the paper though why pink. His
16:517;0711['  ]| reason for$4$ so$5#2$ doing was he recognised on$4$ the moment round the door the
16:517;0712['  ]| same face he had caught a fleeting glimpse of that$6#2$ afternoon on$4$ Ormond*quay, 
16:517;0713['  ]| the partially idiotic female, namely, of the lane who$6#1$ knew the lady in$4$
16:517;0714['  ]| the brown costume does be with you (Mrs*B%) and begged the chance of his
16:517;0715['  ]| washing. Also why washing which$6#1$ seemed rather vague than not, your
16:517;0716['  ]| washing. Still candour compelled him to$9$ admit he had washed his wife's
16:517;0717['  ]| undergarments when soiled in$4$ Holles*street and women would and did too
16:517;0718['  ]| a man's similar garments initialled with Bewley*and*Draper's marking ink
16:517;0719['  ]| (hers were, that$6#2$ is) if they really loved him, that$6#2$ is to$9$ say, love me, love my
16:517;0720['  ]| dirty shirt. Still just then, being on$4$ tenterhooks, he desired the female's
16:517;0721['  ]| room more than her company so$3$ it came as a genuine relief when the keeper
16:517;0722['  ]| made her a rude sign to$9$ take herself off. Round the side of the \Evening*Telegraph\ 
16:517;0723['  ]| he just caught a fleeting glimpse of her face round the side of the
16:517;0724['  ]| door with a kind of demented glassy grin showing that$3$ she was not exactly
16:517;0725['  ]| all there, viewing with evident amusement the group of gazers round
16:517;0726['  ]| skipper Murphy's nautical chest and then there was no$2$ more of her.
16:517;0727[V  ]| ~~ The gunboat, 
16:517;0727['  ]| the keeper said.
16:517;0728[C  ]| ~~ It beats me, 
16:517;0728['  ]| Mr*Bloom confided to$4$ Stephen, 
16:517;0728[C  ]| medically I am speaking, how
16:517;0729[C  ]| a wretched creature like$4$ that$6#2$ from the Lock*hospital reeking with disease
16:517;0730[C  ]| can be barefaced enough to$9$ solicit or how any man in$4$ his sober senses, if he
16:517;0731[C  ]| values his health in$4$ the least. Unfortunate creature! Of course I suppose
16:517;0732[C  ]| some man is ultimately responsible for$4$ her condition. Still no$2$ matter what
16:517;0733[C  ]| the cause is from ~
16:517;0734['  ]| Stephen had not noticed her and shrugged his shoulders, merely
16:517;0735['  ]| remarking:
16:517;0736[B  ]| ~~ In$4$ this country people sell much more than she ever had and do a roaring
16:517;0737[B  ]| trade. Fear not them that$6#1$ sell the body but have not power to$9$ buy the soul.
16:517;0738[B  ]| She is a bad merchant. She buys dear and sells cheap.
16:517;0739['  ]| The elder man, though not by$4$ any manner of means an old maid or a
16:517;0740['  ]| prude, said
16:517;0740['XX]| it was nothing short of a crying scandal that$6#1$ ought to$9$ be put a
16:517;0741['XX]| stop to$4$ \instanter\ to$9$ say that$3$ women of that$6#2$ stamp (quite apart from any
16:517;0742['XX]| oldmaidish squeamishness on$4$ the subject), a necessary evil, were not
16:517;0743['XX]| licensed and medically inspected by$4$ the proper authorities, a thing, he could
16:517;0744['XX]| truthfully state, he, as a \paterfamilias\, was a stalwart advocate of from the
16:517;0745['XX]| very first start. Whoever embarked on$4$ a policy of the sort,
16:517;0745['  ]| he said,
16:517;0745['XX]| and
16:517;0746['XX]| ventilated the matter thoroughly would confer a lasting boon on$4$ everybody
16:517;0747['XX]| concerned.
16:518;0748[C  ]| ~~ You as a good catholic, 
16:518;0748['  ]| he observed, 
16:518;0748[C  ]| talking of body and soul, believe in$4$
16:518;0749[C  ]| the soul. Or do you mean the intelligence, the brainpower as such, as
16:518;0750[C  ]| distinct from any outside object, the table, let us say, that$6#2$ cup. I believe in$4$
16:518;0751[C  ]| that$6#2$ myself because it has been explained by$4$ competent men as the
16:518;0752[C  ]| convolutions of the grey matter. Otherwise we would never have such
16:518;0753[C  ]| inventions as X*rays, for$4$ instance. Do you?
16:518;0754['  ]| Thus cornered, Stephen had to$9$ make a superhuman effort of memory
16:518;0755['  ]| to$9$ try and concentrate and remember before he could say:
16:518;0756[B  ]| ~~ They tell me on$4$ the best authority it is a simple substance and therefore
16:518;0757[B  ]| incorruptible. It would be immortal, I understand, but for$4$ the possibility of
16:518;0758[B  ]| its annihilation by$4$ its First Cause Who$6#1$, from all I can hear, is quite capable
16:518;0759[B  ]| of adding that$6#2$ to$4$ the number of His other practical jokes, \corruptio per se\
16:518;0760[B  ]| and \corruptio per accidens\ both being excluded by$4$ court etiquette.
16:518;0761['  ]| Mr*Bloom thoroughly acquiesced in$4$ the general gist of this though the
16:518;0762['  ]| mystical finesse involved was a bit out of his sublunary depth still he felt
16:518;0763['  ]| bound to$9$ enter a demurrer on$4$ the head of simple, promptly rejoining:
16:518;0764[C  ]| ~~ Simple? I should not think that$6#2$ is the proper word. Of course, I grant you,
16:518;0765[C  ]| to$9$ concede a point, you do knock across a simple soul once in$4$ a blue moon.
16:518;0766[C  ]| But what I am anxious to$9$ arrive at is it is one thing for$4$ instance to$9$ invent
16:518;0767[C  ]| those rays R^ontgen did or the telescope like$4$ Edison, though I believe it was
16:518;0768[C  ]| before his time Galileo was the man, I mean, and the same applies to$4$ the
16:518;0769[C  ]| laws, for$4$ example, of a farreaching natural phenomenon such as electricity
16:518;0770[C  ]| but it is a horse of quite another colour to$9$ say you believe in$4$ the existence of
16:518;0771[C  ]| a supernatural God.
16:518;0772[B  ]| ~~ O that$6#2$, 
16:518;0772['  ]| Stephen expostulated, 
16:518;0772[B  ]| has been proved conclusively by$4$ several of
16:518;0773[B  ]| the bestknown passages in$4$ Holy*Writ, apart from circumstantial evidence.
16:518;0774['  ]| On$4$ this knotty point however the views of the pair, poles apart as they
16:518;0775['  ]| were both in$4$ schooling and everything else with the marked difference in$4$
16:518;0776['  ]| their respective ages, clashed.
16:518;0777[C  ]| ~~ Has been? 
16:518;0777['  ]| the more experienced of the two objected, sticking to$4$ his
16:518;0778['  ]| original point with a smile of unbelief. 
16:518;0778[C  ]| I am not so$5#1$ sure about that$6#2$. That$6#2$ is a
16:518;0779[C  ]| matter for$4$ everyman's opinion and, without dragging in$4$ the sectarian side
16:518;0780[C  ]| of the business, I beg to$9$ differ with you \7in 7toto\ there. My belief is, to$9$ tell you
16:518;0781[C  ]| the candid truth, that$3$ those bits were genuine forgeries all of them put in$5$ by$4$
16:518;0782[C  ]| monks most probably or it is the big question of our national poet over
16:518;0783[C  ]| again, who$6#1$ precisely wrote them like$4$ \Hamlet\ and Bacon, as, you who$6#1$ know
16:518;0784[C  ]| your Shakespeare infinitely better than I, of course I need not tell you. Can not
16:518;0785[C  ]| you drink that$6#2$ coffee, by$4$ the way? Let me stir it. And take a piece of that$6#2$
16:518;0786[C  ]| bun. It is like$4$ one of our skipper's bricks disguised. Still no-one can give
16:518;0787[C  ]| what he has not got. Try a bit.
16:518;0788[B  ]| ~~ Could not, 
16:518;0788['  ]| Stephen contrived to$9$ get out, his mental organs for$4$ the moment
16:518;0789['  ]| refusing to$9$ dictate further.
16:518;0790['  ]| Faultfinding being a proverbially bad hat Mr*Bloom thought well to$9$
16:518;0791['  ]| stir or try to$4$ the clotted sugar from the bottom and reflected with something
16:518;0792['  ]| approaching acrimony on$4$ the Coffee*Palace and its temperance (and
16:519;0793['  ]| lucrative) work.
16:519;0793['XX]| To$9$ be sure it was a legitimate object and beyond yea or nay
16:519;0794['XX]| did a world of good, shelters such as the present one they were in$4$ run on$4$
16:519;0795['XX]| teetotal lines for$4$ vagrants at night, concerts, dramatic evenings and useful
16:519;0796['XX]| lectures (admittance free) by$4$ qualified men for$4$ the lower orders.
16:519;0796['  ]| On$4$ the
16:519;0797['  ]| other hand he had a distinct and painful recollection they paid his wife,
16:519;0798['  ]| Madam*Marion*Tweedy who$6#1$ had been prominently associated with it at
16:519;0799['  ]| one time, a very modest remuneration indeed for$4$ her pianoplaying. The
16:519;0800['  ]| idea, he was strongly inclined to$9$ believe, was to$9$ do good and net a profit,
16:519;0801['  ]| there being no$2$ competition to$9$ speak of. Sulphate of copper poison SO#,4 or
16:519;0802['  ]| something in$4$ some dried peas he remembered reading of in$4$ a cheap
16:519;0803['  ]| eatinghouse somewhere but he could not remember when it was or where.
16:519;0804['  ]| Anyhow inspection, medical inspection, of all eatables seemed to$4$ him more
16:519;0805['  ]| than ever necessary which$6#1$ possibly accounted for$4$ the vogue of Dr*Tibble's
16:519;0806['  ]| Vi-Cocoa on$4$ account of the medical analysis involved.
16:519;0807[C  ]| ~~ Have a shot at it now, 
16:519;0807['  ]| he ventured to$9$ say of the coffee after being stirred.
16:519;0808['  ]| Thus prevailed on$5$ to$9$ at any rate taste it Stephen lifted the heavy mug
16:519;0809['  ]| from the brown puddle it clopped out of when taken up$5$ by$4$ the handle and
16:519;0810['  ]| took a sip of the offending beverage.
16:519;0811[C  ]| ~~ Still it is solid food, 
16:519;0811['  ]| his good genius urged, 
16:519;0811[C  ]| I am a stickler for$4$ solid food,
16:519;0812['  ]| his one and only reason being not gormandising in$4$ the least but regular
16:519;0813['  ]| meals as the \sine qua non\ for$4$ any kind of proper work, mental or manual.
16:519;0814[C  ]| You ought to$9$ eat more solid food. You would feel a different man.
16:519;0815[B  ]| ~~ Liquids I can eat, 
16:519;0815['  ]| Stephen said. 
16:519;0815[B  ]| But O, oblige me by$4$ taking away that$6#2$
16:519;0816[B  ]| knife. I can not look at the point of it. It reminds me of Roman history.
16:519;0817['  ]| Mr*Bloom promptly did as suggested and removed the incriminated
16:519;0818['  ]| article, a blunt hornhandled ordinary knife with nothing particularly
16:519;0819['  ]| Roman or antique about it to$4$ the lay eye, observing that$3$ the point was the
16:519;0820['  ]| least conspicuous point about it.
16:519;0821[C  ]| ~~ Our mutual friend's stories are like$4$ himself, 
16:519;0821['  ]| ~~ Mr*Bloom \apropos\ of knives
16:519;0822['  ]| remarked to$4$ his \confidante\ \sotto voce\. 
16:519;0822[C  ]| Do you think they are genuine? He
16:519;0823[C  ]| could spin those yarns for$4$ hours on$4$ end all night long and lie like$4$ old boots.
16:519;0824[C  ]| Look at him.
16:519;0825['  ]| Yet still though his eyes were thick with sleep and sea air life was full
16:519;0826['  ]| of a host of things and coincidences of a terrible nature and it was quite
16:519;0827['  ]| within the bounds of possibility that$3$ it was not an entire fabrication though
16:519;0828['  ]| at first blush there was not much inherent probability in$4$ all the spoof he got
16:519;0829['  ]| off his chest being strictly accurate gospel.
16:519;0830['  ]| He had been meantime taking stock of the individual in$4$ front of him
16:519;0831['  ]| and Sherlockholmesing him up$5$ ever since he clapped eyes on$4$ him. Though
16:519;0832['  ]| a wellpreserved man of no$2$ little stamina, if a trifle prone to$4$ baldness, there
16:519;0833['  ]| was something spurious in$4$ the cut of his jib that$6#1$ suggested a jail delivery
16:519;0834['  ]| and it required no$2$ violent stretch of imagination to$9$ associate such a
16:519;0835['  ]| weirdlooking specimen with the oakum and treadmill fraternity. He might
16:519;0836['  ]| even have done for$4$ his man supposing it was his own case he told, as people
16:519;0837['  ]| often did about others, namely, that$3$ he killed him himself and had served
16:520;0838['  ]| his four or five goodlooking years in$4$ durance vile to$9$ say nothing of the
16:520;0839['  ]| Antonio personage (no$2$ relation to$4$ the dramatic personage of identical name
16:520;0840['  ]| who$6#1$ sprang from the pen of our national poet) who$6#1$ expiated his crimes in$4$
16:520;0841['  ]| the melodramatic manner above described. On$4$ the other hand he might be
16:520;0842['  ]| only bluffing, a pardonable weakness because meeting unmistakable mugs,
16:520;0843['  ]| Dublin residents, like$4$ those jarvies waiting news from abroad would tempt
16:520;0844['  ]| any ancient mariner who$6#1$ sailed the ocean seas to$9$ draw the long bow about
16:520;0845['  ]| the schooner \Hesperus\ and etcetera. And when all was said and done the
16:520;0846['  ]| lies a fellow told about himself could not probably hold a proverbial candle
16:520;0847['  ]| to$4$ the wholesale whoppers other fellows coined about him.
16:520;0848[C  ]| ~~ Mind you, I am not saying that$3$ it is all a pure invention, 
16:520;0848['  ]| he resumed.
16:520;0849[C  ]| Analogous scenes are occasionally, if not often, met with. Giants, though
16:520;0850[C  ]| that$6#2$ is rather a far cry, you see once in$4$ a way, Marcella the midget queen. In$4$
16:520;0851[C  ]| those waxworks in$4$ Henry*street I myself saw some Aztecs, as they are
16:520;0852[C  ]| called, sitting bowlegged, they could not straighten their legs if you paid
16:520;0853[C  ]| them because the muscles here, you see, 
16:520;0853['  ]| he proceeded, indicating on$4$ his
16:520;0854['  ]| companion the brief outline of the sinews or whatever you like$1$ to$9$ call them
16:520;0855['  ]| behind the right knee, 
16:520;0855[C  ]| were utterly powerless from sitting that$6#2$ way so$5#1$ long
16:520;0856[C  ]| cramped up$5$, being adored as gods. There is an example again of simple
16:520;0857[C  ]| souls.
16:520;0858['XX]| However reverting to$4$ friend Sinbad and his horrifying adventures
16:520;0859['XX]| (who$6#1$ reminded him a bit of Ludwig, \alias\ Ledwidge, when he occupied the
16:520;0860['XX]| boards of the Gaiety when Michael*Gunn was identified with the
16:520;0861['XX]| management in$4$ the \Flying*Dutchman\, a stupendous success, and his host of
16:520;0862['XX]| admirers came in$4$ large numbers, everyone simply flocking to$9$ hear him
16:520;0863['XX]| though ships of any sort, phantom or the reverse, on$4$ the stage usually fell a
16:520;0864['XX]| bit flat as also did trains) there was nothing intrinsically incompatible about
16:520;0865['XX]| it, he conceded. On$4$ the contrary that$6#2$ stab in$4$ the back touch was quite in$4$
16:520;0866['XX]| keeping with those italianos though candidly he was none the less free to$9$
16:520;0867['XX]| admit those icecreamers and friers in$4$ the fish way not to$9$ mention the chip
16:520;0868['XX]| potato variety and so$5#2$ forth over in$4$ little Italy there near the Coombe were
16:520;0869['XX]| sober thrifty hardworking fellows except perhaps a bit too given to$4$
16:520;0870['XX]| pothunting the harmless necessary animal of the feline persuasion of others
16:520;0871['XX]| at night so$3$ as to$9$ have a good old succulent tuckin with garlic \de rigueur\ off
16:520;0872['XX]| him or her next day on$4$ the quiet and,
16:520;0872['  ]| he added,
16:520;0872['XX]| on$4$ the cheap.
16:520;0873[C  ]| ~~ Spaniards, for$4$ instance,
16:520;0873['  ]| he continued,
16:520;0873[C  ]| passionate temperaments like$4$ that$6#2$,
16:520;0874[C  ]| impetuous as Old Nick, are given to$4$ taking the law into their own hands
16:520;0875[C  ]| and give you your quietus doublequick with those poignards they carry in$4$
16:520;0876[C  ]| the abdomen. It comes from the great heat, climate generally. My wife is, so$5#2$
16:520;0877[C  ]| to$9$ speak, Spanish, half that$6#2$ is. Point of fact she could actually claim
16:520;0878[C  ]| Spanish nationality if she wanted, having been born in$4$ (technically) Spain,
16:520;0879[C  ]| i%e% Gibraltar. She has the Spanish type. Quite dark, regular brunette, black.
16:520;0880[C  ]| I for$4$ one certainly believe climate accounts for$4$ character. That$6#2$ is why I
16:520;0881[C  ]| asked you if you wrote your poetry in$4$ Italian.
16:521;0882[B  ]| ~~ The temperaments at the door,
16:521;0882['  ]| Stephen interposed with,
16:521;0882[B  ]| were very
16:521;0883[B  ]| passionate about ten shillings. \Roberto ruba roba sua.\
16:521;0884[C  ]| ~~ Quite so$5#2$,
16:521;0884['  ]| Mr*Bloom dittoed.
16:521;0885[B  ]| ~~ Then,
16:521;0885['  ]| Stephen said staring and rambling on$5$ to$4$ himself or some unknown
16:521;0886['  ]| listener somewhere,
16:521;0886[B  ]| we have the impetuosity of Dante and the isosceles
16:521;0887[B  ]| triangle miss*Portinari he fell in$4$ love with and Leonardo and 
16:521;0888[B  ]| san*Tommaso*Mastino.
16:521;0889[C  ]| ~~ It is in$4$ the blood,
16:521;0889['  ]| Mr*Bloom acceded at once.
16:521;0889[C  ]| All are washed in$4$ the blood
16:521;0890[C  ]| of the sun. Coincidence I just happened to$9$ be in$4$ the Kildare*street museum
16:521;0891[C  ]| today, shortly prior to$4$ our meeting if I can so$5#2$ call it, and I was just looking
16:521;0892[C  ]| at those antique statues there. The splendid proportions of hips, bosom.
16:521;0893[C  ]| You simply do not knock against those kind of women here. An exception
16:521;0894[C  ]| here and there. Handsome yes, pretty in$4$ a way you find but what I am
16:521;0895[C  ]| talking about is the female form. Besides they have so$5#1$ little taste in$4$ dress,
16:521;0896[C  ]| most of them, which$6#1$ greatly enhances a woman's natural beauty, no$2$ matter
16:521;0897[C  ]| what you say. Rumpled stockings, it may be, possibly is, a foible of mine but
16:521;0898[C  ]| still it is a thing I simply hate to$9$ see.
16:521;0899['  ]| Interest, however, was starting to$9$ flag somewhat all round and then
16:521;0900['  ]| the others got on$5$ to$4$ talking about accidents at sea, ships lost in$4$ a fog,
16:521;0901['  ]| collisions with icebergs, all that$6#2$ sort of thing. Shipahoy of course had his
16:521;0902['  ]| own say to$9$ say. He had doubled the cape a few odd times and weathered a
16:521;0903['  ]| monsoon, a kind of wind, in$4$ the China seas and through all those perils of
16:521;0904['  ]| the deep there was one thing, he declared, stood to$4$ him or words to$4$ that$6#2$
16:521;0905['  ]| effect, a pious medal he had that$6#1$ saved him.
16:521;0906['  ]| So$3$ then after that$6#2$ they drifted on$5$ to$4$ the wreck off Daunt's*rock, wreck
16:521;0907['  ]| of that$6#2$ illfated Norwegian barque nobody could think of her name for$4$ the
16:521;0908['  ]| moment till the jarvey who$6#1$ had really quite a look of Henry*Campbell
16:521;0909['  ]| remembered it \Palme\ on$4$ Booterstown strand. That$6#2$ was the talk of the town
16:521;0910['  ]| that$6#2$ year (Albert*William*Quill wrote a fine piece of original verse of
16:521;0911['  ]| distinctive merit on$4$ the topic for$4$ the \Irish*Times\), breakers running over
16:521;0912['  ]| her and crowds and crowds on$4$ the shore in$4$ commotion petrified with
16:521;0913['  ]| horror. Then someone said something about the case of the s%*s% \Lady*Cairns\ 
16:521;0914['  ]| of Swansea run into by$4$ the \Mona\ which$6#1$ was on$4$ an opposite tack in$4$
16:521;0915['  ]| rather muggyish weather and lost with all hands on$4$ deck. No$2$ aid was given.
16:521;0916['  ]| Her master, the \Mona\'s, said he was afraid his collision bulkhead would
16:521;0917['  ]| give way. She had no$2$ water, it appears, in$4$ her hold.
16:521;0918['  ]| At this stage an incident happened. It having become necessary for$4$
16:521;0919['  ]| him to$9$ unfurl a reef the sailor vacated his seat.
16:521;0920[V  ]| ~~ Let me cross your bows mate,
16:521;0920['  ]| he said to$4$ his neighbour who$6#1$ was just
16:521;0921['  ]| gently dropping off into a peaceful doze.
16:521;0922['  ]| He made tracks heavily, slowly with a dumpy sort of a gait to$4$ the
16:521;0923['  ]| door, stepped heavily down the one step there was out of the shelter and
16:521;0924['  ]| bore due left. While he was in$4$ the act of getting his bearings Mr*Bloom who$6#1$
16:521;0925['  ]| noticed when he stood up$5$ that$3$ he had two flasks of presumably ship's rum
16:521;0926['  ]| sticking one out of each pocket for$4$ the private consumption of his burning
16:522;0927['  ]| interior, saw him produce a bottle and uncork it or unscrew and, applying
16:522;0928['  ]| its nozzle to$4$ his lips, take a good old delectable swig out of it with a
16:522;0929['  ]| gurgling noise. The irrepressible Bloom, who$6#1$ also had a shrewd suspicion
16:522;0930['  ]| that$3$ the old stager went out on$4$ a manoeuvre after the counterattraction in$4$
16:522;0931['  ]| the shape of a female who$6#1$ however had disappeared to$4$ all intents and
16:522;0932['  ]| purposes, could by$4$ straining just perceive him, when duly refreshed by$4$ his
16:522;0933['  ]| rum puncheon exploit, gaping up$5$ at the piers and girders of the Loop*line
16:522;0934['  ]| rather out of his depth as of course it was all radically altered since his last
16:522;0935['  ]| visit and greatly improved. Some person or persons invisible directed him to$4$
16:522;0936['  ]| the male urinal erected by$4$ the cleansing committee all over the place for$4$ the
16:522;0937['  ]| purpose but after a brief space of time during which$6#1$ silence reigned
16:522;0938['  ]| supreme the sailor, evidently giving it a wide berth, eased himself closer at
16:522;0939['  ]| hand, the noise of his bilgewater some little time subsequently splashing on$4$
16:522;0940['  ]| the ground where it apparently awoke a horse of the cabrank. A hoof
16:522;0941['  ]| scooped anyway for$4$ new foothold after sleep and harness jingled. Slightly
16:522;0942['  ]| disturbed in$4$ his sentrybox by$4$ the brazier of live coke the watcher of the
16:522;0943['  ]| corporation stones who$6#1$, though now broken down and fast breaking up$5$,
16:522;0944['  ]| was none other in$4$ stern reality than the Gumley aforesaid, now practically
16:522;0945['  ]| on$4$ the parish rates, given the temporary job by$4$ Pat*Tobin in$4$ all human
16:522;0946['  ]| probability from dictates of humanity knowing him before shifted about
16:522;0947['  ]| and shuffled in$4$ his box before composing his limbs again in$5$ to$4$ the arms of
16:522;0948['  ]| Morpheus, a truly amazing piece of hard lines in$4$ its most virulent form on$4$ a
16:522;0949['  ]| fellow most respectably connected and familiarised with decent home
16:522;0950['  ]| comforts all his life who$6#1$ came in$5$ for$4$ 
16:522;0950['  ]| a cool &%ps100 a year at one time which$6#1$ of
16:522;0951['  ]| course the doublebarrelled ass proceeded to$9$ make general ducks and drakes
16:522;0952['  ]| of. And there he was at the end of his tether after having often painted the
16:522;0953['  ]| town tolerably pink without a beggarly stiver. He drank needless to$9$ be told
16:522;0954['  ]| and it pointed only once more a moral when he might quite easily be in$4$ a
16:522;0955['  ]| large way of business if  ~~  a big if, however  ~~  he had contrived to$9$ cure
16:522;0956['  ]| himself of his particular partiality.
16:522;0957['  ]| All meantime were loudly lamenting the falling off in$4$ Irish shipping,
16:522;0958['  ]| coastwise and foreign as well, which$6#1$ was all part and parcel of the same
16:522;0959['  ]| thing. A Palgrave*Murphy boat was put off the ways at Alexandra*basin, the
16:522;0960['  ]| only launch that$6#2$ year. Right enough the harbours were there only no$2$ ships
16:522;0961['  ]| ever called.
16:522;0962[V  ]| There were wrecks and wreckers,
16:522;0962['  ]| the keeper said, who$6#1$ was evidently
16:522;0963['  ]| \au fait\.
16:522;0964['  ]| What he wanted to$9$ ascertain was why that$6#2$ ship ran bang against the
16:522;0965['  ]| only rock in$4$ Galway*bay when the Galway harbour scheme was mooted by$4$
16:522;0966['  ]| a Mr*Worthington or some name like$4$ that$6#2$, eh?
16:522;0966[V  ]| Ask the then captain,
16:522;0966['  ]| he
16:522;0967['  ]| advised them,
16:522;0967[V  ]| how much palmoil the British government gave him for$4$ that$6#2$
16:522;0968[V  ]| day's work, Captain*John*Lever of the Lever*Line.
16:522;0969[V  ]| ~~ Am I right, skipper?
16:522;0969['  ]| he queried of the sailor, now returning after his
16:522;0970['  ]| private potation and the rest of his exertions.
16:523;0971['  ]| That$6#2$ worthy picking up$5$ the scent of the fagend of the song or words
16:523;0972['  ]| growled in$4$ wouldbe music but with great vim some kind of chanty or other
16:523;0973['  ]| in$4$ seconds or thirds. Mr*Bloom's sharp ears heard him then expectorate the
16:523;0974['  ]| plug probably (which$6#1$ it was), so$3$ that$3$ he must have lodged it for$4$ the time
16:523;0975['  ]| being in$4$ his fist while he did the drinking and making water jobs and found
16:523;0976['  ]| it a bit sour after the liquid fire in$4$ question. Anyhow in$5$ he rolled after his
16:523;0977['  ]| successful libation-cum-potation, introducing an atmosphere of drink into
16:523;0978['  ]| the \soire=e\, boisterously trolling, like$4$ a veritable son of a seacook:
16:523;0979[Z  ]| ~~ \The biscuits was as hard as brass\
16:523;0980[Z  ]| \And the beef as salt as Lot's wife's arse.\
16:523;0981[Z  ]| \O, Johnny*Lever!\
16:523;0982[Z  ]| \Johnny*Lever, O!\
16:523;0983['  ]| After which$6#1$ effusion the redoubtable specimen duly arrived on$4$ the
16:523;0984['  ]| scene and regaining his seat he sank rather than sat heavily on$4$ the form
16:523;0985['  ]| provided. Skin-the-Goat, assuming he was he, evidently with an axe to$9$
16:523;0986['  ]| grind, was airing his grievances in$4$ a forcible-feeble philippic anent the
16:523;0987['  ]| natural resources of Ireland or something of that$6#2$ sort which$6#1$ he described in$4$
16:523;0988['  ]| his lengthy dissertation as the richest country bar none on$4$ the face of God's
16:523;0989['  ]| earth, far and away superior to$4$ England, with coal in$4$ large quantities, six
16:523;0990['  ]| million pounds worth of pork exported every year, ten millions between
16:523;0991['  ]| butter and eggs and all the riches drained out of it by$4$ England levying taxes
16:523;0992['  ]| on$4$ the poor people that$6#1$ paid through the nose always and gobbling up$5$ the
16:523;0993['  ]| best meat in$4$ the market and a lot more surplus steam in$4$ the same vein. Their
16:523;0994['  ]| conversation accordingly became general and all agreed that$3$ that$6#2$ was a
16:523;0995['  ]| fact.
16:523;0995['  ]| You could grow any mortal thing in$4$ Irish soil,
16:523;0995['  ]| he stated,
16:523;0995['  ]| and there was
16:523;0996['  ]| that$6#2$ colonel*Everard down there in$4$ Navan growing tobacco. Where would
16:523;0997['  ]| you find anywhere the like$0$ of Irish bacon? But a day of reckoning,
16:523;0997['  ]| he stated
16:523;0998['  ]| \crescendo\ with no$2$ uncertain voice, thoroughly monopolising all the
16:523;0999['  ]| conversation,
16:523;0999['  ]| was in$4$ store for$4$ mighty England, despite her power of pelf on$4$
16:523;1000['  ]| account of her crimes. There would be a fall and the greatest fall in$4$ history.
16:523;1001['  ]| The Germans and the Japs were going to$9$ have their little lookin,
16:523;1001['  ]| he
16:523;1002['  ]| affirmed.
16:523;1002['  ]| The Boers were the beginning of the end. Brummagem England
16:523;1003['  ]| was toppling already and her downfall would be Ireland, her Achilles heel,
16:523;1004['  ]| which$6#1$ he explained to$4$ them about the vulnerable point of Achilles, the
16:523;1005['  ]| Greek hero, a point his auditors at once seized as he completely gripped
16:523;1006['  ]| their attention by$4$ showing the tendon referred to$5$ on$4$ his boot. His advice to$4$
16:523;1007['  ]| every Irishman was:
16:523;1007['  ]| stay in$4$ the land of your birth and work for$4$ Ireland
16:523;1008['  ]| and live for$4$ Ireland. Ireland, Parnell said, could not spare a single one of
16:523;1009['  ]| her sons.
16:523;1010['  ]| Silence all round marked the termination of his \finale\. The
16:523;1011['  ]| impervious navigator heard these lurid tidings, undismayed.
16:523;1012[V  ]| ~~ Take a bit of doing, boss,
16:523;1012['  ]| retaliated that$6#2$ rough diamond palpably a bit
16:523;1013['  ]| peeved in$4$ response to$4$ the foregoing truism.
16:523;1014['  ]| To$4$ which$6#1$ cold douche referring to$4$ downfall and so$5#2$ on$4$ the keeper
16:523;1015['  ]| concurred but nevertheless held to$4$ his main view.
16:524;1016[V  ]| ~~ Who$6#2$ is the best troops in$4$ the army?
16:524;1016['  ]| the grizzled old veteran irately
16:524;1017['  ]| interrogated.
16:524;1017[V  ]| And the best jumpers and racers? And the best admirals and
16:524;1018[V  ]| generals we have got? Tell me that$6#2$.
16:524;1019[V  ]| ~~ The Irish, for$4$ choice,
16:524;1019['  ]| retorted the cabby like$4$ Campbell, facial blemishes
16:524;1020['  ]| apart.
16:524;1021[V  ]| ~~ That$6#2$ is right,
16:524;1021['  ]| the old tarpaulin corroborated.
16:524;1021[V  ]| The Irish catholic peasant.
16:524;1022[V  ]| He is the backbone of our empire. You know Jem*Mullins?
16:524;1023['XX]| While allowing him his individual opinions as everyman
16:524;1023['  ]| the keeper
16:524;1024['  ]| added
16:524;1024['XX]| he cared nothing for$4$ any empire, ours or his, and considered no$2$
16:524;1025['XX]| Irishman worthy of his salt that$6#1$ served it.
16:524;1025['  ]| Then they began to$9$ have a few
16:524;1026['  ]| irascible words when it waxed hotter, both, needless to$9$ say, appealing to$4$ the
16:524;1027['  ]| listeners who$6#1$ followed the passage of arms with interest so$5#1$ long as they
16:524;1028['  ]| did not indulge in$4$ recriminations and come to$4$ blows.
16:524;1029['  ]| From inside information extending over a series of years Mr*Bloom
16:524;1030['  ]| was rather inclined to$9$ poohpooh the suggestion as egregious balderdash
16:524;1031['  ]| for$3$, pending that$6#2$ consummation devoutly to$9$ be or not to$9$ be wished for$4$, he
16:524;1032['  ]| was fully cognisant of the fact that$3$ their neighbours across the channel,
16:524;1033['  ]| unless they were much bigger fools than he took them for$4$, rather concealed
16:524;1034['  ]| their strength than the opposite. It was quite on$4$ a par with the quixotic idea
16:524;1035['  ]| in$4$ certain quarters that$3$ in$4$ a hundred million years the coal seam of the sister
16:524;1036['  ]| island would be played out and if, as time went on$5$, that$6#2$ turned out to$9$ be
16:524;1037['  ]| how the cat jumped all he could personally say on$4$ the matter was that$3$ as a
16:524;1038['  ]| host of contingencies, equally relevant to$4$ the issue, might occur ere then it
16:524;1039['  ]| was highly advisable in$4$ the interim to$9$ try to$9$ make the most of both countries
16:524;1040['  ]| even though poles apart. Another little interesting point, the amours of
16:524;1041['  ]| whores and chummies, to$9$ put it in$4$ common parlance, reminded him Irish
16:524;1042['  ]| soldiers had as often fought for$4$ England as against her, more so$5#2$, in$4$ fact.
16:524;1043['  ]| And now, why? So$3$ the scene between the pair of them, the licensee of the
16:524;1044['  ]| place rumoured to$9$ be or have been Fitzharris, the famous invincible, and
16:524;1045['  ]| the other, obviously bogus, reminded him forcibly as being on$4$ all fours with
16:524;1046['  ]| the confidence trick, supposing, that$6#2$ is, it was prearranged as the lookeron,
16:524;1047['  ]| a student of the human soul if anything, the others seeing least of the game.
16:524;1048['  ]| And as for$4$ the lessee or keeper, who$6#1$ probably was not the other person at all,
16:524;1049['  ]| he (B%) could not help feeling and most properly
16:524;1049['  ]| it was better to$9$ give people
16:524;1050['  ]| like$4$ that$6#2$ the goby unless you were a blithering idiot altogether and refuse to$9$
16:524;1051['  ]| have anything to$9$ do with them as a golden rule in$4$ private life and their
16:524;1052['  ]| felonsetting, there always being the offchance of a Dannyman coming
16:524;1053['  ]| forward and turning queen's evidence or king's now like$4$ Denis or Peter*Carey, 
16:524;1054['  ]| an idea he utterly repudiated. Quite apart from that$6#2$ he disliked
16:524;1055['  ]| those careers of wrongdoing and crime on$4$ principle. Yet, though such
16:524;1056['  ]| criminal propensities had never been an inmate of his bosom in$4$ any shape
16:524;1057['  ]| or form, he certainly did feel and no$2$ denying it (while inwardly remaining
16:524;1058['  ]| what he was) a certain kind of admiration for$4$ a man who$6#1$ had actually
16:524;1059['  ]| brandished a knife, cold steel, with the courage of his political convictions
16:524;1060['  ]| (though, personally, he would never be a party to$4$ any such thing), off the
16:525;1061['  ]| same bat as those love vendettas of the south, have her or swing for$4$ her,
16:525;1062['  ]| when the husband frequently, after some words passed between the two
16:525;1063['  ]| concerning her relations with the other lucky mortal (he having had the
16:525;1064['  ]| pair watched), inflicted fatal injuries on$4$ his adored one as a result of an
16:525;1065['  ]| alternative postnuptial \liaison\ by$4$ plunging his knife into her, until it just
16:525;1066['  ]| struck him that$3$ Fitz, nicknamed Skin-the, merely drove the car for$4$ the
16:525;1067['  ]| actual perpetrators of the outrage and so$5#2$ was not, if he was reliably
16:525;1068['  ]| informed, actually party to$4$ the ambush which$6#1$, in$4$ point of fact, was the plea
16:525;1069['  ]| some legal luminary saved his skin on$5$. In$4$ any case that$6#2$ was very ancient
16:525;1070['  ]| history by$4$ now and as for$4$ our friend, the pseudo Skin-the-etcetera, he had
16:525;1071['  ]| transparently outlived his welcome. He ought to$9$ have either died naturally
16:525;1072['  ]| or on$4$ the scaffold high. Like$4$ actresses, always farewell positively last
16:525;1073['  ]| performance then come up$5$ smiling again. Generous to$4$ a fault of course,
16:525;1074['  ]| temperamental, no$2$ economising or any idea of the sort, always snapping at
16:525;1075['  ]| the bone for$4$ the shadow. So$5#1$ similarly he had a very shrewd suspicion that$3$
16:525;1076['  ]| Mr*Johnny*Lever got rid of some &%ps%*s%*d% in$4$ the course of his perambulations
16:525;1077['  ]| round the docks in$4$ the congenial atmosphere of the \Old*Ireland\ tavern,
16:525;1078['  ]| come back to$4$ Erin and so$5#2$ on$5$. Then as for$4$ the other he had heard not so$5#1$
16:525;1079['  ]| long before the same identical lingo as he told Stephen how he simply but
16:525;1080['  ]| effectually silenced the offender.
16:525;1081[C  ]| ~~ He took umbrage at something or other,
16:525;1081['  ]| that$6#1$ muchinjured but on$4$ the
16:525;1082['  ]| whole eventempered person declared,
16:525;1082[C  ]| I let slip. He called me a jew and in$4$ a
16:525;1083[C  ]| heated fashion offensively. So$3$ I without deviating from plain facts in$4$ the
16:525;1084[C  ]| least told him his God, I mean Christ, was a jew too and all his family like$1$
16:525;1085[C  ]| me though in$4$ reality I am not. That$6#2$ was one for$4$ him. A soft answer turns
16:525;1086[C  ]| away wrath. He had not a word to$9$ say for$4$ himself as everyone saw. Am I not
16:525;1087[C  ]| right?
16:525;1088['  ]| He turned a long you are wrong gaze on$4$ Stephen of timorous dark
16:525;1089['  ]| pride at the soft impeachment with a glance also of entreaty for$3$ he seemed
16:525;1090['  ]| to$9$ glean in$4$ a kind of a way that$6#1$ it was not all exactly.
16:525;1091[B  ]| ~~ \7Ex 7quibus\,
16:525;1091['  ]| Stephen mumbled in$4$ a noncommittal accent, their two or four
16:525;1092['  ]| eyes conversing,
16:525;1092[B  ]| \7Christus\ or Bloom his name is or after all any other,
16:525;1093[B  ]| \7secundum 7carnem\.
16:525;1094[C  ]| ~~ Of course,
16:525;1094['  ]| Mr*B% proceeded to$9$ stipulate,
16:525;1094[C  ]| you must look at both sides of
16:525;1095[C  ]| the question. It is hard  to$9$ lay down any hard and fast rules as to$4$ right and
16:525;1096[C  ]| wrong but room for$4$ improvement all round there certainly is though every
16:525;1097[C  ]| country, they say, our own distressful included, has the government it
16:525;1098[C  ]| deserves. But with a little goodwill all round. It is all very fine to$9$ boast of
16:525;1099[C  ]| mutual superiority but what about mutual equality. I resent violence and
16:525;1100[C  ]| intolerance in$4$ any shape or form. It never reaches anything or stops
16:525;1101[C  ]| anything. A revolution must come on$4$ the due instalments plan. It is a patent
16:525;1102[C  ]| absurdity on$4$ the face of it to$9$ hate people because they live round the corner
16:525;1103[C  ]| and speak another vernacular, in$4$ the next house so$5#2$ to$9$ speak.
16:525;1104[B  ]| ~~ Memorable bloody bridge battle and seven minutes' war,
16:525;1104['  ]| Stephen
16:525;1105['  ]| assented,
16:525;1105[B  ]| between Skinner's*alley and Ormond*market.
16:526;1106[C  ]| Yes,
16:526;1106['  ]| Mr*Bloom thoroughly agreed, entirely endorsing the remark,
16:526;1106[C  ]| that$6#1$
16:526;1107[C  ]| was overwhelmingly right. And the whole world was full of that$6#2$ sort of
16:526;1108[C  ]| thing.
16:526;1109[C  ]| ~~ You just took the words out of my mouth,
16:526;1109['  ]| he said.
16:526;1109[C  ]| A hocuspocus of
16:526;1110[C  ]| conflicting evidence that$6#1$ candidly you could not remotely ~
16:526;1111['  ]| All those wretched quarrels, in$4$ his humble opinion, stirring up$5$ bad
16:526;1112['  ]| blood, from some bump of combativeness or gland of some kind,
16:526;1113['  ]| erroneously supposed to$9$ be about a punctilio of honour and a flag, were
16:526;1114['  ]| very largely a question of the money question which$6#1$ was at the back of
16:526;1115['  ]| everything greed and jealousy, people never knowing when to$9$ stop.
16:526;1116[C  ]| ~~ They accuse,
16:526;1116['  ]| remarked he audibly.
16:526;1117['  ]| He turned away from the others who$6#1$ probably and spoke nearer to$4$,
16:526;1118['  ]| so$3$ as the others in$4$ case they.
16:526;1119[C  ]| ~~ Jews,
16:526;1119['  ]| he softly imparted in$4$ an aside in$4$ Stephen's ear,
16:526;1119[C  ]| are accused of
16:526;1120[C  ]| ruining. Not a vestige of truth in$4$ it, I can safely say. History, would you be
16:526;1121[C  ]| surprised to$9$ learn, proves up$5$ to$4$ the hilt Spain decayed when the inquisition
16:526;1122[C  ]| hounded the jews out and England prospered when Cromwell, an
16:526;1123[C  ]| uncommonly able ruffian who$6#1$ in$4$ other respects has much to$9$ answer for$4$,
16:526;1124[C  ]| imported them. Why? Because they are imbued with the proper spirit. They
16:526;1125[C  ]| are practical and are proved to$9$ be so$5#2$. I do not want to$9$ indulge in$4$ any because
16:526;1126[C  ]| you know the standard works on$4$ the subject and then orthodox as you are.
16:526;1127[C  ]| But in$4$ the economic, not touching religion, domain the priest spells poverty.
16:526;1128[C  ]| Spain again, you saw in$4$ the war, compared with goahead America. Turks.
16:526;1129[C  ]| It is in$4$ the dogma. Because if they did not believe they would go straight to$4$ heaven
16:526;1130[C  ]| when they die they would try to$9$ live better, at least so$5#2$ I think. That$6#2$ is the juggle
16:526;1131[C  ]| on$4$ which$6#1$ the p%p's raise the wind on$4$ false pretences. I am,
16:526;1131['  ]| he resumed with
16:526;1132['  ]| dramatic force,
16:526;1132[C  ]| as good an Irishman as that$6#2$ rude person I told you about at
16:526;1133[C  ]| the outset and I want to$9$ see everyone, 
16:526;1133['  ]| concluded he, 
16:526;1133[C  ]| all creeds and classes
16:526;1134[C  ]| \pro rata\ having a comfortable tidysized income, in$4$ no$2$ niggard fashion
16:526;1135[C  ]| either, something in$4$ the neighbourhood of &%ps300 per annum. That$6#2$ is the vital
16:526;1136[C  ]| issue at stake and it is feasible and would be provocative of friendlier
16:526;1137[C  ]| intercourse between man and man. At least that$6#2$ is my idea for$4$ what it is
16:526;1138[C  ]| worth. I call that$6#2$ patriotism. \Ubi patria\, as we learned a smattering of in$4$
16:526;1139[C  ]| our classical days in$4$ \Alma Mater\, \vita bene\. Where you can live well, the
16:526;1140[C  ]| sense is, if you work.
16:526;1141['  ]| Over his untastable apology for$4$ a cup of coffee, listening to$4$ this
16:526;1142['  ]| synopsis of things in$4$ general, Stephen stared at nothing in$4$ particular. He
16:526;1143['  ]| could hear, of course, all kinds of words changing colour like$4$ those crabs
16:526;1144['  ]| about Ringsend in$4$ the morning burrowing quickly into all colours of
16:526;1145['  ]| different sorts of the same sand where they had a home somewhere beneath
16:526;1146['  ]| or seemed to$9$. Then he looked up$5$ and saw the eyes that$6#1$ said or did not say the
16:526;1147['  ]| words the voice he heard said, if you work.
16:526;1148[B  ]| ~~ Count me out,
16:526;1148['  ]| he managed to$9$ remark, meaning work.
16:526;1149['  ]| The eyes were surprised at this observation because as he, the person
16:526;1150['  ]| who$6#1$ owned them pro tem. observed or rather his voice speaking did,
16:526;1150[C  ]| all
16:526;1151[C  ]| must work, have to$9$, together.
16:527;1152[C  ]| ~~ I mean, of course,
16:527;1152['  ]| the other hastened to$9$ affirm,
16:527;1152[C  ]| work in$4$ the widest
16:527;1153[C  ]| possible sense. Also literary labour not merely for$4$ the kudos of the thing.
16:527;1154[C  ]| Writing for$4$ the newspapers which$6#1$ is the readiest channel nowadays. That$6#2$ is
16:527;1155[C  ]| work too. Important work. After all, from the little I know of you, after all
16:527;1156[C  ]| the money expended on$4$ your education you are entitled to$9$ recoup yourself
16:527;1157[C  ]| and command your price. You have every bit as much right to$9$ live by$4$ your
16:527;1158[C  ]| pen in$4$ pursuit of your philosophy as the peasant has. What? You both
16:527;1159[C  ]| belong to$4$ Ireland, the brain and the brawn. Each is equally important.
16:527;1160[B  ]| ~~ You suspect,
16:527;1160['  ]| Stephen retorted with a sort of a half laugh,
16:527;1160[B  ]| that$3$ I may be
16:527;1161[B  ]| important because I belong to$4$ the \faubourg*Saint*Patrice\ called Ireland for$4$
16:527;1162[B  ]| short.
16:527;1163[C  ]| ~~ I would go a step farther,
16:527;1163['  ]| Mr*Bloom insinuated.
16:527;1164[B  ]| ~~ But I suspect,
16:527;1164['  ]| Stephen interrupted,
16:527;1164[B  ]| that$3$ Ireland must be important
16:527;1165[B  ]| because it belongs to$4$ me.
16:527;1166[C  ]| ~~ What belongs,
16:527;1166['  ]| queried Mr*Bloom bending, fancying he was perhaps
16:527;1167['  ]| under some misapprehension.
16:527;1167[C  ]| Excuse me. Unfortunately, I did not catch the
16:527;1168[C  ]| latter portion. What was it you ~ ?
16:527;1169['  ]| Stephen, patently crosstempered, repeated and shoved aside his mug
16:527;1170['  ]| of coffee or whatever you like$1$ to$9$ call it none too politely, adding:
16:527;1171[B  ]| ~~ We can not change the country. Let us change the subject.
16:527;1172['  ]| At this pertinent suggestion Mr*Bloom, to$9$ change the subject, looked
16:527;1173['  ]| down but in$4$ a quandary, as he could not tell exactly what construction to$9$ put
16:527;1174['  ]| on$5$ belongs to$4$ which$6#1$ sounded rather a far cry. The rebuke of some kind was
16:527;1175['  ]| clearer than the other part. Needless to$9$ say the fumes of his recent orgy
16:527;1176['  ]| spoke then with some asperity in$4$ a curious bitter way foreign to$4$ his sober
16:527;1177['  ]| state. Probably the homelife to$4$ which$6#1$ Mr*B attached the utmost importance
16:527;1178['  ]| had not been all that$6#1$ was needful or he had not been familiarised with the
16:527;1179['  ]| right sort of people. With a touch of fear for$4$ the young man beside him
16:527;1180['  ]| whom he furtively scrutinised with an air of some consternation
16:527;1181['  ]| remembering he had just come back from Paris, the eyes more especially
16:527;1182['  ]| reminding him forcibly of father and sister, failing to$9$ throw much light on$4$
16:527;1183['  ]| the subject, however, he brought to$4$ mind instances of
16:527;1183['ca]| cultured fellows that$6#1$
16:527;1184['ca]| promised so$5#1$ brilliantly nipped in$4$ the bud of premature decay and nobody to$9$
16:527;1185['ca]| blame but themselves. For$4$ instance there was the case of O'Callaghan, for$4$
16:527;1186['ca]| one, the halfcrazy faddist, respectably connected though of inadequate
16:527;1187['ca]| means, with his mad vagaries among whose other gay doings when rotto
16:527;1188['ca]| and making himself a nuisance to$4$ everybody all round he was in$4$ the habit
16:527;1189['ca]| of ostentatiously sporting in$4$ public a suit of brown paper (a fact). And then
16:527;1190['ca]| the usual \de=nouement\ after the fun had gone on$5$ fast and furious he got
16:527;1191['ca]| landed into hot water and had to$9$ be spirited away by$4$ a few friends, after a
16:527;1192['ca]| strong hint to$4$ a blind horse from John*Mallon of Lower*Castle*Yard, so$3$ as
16:527;1193['ca]| not to$9$ be made amenable under section two of the criminal law amendment
16:527;1194['ca]| act, certain names of those subpo*enaed being handed in$5$ but not divulged for$4$
16:527;1195['ca]| reasons which$6#1$ will$1$ occur to$4$ anyone with a pick of brains. Briefly, putting
16:527;1196['ca]| two and two together, six sixteen which$6#1$ he pointedly turned a deaf ear to$4$,
16:528;1197['ca]| Antonio and so$5#2$ forth, jockeys and esthetes and the tattoo which$6#1$ was all the
16:528;1198['ca]| go in$4$ the seventies or thereabouts even in$4$ the house*of*lords because early in$4$
16:528;1199['ca]| life the occupant of the throne, then heir apparent, the other members of the
16:528;1200['ca]| upper ten and other high personages simply following in$4$ the footsteps of the
16:528;1201['ca]| head of the state, he reflected about the errors of notorieties and crowned
16:528;1202['ca]| heads running counter to$4$ morality such as the Cornwall case a number of
16:528;1203['ca]| years before under their veneer in$4$ a way scarcely intended by$4$ nature, a
16:528;1204['ca]| thing good Mrs*Grundy, as the law stands, was terribly down on$5$ though
16:528;1205['ca]| not for$4$ the reason they thought they were probably whatever it was except
16:528;1206['ca]| women chiefly who$6#1$ were always fiddling more or less at one another it
16:528;1207['ca]| being largely a matter of dress and all the rest of it. Ladies who$6#1$ like$1$

16:530;1296[B  ]| ~~ Who$6#2$?
16:530;1296['  ]| the other, whose hand by$4$ the way was hurt, said.
16:530;1297['  ]| One morning you would open the paper, the cabman affirmed, and
16:530;1298['  ]| read: \Return of Parnell\. He bet them what they liked. A Dublin fusilier was
16:530;1299['  ]| in$4$ that$6#2$ shelter one night and said he saw him in$4$ South*Africa. Pride it was
16:530;1300['  ]| killed him. He ought to$9$ have done away with himself or lain low for$4$ a time
16:530;1301['  ]| after committee room no*15 until he was his old self again with no-one to$9$
16:530;1302['  ]| point a finger at him. Then they would all to$4$ a man have gone down on$4$
16:530;1303['  ]| their marrowbones to$4$ him to$9$ come back when he had recovered his senses.
16:530;1304['  ]| Dead he was not. Simply absconded somewhere. The coffin they brought
16:530;1305['  ]| over was full of stones. He changed his name to$4$ De*Wet, the Boer general.
16:530;1306['  ]| He made a mistake to$9$ fight the priests. And so$5#2$ forth and so$5#2$ on$5$.
16:530;1307['  ]| All the same Bloom (properly so$5#2$ dubbed) was rather surprised at their
16:530;1308['  ]| memories
16:530;1308['ca]| for$3$ in$4$ nine cases out of ten it was a case of tarbarrels and not
16:530;1309['ca]| singly but in$4$ their thousands and then complete oblivion because it was
16:530;1310['ca]| twenty odd years. Highly unlikely of course there was even a shadow of
16:530;1311['ca]| truth in$4$ the stones and, even supposing, he thought a return highly
16:530;1312['ca]| inadvisable, all things considered. Something evidently riled them in$4$ his
16:530;1313['ca]| death. Either he petered out too tamely of acute pneumonia just when his
16:530;1314['ca]| various different political arrangements were nearing completion or
16:530;1315['ca]| whether it transpired he owed his death to$4$ his having neglected to$9$ change
16:530;1316['ca]| his boots and clothes after a wetting when a cold resulted and failing to$9$
16:530;1317['ca]| consult a specialist he being confined to$4$ his room till he eventually died of it
16:530;1318['ca]| amid widespread regret before a fortnight was at an end or quite possibly
16:530;1319['ca]| they were distressed to$9$ find the job was taken out of their hands. Of course
16:530;1320['ca]| nobody being acquainted with his movements even before there was
16:530;1321['ca]| absolutely no$2$ clue as to$4$ his whereabouts which$6#1$ were decidedly of the \Alice,\
16:530;1322['ca]| \where art thou\ order even prior to$4$ his starting to$9$ go under several aliases
16:530;1323['ca]| such as Fox and Stewart so$3$ the remark which$6#1$ emanated from friend cabby
16:530;1324['ca]| might be within the bounds of possibility. Naturally then it would prey on$4$
16:530;1325['ca]| his mind as a born leader of men which$6#1$ undoubtedly he was and a
16:530;1326['ca]| commanding figure, a sixfooter or at any rate five feet ten or eleven in$4$ his
16:530;1327['ca]| stockinged feet, whereas Messrs*So*and*So who$6#1$, though they were not even a
16:530;1328['ca]| patch on$4$ the former man, ruled the roost after their redeeming features
16:530;1329['ca]| were very few and far between. It certainly pointed a moral, the idol with
16:530;1330['ca]| feet of clay, and then seventytwo of his trusty henchmen rounding on$4$ him
16:530;1331['ca]| with mutual mudslinging. And the identical same with murderers. You had
16:531;1332['ca]| to$9$ come back. That$6#2$ haunting sense kind of drew you. To$9$ show the
16:531;1333['ca]| understudy in$4$ the title role how to$9$. He saw him once on$4$ the auspicious
16:531;1334['ca]| occasion when they broke up$5$ the type in$4$ the \Insuppressible\ or was it \United*Ireland\, 
16:531;1335['ca]| a privilege he keenly appreciated, and, in$4$ point of fact, handed him
16:531;1336['ca]| his silk hat when it was knocked off and he said 
16:531;1336[Z  ]| \Thank you\,
16:531;1336['ca]| excited as he
16:531;1337['ca]| undoubtedly was under his frigid exterior notwithstanding the little
16:531;1338['ca]| misadventure mentioned between the cup and the lip: what is bred in$4$ the
16:531;1339['ca]| bone. Still as regards return. You were a lucky dog if they did not set the
16:531;1340['ca]| terrier at you directly you got back. Then a lot of shillyshally usually
16:531;1341['ca]| followed, Tom for$4$ and Dick and Harry against. And then, number one, you
16:531;1342['ca]| came up$5$ against the man in$4$ possession and had to$9$ produce your credentials
16:531;1343['ca]| like$4$ the claimant in$4$ the Tichborne case, Roger*Charles*Tichborne, \Bella\
16:531;1344['ca]| was the boat's name to$4$ the best of his recollection he, the heir, went down in$5$
16:531;1345['ca]| as the evidence went to$9$ show and there was a tattoo mark too in$4$ Indian ink,
16:531;1346['ca]| lord*Bellew was it, as he might very easily have picked up$5$ the details from
16:531;1347['ca]| some pal on$4$ board ship and then, when got up$5$ to$9$ tally with the description
16:531;1348['ca]| given, introduce himself with: \Excuse me, my name is So*and*So\ or some
16:531;1349['ca]| such commonplace remark.
16:531;1349[C  ]| A more prudent course,
16:531;1349['  ]| as Bloom said to$4$ the
16:531;1350['  ]| not over effusive, in$4$ fact like$4$ the distinguished personage under discussion
16:531;1351['  ]| beside him,
16:531;1351['  ]| would have been to$9$ sound the lie of the land first.
16:531;1352[V  ]| ~~ That$6#2$ bitch, that$6#2$ English whore, did for$4$ him,
16:531;1352['  ]| the shebeen proprietor
16:531;1353['  ]| commented.
16:531;1353[V  ]| She put the first nail in$4$ his coffin.
16:531;1354[V  ]| ~~ Fine lump of a woman all the same,
16:531;1354['  ]| the \soi-disant\ townclerk Henry*Campbell 
16:531;1355['  ]| remarked,
16:531;1355[V  ]| and plenty of her. She loosened many a man's thighs. I
16:531;1356[V  ]| seen her picture in$4$ a barber's. The husband was a captain or an officer.
16:531;1357[V  ]| ~~ Ay,
16:531;1357['  ]| Skin-the-Goat amusingly added,
16:531;1357[V  ]| he was and a cottonball one.
16:531;1358['  ]| This gratuitous contribution of a humorous character occasioned a
16:531;1359['  ]| fair amount of laughter among his \entourage\. As regards Bloom he,
16:531;1360['  ]| without the faintest suspicion of a smile, merely gazed in$4$ the direction of the
16:531;1361['  ]| door and reflected upon$4$ the historic story 
16:531;1361['ca]| which$6#1$ had aroused extraordinary
16:531;1362['ca]| interest at the time when the facts, to$9$ make matters worse, were made public
16:531;1363['ca]| with the usual affectionate letters that$6#1$ passed between them full of sweet
16:531;1364['ca]| nothings. First it was strictly Platonic till nature intervened and an
16:531;1365['ca]| attachment sprang up$5$ between them till bit by$4$ bit matters came to$4$ a climax
16:531;1366['ca]| and the matter became the talk of the town till the staggering blow came as
16:531;1367['ca]| a welcome intelligence to$4$ not a few evildisposed, however, who$6#1$ were
16:531;1368['ca]| resolved upon$5$ encompassing his downfall though the thing was public
16:531;1369['ca]| property all along though not to$4$ anything like$4$ the sensational extent that$6#1$ it
16:531;1370['ca]| subsequently blossomed into. Since their names were coupled, though, since
16:531;1371['ca]| he was her declared favourite, where was the particular necessity to$9$
16:531;1372['ca]| proclaim it to$4$ the rank and file from the housetops, the fact, namely, that$3$ he
16:531;1373['ca]| had shared her bedroom which$6#1$ came out in$4$ the witnessbox on$4$ oath when a
16:531;1374['ca]| thrill went through the packed court literally electrifying everybody in$4$ the
16:531;1375['ca]| shape of witnesses swearing to$9$ having witnessed him on$4$ such and such a
16:531;1376['ca]| particular date in$4$ the act of scrambling out of an upstairs apartment with
16:532;1377['ca]| the assistance of a ladder in$4$ night apparel, having gained admittance in$4$ the
16:532;1378['ca]| same fashion, a fact the weeklies, addicted to$4$ the lubric a little, simply
16:532;1379['ca]| coined shoals of money out of. Whereas the simple fact of the case was it
16:532;1380['ca]| was simply a case of the husband not being up$5$ to$4$ the scratch, with nothing
16:532;1381['ca]| in$4$ common between them beyond the name, and then a real man arriving on$4$
16:532;1382['ca]| the scene, strong to$4$ the verge of weakness, falling a victim to$4$ her siren
16:532;1383['ca]| charms and forgetting home ties, the usual sequel, to$9$ bask in$4$ the loved one's
16:532;1384['ca]| smiles. The eternal question of the life connubial, needless to$9$ say, cropped
16:532;1385['ca]| up$5$. Can real love, supposing there happens to$9$ be another chap in$4$ the case,
16:532;1386['ca]| exist between married folk? Poser. Though it was no$2$ concern of theirs
16:532;1387['ca]| absolutely if he regarded her with affection, carried away by$4$ a wave of
16:532;1388['ca]| folly. A magnificent specimen of manhood he was truly augmented
16:532;1389['ca]| obviously by$4$ gifts of a high order, as compared with the other military
16:532;1390['ca]| supernumerary that$6#2$ is (who$6#1$ was just the usual everyday \farewell, my\
16:532;1391['ca]| \gallant captain\ kind of an individual in$4$ the light dragoons, the 18#'t#'h hussars
16:532;1392['ca]| to$9$ be accurate) and inflammable doubtless (the fallen leader, that$6#2$ is, not the
16:532;1393['ca]| other) in$4$ his own peculiar way which$6#1$ she of course, woman, quickly
16:532;1394['ca]| perceived as highly likely to$9$ carve his way to$4$ fame which$6#1$ he almost bid fair
16:532;1395['ca]| to$9$ do till the priests and ministers of the gospel as a whole, his erstwhile
16:532;1396['ca]| staunch adherents, and his beloved evicted tenants for$4$ whom he had done
16:532;1397['ca]| yeoman service in$4$ the rural parts of the country by$4$ taking up$5$ the cudgels on$4$
16:532;1398['ca]| their behalf in$4$ a way that$6#1$ exceeded their most sanguine expectations, very
16:532;1399['ca]| effectually cooked his matrimonial goose, thereby heaping coals of fire on$4$
16:532;1400['ca]| his head much in$4$ the same way as the fabled ass's kick. Looking back now
16:532;1401['ca]| in$4$ a retrospective kind of arrangement all seemed a kind of dream. And
16:532;1402['ca]| then coming back was the worst thing you ever did because it went without
16:532;1403['ca]| saying you would feel out of place as things always moved with the times.
16:532;1404['ca]| Why,
16:532;1404['  ]| as he reflected,
16:532;1404['ca]| Irishtown strand, a locality he had not been in$4$ for$4$
16:532;1405['ca]| quite a number of years looked different somehow since, as it happened, he
16:532;1406['ca]| went to$9$ reside on$4$ the north side. North or south, however, it was just the
16:532;1407['ca]| wellknown case of hot passion, pure and simple, upsetting the applecart
16:532;1408['ca]| with a vengeance and just bore out the very thing he was saying as she also
16:532;1409['ca]| was Spanish or half so$5#2$, types that$6#1$ would not do things by$4$ halves, passionate
16:532;1410['ca]| abandon of the south, casting every shred of decency to$4$ the winds.
16:532;1411[C  ]| ~~ Just bears out what I was saying,
16:532;1411['  ]| he, with glowing bosom said to$4$ Stephen,
16:532;1412[C  ]| about blood and the sun. And, if I do not greatly mistake she was Spanish
16:532;1413[C  ]| too.
16:532;1414[B  ]| ~~ The king of Spain's daughter,
16:532;1414['  ]| Stephen answered, adding something or
16:532;1415['  ]| other rather muddled about farewell and adieu to$4$ you Spanish onions and
16:532;1416['  ]| the first land called the Deadman and from Ramhead to$4$ Scilly was so$5#1$ and
16:532;1417['  ]| so$5#1$ many.
16:532;1418[C  ]| ~~ Was she?
16:532;1418['  ]| Bloom ejaculated, surprised though not astonished by$4$ any
16:532;1419['  ]| means,
16:532;1419[C  ]| I never heard that$6#2$ rumour before. Possible, especially there, it was
16:532;1420[C  ]| as she lived there. So$3$, Spain.
16:533;1421['  ]| Carefully avoiding a book in$4$ his pocket \Sweets*of\, which$6#1$ reminded
16:533;1422['  ]| him by*the*by of that$6#2$ Capel*street library book out of date, he took out his
16:533;1423['  ]| pocketbook and, turning over the various contents it contained rapidly
16:533;1424['  ]| finally he.
16:533;1425[C  ]| ~~ Do you consider, by*the*by,
16:533;1425['  ]| he said, thoughtfully selecting a faded photo
16:533;1426['  ]| which$6#1$ he laid on$4$ the table,
16:533;1426[C  ]| that$6#2$ a Spanish type?
16:533;1427['  ]| Stephen, obviously addressed, looked down on$4$ the photo showing a
16:533;1428['  ]| large sized lady with her fleshy charms on$4$ evidence in$4$ an open fashion as
16:533;1429['  ]| she was in$4$ the full bloom of womanhood in$4$ evening dress cut ostentatiously
16:533;1430['  ]| low for$4$ the occasion to$9$ give a liberal display of bosom, with more than
16:533;1431['  ]| vision of breasts, her full lips parted and some perfect teeth, standing near,
16:533;1432['  ]| ostensibly with gravity, a piano on$4$ the rest of which$6#1$ was \In*Old*Madrid\, a
16:533;1433['  ]| ballad, pretty in$4$ its way, which$6#1$ was then all the vogue. Her (the lady's) eyes,
16:533;1434['  ]| dark, large, looked at Stephen, about to$9$ smile about something to$9$ be
16:533;1435['  ]| admired, Lafayette of Westmoreland*street, Dublin's premier photographic
16:533;1436['  ]| artist, being responsible for$4$ the esthetic execution.
16:533;1437[C  ]| ~~ Mrs*Bloom, my wife the \prima donna\ Madam*Marion*Tweedy,
16:533;1437['  ]| Bloom
16:533;1438['  ]| indicated.
16:533;1438[C  ]| Taken a few years since. In$4$ or about ninety six. Very like$4$ her
16:533;1439[C  ]| then.
16:533;1440['  ]| Beside the young man he looked also at the photo of the lady now his
16:533;1441['  ]| legal wife who$6#1$, he intimated,
16:533;1441['cb]| was the accomplished daughter of Major*Brian*Tweedy 
16:533;1442['cb]| and displayed at an early age remarkable proficiency as a
16:533;1443['cb]| singer having even made her bow to$4$ the public when her years numbered
16:533;1444['cb]| barely sweet sixteen. As for$4$ the face it was a speaking likeness in$4$ expression
16:533;1445['cb]| but it did not do justice to$4$ her figure which$6#1$ came in$5$ for$4$ a lot of notice
16:533;1446['cb]| usually and which$6#1$ did not come out to$4$ the best advantage in$4$ that$6#2$ getup.
16:533;1446['cb]| She
16:533;1447['cb]| could without difficulty,
16:533;1447['cb]| he said,
16:533;1447['cb]| have posed for$4$ the ensemble, not to$9$ dwell
16:533;1448['cb]| on$4$ certain opulent curves of the.
16:533;1448['cb]| He dwelt, being a bit of an artist in$4$ his
16:533;1449['cb]| spare time, on$4$ the female form in$4$ general developmentally because, as it so$5#2$
16:533;1450['cb]| happened, no$2$ later than that$6#2$ afternoon he had seen those Grecian statues,
16:533;1451['cb]| perfectly developed as works of art, in$4$ the National*Museum. Marble could
16:533;1452['cb]| give the original, shoulders, back, all the symmetry, all the rest. Yes,
16:533;1453['cb]| puritanisme, it does though Saint*Joseph's sovereign thievery alors
16:533;1454['cb]| (Bandez!) Figne toi trop. Whereas no$2$ photo could because it simply was not
16:533;1455['cb]| art in$4$ a word.
16:533;1456['  ]| The spirit moving him he would much have liked to$9$ follow Jack*Tar's
16:533;1457['  ]| good example and leave the likeness there for$4$ a very few minutes to$9$ speak
16:533;1458['  ]| for$4$ itself on$4$ the plea he so$3$ that$3$ the other could drink in$4$ the beauty for$4$
16:533;1459['  ]| himself, her stage presence being, frankly, a treat in$4$ itself which$6#1$ the camera
16:533;1460['  ]| could not at all do justice to$4$. But it was scarcely professional etiquette so$5#2$.
16:533;1461['  ]| Though it was a warm pleasant sort of a night now yet wonderfully cool for$4$
16:533;1462['  ]| the season considering, for$4$ sunshine after storm. And he did feel a kind of
16:533;1463['  ]| need there and then to$9$ follow suit like$4$ a kind of inward voice and satisfy a
16:533;1464['  ]| possible need by$4$ moving a motion. Nevertheless he sat tight just viewing the
16:533;1465['  ]| slightly soiled photo creased by$4$ opulent curves, none the worse for$4$ wear
16:534;1466['  ]| however, and looked away thoughtfully with the intention of not further
16:534;1467['  ]| increasing the other's possible embarrassment while gauging her symmetry
16:534;1468['  ]| of heaving \embonpoint\. In$4$ fact the slight soiling was only an added charm
16:534;1469['  ]| like$4$ the case of linen slightly soiled, good as new, much better in$4$ fact with
16:534;1470['  ]| the starch out.
16:534;1470['XX]| Suppose she was gone when he? I looked for$4$ the lamp which$6#1$
16:534;1471['XX]| she told me came into his mind but merely as a passing fancy of his because
16:534;1472['XX]| he then recollected the morning littered bed etcetera and the book about
16:534;1473['XX]| Ruby with met him pike hoses (\sic\) in$4$ it which$6#1$ must have fell down
16:534;1474['XX]| sufficiently appropriately beside the domestic chamberpot with apologies to$4$
16:534;1475['XX]| Lindley*Murray.
16:534;1476['  ]| The vicinity of the young man he certainly relished,
16:534;1476['cb]| educated,
16:534;1477['cb]| \distingue=\ and impulsive into the bargain, far and away the pick of the
16:534;1478['cb]| bunch though you would not think he had it in$4$ him yet you would. Besides
16:534;1479['cb]| he said the picture was handsome which$6#1$, say what you like$1$, it was though at
16:534;1480['cb]| the moment she was distinctly stouter. And why not? An awful lot of
16:534;1481['cb]| makebelieve went on$5$ about that$6#2$ sort of thing involving a lifelong slur with
16:534;1482['cb]| the usual splash page of gutterpress about the same old matrimonial tangle
16:534;1483['cb]| alleging misconduct with professional golfer or the newest stage favourite
16:534;1484['cb]| instead of being honest and aboveboard about the whole business. How
16:534;1485['cb]| they were fated to$9$ meet and an attachment sprang up$5$ between the two so$3$
16:534;1486['cb]| that$3$ their names were coupled in$4$ the public eye was told in$4$ court with letters
16:534;1487['cb]| containing the habitual mushy and compromising expressions leaving no$2$
16:534;1488['cb]| loophole to$9$ show that$3$ they openly cohabited two or three times a week at
16:534;1489['cb]| some wellknown seaside hotel and relations, when the thing ran its normal
16:534;1490['cb]| course, became in$4$ due course intimate. Then the decree \nisi\ and the King's
16:534;1491['cb]| proctor tries to$9$ show cause why and, he failing to$9$ quash it, \nisi\ was made
16:534;1492['cb]| absolute. But as for$4$ that$6#2$ the two misdemeanants, wrapped up$5$ as they largely
16:534;1493['cb]| were in$4$ one another, could safely afford to$9$ ignore it as they very largely did
16:534;1494['cb]| till the matter was put in$4$ the hands of a solicitor who$6#1$ filed a petition for$4$ the
16:534;1495['cb]| party wronged in$4$ due course.
16:534;1495['  ]| He, B, enjoyed the distinction of being close
16:534;1496['  ]| to$4$ Erin's uncrowned king in$4$ the flesh when the thing occurred on$4$ the
16:534;1497['  ]| historic fracas when the fallen leader's, who$6#1$ notoriously stuck to$4$ his guns to$4$
16:534;1498['  ]| the last drop even when clothed in$4$ the mantle of adultery, (leader's) trusty
16:534;1499['  ]| henchmen to$4$ the number of ten or a dozen or possibly even more than that$6#2$
16:534;1500['  ]| penetrated into the printing works of the \Insuppressible\ or no$7$ it was \United*Ireland\ 
16:534;1501['  ]| (a by$4$ no$2$ means by*the*by appropriate appellative) and broke up$5$ the
16:534;1502['  ]| typecases with hammers or something like$4$ that$6#2$ all on$4$ account of some
16:534;1503['  ]| scurrilous effusions from the facile pens of the O'Brienite scribes at the
16:534;1504['  ]| usual mudslinging occupation reflecting on$4$ the erstwhile tribune's private
16:534;1505['  ]| morals. Though palpably a radically altered man he was still a commanding
16:534;1506['  ]| figure though carelessly garbed as usual with that$6#2$ look of settled purpose
16:534;1507['  ]| which$6#1$ went a long way with the shillyshallyers till they discovered to$4$ their
16:534;1508['  ]| vast discomfiture that$3$ their idol had feet of clay after placing him upon$4$ a
16:534;1509['  ]| pedestal which$6#1$ she, however, was the first to$9$ perceive. As those were
16:534;1510['  ]| particularly hot times in$4$ the general hullaballoo Bloom sustained a minor
16:535;1511['  ]| injury from a nasty prod of some chap's elbow in$4$ the crowd that$6#1$ of course
16:535;1512['  ]| congregated lodging some place about the pit of the stomach, fortunately
16:535;1513['  ]| not of a grave character. His hat (Parnell's) a silk one was inadvertently
16:535;1514['  ]| knocked off and, as a matter of strict history, Bloom was the man who$6#1$
16:535;1515['  ]| picked it up$5$ in$4$ the crush after witnessing the occurrence meaning to$9$ return
16:535;1516['  ]| it to$4$ him (and return it to$4$ him he did with the utmost celerity) who$6#1$ panting
16:535;1517['  ]| and hatless and whose thoughts were miles away from his hat at the time all
16:535;1518['  ]| the same being a gentleman born with a stake in$4$ the country he, as a matter
16:535;1519['  ]| of fact, having gone into it more for$4$ the kudos of the thing than anything
16:535;1520['  ]| else, what is bred in$4$ the bone instilled into him in$4$ infancy at his mother's
16:535;1521['  ]| knee in$4$ the shape of knowing what good form was came out at once
16:535;1522['  ]| because he turned round to$4$ the donor and thanked him with perfect
16:535;1523['  ]| \aplomb\, saying: 
16:535;1523[Z  ]| \Thank you, sir\,
16:535;1523['  ]| though in$4$ a very different tone of voice
16:535;1524['  ]| from the ornament of the legal profession whose headgear Bloom also set to$4$
16:535;1525['  ]| rights earlier in$4$ the course of the day, history repeating itself with a
16:535;1526['  ]| difference, after the burial of a mutual friend when they had left him alone
16:535;1527['  ]| in$4$ his glory after the grim task of having committed his remains to$4$ the
16:535;1528['  ]| grave.
16:535;1529['  ]| On$4$ the other hand what incensed him more inwardly was
16:535;1529['cb]| the blatant
16:535;1530['cb]| jokes of the cabman and so$5#2$ on$5$ who$6#1$ passed it all off as a jest, laughing
16:535;1531['cb]| immoderately, pretending to$9$ understand everything, the why and the
16:535;1532['cb]| wherefore, and in$4$ reality not knowing their own minds, it being a case for$4$
16:535;1533['cb]| the two parties themselves unless it ensued that$3$ the legitimate husband
16:535;1534['cb]| happened to$9$ be a party to$4$ it owing to$4$ some anonymous letter from the usual
16:535;1535['cb]| boy Jones, who$6#1$ happened to$9$ come across them at the crucial moment in$4$ a
16:535;1536['cb]| loving position locked in$4$ one another's arms, drawing attention to$4$ their
16:535;1537['cb]| illicit proceedings and leading up$5$ to$4$ a domestic rumpus and the erring fair
16:535;1538['cb]| one begging forgiveness of her lord and master upon$4$ her knees and
16:535;1539['cb]| promising to$9$ sever the connection and not receive his visits any more if only
16:535;1540['cb]| the aggrieved husband would overlook the matter and let bygones be
16:535;1541['cb]| bygones with tears in$4$ her eyes though possibly with her tongue in$4$ her fair
16:535;1542['cb]| cheek at the same time as quite possibly there were several others. He
16:535;1543['cb]| personally, being of a sceptical bias, believed and did not make the smallest
16:535;1544['cb]| bones about saying so$5#2$ either that$3$ man or men in$4$ the plural were always
16:535;1545['cb]| hanging around on$4$ the waiting list about a lady, even supposing she was the
16:535;1546['cb]| best wife in$4$ the world and they got on$5$ fairly well together for$4$ the sake of
16:535;1547['cb]| argument, when, neglecting her duties, she chose to$9$ be tired of wedded life
16:535;1548['cb]| and was on$5$ for$4$ a little flutter in$4$ polite debauchery to$9$ press their attentions
16:535;1549['cb]| on$4$ her with improper intent, the upshot being that$3$ her affections centred on$4$
16:535;1550['cb]| another, the cause of many \liaisons\ between still attractive married women
16:535;1551['cb]| getting on$5$ for$4$ fair and forty and younger men, no$2$ doubt as several famous
16:535;1552['cb]| cases of feminine infatuation proved up$5$ to$4$ the hilt.
16:535;1553['cb]| It was a thousand pities a young fellow, blessed with an allowance of
16:535;1554['cb]| brains as his neighbour obviously was, should waste his valuable time with
16:535;1555['cb]| profligate women who$6#1$ might present him with a nice dose to$9$ last him his
16:536;1556['cb]| lifetime. In$4$ the nature of single blessedness he would one day take unto
16:536;1557['cb]| himself a wife when Miss*Right came on$4$ the scene but in$4$ the interim ladies'
16:536;1558['cb]| society was a \conditio sine qua non\ though he had the gravest possible
16:536;1559['cb]| doubts, not that$3$ he wanted in$4$ the smallest to$9$ pump Stephen about Miss*Ferguson 
16:536;1560['cb]| (who$6#1$ was very possibly the particular lodestar who$6#1$ brought him
16:536;1561['cb]| down to$4$ Irishtown so$5#1$ early in$4$ the morning), as to$4$ whether he would find
16:536;1562['cb]| much satisfaction basking in$4$ the boy and girl courtship idea and the
16:536;1563['cb]| company of smirking misses without a penny to$4$ their names bi or triweekly
16:536;1564['cb]| with the orthodox preliminary canter of complimentplaying and walking
16:536;1565['cb]| out leading up$5$ to$4$ fond lovers' ways and flowers and chocs. To$9$ think of him
16:536;1566['cb]| house and homeless, rooked by$4$ some landlady worse than any stepmother,
16:536;1567['cb]| was really too bad at his age.
16:536;1567['XX]| The queer suddenly things he popped out with
16:536;1568['XX]| attracted the elder man who$6#1$ was several years the other's senior or like$4$ his
16:536;1569['XX]| father but something substantial he certainly ought to$9$ eat even were it only
16:536;1570['XX]| an eggflip made on$4$ unadulterated maternal nutriment or, failing that$6#2$, the
16:536;1571['XX]| homely Humpty*Dumpty boiled.
16:536;1572[C  ]| ~~ At what o'clock did you dine?
16:536;1572['  ]| he questioned of the slim form and tired
16:536;1573['  ]| though unwrinkled face.
16:536;1574[B  ]| ~~ Some time yesterday,
16:536;1574['  ]| Stephen said.
16:536;1575[C  ]| ~~ Yesterday!
16:536;1575['  ]| exclaimed Bloom till he remembered it was already tomorrow
16:536;1576['  ]| Friday.
16:536;1576[C  ]| Ah, you mean it is after twelve!
16:536;1577[B  ]| ~~ The day before yesterday,
16:536;1577['  ]| Stephen said, improving on$4$ himself.
16:536;1578['  ]| Literally astounded at this piece of intelligence Bloom reflected.
16:536;1579['cb]| Though they did not see eye to$4$ eye in$4$ everything a certain analogy there
16:536;1580['cb]| somehow was as if both their minds were travelling, so$5#2$ to$9$ speak, in$4$ the one
16:536;1581['cb]| train of thought. At his age when dabbling in$4$ politics roughly some score of
16:536;1582['cb]| years previously when he had been a \quasi\ aspirant to$4$ parliamentary
16:536;1583['cb]| honours in$4$ the Buckshot*Foster days he too recollected in$4$ retrospect (which$6#1$
16:536;1584['cb]| was a source of keen satisfaction in$4$ itself) he had a sneaking regard for$4$
16:536;1585['cb]| those same ultra ideas. For$4$ instance when the evicted tenants question, then
16:536;1586['cb]| at its first inception, bulked largely in$4$ people's mind though, it goes without
16:536;1587['cb]| saying, not contributing a copper or pinning his faith absolutely to$4$ its
16:536;1588['cb]| dictums, some of which$6#1$ would not exactly hold water, he at the outset in$4$
16:536;1589['cb]| principle at all events was in$4$ thorough sympathy with peasant possession as
16:536;1590['cb]| voicing the trend of modern opinion (a partiality, however, which$6#1$, realising
16:536;1591['cb]| his mistake, he was subsequently partially cured of) and even was twitted
16:536;1592['cb]| with going a step farther than Michael Davitt in$4$ the striking views he at one
16:536;1593['cb]| time inculcated as a backtothelander, which$6#1$ was one reason he strongly
16:536;1594['cb]| resented the innuendo put upon$4$ him in$4$ so$5#1$ barefaced a fashion by$4$ our friend
16:536;1595['cb]| at the gathering of the clans in$4$ Barney*Kiernan's so$3$ that$3$ he, though often
16:536;1596['cb]| considerably misunderstood and the least pugnacious of mortals, be it
16:536;1597['cb]| repeated, departed from his customary habit to$9$ give him (metaphorically)
16:536;1598['cb]| one in$4$ the gizzard though, so$5#1$ far as politics themselves were concerned, he
16:536;1599['cb]| was only too conscious of the casualties invariably resulting from
16:536;1600['cb]| propaganda and displays of mutual animosity and the misery and suffering
16:537;1601['cb]| it entailed as a foregone conclusion on$4$ fine young fellows, chiefly,
16:537;1602['cb]| destruction of the fittest, in$4$ a word.
16:537;1603['cb]| Anyhow upon$4$ weighing up$5$ the pros and cons, getting on$5$ for$4$ one, as it
16:537;1604['cb]| was, it was high time to$9$ be retiring for$4$ the night. The crux was it was a bit
16:537;1605['cb]| risky to$9$ bring him home as eventualities might possibly ensue (somebody
16:537;1606['cb]| having a temper of her own sometimes) and spoil the hash altogether as on$4$
16:537;1607['cb]| the night he misguidedly brought home a dog (breed unknown) with a lame
16:537;1608['cb]| paw (not that$3$ the cases were either identical or the reverse though he had
16:537;1609['cb]| hurt his hand too) to$4$ Ontario*Terrace as he very distinctly remembered,
16:537;1610['cb]| having been there, so$5#2$ to$9$ speak. On$4$ the other hand it was altogether far and
16:537;1611['cb]| away too late for$4$ the Sandymount or Sandycove suggestion so$3$ that$3$ he was
16:537;1612['cb]| in$4$ some perplexity as to$4$ which$6#1$ of the two alternatives. Everything pointed to$4$
16:537;1613['cb]| the fact that$3$ it behoved him to$9$ avail himself to$4$ the full of the opportunity, all
16:537;1614['cb]| things considered. His initial impression was he was a shade standoffish or
16:537;1615['cb]| not over effusive but it grew on$4$ him someway. For$4$ one thing he might not
16:537;1616['cb]| what you call jump at the idea, if approached, and what mostly worried him
16:537;1617['cb]| was he did not know how to$9$ lead up$5$ to$4$ it or word it exactly, supposing he did
16:537;1618['cb]| entertain the proposal, as it would afford him very great personal pleasure if
16:537;1619['cb]| he would allow him to$9$ help to$9$ put coin in$4$ his way or some wardrobe, if
16:537;1620['cb]| found suitable. At all events he wound up$5$ by$4$ concluding, eschewing for$4$ the
16:537;1621['cb]| nonce hidebound precedent, a cup of Epps's cocoa and a shakedown for$4$
16:537;1622['cb]| the night plus the use of a rug or two and overcoat doubled into a pillow at
16:537;1623['cb]| least he would be in$4$ safe hands and as warm as a toast on$4$ a trivet he failed
16:537;1624['cb]| to$9$ perceive any very vast amount of harm in$4$ that$6#2$ always with the proviso no$2$
16:537;1625['cb]| rumpus of any sort was kicked up$5$. A move had to$9$ be made because that$6#2$
16:537;1626['cb]| merry old soul, the grasswidower in$4$ question who$6#1$ appeared to$9$ be glued to$4$
16:537;1627['cb]| the spot, did not appear in$4$ any particular hurry to$9$ wend his way home to$4$ his
16:537;1628['cb]| dearly beloved Queenstown and it was highly likely some sponger's
16:537;1629['cb]| bawdyhouse of retired beauties where age was no$2$ bar off Sheriff*stree*lower 
16:537;1630['cb]| would be the best clue to$4$ that$6#2$ equivocal character's whereabouts for$4$ a
16:537;1631['cb]| few days to$9$ come, alternately racking their feelings (the mermaids') with
16:537;1632['cb]| sixchamber revolver anecdotes verging on$4$ the tropical calculated to$9$ freeze
16:537;1633['cb]| the marrow of anybody's bones and mauling their largesized charms
16:537;1634['cb]| betweenwhiles with rough and tumble gusto to$4$ the accompaniment of large
16:537;1635['cb]| potations of potheen and the usual blarney about himself for$3$ as to$4$ who$6#1$ he
16:537;1636['cb]| in$4$ reality was let x equal my right name and address, as Mr*Algebra
16:537;1637['cb]| remarks \passim\. At the same time he inwardly chuckled over his gentle
16:537;1638['cb]| repartee to$4$ the blood and ouns champion about his god being a jew. People
16:537;1639['cb]| could put up$5$ with being bitten by$4$ a wolf but what properly riled them was a
16:537;1640['cb]| bite from a sheep. The most vulnerable point too of tender Achilles. Your
16:537;1641['cb]| god was a jew. Because mostly they appeared to$9$ imagine he came from
16:537;1642['cb]| Carrick-on-Shannon or somewhereabouts in$4$ the county*Sligo.
16:537;1643[C  ]| ~~ I propose,
16:537;1643['  ]| our hero eventually suggested after mature reflection while
16:537;1644['  ]| prudently pocketing her photo,
16:537;1644[C  ]| as it is rather stuffy here you just come home
16:537;1645[C  ]| with me and talk things over. My diggings are quite close in$4$ the vicinity.
16:537;1646[C  ]| You can not drink that$6#2$ stuff. Do you like$1$ cocoa? Wait. I will$1$ just pay this lot.
16:538;1647['  ]| The best plan clearly being to$9$ clear out, the remainder being plain
16:538;1648['  ]| sailing, he beckoned, while prudently pocketing the photo, to$4$ the keeper of
16:538;1649['  ]| the shanty who$6#1$ did not seem to$9$.
16:538;1650[C  ]| ~~ Yes, that$6#2$ is the best,
16:538;1650['  ]| he assured Stephen to$4$ whom for$4$ the matter of that$6#2$
16:538;1651['  ]| Brazen*Head or him or anywhere else was all more or less.
16:538;1652['  ]| All kinds of Utopian plans were flashing through his (B's) busy brain,
16:538;1653['  ]| education (the genuine article), literature, journalism, prize titbits, up$5$ to$4$
16:538;1654['  ]| date billing, concert tours in$4$ English watering resorts packed with hydros
16:538;1655['  ]| and seaside theatres, turning money away, duets in$4$ Italian with the accent
16:538;1656['  ]| perfectly true to$4$ nature and a quantity of other things, no$2$ necessity, of
16:538;1657['  ]| course, to$9$ tell the world and his wife from the housetops about it, and a slice
16:538;1658['  ]| of luck. An opening was all was wanted.
16:538;1658['cb]| Because he more than suspected he
16:538;1659['cb]| had his father's voice to$9$ bank his hopes on$4$ which$6#1$ it was quite on$4$ the cards
16:538;1660['cb]| he had so$3$ it would be just as well, by$4$ the way no$2$ harm, to$9$ trail the
16:538;1661['cb]| conversation in$4$ the direction of that$6#2$ particular red herring just to$9$.
16:538;1662['  ]| The cabby read out of the paper he had got hold of that$3$ the former
16:538;1663['  ]| viceroy, earl*Cadogan, had presided at the cabdrivers' association dinner in$4$
16:538;1664['  ]| London somewhere. Silence with a yawn or two accompanied this thrilling
16:538;1665['  ]| announcement. Then the old specimen in$4$ the corner who$6#1$ appeared to$9$ have
16:538;1666['  ]| some spark of vitality left read out that$3$ sir*Anthony*MacDonnell had left
16:538;1667['  ]| Euston for$4$ the chief secretary's lodge or words to$4$ that$6#2$ effect. To$4$ which$6#1$
16:538;1668['  ]| absorbing piece of intelligence echo answered why.
16:538;1669[V  ]| ~~ Give us a squint at that$6#2$ literature, grandfather,
16:538;1669['  ]| the ancient mariner put in$5$,
16:538;1670['  ]| manifesting some natural impatience.
16:538;1671[V  ]| ~~ And welcome,
16:538;1671['  ]| answered the elderly party thus addressed.
16:538;1672['  ]| The sailor lugged out from a case he had a pair of greenish goggles
16:538;1673['  ]| which$6#1$ he very slowly hooked over his nose and both ears.
16:538;1674[V  ]| ~~ Are you bad in$4$ the eyes?
16:538;1674['  ]| the sympathetic personage like$4$ the townclerk
16:538;1675['  ]| queried.
16:538;1676[V  ]| ~~ Why,
16:538;1676['  ]| answered the seafarer with the tartan beard, who$6#1$ seemingly was a
16:538;1677['  ]| bit of a literary cove in$4$ his own small way, staring out of seagreen portholes
16:538;1678['  ]| as you might well describe them as,
16:538;1678[V  ]| I uses goggles reading. Sand in$4$ the Red*Sea 
16:538;1679[V  ]| done that$6#2$. One time I could read a book in$4$ the dark, manner of
16:538;1680[V  ]| speaking. \The*Arabian*Nights*Entertainment\ was my favourite and
16:538;1681[V  ]| \Red*as*a*Rose*is*She\.
16:538;1682['  ]| Hereupon he pawed the journal open and pored upon$4$ Lord only
16:538;1683['  ]| knows what, found drowned or the exploits of King*Willow, Iremonger
16:538;1684['  ]| having made a hundred and something second wicket not out for$4$ Notts,
16:538;1685['  ]| during which$6#1$ time (completely regardless of Ire) the keeper was intensely
16:538;1686['  ]| occupied loosening an apparently new or secondhand boot which$6#1$
16:538;1687['  ]| manifestly pinched him as he muttered against whoever it was sold it, all of
16:538;1688['  ]| them who$6#1$ were sufficiently awake enough to$9$ be picked out by$4$ their facial
16:538;1689['  ]| expressions, that$6#2$ is to$9$ say, either simply looking on$5$ glumly or passing a
16:538;1690['  ]| trivial remark.
16:539;1691['  ]| To$9$ cut a long story short Bloom, grasping the situation, was the first
16:539;1692['  ]| to$9$ rise from his seat so$3$ as not to$9$ outstay their welcome having first and
16:539;1693['  ]| foremost, being as good as his word that$3$ he would foot the bill for$4$ the
16:539;1694['  ]| occasion, taken the wise precaution to$9$ unobtrusively motion to$4$ mine host as
16:539;1695['  ]| a parting shot a scarcely perceptible sign when the others were not looking
16:539;1696['  ]| to$4$ the effect that$3$ the amount due was forthcoming, making a grand total of
16:539;1697['  ]| fourpence (the amount he deposited unobtrusively in$4$ four coppers, literally
16:539;1698['  ]| the last of the Mohicans), he having previously spotted on$4$ the printed
16:539;1699['  ]| pricelist for$4$ all who$6#1$ ran to$9$ read opposite him in$4$ unmistakable figures, coffee
16:539;1700['  ]| 2d, confectionery do, and honestly well worth twice the money once in$4$ a
16:539;1701['  ]| way, as Wetherup used to$9$ remark.
16:539;1702[C  ]| ~~ Come,
16:539;1702['  ]| he counselled to$9$ close the \se=ance\.
16:539;1703['  ]| Seeing that$3$ the ruse worked and the coast was clear they left the
16:539;1704['  ]| shelter or shanty together and the \e=lite\ society of oilskin and company
16:539;1705['  ]| whom nothing short of an earthquake would move out of their \dolce far\
16:539;1706['  ]| \niente\. Stephen, who$6#1$ confessed to$4$ still feeling poorly and fagged out,
16:539;1707['  ]| paused at the, for$4$ a moment, the door.
16:539;1708[B  ]| ~~ One thing I never understood,
16:539;1708['  ]| he said to$9$ be original on$4$ the spur of the
16:539;1709['  ]| moment.
16:539;1709[B  ]| Why they put tables upside down at night, I mean chairs upside
16:539;1710[B  ]| down, on$4$ the tables in$4$ cafe=s.
16:539;1711['  ]| To$4$ which$6#1$ impromptu the neverfailing Bloom replied without a
16:539;1712['  ]| moment's hesitation, saying straight off:
16:539;1713[C  ]| ~~ To$9$ sweep the floor in$4$ the morning.
16:539;1714['  ]| So$5#2$ saying he skipped around, nimbly considering, frankly at the same
16:539;1715['  ]| time apologetic to$9$ get on$4$ his companion's right, a habit of his, by*the*bye,
16:539;1716['  ]| his right side being, in$4$ classical idiom, his tender Achilles. The night air was
16:539;1717['  ]| certainly now a treat to$9$ breathe though Stephen was a bit weak on$4$ his pins.
16:539;1718[C  ]| ~~ It will$1$ (the air) do you good,
16:539;1718['  ]| Bloom said, meaning also the walk,
16:539;1718[C  ]| in$4$ a
16:539;1719[C  ]| moment. The only thing is to$9$ walk then you will$1$ feel a different man. Come.
16:539;1720[C  ]| It is not far. Lean on$4$ me.
16:539;1721['  ]| Accordingly he passed his left arm in$4$ Stephen's right and led him on$5$
16:539;1722['  ]| accordingly.
16:539;1723[B  ]| ~~ Yes,
16:539;1723['  ]| Stephen said uncertainly because he thought he felt a strange kind of
16:539;1724['  ]| flesh of a different man approach him, sinewless and wobbly and all that$6#2$.
16:539;1725['  ]| Anyhow they passed the sentrybox with stones, brazier etc. where the
16:539;1726['  ]| municipal supernumerary, ex Gumley, was still to$4$ all intents and purposes
16:539;1727['  ]| wrapped in$4$ the arms of Murphy, as the adage has it, dreaming of fresh
16:539;1728['  ]| fields and pastures new. And \apropos\ of coffin of stones the analogy was
16:539;1729['  ]| not at all bad as it was in$4$ fact a stoning to$4$ death on$4$ the part of seventytwo
16:539;1730['  ]| out of eighty odd constituencies that$6#1$ ratted at the time of the split and
16:539;1731['  ]| chiefly the belauded peasant class, probably the selfsame evicted tenants he
16:539;1732['  ]| had put in$4$ their holdings.
16:539;1733['  ]| So$3$ they turned on$5$ to$4$ chatting about music, a form of art for$4$ which$6#1$
16:539;1734['  ]| Bloom, as a pure amateur, possessed the greatest love, as they made tracks
16:539;1735['  ]| arm in$4$ arm across Beresford*place. Wagnerian music, though confessedly
16:540;1736['  ]| grand in$4$ its way, was a bit too heavy for$4$ Bloom and
16:540;1736['cb]| hard to$9$ follow at the
16:540;1737['cb]| first go-off but the music of Mercadante's \Huguenots\, Meyerbeer's
16:540;1738['cb]| \Seven*Last*Words*on*the*Cross\ and Mozart's \Twelfth*Mass\ he simply revelled in$4$,
16:540;1739['cb]| the \Gloria\ in$4$ that$6#2$ being, to$4$ his mind, the acme of first class music as such,
16:540;1740['cb]| literally knocking everything else into a cocked hat. He infinitely preferred
16:540;1741['cb]| the sacred music of the catholic church to$4$ anything the opposite shop could
16:540;1742['cb]| offer in$4$ that$6#2$ line such as those Moody*and*Sankey hymns or
16:540;1742[Z  ]| \Bid me to$9$ live\
16:540;1743[Z  ]| \and I will$1$ live thy protestant to$9$ be\.
16:540;1743['cb]| He also yielded to$4$ none in$4$ his
16:540;1744['cb]| admiration of Rossini's \Stabat*Mater\, a work simply abounding in$4$
16:540;1745['cb]| immortal numbers, in$4$ which$6#1$ his wife, Madam*Marion*Tweedy, made a hit, a
16:540;1746['cb]| veritable sensation, he might safely say, greatly adding to$4$ her other laurels
16:540;1747['cb]| and putting the others totally in$4$ the shade, in$4$ the jesuit fathers' church in$4$
16:540;1748['cb]| upper*Gardiner*street, the sacred edifice being thronged to$4$ the doors to$9$ hear
16:540;1749['cb]| her with virtuosos, or \virtuosi\ rather. There was the unanimous opinion
16:540;1750['cb]| that$3$ there was none to$9$ come up$5$ to$4$ her and suffice it to$9$ say in$4$ a place of
16:540;1751['cb]| worship for$4$ music of a sacred character there was a generally voiced desire
16:540;1752['cb]| for$4$ an encore. On$4$ the whole though favouring preferably light opera of the
16:540;1753['cb]| \Don*Giovanni\ description and \Martha\, a gem in$4$ its line, he had a \penchant\,
16:540;1754['cb]| though with only a surface knowledge, for$4$ the severe classical school such
16:540;1755['cb]| as Mendelssohn. And talking of that$6#2$, taking it for$4$ granted he knew all about
16:540;1756['cb]| the old favourites, he mentioned \par excellence\ Lionel's air in$4$ \Martha\,
16:540;1757['cb]| \M'appari\, which$6#1$, curiously enough, he had heard or overheard, to$9$ be more
16:540;1758['cb]| accurate, on$4$ yesterday, a privilege he keenly appreciated, from the lips of
16:540;1759['cb]| Stephen's respected father, sung to$4$ perfection, a study of the number, in$4$
16:540;1760['cb]| fact, which$6#1$ made all the others take a back seat.
16:540;1760['  ]| Stephen, in$4$ reply to$4$ a
16:540;1761['  ]| politely put query, said he did not sing it but launched out into praises of
16:540;1762['  ]| Shakespeare's songs, at least of in$4$ or about that$6#2$ period, the lutenist
16:540;1763['  ]| Dowland who$6#1$ lived in$4$ Fetter*lane near Gerard the herbalist, who$6#1$ \7annos\
16:540;1764['  ]| \7ludendo 7hausi, 7Doulandus\, an instrument he was contemplating purchasing
16:540;1765['  ]| from Mr*Arnold*Dolmetsch, whom B. did not quite recall though the name
16:540;1766['  ]| certainly sounded familiar, for$4$ sixtyfive guineas and Farnaby*and*son with
16:540;1767['  ]| their \dux\ and \comes\ conceits and Byrd*%William) who$6#1$ played the virginals,
16:540;1768['  ]| he said, in$4$ the Queen's*chapel or anywhere else he found them and one
16:540;1769['  ]| Tomkins who$6#1$ made toys or airs and John*Bull.
16:540;1770['  ]| On$4$ the roadway which$6#1$ they were approaching whilst still speaking
16:540;1771['  ]| beyond the swingchains a horse, dragging a sweeper, paced on$4$ the paven
16:540;1772['  ]| ground, brushing a long swathe of mire up$5$ so$3$ that$3$ with the noise Bloom
16:540;1773['  ]| was not perfectly certain whether he had caught aright the allusion to$4$
16:540;1774['  ]| sixtyfive guineas and John*Bull.
16:540;1774['XX]| He inquired if it was John*Bull the political
16:540;1775['XX]| celebrity of that$6#2$ ilk, as it struck him, the two identical names, as a striking
16:540;1776['XX]| coincidence.
16:540;1777['  ]| By$4$ the chains the horse slowly swerved to$9$ turn, which$6#1$ perceiving,
16:540;1778['  ]| Bloom, who$6#1$ was keeping a sharp lookout as usual, plucked the other's
16:540;1779['  ]| sleeve gently, jocosely remarking:
16:540;1780[C  ]| ~~ Our lives are in$4$ peril tonight. Beware of the steamroller.
16:541;1781['  ]| They thereupon stopped. Bloom looked at the head of a horse not
16:541;1782['  ]| worth anything like$4$ sixtyfive guineas, suddenly in$4$ evidence in$4$ the dark quite
16:541;1783['  ]| near so$3$ that$3$ it seemed new, a different grouping of bones and even flesh
16:541;1784['  ]| because palpably it was a fourwalker, a hipshaker, a blackbuttocker, a
16:541;1785['  ]| taildangler, a headhanger putting his hind foot foremost the while the lord
16:541;1786['  ]| of his creation sat on$4$ the perch, busy with his thoughts. But such a good
16:541;1787['  ]| poor brute he was sorry he had not a lump of sugar but, as he wisely
16:541;1788['  ]| reflected,
16:541;1788@c   | you could scarcely be prepared for$4$ every emergency that$6#1$ might
16:541;1789@c   | crop up$5$. He was just a big nervous foolish noodly kind of a horse, without
16:541;1790@c   | a second care in$4$ the world. But even a dog,
16:541;1790['  ]| he reflected,
16:541;1790@c   | take that$6#2$ mongrel
16:541;1791@c   | in$4$ Barney*Kiernan's, of the same size, would be a holy horror to$9$ face. But it
16:541;1792@c   | was no$2$ animal's fault in$4$ particular if he was built that$6#2$ way like$4$ the camel,
16:541;1793@c   | ship of the desert, distilling grapes into potheen in$4$ his hump. Nine tenths of
16:541;1794@c   | them all could be caged or trained, nothing beyond the art of man barring
16:541;1795@c   | the bees. Whale with a harpoon hairpin, alligator tickle the small of his
16:541;1796@c   | back and he sees the joke, chalk a circle for$4$ a rooster, tiger my eagle eye.
16:541;1797['  ]| These timely reflections anent the brutes of the field occupied his mind
16:541;1798['  ]| somewhat distracted from Stephen's words while the ship of the street was
16:541;1799['  ]| manoeuvring and Stephen went on$5$ about the highly interesting old.
16:541;1800[C  ]| ~~ What is this I was saying? Ah, yes! My wife,
16:541;1800['  ]| he intimated, plunging \7in\
16:541;1801['  ]| \7medias 7res\,
16:541;1801[C  ]| would have the greatest of pleasure in$4$ making your
16:541;1802[C  ]| acquaintance as she is passionately attached to$4$ music of any kind.
16:541;1803['  ]| He looked sideways in$4$ a friendly fashion at the sideface of Stephen,
16:541;1804['  ]| image of his mother, which$6#1$ was not quite the same as the usual handsome
16:541;1805['  ]| blackguard type they unquestionably had an insatiable hankering after as
16:541;1806['  ]| he was perhaps not that$6#2$ way built.
16:541;1807['  ]| Still, supposing he had his father's gift as he more than suspected, it
16:541;1808['  ]| opened up$5$ new vistas in$4$ his mind such as Lady*Fingall's Irish industries,
16:541;1809['  ]| concert on$4$ the preceding Monday, and aristocracy in$4$ general.
16:541;1810['  ]| Exquisite variations he was now describing on$4$ an air \Youth*here*has*End\
16:541;1811['  ]| by$4$ Jans*Pieter*Sweelinck, a Dutchman of Amsterdam where the frows
16:541;1812['  ]| come from. Even more he liked an old German song of Johannes*Jeep
16:541;1813['  ]| about the clear sea and the voices of sirens, sweet murderers of men, which$6#1$
16:541;1814['  ]| boggled Bloom a bit:
16:541;1815[Z  ]| \Von der Sirenen Listigkeit\
16:541;1816[Z  ]| \Tun die Poeten dichten.\
16:541;1817['  ]| These opening bars he sang and translated \extempore\. Bloom,
16:541;1818['  ]| nodding, said
16:541;1818['XX]| he perfectly understood and begged him to$9$ go on$5$ by$4$ all
16:541;1819['XX]| means
16:541;1819['  ]| which$6#1$ he did.
16:541;1820['cb]| A phenomenally beautiful tenor voice like$4$ that$6#2$, the rarest of boons,
16:541;1821['cb]| which$6#1$ Bloom appreciated at the very first note he got out, could easily, if
16:541;1822['cb]| properly handled by$4$ some recognised authority on$4$ voice production such as
16:541;1823['cb]| Barraclough and being able to$9$ read music into the bargain, command its
16:541;1824['cb]| own price where baritones were ten a penny and procure for$4$ its fortunate
16:542;1825['cb]| possessor in$4$ the near future an \entre=e\ into fashionable houses in$4$ the best
16:542;1826['cb]| residential quarters of financial magnates in$4$ a large way of business and
16:542;1827['cb]| titled people where with his university degree of B%*A% (a huge ad in$4$ its way)
16:542;1828['cb]| and gentlemanly bearing to$4$ all the more influence the good impression he
16:542;1829['cb]| would infallibly score a distinct success, being blessed with brains which$6#1$
16:542;1830['cb]| also could be utilised for$4$ the purpose and other requisites, if his clothes
16:542;1831['cb]| were properly attended to$5$ so$3$ as to$4$ the better worm his way into their good
16:542;1832['cb]| graces as he, a youthful tyro in$4$ society's sartorial niceties, hardly
16:542;1833['cb]| understood how a little thing like$4$ that$6#2$ could militate against you. It was in$4$
16:542;1834['cb]| fact only a matter of months and he could easily foresee him participating
16:542;1835['cb]| in$4$ their musical and artistic \conversaziones\ during the festivities of the
16:542;1836['cb]| Christmas season, for$4$ choice, causing a slight flutter in$4$ the dovecotes of the
16:542;1837['cb]| fair sex and being made a lot of by$4$ ladies out for$4$ sensation, cases of which$6#1$,
16:542;1838['cb]| as he happened to$9$ know, were on$4$ record  ~~  in$4$ fact, without giving the show
16:542;1839['cb]| away, he himself once upon$4$ a time, if he cared to$9$, could easily have. Added
16:542;1840['cb]| to$4$ which$6#1$ of course would be the pecuniary emolument by$4$ no$2$ means to$9$ be
16:542;1841['cb]| sneezed at, going hand in$4$ hand with his tuition fees. Not, he parenthesised,
16:542;1842['cb]| that$3$ for$4$ the sake of filthy lucre he need necessarily embrace the lyric
16:542;1843['cb]| platform as a walk in$4$ life for$4$ any lengthy space of time. But a step in$4$ the
16:542;1844['cb]| required direction it was beyond yea or nay and both monetarily and
16:542;1845['cb]| mentally it contained no$2$ reflection on$4$ his dignity in$4$ the smallest and it often
16:542;1846['cb]| turned in$5$ uncommonly handy to$9$ be handed a cheque at a muchneeded
16:542;1847['cb]| moment when every little helped. Besides, though taste latterly had
16:542;1848['cb]| deteriorated to$4$ a degree, original music like$4$ that$6#2$, different from the
16:542;1849['cb]| conventional rut, would rapidly have a great vogue as it would be a decided
16:542;1850['cb]| novelty for$4$ Dublin's musical world after the usual hackneyed run of catchy
16:542;1851['cb]| tenor solos foisted on$4$ a confiding public by$4$ Ivan*St*Austell and Hilton*St*Just 
16:542;1852['cb]| and their \genus omne\. Yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt he could,
16:542;1853['cb]| with all the cards in$4$ his hand and he had a capital opening to$9$ make a name
16:542;1854['cb]| for$4$ himself and win a high place in$4$ the city's esteem where he could
16:542;1855['cb]| command a stiff figure and, booking ahead, give a grand concert for$4$ the
16:542;1856['cb]| patrons of the King*street house, given a backerup, if one were forthcoming
16:542;1857['cb]| to$9$ kick him upstairs, so$5#2$ to$9$ speak, a big \if\ however, with some impetus of the
16:542;1858['cb]| goahead sort to$9$ obviate the inevitable procrastination which$6#1$ often tripped
16:542;1859['cb]| up$5$ a too much fe^ted prince of good fellows. And it need not detract from
16:542;1860['cb]| the other by$4$ one iota as, being his own master, he would have heaps of time
16:542;1861['cb]| to$9$ practise literature in$4$ his spare moments when desirous of so$5#2$ doing
16:542;1862['cb]| without its clashing with his vocal career or containing anything derogatory
16:542;1863['cb]| whatsoever as it was a matter for$4$ himself alone. In$4$ fact, he had the ball at
16:542;1864['cb]| his feet and that$6#2$ was the very reason why the other, possessed of a
16:542;1865['cb]| remarkably sharp nose for$4$ smelling a rat of any sort, hung on$5$ to$4$ him at all.
16:542;1866['  ]| The horse was just then. And later on$5$ at a propitious opportunity he
16:542;1867['  ]| purposed (Bloom did), without anyway prying into his private affairs on$4$ the
16:542;1868['  ]| \fools step in$5$ where angels\ principle, advising him to$9$ sever his connection
16:542;1869['  ]| with a certain budding practitioner who$6#1$, he noticed, was prone to$9$ disparage
16:543;1870['  ]| and even to$4$ a slight extent with some hilarious pretext when not present,
16:543;1871['  ]| deprecate him, or whatever you like$1$ to$9$ call it which$6#1$ in$4$ Bloom's humble
16:543;1872['  ]| opinion threw a nasty sidelight on$4$ that$6#2$ side of a person's character, no$2$ pun
16:543;1873['  ]| intended.
16:543;1874['  ]| The horse having reached the end of his tether, so$5#2$ to$9$ speak, halted
16:543;1875['  ]| and, rearing high a proud feathering tail, added his quota by$4$ letting fall on$4$
16:543;1876['  ]| the floor which$6#1$ the brush would soon brush up$5$ and polish, three smoking
16:543;1877['  ]| globes of turds. Slowly three times, one after another, from a full crupper he
16:543;1878['  ]| mired. And humanely his driver waited till he (or she) had ended, patient in$4$
16:543;1879['  ]| his scythed car.
16:543;1880['  ]| Side by$4$ side Bloom, profiting by$4$ the \contretemps\, with Stephen passed
16:543;1881['  ]| through the gap of the chains, divided by$4$ the upright, and, stepping over a
16:543;1882['  ]| strand of mire, went across towards Gardiner*street*lower, Stephen singing
16:543;1883['  ]| more boldly, but not loudly, the end of the ballad.
16:543;1884[Z  ]| \Und alle Schiffe br^ucken.\
16:543;1885['  ]| The driver never said a word, good, bad or indifferent, but merely
16:543;1886['  ]| watched the two figures, \as he sat on$4$ his lowbacked car\, both black, one
16:543;1887['  ]| full, one lean, walk towards the railway bridge, \to$9$ be married by$4$ Father\
16:543;1888['  ]| \Maher\. As they walked they at times stopped and walked again continuing
16:543;1889['  ]| their \9te^te 9a` 9te^te\ (which$6#1$, of course, he was utterly out of) about sirens,
16:543;1890['  ]| enemies of man's reason, mingled with a number of other topics of the same
16:543;1891['  ]| category, usurpers, historical cases of the kind while the man in$4$ the sweeper
16:543;1892['  ]| car or you might as well call it in$4$ the sleeper car who$6#1$ in$4$ any case could not
16:543;1893['  ]| possibly hear because they were too far simply sat in$4$ his seat near the end of
16:543;1894['  ]| lower*Gardiner*street \and looked after their lowbacked car\.
