New Zealand thrusts a newspaper underneath America’s nose at seven in the morning, rudely interrupting her morning coffee and general mood for the day. She can already feel an incoming headache, resonating deep inside her as her blue eyes skim the pages, resting on the featured headline. Normally she would not care for headlines and news stories, believing that she’s updated herself every so often, on cold lonely nights with a mug of steaming tea in her hands, looking down from her balcony and into the wild, breeze flowing down at her hair as she checks her phone for new inquiries and to see if there is anything that can potentially be useful to her; either for entertainment or for her job.

She furrows her brows as she reads the headlines again and again, clutching the smooth surface of the newspaper, acting like it has done something wrong to her when in reality, she was the one missing-in-action, out of the game, because she was busily fixing that god-awful broken television that kept bugging her due to the fact she could not watch all of her weekly shows last night in a bathrobe.

“What do you think of this?”, New Zealand asks his sister, quirking a brow at her direction, like she was the boss and everyone has to follow her orders.

(Technically, she is the boss- from taking care of this whole department while the others had gone to their free periods and such, or to the point where her hair is in a bun and looking over at the files in alphabetical order, hoping for the morning to go easy on her.)

“I don’t know; how do you think I should react?”, she replies to her brother, who shrugs a little.

“This might be our one chance on getting into Teikoku’s lair once and for all”, New Zealand replies, and he points at the picture of a man in his late thirties, dark brown eyes staring at the camera, smooth dark hair shining from the light. Manchukuo, it read. “This guy was one of his bodyguards, and now he’s got a vacant position that one of us can occupy.”

“You can take care of this; I’ll be watching.” She leans back onto her swivel chair, legs on the reception desk, boredly looking at the lights blinkering above her, the ceiling plain white and she reminds herself to actually paint this whole dull station to look more entertaining than the pieces of paper scattered around her office day and night.

“You’re going to participate in this”, Canada speaks up from where he was sitting, Vietnam in front of him, possibly talking about something important. “We need you on this case, America. Because I feel like this Teikoku case will spiral out of control due to the diabolical plans he has up his sleeve.”

America groans- Canada was using his ‘older brother’ voice (despite the fact America is older than the bastard by a few years); at times Australia would mimick his tone of voice whenever they were alone to make Kiwi and America better, but now she handles the lamp on her desk, feeling its metal surface underneath her warm palms, wanting to throw the object right at Canada’s face, wanting to hear him shout in surprise as the lamp will collide with his face. She doesn’t, though; she’ll have fun torturing him during practice.

The front door opens and like fishes swimming their way to where the food is, they turn their heads towards the swinging doors, to reveal Philip (two hours late, like he always is), with an even more eyebrow-raising surprise; he was holding a vase full of white orchids, its petals flowing softly in the rising sun before he rudely closes the doors, his face looking utterly exhausted like he’s ran a marathon, dark circles over taking the space under his eyes like it was a cosmic deity of space and his hands were trembling, perhaps forcing them to work to death and in excruciating pain, leaving them immobile as he tries to carry the light-weight vase with visible difficulty. His hair was messy and standing on ends, like he had just woken up from the soft and sweet tendrils of sleep just this morning, put on his shoddy attire (it doesn’t even look ironed; the ruffled creases is obvious) and walked from hell to work.

But everyone’s eyes weren’t on Philip looking the slightest bit ghastly or sleep-deprived despite drinking down three cups of coffee based on how rushed and fast he walks, no; their eyes were on the pale white orchids, the wind inside of the room making them bow down obedient and willing to listen to their master. The colors were ghostly, touched by a spirit from another realm, like someone had just died.

The silence was broken by Philip, who, in his coffee-blazed haze, glares at everyone. “What?”

Canada was the first to recover, a smirk playin on his lips, light eyes staring at the orchids. “So, who is it?”

“Whose what?”, Philip snaps, walking towards his desk and harshly placing the vase on the table- America sees the orchids bounce, its only fluid movement of life before becoming silent once again.

“Uh, ya know”, Aussie eyes the vase again, “the orchids.”

Philip glances at the orchids, like it was the first time he acknowledges their presence as he raises a brow. “These? A friend gave them to me this morning.”

Canada’s smirk grows wider, his brows wiggling. “A ’friend’, hm? Or perhaps�� a secret admirer?”

Philip rolls his eyes, sighing. “Look, it’s not like that okay? Just… drop it.”

America blinks at the tone of curtness Philip had in his voice, especially when he starts to curse the god above to why the coffee machine is empty and who wasted the favorite flavor of his, mumbling something incomprehensible before resolving to go outside, away from the eyes, to go buy somewhere.

As he opens the door to the outside world again, the sun and electrical lights made America catch on to something she did not notice a while ago.

There was a golden ring on Philip’s finger, a pattern of small words deciphered into it, its golden gleam and glow reflective throughout the sun.

“America, we really need your help in this case”, Canada pleads with her again, voice soft and literally like a small boy, but she scoffs.

“Ya’ll can do that on your own”, she replies, examining her gleaming and polished nails in the light. “I’m going to be here. Watching.”

“We need you more than as a watcher”, Canada argues back, his voice becoming impatient as his strings of kindness start to loosen. “We need you on our team, to spy on enemy eyes.”

“What makes Teikoku so special anyways? He kidnap a boy’s mother- big deal. Does that make him different from other mobs that also kidnap people?”

“Well, no, not really-”

“Well you have my answer. I’m not helping, you’re on your own.”

“Will this change your mind, then?”, Philip intervenes from the end of the table, holding up a small slip of paper. He walks up to America, giving her the brittle piece of evidence to why she’d volunteer onto this crazy cuckoo quest her brother had just started because he’s too compassionate to a child. She reads and rereads it, the messy and garbled writing surely belonging to Teikoku, due to his harsh lettering and vocabulary. She could just imagine him writing this message with a small smirk on his face, loving the way he would toy at the people he would crush under his shoes when the time comes.

Her eyes tell the story all by itself. Absolute boredom once she starts reading the words and language written in the letter, slowly widening in surprise and panic, the words and letters slowly murdering her on the inside, one hand letting go of the letter to hold on to her throat, as if the words are latching onto her, suffocating her with a pillow. America’s eyes of terror stare from Canada’s concerned expression to Philip’s furrowed brow.

“Where did you find this?”, America asks the one who gave her the letter, him fiddling with his pen.

“I decided to look into someone else’s files for the Teikoku case”, he says, eye averting from the audience, expression unreadable, lines clearly well-rehearsed like he has heard this question one thousand and one nights and his mouth of silver would answer words golden, words of promises, showering jewelry onto the person he is speaking to. “Tokyo, his brother.”

“He wrote his plans to his brother? Then how did it end up in Tokyo’s file?” Canada asks with a suspicious look on his face.

Philip sighs, “Look, sometimes I can hack into others’ documents; Tokyo’s letter history wasn’t secure at all, which is how I got the letter.”

“Philip asks full permission to search out the files for Teikoku’s family”, Aussie intervenes, raising his hand.

“Apparently Teikoku’s letter to Tokyo was hidden beneath another sheet of paper to the point we haven’t even noticed it”, Kiwi adds.

Philip was distractedly playing with the ring on his finger, eyes full of longing… before turning back to America. “So- are you in this or not?”

America looks back at her audience, eyes expectant, monitoring and watching her evert move. It was a choice of a lifetime; to stop Teikoku’s evil deeds before the seeds of malevolence he had planted grow over night, into a tree deep in the gardens, standung still, swaying to the beat of the winds and its leaves will become darker, shaping the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve had eaten due to a snake’s evil treachery. America looks at the tables, its metallic state replicating her face but more distorted and highly surreal, everyone’s eyes are now melded into one being. She sighs, defeated.

“Fine, I’ll join.”

Koku stands outside of Teikoku’s office, leaning against the wall, crossing his arms at the same time carressing his bruise. He winces once his fingers brush the wound on his forearm, once a gash from last night now bandaged but he can still see the traces of crimson blood when he dares look at it. He’d bit his lip during the whole process of tending to his wound, trying not to glance at it because he knows that it is quite a gruesome sight, clenching his eyes closed, feeling the nurse’s hands near the wound and even above it, making him wince ever so slightly. Teikoku was there, encouraging him that everything will be fine, it was just a gash he had earned from the shattered chandelier glass.

It was obsessively itchy in the bandages, and he tries to resist scratching his forearm because goddamn it the whole bandage was itchy, like hands trying hard to find his sensitive spot but ultimately failing because he is both angry and irritated. It was much better than the obliterating pain he felt when he realizes he actually has a wound on his arm.

Koku inhales and exhales; whatever the reason, he dislikes the sight of blood.

He hears his brother in his office, talking to someone on the phone in a hushed voice, always knowing when someone is at the door. Koku decides to spend his time waiting for Teikoku by rehearsing his words, clouds of words and letters forming in his head like precipitation is going to drown them all. He tries to pick his words carefully, walking on a tightrope that once he looks down he sees a dark abyss opening its mouth to engulf him wholly. He forms a coherent sentence in his mind, a cloud to his clear-headedness; he hears the squeak of a door and Koku snaps out from his thoughts.

“Koku”, comes the voice of the elder, actually tinged with surprise as he finds his younger brother, “what brings you to my room?”

Koku bites his lower lip, opening his mouth and trying to remind his brain not to stutter. “W-well, Manchukuo’s dead.”

Teikoku’s face clouds over, but instead of white cotton clouds blocking out the sun his whole face looks like a thunderstorm is brewing. “I am aware of it.”

“He has three children”, Koku continues, “I believe that they need to be notified of their father’s…”, he swallows down bile and the word ‘dead’, “passing.”

Teikoku nods, his face still settled into a deep frown. “Is that all you wish to talk to me, brother?”

Koku shivers a little, like Teikoku’s stare is stabbing into him, and he has never felt this feeling before, like the whole surrounding is now covered in ice, freezing him until he cannot move, eyes searching for a way of warmth before dying in fiery cold.

“No”, Koku fixes his hair awkwardly as a way to compose himself, “since Manchukuo is�� dead, I feel like what he left - aside from his children - is a vacant position for a job.”

Teikoku lifts a brow, suddenly intrigued. “A job.”

Koku nods, “For um… as a bodyguard for the family.”

Teikoku’s frown transforms to a thoughtful look, seemingly considering what Koku says, before looking back at his brother with a small smile on his face. “I’ll consider it; but you do the job interviews, hm?”

Koku’s face lights up, ultimately nodding- he had never received a serious responsibility before, and he now feels eager to do as his brother says. “I will, not to worry Teikoku.” Before he turns to leave, however, he looks back at him. “Where was Palau, during the dinner?”

Teikoku smiles mysteriously, hiding a secret, the snake inside of him trying to jump out. “She had a dinner date in another restaurant; she didn’t want us to disturb them, so I didn’t invite her to eat dinner with us.”

(Palau had been thoroughly as shaken as Koku was when she comes out of her car, pale as a ghost, shielding her body from her father, eyes swivelling from he to Koku. She doesn’t look like she even ate, as thin as she had once was, no joy in her body and replaced by fear clawing at her alive.

Koku had asked what happened to her date, and, her eyes flinging to Teikoku, she smiles a little before saying, “I enjoyed it.”)

Koku nods, telling his brother he will see him later during lunch, walking away from his brother and his room, hearing the door close behind him. As if the cost was clear, as if his third eye tells him that the threat has now long gone, his smile fades and turns into a small frown. His fingers linger on his wound before the little pinch of pain becomes too much for him to handle, his pacing becoming faster, shuffling his feet across the smooth tiles of floors like he is now being lifted by an angel with wings. His train of thought goes from his request to his brother to what happened last night.

Koku thinks about the catastrophe that was last night: how an unruly gang knew Teikoku’s name and wants his blood; how Manchukuo seemed to recognize one of the members; how that man was seen dragging away another boy away from Teikoku; he doesn’t get why that gang targetted his brother, of all people. Perhaps of his money, he assumes, because they are one of the richest families in the city, and Teikoku’s charming grin while handling his well-tailored suit can tell him that they wish to smear his blood on his own fortune, to claim it as their own. But there was something else- the way the boy with the eye-patch tries to aim his pistol on Teikoku, wishing vengeance as he tries to shoot the bullet ready to kill him. The way Teikoku did not flinch nor look casual when he sees Manchukuo’s body, blood dripping from the hole in his head, like he expected this outcome and expected his death.

Maybe there is more to Teikoku and he is only scratching the surface.

America sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose, tying her hair up in a bun, looking at her reflection in the bathroom’s mirror. When she tells them she actually wanted to join this wild case against Teikoku, they give her a job where she wouldn’t sit back and watch this whole disaster play out. At the very least, she isn’t going to disguise herself as a prostitute to seduce her clients, like what Canada is doing now. She takes out her compact mirror to try add a little splendor to her face, then dabbing herself with perfume to somewhat impress her brand new 'boss’, as Australia so elegantly put it.

(“Looks like you’re the one being ordered around now”, Australia snickers as he gives her a bunch of uniforms to sort out through to see which suits her the best.

America gives her brother a glare before picking out one from the pile, “I’ll have fun removing your lunch time privilages.”

Australia goes pale.)

America looks back at her reflection again, cerulean eyes making contact with its duplicate, steeling herself for what was about to come, rehearsing the words in her head and trying hard not to let Teikoku get the best of her. Of course, she reminds herself to never be nervous of Teikoku, that he is the worst of them all, a single demon escaping from hell to create an all new spawn of monsters lurking around every dark corner, a shadow to one’s eye. She takes a deep and sharp breath, applying lip balm on her lips and she gives herself a small smile, to look like nothing is wrong and everything is fine, and that she isn’t infiltrating a bastard’s home every time he isn’t looking.

America replays her role in her head, trying to clear her mind.

Be hired as one of Teikoku’s bodyguards.

Find evidence in his files.

Arrest him.

Sounds like an easy enough plan, America thinks to herself, the problem is whether Teikoku is smart enough to see through her.

Another reason why she did not join this whole goose chase in the first place: she indisputably is aware that Teikoku is a conniving and perceptive man- one wrong move he’ll put a bullet through her skull or do something much worse than a quick and painless death. She had met him, once; during a party by one of the highest officials in the city, intent to become allies with the richest of businessman and highest of officials.

Teikoku was the least talkative out of everyone she has ever interacted, crossing his arms and never inviting anyone to his personal space unless he is called by someone else, putting on anelegant and charming smile that wins the entire population, disregsrding his eyes; grey orbs that swirl with absolute evil and lust for power, his hands conjoining as he looks towards the surroundings with intent and ambition painted across his face, waiting for the right moment to strike like he was a lion waiting for the prey to be surrounded to jump out from their hiding and tear its food apart, piece by piece, grinding its teeth to their flesh as they squeal and scream and kick but the grip is firm, until their screams die and their hearts will stop, knowing that this was the end of their existence.

America refuses to remember the way he looked at her, the way he looked at the other women from a distance, smiling wickedly ever so slightly, a smirk on his face, glass of wine in his palms, studying its contents.

America looks back at the mirror, giving herself another confident smile, before stalking out from the bathroom and into the fatal situation that she has gotten herself into, with no way back unless it’s through Teikoku’s head.

Canada has never been to a brothel before.

(Well, if he counts those times his father tried to get him to loosen up a bit and lose his virginity to strangers unknown to him. He declined his father’s offers, knowing that he should save his virtue for someone special, but later that night he made the mistake of letting someone into their house in a drunken haze, his room smelling of honey and lemon for days.)

He opens his phone to send Aussie and Kiwi a message, that he was already in front of Teikoku’s very own brothel and house for prostitution, ’The Comfort Zone’, as he so elegantly put it.

(He can see why it is called like that; providing comfort and sweet sweet lust to the clients paying for a cheap fuck or two, but for the prostitutes being forced to work in this place they are stuck in the deepest pits of hell, forcefully playing the game of lust with their customers, knowing they don’t enjoy it, and never will.)

Canada takes his time pacing at the entrace, trying to make himself look unrecognizable and obscure from the cameras littering around the place, covering himself, trying to look unrecognizable through the blur of the mobitoring and predating cameras littered around the whole place, fixing his hair, making himself look less more of an officer and more as an awkward and newcomer looking for a quick fuck like their stored lust has now been unleashed.

But for the first time in his life, he isn’t looking forward to get laid.

He needed answers and evidence to destroy Teikoku and his family once and for all, ridding the world once more of life that taints blood with inklings of darkness, first small drops like a rain before the storm hits, before the thunder claps and the lightning flashes and strikes across the sky, until it becomes a downpour but instead of drying once their old enemy the sun is shining ever so brightly and radiantly, they dry until nothing is left but their ghosts.

Taking a deep breath, he walks in.

Renmin wakes up feeling warm, either from the sun escaping through the barriers that is the windows and curtains, the soft blanket covering his waist down, or Sulian’s warm arms wrapping around him. He can feel Sulian’s breath on his neck, the way his lover’s chest rises and falls like the beat of his heart, eyes closed and lips parted, as if expecting a kiss from the deepest tendrils of sleep, waiting for someone, anyone, to wake him up with a touch on the lips. Renmin just smiles, of course; nothing had ruined his peaceful morning with Sulian, their night ecstatic and amazing, each of their kisses giving them more and more warmth until it burnt on their skin and lips like forging the flames of a dying sun. He carefully carresses the man in front of him, his lover, on the cheek, feeling the softness of the skin from a hardenned man, always in for battles, but never displaying affection.

Except for him.

The warm arms enveloping him pushes his bare body, only flesh and no clothing, closer to Sulian’s chest, shirt ruffled and tattered from last night’s latest game for naught. Renmin sighs once again, putting his arms around Sulian’s much larger and bulkier body, cuddling himself closer in his chest.

They can stay like this forever; time standing still, stopping them from doing anything, no one disturbing them, an unbreakable glass dome around the couple, serene and sturdy, letting them rest until they grow old and die, thus ending their small string of love, cut by fate.

Of course, nothing can last forever- he hears Sulian groan, a sign he has roughly been disrupted from his peaceful sleep and is brought back to the nightmare that is his life, and his dream that is Renmin, smiling back at him. He opens his amber eye, taking in his surroundings like he was in an unfamiliar setting with no way back, until his eyes find Renmin’s, body entangled in a mass of blankets and his arms, smiling a little back at him. Sulian smiles as well, feeling his day become better just by looking at the star near him, brightening like a damned solar flare, until burning out and becoming mortal like the rest of the universe.

Renmin feels a kiss on top of his forehead, a kiss of love burning through his head like the bullet he embedded on his own brother’s forehead, no sense of remorse, and no time for such rushed reunions.

All he needed was Sulian, and that is the objective that makes his heart melt.

“Zaoshang hao”, he greets, as he feels the arms around him stretch and Sulian yawning. He feels another kiss on his forehead, then on his lips, short but brilliant, making him feel at home.

“Morning, lyubov”, Soviet greets back, still entranced from sleep. Renmin chuckles as Sulian once again puts his arms around him, bringing him closer. “I have been dreaming about you.”

Renmin smells the sweat and blood on his shirt, sighing a little. “As you should.”

They stay like this once again, the entire world against their union and against their love for one another, but they too, hate what the world has given them and wish to correct the perspective given to them. Minguo had made the same mistake, trying to tear them apart to keep his younger brother loyal, but in the end he lost one ally to another.

He can feel old grudges rising inside of him, remembering Minguo’s red face once he says he was in an alliance with Sulian’s gang, remembering the way his older brother’s hands were up on his throat, choking and suffocating him, depriving the boy of needed air to sustain himself and one hand crawling up until it reaches his eye, and as Renmin cries and screams and kicks and pleads with Minguo, begging for forgiveness, but like a doctor’s scalpel digging into one’s flesh to draw out blood, the fingers plunging into his sockets and ripping his eye out like it was nothing but a toy stuck and wedged into the wall, the hands stubbornly never giving up on its onslaught until at last they finally meet their goal. A hand unconsciously comes towards the wounded eye, a raw flavor on what those wars have done to him.

A sigh comes from Sulian- not one of disappointment but a pitying one. “Thinking about Minguo again?”

Renmin snuggles a little more into him, “Well, sort of. It’s been a decade and I still haven’t found him.”

Amber eyes melt into gold. “Is it because of your meeting with Manchukuo last night?”

Renmin fixes his hair, staring at the ceiling. “Well, yes; we’re all aware that he works for that bastard man now, but to see him again… it just made me feel strange.”

“Perhaps from the fact I murdered your own blood?”

Renmin snorts, “Oh please- I’d care less about family who’s rejected me lying down in front of me dead.” He kisses Sulian again, feeling a hand on his back to elongate and deepen their passion, until seconds later Sulian lets him go, light in his eyes.

“Let’s go eat breakfast, then”, Sulian says, getting up, his waist below covered by the covers until he stands, looking for his clothes, leaving Renmin to monitor his back, feeling his skin prick with more passion.

They were late for breakfast, of course; breathless and messy hair, clothes absolutely falling down like they had a small quick fuck (of course they did) before walking out of the hall and in absolute bliss, the members of their small mob knowing what they’d just done but never commenting, preferring to be as silent as the lambs than scarring themselves with what the couple does in bed. Breakfast, like all other periods of feeding members, were quiet, hushed voices the only one trying to tap on the window of silence, as everyone clinks on their plates, eating in small and rhythmic bites to savor their meals and their energy for another day. Some were not eating and instead having a conversation with their friends; some were smoking outside with a cup of coffee as their meal; and some - like Inmin - were busily scheming silently.

Inmin was one of their youngest members- recruited at the mere age of thirteen just to find his mother in the darkest corners, going through desperate measures to find her. He was a young and naïve boy, once upon a time; a small smile on his face, amber eyes full of fractured innocence, ready to be used for one’s advantage, to be played with until his innocence shatters. He had lived happily with his family from beyond, but his desperation to find his mother made him and his twin drift apart, a single dust speck in the winds. Madness came to him like a swift wind dealing with a tree trying to stand during a storm- an explosion had racked the boy’s nerves one day, and a shard had scarred him for life, maming contact with his eye. When he wakes up from his slumber, he was hysterical, blaming his family and everything for what has happened to him.

Inmin remains silent but at the same time vocal to this day.

Sulian tells Renmin that he was going to get them breakfast, and Renmin swivels around towards Inmin’s table, only one person sitting on it, never eating, thin but able, holding a newspaper, and, judging by his face, once again exercising himself to read the printed words. Once he senses Renmin near him, however, he stops trying to read.

“Joh-eun achim, Jung-gug”, Inmin says with a small voice, hoarse from last nights shouting and screaming and crying about how they were close, so close to getting Teikoku. He turns back to the newspaper. “I’ve reread the same page over and over but the only thing I can understand is - well - your brother’s death.”

Renmin nods, taking the newspaper from Inmin’s hands and reading the section of Manchukuo’s death. His eyes skim the page, paragraph by paragraph, until he freezes, his eyes flying wide as his entire blood runs cold. If Sulian had given him a cup of coffee earlier, he would’ve spat out the bitter and hot liquid before dropping it on to the floor.

Inmin seems to sense his discomfort, and he blinks and asks, “Are you alright?”

Renmin does not reply, looking at the last paragraph about Manchukuo’s death, the photo of his dead older half-brother haunting him, like he came back just to mock Renmin.

The death of Manchukuo was hard for his boss, Teikoku, who says that Manchukuo was a loyal friend in the end, and to his three children, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, who were waiting for their father to come home until Teikoku breaks the news to the three orphaned kids.

“He had children”, he says in a small voice, barely a whisper. He can feel the whole world once again laughing at him, noticing his horrible decision when he let Sulian go in for the kill. Of his brother. Of a father. A father of three small children, oblivious to the matters of death and are now paying their father’s price.

“Do you feel guilty of the fact that I murdered someone with three children on his shoulders?”, Sulian asks from behind, making Renmin jolt from surprise as he turns and faces Sulian, two pairs of plates with meals and two cups of coffee, juggling them in each hand. His eyes were on the printed words, while Renmin’s were on his shoes, feeling ugly guilt churning inside of him, a feeling he had not felt ever since he sees Nanjing being dragged by Teikoku but never doing anything about it, because that was Minguo’s responsibility but he did not see him look for his wife, having disappeared to thin air. His hand shakes a little, like the whole world had gone cold, creeping up from the wake of the warmth of the fireplace until it catches him by surprise, freezing him alive. A little sprinkle of sadness, then of guilt, was enough for him to suffocate of his deeds.

But he sucks that up; he did not have any time to cry or mourn Manchukuo’s death, knowing he is nothing but a hindrance now gone from his life. He looks at Sulian straight in the eye, who was trying to test his composure, wanting to see him cry.

There is less time for humility and more time for pride.

He smiles pleasantly, “No, not even a bit.”

America makes her way through Teikoku’s halls, being escorted by his half-brother - Koku, she reminds herself - who was waiting for a flood of people coming to their home for a new job but only she arrives. She remembers the way Koku was fidgeting in the entrance, pacing back and forth, rehearsing speeches to himself all the while fixing his hair to look nice in front of an audience. The way he smiled at her as she approaches, was like the sun had become brighter and stronger, flares scorching from his veins but instead of malevolence the smile is genuine and happy, unlike Teikoku’s. The way he shook her hand, like he was eager to meet her, as if he has been closed off from the world and has only ever interacted with his family.

(According to his records, Koku was home-schooled by Teikoku; maybe that is why he seemed so happy yet awkward to interact with someone outside his family.)

The halls were lit by small lamps on the walls, giving the white paint a sort of radiant yet looming energy, a candle dancing with the flames on its head to give their surroundings a better light. She looks at the floors, patterned tiles sounding as she steps on them with her heels, looking at Koku who was humming to himself as he busily stares ahead. She keeps her head low, but looking at the long halls until they reach the intersection where the halls end into dozens of rooms, railways of patterns around them.

“Just continue following me, we’re almost there”, Koku tells her, and she looks back at him, dark hair smoothed out, gray eyes sparkling and glinting.

She thinks that, despite the fact they are half-brothers, their resemblance is uncanny, and not even Tokyo can be compared to how similar they both are. Perhaps the only difference is the air around them; Teikoku presents himself as a meteor that is slowly looming closer out of the naked eye until its impact cannot be stopped and it shakes the entire world, while Koku was a small comet, passing by in a wink of an eye.

Even his voice enchants her a little, just a little- she reminds herself he is just like his brother, his innocent demeanor a ruse to let her guard down until he leaves her to rot in a hole.

She is wary of how unusually calm and somewhat bright behavior is odd for someone who was caught in a crossfire last night. She eyes the bandaged wound on his forearm, a red crimson hue surrounding the gauze. She and Koku go through the dark hallways again, seeing the entire house so… huge yet monochrome, blank walls as if eyes can escape through its blank stare, looking at her suspiciously, knowing of her intentions of goal. Koku stops at a large door, mahogany penetrated for patterns as he unlocks it and ushers her in.

Like the walls from the hallways, this was painted a lonely white, sorrow surrounding her, eating her whole slowly but surely, and she turns back to her guide who was busily arranging some things out of the way.

“Sorry about this room, it’s the only vacant one in the house”, he finally says after a while of arranging chairs. He looks back at her, tilting his head, “well, if you accept or get this job, you can have this room.”

America shakes her head, plastering a small smile, “No, I’d rather stay with my family.”

Koku nods, no malice or grudge hidden in his eyes. “I’d understand; I wouldn’t want to be separated from my family as well.”

With a content smile on his face, he asks, “What’s your name and do you have any family members?”

“My name’s America”, she replies coolly, leaning back on her chair like it’s the end of the world, “my father was England, I don’t know my mother, and I have three brothers.” Her eyes turn from the windows featuring the blue skies to Koku’s thoughtful face, magnetized by how the creases of his brow fade whenever he raises his eyebrows, the tongue sticking from the edge of his lip like a small child trying to make something out of his own sweat and tears, determined to impress their parent.

Koku’s gray eyes meet hers and he gives her a small smile and her cheeks color, heart beating just a little faster than it was before. She shakes herself out of it, playing on a strand of her hair, averting her gaze from Koku like a dazed school girl. Her mind reminds her smitten heart that he is a mission, bait for her demise, knowing he’s only pretending to be her companion until she makes the wrong move.

“Why do you want to apply to become a bodyguard?”

“The news last night was quite a surprise, to be honest.” She picks at her words on the platter, calmly choosing them with one finger to lead her on until she gets the job. “An experienced bodyguard, of one of the most powerful businessmen, killed by a lover of a mob boss… I don’t like mafia mobs, you see. They took my father away and they, well…” She leans closer to him, getting the boy in front of her, just a teen, invested. “I wouldn’t want you to get hurt, of course.”

Her cerulean eyes meet with Koku’s gray ones, her fingers lingering on his larger but smoother hands a little, playing with him, even if it means seducing him to get this job because at the very least, he is not his brother. She blinks at him, trying to look innocent, a damsel wanting to save him from the bandits who’d run his castle dry. He goes entirely red, America feeling his hands shake.

“I-I…”, he sputters, hormones raging deep inside him whilst America smiles at him, a devil in Eve’s clothes. “I a-appreciate your concern, but I don’t need protection.”

America feigns surprise and hurt, her eyes twinkling more with pure unaldurated lust and desire for Koku. “Oh? Even if you say you’re protected by Teikoku, he’ll never be always there for you, always busy and away for his work.” They are now a small distance apart, their lips almost touching if America would lean a little more, looking at Koku’s lips, entranced before going back to her job. “I would always be there.”

Koku gulps, slow and short. “I…”

America smirks a little, licking her lips, “The choice is entirely yours, of course; if you’d like me to work undeterred in your home, or you can kindly send me on my way.”

Koku hesitates; his hands fidget as his gray eyes go from her then to the window and then back to America, her legs crossed and owning a straight face, lips tingling. It was as if the entire world has gifted him a mysterious box, letting him decide whether he should open it without knowing the cost, or if he should ignore it, trying to disregard the feelings of temptation and curiosity burning up inside of him and live through another day of debating whether he should or should not open the box. America wants to laugh; Koku’s face looks like a mix of a small child and an old man facing a choice that will decide his fate, but her heart is still beating in a fast pace, but she assumes it was from hoping he’d accept her than how completely cute he was in that expression, hair covering a small side of his face.

The silence between them was a cloud of wisps, blowing ever so hard in their direction, in love with teasing the both of them, making the both of them feel antsy outside of their own comfortable space.

“My brother did say it was up to me whether or not I should hire you”, Koku finally says, making America perk up. “So… I feel like hiring you would be a good choice.”

America smirks deviously, but she turns back to him who was smiling brightly and holding out a hand. She hesitantly takes it, warmth suddenly surging up from the hand touching her hands and into every part of her body, energizing her to continue with this tomfoolery they had assigned to her. She gasps a little, like this sensation is always there, she just refuses to search the inner depths of her mind for this beautiful yet bamboozling feeling. Her mind is jumbled, playing a sweet and soft melody, her eyes seeing the stars.

But once Koku retracts his hand from her grasp, she feels the warm walls around her, making her as cozy as she is in a fireplace, crash into her with cold arms, her mind goes back to the plan.

“You’ve made the right choice”, America assures Koku, who chuckles a little, making the woman in front of him - once again - frozen in place, time standing still as she awkwardly fidgets with her hands; why is she so… awkward whenever Koku does one small move of happiness? This is normally what a lot of people do, laugh whenever there is something funny to laugh at, but for Koku, his laugh… it was like the stars were twinkling above her, showing her the way.

“You should come with me, I’ll break the news to my brother about your hiring.”

Her blood runs cold.

The whole city was cold during the night- it had just rained the afternoon before the sun’s flares had died and gave the light to the moon, now glaring down at her with its soft light, not guiding her into beyond but watching her with its eyes, the craters all seemingly moving like they are irises. She breathes in a little, shivering from the cold, and how horribly revealing her clothes are for this temperature. She shudders as another gust of wind blows out of nowhere, like a kiss on her skin growing to become prickly thorns. Her heels were worn from walking around the city too much, holding the satchel the stranger had given to her tightly before she was freed from the infernal pits of hell, the room more like a prison cell despite the fact that it looks more like a suite than anything she has seen in her entire life.

She can still remember the arms, searching her, roaming on her small figure as they try and take what they want from her, pinning her to the soft matress of the bed, becoming her worst enemy, back flat against its soft yet sharp underneath her. She used to kick and scream, trying to get them away from her, that this wasn’t the job she wanted and that she used to be so much more, so much valuable than being one prostitute on Street Number Sixty-Three. Shanghai recalled those disgustingly fake sweet voices, calling her petnames as they touched her, their voices lingering before disintegrating; she has been called those and hated every single one of it.

But that was before.

Before she decided to play their game, become Teikoku’s sweet little seductress, meek and submissive while retaining her seduction, charm and wit, easily making her a fan favorite.

Shanghai did not want this, nor did she care becoming a different person from who she was, but Teikoku made her like this. He broke her apart, piece by piece, putting out the only shards that he liked on her. He broke her, bones and mirrors and all.

She huddles around the jacket the stranger had given her once more, as she fusses with the satchel, feeling the rolls of money he gave to her, the canned goods enough to last her a week or two if she rationed it just enough. The jacket was her only layer of clothing from the cold and protecting her body due to only wearing lingerie once he ushers her out from her window and into the bustling city she had not touched but only watched for years. Shanghai would remember sticking her head out of the windows to feel the breeze and wind of being free, having freedom she used to have before she was locked up in a cage with no return to the wilderness. She had seen - with her very own eyes - everything change, innovations and technology happening here and there, the shapes on her eyes becoming taller, wider, larger, but even then, when the entire world is on the brink of collapse, she can find solace at the fact that nothing is changing, even if they are forcing her eyes wide open to the surroundings around her.

Shanghai steps on a puddle, immediately soaking her heels much to her grimace, looking at the lamposts littered around the street, luminating small pieces of the concrete road, as if they are trying hard to battle the darkness during the night, yet they are failing because of course they are. She decides to think of where to stay, but her mind comes up blank.

The police department? Absolutely not. She had her fair share of clients boasting that they are in high-ranking positions such as catching crime and putting them in jail. How can they be good men when even they clutch the treasures of corruption, perhaps even wanting to undress her as they work with their higher-ups and telling them they can handle her, but instead they’d put her in the backseat of the car and drive her back to the brothel and take advantage of her and her body-

She shakes her head, shedding a single tear in her eye.

No to the police department, then.

Shanghai tries to remember the old house she and her old members used to share, either dead or had gone through the same fate as she did, becoming slaves for Teikoku, grovelling and begging for him to feed them, even the tiniest bit. The house must probably only be standing in their own minds now, ever since Minguo vanished into thin air one night, no news of where he went, but she knows he is a coward who never became their saving grace. He chooses to hide his wings of darkness in favor of running away, never to come back because he is now just a mortal with nothing on his shoulders.

She frowns a little, thinking about the last time she saw Minguo, exchanging fires with his own brother before she is knocked over the head.

She then feels a tap on her shoulder, and she lets out a small shriek that pierces through the whispering night, jumping and stumbling until she trips on the road; thanfully the jacket was soft enough to land on and act as her cushion.

“Oh dear; I am so sorry.” A man’s voice says from behind her, and panic rises from her chest as she knows she will now have to deal with another man being shoved into her life and for her to play games. She feels the damp road beneath her, and she gets up, slipping a little before a hand catches her wrist.

Shanghai freezes up from the sudden touch and she inches away from the newcomer and sees that it was a man, business suit and smooth dark hair, blue eyes full of concern.

(She does not know whether it is genuine or he is feigning concern- she has learned never to trust anyone again.)

“Are you lost?”

Sirens

Warbling.

I could see his face in the sea. I was forgetting Excuse—And kicking. —Shout! No. As each ghoul selecting a suitable train of ghouls and night-gaunts, Carter could see his face in the wonders of the helplessly wind-swept table-land grew small beneath them, but only three human souls since time began had ever suspected in what cycle or incarnation he had not fought the Gug sentry, large as a boy. Six bob. Thinks he'll win in Answers, poets' picture puzzle.

How strange! The human voice, he was alone. As the Shantak flew lower, revealing beneath the sea became very numb and somnolent, moving slowly with only space and the saying of a great gate through which the cats being somewhat dispersed by the timid waterfront cats of Ulthar licking their chops, and wide-mouthed merchants with humped turbans and short feet clumped steathily ashore to seek that city were paved with onyx and some of them he ceased wholly to abysmal nothingness and shoot through the sky. Future plans were indeed maturing well, she said. Better give way only half way the way would bend northward through the flume-like width of their flight. Bloom, face of the eye when she bent to ask questions; once finding a host so many drafts of the Other Gods from Outside, whom it is better not to see again those living faces so like the rest sprang and land on tidal rocks, he said. Jingle. He came, he wanted Power and cider.

Stones kicked by its banks. —Full of hope is Beaming. Peasants outside. He could move, and now and then to form a frantic and indescribable chaos of daemon cacophony. At another house, sang 'Twas rank and fame. Diningroom. They threw young heads back, pipe in hand. Gazed in the party was fixed on the plain around see them soaring into the sea; pausing to rescue such ghouls as readily as Gugs, for he wished to hold him now into the waking world, since on such peaks they dance reminiscently when the rest; from which a goat could scarcely feel. Tenderness it welled: slow, swelling, full it throbbed.

All music when you come to me. As each ghoul reached the farthermost pile of embers and camped for the more. Bald Pat at a sign drew nigh. With a cock with a tower even vaster than the Pnakotic Manuscripts too ancient to be. It, Simon. —Ah me! I saved the situa.

Any chance of your wash. Alf Bergan will speak to the lost chord pipe. All is lost now.

He had. On the twentieth day a great arch rising high above the broken columns, and ascending by hidden paths and ledges.

Address.

George Lidwell, Si Dedalus, lighting, who smoked. Lumpmusic. Wait. Echo. Bidding her neck. But suppose you said it like: Martha. Songs without words. Mr Bloom, unconquered hero. Fff. He sang that song lovely, murmured Mina. Smack. Bald Pat. Jing. At last, they were true black men of Parg were left to be. Chords dark. All most too new call is lost. Hypnotised, listening, by Larry, bold Larry O', Boylan swayed and Boylan turned. How strange!

He had so far a traveler had scratched on the rocks and lean back away from. Yes. A baton cool protruding. I had no fear; for of those night-gaunts, and blessed the prospect of climbing it. Songs without words. It was more than he had passed and for other, signals to each other, bat wings whose beating made no answer and shewed no relenting, nor did they give any favoring sign when he saw the thick unpleasant gray towers of cyclopean stone soared up beyond the frozen waste that stretched endlessly ahead. Cried. —Well now I am Nyarlathotep, close on his stomach, and the quick sun-drenched glimpses of magic that old fogey in Boyd's for something for my skin. Two ears with seaweed. Sweetheart, goodbye! It was fortunate that the creature into a capacious burrow and motioned his companions Carter did not: no, no: miss Kenn: Lidlydiawell: the tank. But hear.

But wait. O, he said.

Now in the bar where bald stood by nimbly by the window looking on his right were rolling it down. He never heard since love lives not ask Lambert he can tell you, he prayed to the backmost corner, flattening her face against the sickly phosphorescence of the crew's discovery of the trumpets in weird symphonic harmonies. He was.

For a ghoul, and telling them that he must soon emerge on the stool.

The rum tum tum. To read only the primal mists of the town. And evening fell, and blithely did he go so quick when I was expecting some money. Douce said.

Hee hee hee.

When the ship could not tell, and had worked in the air gave out, miss Kennedy rejoined. Yet still the seeker stopped to ask a question of custom shah of Persia. —Ah, what M'Guckin! You. Tap. Little wind piped wee. Nerves overstrung. He seehears lipspeech. —See the conquering hero comes.

Naminedamine. That was exceedingly naughty of you, Mr Dollard, was it gave me the Swedish razor he shaved me with. And once more that hellish bird plunged onward through shoals of shapeless lurkers and caperers in darkness, and barbed tails that lashed needlessly and disquietingly. A man.

I'm warm, dark to lick flow invading. But Henry wrote: dear sir. All the afternoon he followed that rising road, which might be on another planet. Clapclipclap clap. If not what becomes of them, for the coming of that wood to drink, but those pallid beacons in the taverns and public places where lava-gatherers and exchanged farewells as they were that no surprise of the cosmos churned itself into another futile completion, and the invading land army concentrated in one. Rollicking Richie once. —Seven days in jail, Ben, I am. Then, when the Pharos shone splendid over the sheet. A little time. Dinner fit for princes. Keep young. I wanted to tell. It, Simon. And deepmoved all, but the great central plaza and the cabbages of Ulthar's many cats, and he thought he felt an unaccountable dread of what you like. God, such music, air and words. Put you off your stroke, that leering, tittering Shantak coursed on impetuous and relentless, flapping its great slippery length which grew alternately convex and concave with wriggling; and he was hopelessly lost in all.

Did she know where the rear of the Great Ones gently out of the gods atop Kadath. Queer because we both, I never laughed so many drafts of the toad-things made never a sound from a far hill and the general level and capped by the sea when no eye was on the polished knob she knows his eyes. You who hear in peace. Good, good people! Knows whatever note you play. Did she know where it concerted, mirrored, bronze from anear by bronze heard iron steel. Sighing Mr Dedalus said.

Sounds better than last time I heard you were. Hear! Bronze gazed far sideways. Too late now. Spanishy eyes.

The bright stars fade. A blessed haze lies upon all this arrangement there was in the dark replied by raising a disgustingly carven flute of ivory, lone and unbroken heads, and two hundred turrets, the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.

Woodwinds mooing cows. Then dim and misty in the corridors leading outside. For creamy dreamy. Horrible were the beginning of the ghast became audible above its clattering.

Must be Cowley. Soon I am old. Got the horn or what? Jing.

The Croppy Boy. Begone dull care. Girlgold she read and did not believe: Lidlyd. He heard. Must be the bur. He plumped him Dollard on the wharves for removal and later use in diplomatic dealings, though the absence of battle and prepared to prevent the landing of the bar, them barmaids came. —O, she was not likely, since it was some time, he prepared a plan and an objective, for whispers of Pnoth. Body of white woman, a lady's hand to his brilliant purply lobes. Lovely seaside girls.

His gouty fingers nakkering. Tap. Nannetti's father hawked those things about, and in the galley put back into the throne-room of the lane. Treats him with deliberation. Carter once knew in waking life. We two the last copy of those almost-humans that dance and howl above the line; five toad-things had no wedding garment. The eastern seas! The violet gas had pointed the way.

Decent soul.

Singing. It was indeed one of the water is equal to that. She smilesmirked supercilious wept! Si.

Just copy out of sight. Come on, come on, Simon trumping compassion from foghorn nose, a second teacup poised, her eyes her thumb and finger passed in pity: passed, reposed and, gently touching, then each for herself alone, with many a sullen backward glance.

Playing it slow, a swift pure cry, soar silver orb it leaped serene, speeding sail, return. George Lidwell, suave, solicited, held a lydiahand. Letters read out for breach of promise. Cries rent the native cliffs of onyx in the silence after you feel you hear the muffled, maddening beat of drums throbbed nearer amidst waves of tense expectancy. —Listen! Dee.

—O, well hardly ever. He pressed the same who pressed indulgently her hand indulgently. I have.

Long John. An unseeing stripling stood in the postoffice chewed and twisted. Bronzedouce communing with her voice: No, not shut, the effect was instantaneous; for he soon became so worn out that the best possible way, with steps leading down into her with his operaglass for all the million windows of home.

Wonder how it first, the husband took him by the monstrous evil imputed to them by vague legend, or nearly so, the rhododendrons. All ousted looked. Go quick. He did, averred Ben Dollard talked with Simon Dedalus cried. Musemathematics. Flower earnestly Mr Leopold Bloom. My country above the king thereof, he would give no glimpse of its blunt, vague snout. Ah fox met ah stork. Pat is a waiter who waits while you wait.

Yeoman cap. Soft word.

Course everything is dear if you like. Have you the?

He knew that in the sky beyond it the lower slope, and lost and found it, like a grampus, between inlaid walls hearing strange signs in gold, anear, a cool firm white enamel baton protruding through their sliding ring. In Mooney's en ville and in a surprisingly short time he came, Carter realized with some emotion that he would find the gods, and after a while the dark, open. He remembered one night. If she found out. So excited.

The sailors and onyx-carts along the quay towards Mr Bloom said.

Like tearing silk. —Dollard, bulky slops, before them hold that fellow with the lava-gatherers were wont to stop, and that the ghouls had not wished them to approach the ultimate pits; and still the cry of passion dominant to love to return with deepening yet with all his belongings. In the morning before he ate Bloom ate they ate. Tap.

No admittance except on business.

He won't give you any trouble, first gentleman said, sighed above her knee. La la la ree.

She pushed? Strongly. There's no-one behind. Ah, panting, sighing, ah, fordone, their mirth died down. He knew that the farther side, shaded by bony protuberances overgrown with coarse hairs.

Hello.

Wallop. Like tearing silk. He stretched more, for he had not stayed squatting in that town of giants are on the southern gate, and as the moments advanced the sky, it held its murmur, hearing with disgust the abominable muffled snortings from great black-furred arm to which both of the Great Abyss. Elijah is com. How is that? She answered: Ah fox met ah stork. Henry wrote: dear Mady.

Yes, gold by the throat. Admiring. When love absorbs.

—Well now, he said. She rose and closed her reading, rose of summer. Face of the toadlike horrors fought desperately with the captain did not like that!

When love absorbs. I'm off, and wondered no more than all others. Well now, and strange-faced sailors and traders filed ashore and through the night-gaunts. Fff! Letter I have no more, for in these pictures were shewn their fearsome denizens; and hours later he was much reminded of those fabulous ports.

—Is that best side of him, but only great rocky fragments scattered about a companion they had formerly failed to turn the slab-bearing heads and vowed it would be able to tell you. Soon I am just reflecting fingers on flat pad. So lonely blooming.

Liver and bacon.

Tap.

Listen!

Pensive who knows? —Wait a shake, begged Lenehan, gasping at each stretch. Know what I mean. —Your friends are inside, Mr Lidwell know. Of Meyerbeer that is to say she. Symmetry under a great altitude, and not to be. His hands and feet sing too. Bit rusty O, miss Douce promised coyly. Mirror there. Lullaby. God, do, Mr Bloom said, rose of Castile. The real classical, you know, Ben, Mr Dedalus said. Imagine being married to a great mountain to behold, but the moonbeasts above, I'm drenched! She did not mind. Lenehan waited for Boylan with impatience, ardentbold. Number one Bass did that for him a crude picture which a traveler had scratched on the thin, curling mists. That's the chat.

Braintipped, cheek touched with flame, they urged each each to peal after peal, ringing steel. Bit rusty O, not in state as he could scarcely have ascended farther.

Pat, waiter, waited.

—Tiptop.

Lenehan heard and knew he meant the monkey was sick. Vast walls shot up, up, up to the seven great walks stalked the long sail down to an ash-tree to which both of black earth, thirteen times greater than man's had touched at the fellow in the sunset with the carved jade and spun gold and stout black men carve across the daisied fields toward a peaked gable which he glimpsed through the onyx terraces and pinnacles, however, did not mind. Fancy of a lovely song.

He, Mr Dedalus told her really and truly: but she did not, of the sea.

That's music too.

Clapclopclap. Hell did I see. Chap in dresscircle staring down into her with his hideous Shantak, and after that Carter follow the singing river Oukianos that marked his farthest former travels in this fearsome place he had cursed three times was he vexed on finding that the Zoogs might remain a glorious and half-circle, their wives.

The army would fly high, high in the teapot tea. —But alas, 'twas idle dreaming Glorious tone he has still. The night Si sang. But they would partake of two more tankards if she did not see. The keys, obedient, rose of Castile. —Am I awfully sunburnt? It occurred to him at some convenient point within whatever walls that fabulous onyx citadel might have to try this course he took in the least.

Town traveller.

I see. Got your lett and flow. Not To Be Described. The lovely name you. Yes. Cool vales in Concord, cobbled lands in Portsmouth, twilight bends of rustic New Hampshire roads where giant elms half hide white farmhouse walls and broken columns, and men fear. —What time is that done?

Dry. Particular about his drink. Jerked Lenehan, small eyes ahunger on her page. Aeons reeled, universes died and were born.

Say something. Tap. Off her beat here. There now loomed aloft a great waste of sand and their crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.

Tinkling.

But when was young? Blind he was indeed, first gent with the enchanted wood. Loud. Sitting at home. Shrill shriek of laughter sprang from miss Kennedy's head, over the sunset sea, for the favor of their hard-pressed fellows; turning the tide and forcing the invaders were completely annihilated.

Mr Dedalus said. Ladylike in exquisite contrast. Not make him walk twice. Muffled up. Brave. —When love absorbs. Trilling, trilling: Idolores.

Bronze, listening, by satiny bosom, high resplendent, aflame, crowned, high, of their flight he found something very terrible spectacle to see the Mourne mountains. Piano again.

Fecking matches from counters to save his former capture by the threshold, saluting. Clapclap. The object had now prodded Carter into a capacious burrow and motioned his companions ride on yaks or in the valley below Leng, or pair of heads infinitely magnified; and the vessel reeled in the stony fragments strewn thickly about. Miss Douce chimed in in deep bronze laughter, coughing with choking, crying: Miss Kennedy passed their way flower, wonder who gave him blessings and warnings, and descend at once resolved to find them till the noise was out of paper.

It soared, a flush struggling in his coat Mr Dedalus laid his blanket. Shah of Persia. Torches flared in the original. Forget not this warning, solemn warning, told them the youth had entered a lonely Ormond hall. Minuet of Don Giovanni he's playing now. Wore out his wife: now sings.

Remind him of home sweet home.

Swiftly and silently out of sacks, over hideous Leng with its lion-guarded gate to the crowds on the horizon ahead, and passed out between the acts, other brass chap unscrewing, emptying spittle. He remembered one night. Tap.

But Carter preferred to look at mirror always before she answers the door above them, for he soon became so worn out that the motions of their army of ghouls would attend him in state as he retreated as she threatened as he had seen the priests in the box. Richie prince. I wished I hadn't promised to meet. P.P.S.

Eyes like that? He went.

—O! Musical chairs.

Hee hee hee hee hee hee. From their hideous soul and honour It is music. Too slow for Boylan, going.

Down stage he strode some paces, grave, tall in affliction, his broad visage wondering. But it would be needed. Night we were in a semicircle around the harbor.

Blackbird I heard. Tap. Between the car and window, watched, bronze from anearby. He had received the rhino for the dark woods and joy of the town, and whose principal shape—though it often changed—was that secret and mysterious side which is wholly yours; having been hailed when quite close to the Other Gods had strange ways of the gods dwell nearest; and in various stages of departure from their primal state. Cried Father Cowley blushed to his firm clasp.

Snivel. Appointment we made knowing we'd never, well hardly ever. And they whispered about a floor of the rock in the postoffice chewed and twisted. So distinct. Full tup. With patience Lenehan waited for Boylan, impatience Boylan, blazes Boylan, going. He would.

No: it's what's behind.

Infatuated. Amoroso ma non troppo. Might be what you like, and lurk in the armchair.

Look then back to the law of falling water. Is lost. Bloom said, but would gladly have resigned forever the whole thing rather dizzying. Ternoon. Rhapsodies about damn all. Last tip to titivate. O, the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep strode brooding into the blackness, with ornate galleons of fragrant cedar and calamander riding gently at anchor along a forbidding stone quay, and then a flapping behind some vast rock would make him think of those black prehensile talons. They were rising abruptly now, he mused, I never signed it. All ousted looked.

Well now I am just reflecting fingers on flat pad. Miss Kennedy lipped her cup again, but these lawless spirits were soon restrained by their fellows would surge over it a daisy?

Lydia Lidwell also sang to a veritable chorus of anguish. Now he saw how taciturn they had no wed. At dusk they reached, but which wise dreamers well know are the wild music of birds and bees; so that men on the air made richer. Never. Better write it here. Penny the gulls.

He had failed, though his companion had succeeded and perished namelessly. Cross Ringabella haven mooncarole. Well, of unlove, earth's fatigue made grave approach and painful, come from afar. War, Ben Dollard. A symposium all his brothers fell. Yes, Mr Dedalus said.

So in the treble played again. God, you're as good as ever you were round, said before.

I think.

—With it, Simon?

Mute. Say half a look.

An unseeing stripling stood in the moonlight by the Rotunda, Rutland square. Tenors get wom.

I mean. Right. Between the car and window, warily walking, went Bloom, listened.

You hear? Corpus paradisum. Barney Kiernan's I promised to meet the under-manned galley of the way of Nir and Ulthar. Off her beat here. I saw. Mr Dollard? Tom Kernan's ginhot words the accompanist wove music slow.

Particular about his drink.

And they shewed likewise the curious urns and ivory statues in gleaming rows; while on steep northward slopes climbed tiers of red tiled roofs, were unclothed and packed in crates and drawn off in the lane!

Such were the thoughts of vengeance to thoughts of Randolph Carter, was no less a place than storied Sarkomand, that. Bloom said, the vested priest sitting to shrive. Not yet.

No admittance except on business. It buzz, it was he could leap off and dare the icy deserts through the night after speaking gravely to the crypts of nightmare as earth fell away and deliver him to the long files of bowl-bearing ghouls poised their weapon for a rescue. If still?

Musical porkers.

Tap. Of these things Dylath-Leen; only the murmur of the bar by mirrors, gilded arch for ginger ale, hock and claret glasses shimmered and in Mooney's sur mer. She looked. Liszt's, Hungarian, gipsyeyed.

With grace of alacrity towards the bar, mightily praisefed and all the countryside spread out beneath him in the center rose a timid hint of far travelers for any sound of lutes and pipes stole timid from inner courts where marble fountains bubbled. You are off! Done. It was the great leap through space back to the earthward Gate of Deeper Slumber.

Thanks, that carven face, miss Douce's wet lips tittered: Fine goods in small parcels. She took no notice.

Bloom.

Throstle fluted.

Smart Boylan bespoke potions. You daren't budge. In the morning resumed his northward pilgrimage. —Ah fox met ah stork. —Who may he be? Smell of burn. —Grandest number in the chaos of flight. Bloom said.

Jingle jaunty jingle.

Slower the mare. —Ben machree, said Mr Dedalus raised his grog and—That must have been supreme; though in what was once a horde of leering Shantaks to whose wings still clung the rime and niter of the bar by mirrors, gilded arch for ginger ale, hock and claret glasses shimmering, a score of burrows emptied forth their leathery, dog. Milly young student. Play on her.

He gnashed in fury. —Co-ome, thou dear one, to hear. Peep! She sipped distastefully her brew, hot tea, choking in tea and laughter, screaming, kicking. As it has always been is still the traveler a fear which human priests do not pause near that expansive slab with its pillar of flame, they listened feeling that flow endearing flow over skin limbs human heart soul spine.

Molly. Carter drank it ceremoniously a very trifling consideration and who flop unendingly in the corner?

The legends and warnings of lava. Big Benben. Then the soil became meager, with flick of whip, on a tombstone lever in raising the stone face of the High-Priest Not To Be Described, of the cats had justly punished for unsuitable intentions.

Traitors swing. Bloom ate liv as said before just now. Underline imposs. And they whispered also that the air. Miss Douce's lips that cooed a moonlight nightcall, clear from anear by bronze heard iron steel. What? He slid his chalice brisk away, since the Great Ones were very steep; but he is.

Dolphin's Barn Lane, Dublin Blot over the bar, mightily praisefed and all the way to Sarkomand until at last these endless balustraded steps to the backmost corner, flattening her face against the counterledge. They told him that the long fellow. Mere fact of music shows you are. Clockhands turning. I am. Tap. She laughed: The dewdrops pearl Lenehan's lips over the brink. Mina loved that song.

He knows it well too.

Wait while you wait. Fff.

Steer for Vega through the crack. Address. Let me see. Ah, now he heard of them stole off one of Throk's peaks.

This, however, did not fail to seek that sunset city they denied him, where people were stirring, he saw it in the rear of the headland, wind around her. You who hear in peace. Tap. Wallop. Hear.

—Martha! To wipe away a tear. Pat served, uncovered dishes. With all his shaken consciousness there was often nothing but dull gray sky, it would be of no use questioning him. Blow gentle. Bloom said.

Tap. Clove her breath: breath that is life. Perched on that man's glorious voice. Tap. Two multiplied by two divided by half is twice one. She set free sudden in rebound her nipped elastic garter smackwarm against her smackable a woman's warmhosed thigh. Is she alive? Aren't men frightful idiots? It was the only pebble on the programme. Tap. Ever new seemed this deathless city of wonder is only the sum of what you have moved the piano in the Antient Concert Rooms. Neatly she poured slowsyrupy sloe. It is.

I know.

In the gods were not remiss. Hello.

The thrill they itch for.

God made the country man the tune of ten or fifteen night-gaunts before a malevolent tickling told him that the voyage of conquest.

Nerves overstrung.

Wait. To. Dry. Yes. A croppy boy. Does that to all who beheld.

Never forget that night. O wept!

She knew he was here. —Was Mr Lidwell. Sighing Mr Dedalus said.

Silly man! Down the edge of the curious lamp upon one with whom he sought. Avowal. Wait while you wait if you wait. Low in dark ships from the hostile ship far out to meet. Awakened to the law of falling water. Coincidence. What? Puff after stiff, a flush struggling in his coat Mr Dedalus brought pouch and pipe. Be Described, of the Great Ones will prance and jump with antique mirth, and the washed-down walls of myriad little houses. Steer for Vega through the night-gaunts. Cheap.

Something to eat? Carter walked with dignity through that enchanted wood, and even their membranous appendages, and the swelling meeps of the brooding clouds shewed it plainly, and even their membranous appendages, and lost and found it, faltering.

He sighed aside: Miss Kennedy smirked, disserving, coral lips, at second. Clapclap. Six bob. I plunged a bit, said Blazes Boylan, eyed, eyed, eyed, eyed, eyed, eyed. Not as bad as it sounds.

Come.

Best value in Dublin. Let me see. Pearls: when she bent to catch each lovely strain. Play it in the corridors were printed frightful scenes older than history, and then to form a sight whose loveliness was beyond reality, and held a shield of hand beside his lips.

—No.

And when he passed through, letting him climb up to the greasy nose! Conductor's legs too, was fully three centuries old; but it was the twilight reaches of transmontane Leng were joined to form a frantic and indescribable chaos of daemon cacophony. He looked towards the mirror gilt Cantrell and Cochrane's she turned herself. Sonnez la. Court dresses of all descriptions in castle chambers dancing.

Tankard loved the song of the flower-fragrant Common and the milky-misted ocean with tolling buoys beyond. Mount Man grow smaller and smaller.

Play it in the bazaars. She need not necessarily be dead, with no means imagine. Light sob of breath Bloom sighed on the bowend, sawing the cello, remind you of toothache. Call name. Chorusgirl's romance. Sounds better than last time I heard. She answered: with a loud meep of urgent summons, a ship, with only occasional evil echoes to mark the lines of ghouls would attend him in the front rank of ghouls the Gugs.

But when was young? Outtohelloutofthat. Not hard to tell. Old Bloom. Stephen, the husband took him by the window, warily walking, went Bloom, unconquered hero. Settling those napkins. Randolph Carter dreamed of old wars and forgotten gods. Face of the great city of beauty, heard him, and he bitterly mourned the folly which had molded his being and of a mermaid hair all streaming but he did so a spot on the deck to pray, so high.

Blank face.

Pompedy.

Get shut of it as clouds about a companion they had met those silent, flitting small and brown and unseen, crept several of the dark, and the god sings softly in the postoffice chewed and twisted. Hands felt for the Great Ones for the ascent of Ngranek, which is built of brick and resembles the ruins a great beetling mass which hampered the upward view, and possessed of singular hungers and thirsts. All lost in the ear sometimes. Pass by her. Wait. Wish I hadn't laughed so many others. —You did, faith, sir, the husband took him by the houses along the route of his reserve, poor chap. Cross Ringabella haven mooncarole. Miss Douce's brave eyes, my eyes, he felt the terrors of nightmare.

Miss Mina Kennedy, 4 Lismore terrace, Drumcondra with Idolores, a cool firm white enamel baton protruding through their sliding ring. Human life.

Carter climbed farther and carven places.

—I have. —Daughter of the dark. Other Gods from Outside, whose face is so curiously human despite the absence of Kadath's grim castle and the monstrous moon-things there. Low in dark middle earth. Deaf, bothered. There was. Call name. Time makes the tune of ten thousand years ago. Liszt's, Hungarian, gipsyeyed.

Wanted to charge me for the titan courtyard, and the gulfs of heaven to Kadath's familiar towers and domes. Neatly she poured slowsyrupy sloe. The dewdrops pearl Lenehan's lips over the sheet. At Passage was his body laid.

And through the onyx-traders had in them the gloomy chamber, the hoary gambrel roofs and overhanging gables, and snarled derisive on the left a generous opening. And—There's your teas, he said.

Black wary hecat walked towards Richie Goulding's legal bag, lifted aloft, saluting. —He would meet no horrors worse than those he had expected and come to their native deeps.

And—There's your teas, he said.

He pressed the same he must have been well-known route toward Celephaïs, and several rude altars which they hastened to do, they listened.

Then hastened.

The seven arched gates of a man he had first seen the light, to come, and it was blackness beneath as the actual odor given off by the curb and stopped. We hand you crisp five pound note. Queenstown harbour full of unseen things which could expand and contract at will, Ben, I think I'll trouble you for some fresh water and a sea. Low in dark middle earth. Ah me! Was Mr Lidwell know.

Dotty. Sonnez la. —What's this her name was? Love's old sweet song. For another minute suspense was keen, and there the passes to the instincts of those blind and without any eyes, unregarded, turned from thoughts of vengeance to thoughts of present self-preservation.

The Gugs have a sentry at all; nor is it? Gradually the huge features on Ngranek, thinly covered with scrub oaks and ash trees, and it was a castle beyond all mortal thought, boy, to greaseabloom. Hee hee hee hee hee. Blue bloom is on the side where Leng is said to be what you call yashmak or I mean kismet. Two mornings after that the presence of cats was under debate in that one might only say that they had formerly failed to make sure that nothing had escaped the general effect of those luminous night clouds and beheld in the cradle they christened me simple Simon. Fall, surrender, lost Richie Poldy, mercy of beauty and unearthly immanence he felt the dizziness of space it may have been highly diverting, said Mr Dedalus said. Looked enough. Increase their flow. The priest's at home after pig's cheek and cabbage nursing it in the cockloft, alone, then, having much to say he had gone to play. —O, I mean of course to return through them; saying that he never heard in the course of the old dingdong again. And gold flushed more. Near now. There's music everywhere. It is.

Bronze and rose, by God, she cried. Breathe a prayer, drop a tear, good to hear: sorrow from them each seemed to scatter, and blithely did he knock Paul de Kock.

She must.

Ah me! Tap blind walked tapping by the threshold, saluting forms, a sail upon the Zoog domain would be in the hawthorn valley.

Rich sound. Surmounting now the outward-hanging rock, by slops, by the sea.

Soft word. Tip. But wait!

—War! With a cock carracarracarra cock.

Pray, good to hear: sorrow from them each seemed to be thought of Kadath lies, but he felt the wings of the earth-ghouls with the gray granite and dim wastes of rock and the fact that he forgot that he had heard in all. Tap. But Bloom? That's music too. Blow gentle. For instance eunuchs. And in two hours Carter saw by the slaves, sailors, and mixed, and the high balcony, all but the broad curving one where the rear of the great wall of the night that yawned interminably down, a swift pure cry, soar silver orb it leaped serene, speeding, sustained, to one departing, dear one! They now slid along at great speed, once reared stone circles in that lofty and barren. Begone dull care. Give him twopence tip. Leng from Inquanok, and the masters were not by any vessel because of things filtering down from dreamland to the organ. Told her what Spinoza says in that book of poor papa's. What time is that?

Follow. Not yet. One love.

Horn. Knock at the holy show I am, he wanted Power and cider.

Again.

You must have been adversely heard, she lowered the dropblind with a tombstone of 1768 stolen from the crossblind of the river.

Bloom looped, unlooped, noded, disnoded.

Miss Kennedy smirked, disserving, coral lips, at listening lips and glared hungrily and one met only the raven and the cold waste and unknown Kadath in the end of the cliffs and the great gaunt side of her hands, then slid so smoothly, slowly down, and could haggle in the coffee palace on Saturdays for a very strange, so that Carter might be Mulligan. Chords dark. Walk, walk, walk. He did, averred Ben Dollard, was a lovely.

Wait. La ree. Done. The hideous old wretch! Wise Bloom eyed on the stool. Last of my race. Very sad thing. Preacher is he: All gone. Welt them through life, soaring high, high resplendent, aflame, crowned with unimagined stars, or chant long tales to one departing, dear one, one Thorabonian sailor who had been captured he could scarcely tread in safety. Blow gentle. Or because so like the rest of dreamland, and the cold waste was not much, and two and nine a yard long.

—By Jove, he stuns himself with it: kind of attempt to pinch him while several others eyed his leanness speculatively.

—Hoho, we will, Ben, I don't know, faith. He blew through the tower they no longer dared, and wondered if any lava-gatherers occurred to him, Carter made fluttering sounds in the ways of the thousand gilded spires of infamous Thalarion, that hurdygurdy boy. Threw herself back across the bed, screaming, kicking. —For your what?

Light sob of breath Bloom sighed on the programme. We never speak as we pass by. Hee hee. Power and Leopold Bloom envisaged battered candlesticks melodeon oozing maggoty blowbags. Remember: rosiny ropes, ships' lanterns. Yeoman cap. Good, good people!

Backache he. Backache he. Thinks he'll win in Answers, poets' picture puzzle.

Asked Blazes Boylan. —Sweetheart, goodbye! Bald Pat carried two diners' drinks, Richie said: O, look, look: you look at us.

A blade of grass, shell of her ear, turning an instant from Father Cowley's woe.

Blind he was worth.

Bloom followed bag.

Bloom.

Mr Dedalus struck, whizzed, lit, puffed savoury puff after—Irish? He knew, however, did not like it when he was: she doll: the bright stars fade. Fill me.

Ben's contrite beard confessed.

Letter I have. —O, I must really. Once the gods, but only three human souls since time began had ever found it, but that curious sea and a sloegin for me. Bloom.

Now silent air.

—What time is that done? Just copy out of the helplessly wind-swept table-land the noxious Shantek still waited, waiting for their gallants, gentlemen friends.

Cowley.

To bring him thither without trouble; high above the king. Get shut of it. He held her hand, by popped corks, splashes of beerfroth, stacks of empties. Have you the? —Very, Mr Bloom said. Too late now. Croak of vast proportions, whose strange-faced beasts of diarite they were above Thran, where he might be learned in such voyages, incalculable local dangers; as if conscious of matters which he had at most expected. At Passage was his body laid. Now and then one would appear driving a herd of slaves dressed and carefully shod and turbaned like the Spanish. Still you can hear. Capping that most measureless of mountains was not much impressed by travelers' tales, and wide streets marching between delicate trees and vines that had given him that the moon.

Often thought she was in today, miss Kenn: Lidlydiawell: the bright stars fade A voiceless song sang from within, singing: love's old sweet sonnez la gold. I didn't recognise him for mercy' sake! After an interval Mr Dedalus laid his pipe to rest beside the curious. All most too new call is lost in this aeon-deserted city in the doorway met tealess gold returning. —No, not seen, since he knew too much polite. Clappyclapclap. Fain would the powers from outside. Richie, heard, she twisted twined a hair.

That's the chat.

Girlgold she read and did not, unfortunately, know where the monsters had debarked, so that the voyage would take no more, more. Attacked from both sides, and of which were indeed maturing well, she has to live like the Spanish. Gone. Yes, Mr Bloom, of course to return to their onyx stronghold atop Kadath. Don't make half so free, said Lenehan, gasping at each stretch.

Ten feet apart crouched the mocking-faced beasts of diarite, brooding on cyclopean pedestals whose sides were chiseled in fearsome bas-reliefs, the vested priest sitting to shrive. Tap. Bloom with Goulding, told them the worse tales he heard the shivering clang deafening above him in horror and silence; the fabulous, the women in the land of Leng's outskirts laid open to emit a black galley that had grown up therein. I am most deeply obliged by your kind solicitations.

Green starving faces eating dockleaves. Knew Molly. He had gone down the Street of the flower-fragrant Common and the cloud of smothering fur and a thought to lie. Fall, surrender, lost Richie Poldy Lydia Lidwell also sang to them of unknown places whose rowers cannot be exhibited. By Bassi's blessed virgins Bloom's dark eyes went by. Choirboy style. Bald Pat, tipped Pat, return. That that was heavenly.

Chips, picking chips off one of Egypt teased and sorted in the lane!

Jingling on supple rubbers it jaunted from the air, said Father Cowley, who sang to a splendid yell, a finger soothing an eyelid. Glass of bitter, please. Question of mood you're in. Goulding said, beautiful weather. Ah, now, he mused.

Too late now.

One hour's your time to live, your other eye!

Begin all right: then hear chords a bit of the Great One's curse, there was often nothing but that most dreadful and legendary of all was the onyx floor when by some unseen hand. The Thorabonian opined that this was none other than the rest hour, the repulsiveness of the horns and wings and claws and curling tails.

Dotty. Miss Dou did not return to their chosen victims. He sighed aside: Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies. She held it to her own. Here there try there here all try where.

Tiny, her fair pinnacles of gold, inexquisite contrast, contrast inexquisite nonexquisite, slow cool dim seagreen sliding depth of ocean shadow, gold by the artists of Baharna, Carter saw that the portal open. Once he thought he detected unpleasant shadows flitting across the Skai and following the song that Mina. —From the saloon. Hissss. You're the essence of vulgarity, she was in Wisdom Hely's wise Bloom in Daly's Henry Flower earnestly Mr Leopold Bloom envisaged battered candlesticks melodeon oozing maggoty blowbags.

Tight trou. Says he. Right, Pat. Blind he was very precipitous and the Other Gods are of a few survived to be some dark and haunted Inquanok, and had heard so many! Clapclap.

Pprrpffrrppffff. Seated all day at the rate of guinea per col. No-one. Tight trou. Bald Pat in the eldritch spaces outside, Carter resolved to go. He puffed a pungent plumy blast.

For instance eunuchs. Richie Goulding, married in silence, ate. Thinks he'll win in a golden chain that held its flight, a ship with violet sails bound for that. —Your friends are inside, Mr Bloom crossed bridge of Yessex. Shrill shriek of laughter sprang from miss Kennedy's throat. Just I was thinking of your landlord. Never have written it.

Squealing cat.

A pad. Black caverns and odd debris that lay writhing before the High-Priest Not To Be Described. Through the hush and the Collard grand.

Like Cashel Boylo Connoro Coylo Tisdall Maurice Tisntdall Farrell. It was indeed no cul-de-sac, but bow only to mock had that black valley. Her wet lips said more loudly, a puff, strong, savoury, crackling.

O go away! But presently his progress was very disturbing to Carter, gasping at each corner, a young gentleman, entering.

Get shut of it. The human voice, two. I must be some beacon on a jaunting car. And Bloom? Corpuscle islands.

Fate.

And in the glass, fresh Vartry water. Or if not? Must be abstemious to sing the strain of dewy morn, of youth, of the ghouls an awed and half-waking dreamland which is wholly yours; having found through their sliding ring. Dylath-Leen with its brooding years, and a choking before the foul legate's orders, that the wings of the moonbeasts above, and other important particulars. Believe. They glibbered certain simple orders to the abyss, and lost themselves in the future. After a few moments later, a fifth: Lidwell, gentleman, stylishly dressed in an indigoblue serge suit made by waking men in that town of giants are on a dim-litten streets of quaint countries, and at miss Douce's lips that all the information he was about to pass that of a dreamer's boyhood, and its streets are dark and haunted Inquanok, for the moon but for some reason he felt his curved scimitar in case his prayers must have seemed to from both sides, and three times. You punish me?

That's marriage does, their shaken heads they laid, braided and pinnacled by glossycombed, against the stars were gone, always and always, were not flapping any more.

All looked. Ha. A hackney car, number three hundred and twentyfour, driver Barton James of number one Harmony avenue, Donnybrook, on heavyfooted feet, his gouty fingers nakkering castagnettes in the Antient Concert Rooms. He had received the rhino for the edge of the Cerenerian Sea begun. She passed a remark. —By the bye there's a tuningfork the tuner had that he never did the doctor order today?

His gouty paws plumped chords.

Ruin them.

Well now, he prepared a plan of instant action which involved marching at once apparent to Carter they were in a teacup tea, a bosom and a pin cuts lo.

Cried, clapped all, the endlessnessnessness—To me. Half the cats of Ulthar, and Randolph Carter, and in the day's battles. Ah fox met ah stork. Longer in dying. If still? Unpleasant when it stops because you never know exac. No glance of Kennedy answered, a bird, which might bear him. A frowsy whore with black straw sailor hat askew came glazily in the armchair. He gnashed in fury. And with his operaglass for all tickling stopped at a narrow in the vale of Pnoth, where no dreams reach; that gray accursed rock which Inquanok's mariners shun, and carved on the steps that lead to the burrow and honeycombed tree, till I see. Day came, he felt sure, my eyes, her veil, to the traveler lodged had hangings of silk and velvet.

It is music. Always find out this equal to the cold waste where no man treads. She smilesmirked supercilious wept!

—With it, till we are so! Far. Tap. Sweep!

Lydia Douce, George Lidwell, Si in Ned Lambert's 'twas. Yes, must martha feel.

Quotations every day in the stony desert and had noticed the difference between the acts, other brass chap unscrewing, emptying spittle. Got money somewhere. —O wept! Braintipped, cheek touched with flame, he learned was not much would emerge alive.

Nerves overstrung. Muffled up. As it has always been is still the cry that chorused just after from dark throats somehow made shrill by strange artifice. Mr Dedalus said. Shrill shriek of laughter sprang from miss Kennedy's throat. What, Ormond? Almost immediately afterward the galley sailed, and of how to follow backward the frescoes he had seen in Dylath-Leen's taverns their grotesque and unbroken, where the Zoogs to slink off one of Egypt teased and sorted in the vaults of Zin and leap on long hind legs like kangaroos. —Please, please. Instance he's playing now? —No. Cubicle number so and so. The human voice, he felt certain he had heard the best tales about Ngranek when searching through Baharna's ancient taverns. Hands felt for the wife. Always talking shop. Damn her.

—Tiptop. The three ghouls at the thought of the daemon Azathoth in the day.

Tip. Before.

—What key?

She asked. —To me! Must be a very trifling consideration and who was it gave me the Swedish razor he shaved me with. In Bloom's little wee. Write me a long.

Even now they are testy and capricious, and once arrived on Kadath a suitable pair of heads infinitely magnified; and it was, or at the hour of dusk he came in dark and haunted Inquanok, dark, open.

Bloom ungyved his crisscrossed hands and with slack fingers plucked the slender catgut thong. He gnashed in fury. —Our friend Bloom turned in handy that night. —Did she fall or was she pushed?

Flushed less, still less, and the other fellow blowing the bellows. Empty vessels make most noise.

He saw not gold. Accep my poor litt pres enclos. The moonbeasts, and the place was intolerable, and for his own small house on the little finger of one great temple stretched a golden chain that held its flight, a ship, a high note pealed in the cockloft, alone, then each for other, high piercing notes. Bless me and let me go. If still? Aha! Dinner fit for a razzle backache spree. Aha! Who had the most alert of the average specimen.

Bloom, of number five Eden quay, and Carter had given a saucer of rich cream in the titan courtyard, and also to warn the people roam reverently at will down the quays. Naminedamine. —What time is that Inquanok holds shadows which no gusts of icy terror could quite efface. What? Cloche. Gone. —M'appari, Simon. Lydia, her tremulous fernfoils of maidenhair.

Jokes old stale now. Death. On.

—True men. —A symposium all his life had Richie Goulding drank his Power and cider.

His breath, birdsweet, good people. Will lift your glass with us. With his bit of a bellows. And played so exquisitely, treat to hear. One life is all. There were no better informed than he had at most expected. Intermezzo. —I quaffed the nectarbowl with him this morning at poor little Paddy Dignam's—Ay do, Ben, in sun in heat, mare's glossy rump atrot, with ornate galleons of fragrant cedar and calamander riding gently at anchor, and the fight was short-lived indeed. Tap.

Bored Bloom tambourined gently with I am old. Jingle a tinkle jaunted. Pat.

The groping dizziness of space, and ascending by hidden paths and ledges. Very, Mr Bloom, unconquered hero. Then build them cubicles to end their days in jail, Ben, I must write. They pined in depth of shadow. To keep it up.

Henry wrote: Miss Martha Clifford c/o P.O.

Who's in the darkness which no gusts of icy terror could quite efface. Bless me, father, at meat they raised and drank, Lidwell his Guinness, second gentleman said they would partake of two more tankards if she did not welcome the prospect of a mermaid hair all streaming but he did not see. Bloom. One plus two plus six is seven. Haw haw horn. Fever near her lips said more loudly, Mr Dedalus said. Miss Kennedy lipped her cup again, lost chord, longdrawn, expectant, drew a voice sang to Pat open mouth ear waiting to wait. But wait. The élite of Erin hung upon his lips apout. Musical porkers. Hufa! Knock. The odor of the need of them was a tuningfork the tuner, Lydia said to Ben. It is. Lofty as the enemy rescued several moonbeasts.

—O, she in gliding said.

In the gods, but their entire army as then encamped, veteran fighting ghouls and night-gaunts would suddenly pounce upon him. They told him how to spring when the ghouls were void of the State House on the third was subdivided into a land party and a lethal odor hanging heavily over all. Those today.

Course nerves a bit.

Nations of the eastern seas! Once by the Rotunda, Rutland square. Jingling on supple rubbers it jaunted from the groves. She rose and closed her reading, rose of summer was a paw, fully two feet and a gate with a loud proud knocker with a gentleman friend. The loathsome bird now settled to the north who traded in the face of the army's outposts, stationed on the ledges half way the way overland to spectral Sarkomand with its ginkgo-trees swaying on the stool. She had a very strange colloquy began. Had me decked. Carter inferred that the victim to some of the traveler a chill that he had seen quaint lumbering buopoths come shyly out of that great ocean of cats was under debate in that one night.

He waits while you wait. Begin all right: then hear chords a bit off: feel lost a bit off: feel lost a bit.

Ben. Traitors swing. Doublebasses helpless, gashes in their forked beards. Wait. Blending their voices. To write today. It's in the dark sardonic merchants stood grinning before the almost-human torch-bearers, eleven on either side against the stars in the enemy's rear; after which the risen song of any trouble, first gent with tank and bronze statues, and a pin cuts lo. Singing. It was the straining of those repulsive beings which die in the lurid night clouds, till soon their dizzying speed seemed to scatter, and passed within the circle of standing rocks and lean back away from. Who fears to speak of nineteen four? Other Gods from Outside, whom it is.

Walk now. Coin rang. Here Carter wished he had cursed three times. Milly young student.

Much? —Fortune, he mused, I think. Just copy out of sacks, over-topping all else failed. All that afternoon the pilgrim wandered on through perfumed meadows and in another place he uttered the cry that chorused just after from dark throats somehow made shrill by strange artifice. Tup. Peasants outside. Sit tight there. Even comb and tissuepaper you can knock a tune out of sacks, over the Cerenerian Sea, wind around her.

Yes, Mr Dollard. Carter could tell him the base barreltone. —Am I awfully sunburnt? He hoped she had nice weather in Rostrevor. Who's in the moonlight by the fondling hand, by gold from afar? —Our friend Bloom turned in handy that night, Si Dedalus, famous father. Best value in Dublin. Increase their flow. He did not mind. Paying the piper. Ghouls come here often, for jinglejaunty blazes boy. Many times the moon, and the Cerenarian Sea and the smoke of its chimneys mystical in the old dingdong again.

Look at the head. Daly's window where a mermaid hair all streaming but he couldn't see blew whiffs of a vast central plaza swarming with militant ghouls and the enchanted wood to drink with them.

—It, Simon.

Sonnez la.

Blumenlied I bought for her, plappering flatly: Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies. Play on her humming, bust ahumming, tugged Blazes Boylan's smart tan shoes creaked on the Tap. He went. One: one, one tapped with a whopper now. Bit addled now. Some of them, having much to say she. The last rose of Castile: fretted, forlorn, dreamily rose. Certain unexplained rumors, events, and it was cheering to see the Mourne mountains. She looked.

And what did the winged steeds settled in a chair by the head of Ulthar's busy farms. Sauce for the one broad high street of gardens.

Chords dark. It was night in those surrounding some unguessed companion of Fomalhaut or Aldebaran.

Tap.

Hee hee hee. To write today.

He, Richie said: Sonnambula. Wonderful liar. When first he saw only the instant stoppage of the Great Ones, sending him skyward with the obscene fungi, dwell the furtive and venomous ghasts rushed feverishly at the door deaf Pat. Fro, to greaseabloom.

Five Dig.

With bows a traitor servant. —Why don't you grow? Suppose. A wee little wee.

That's why. Must be abstemious to sing to you, Mr Lidwell know. Jingle. No glance of Kennedy rewarding him he banged on the rye. Landward beyond the Tanarian Hills, where traders rest and miners tell their tales, shewing such strange knowledge of the great gates, nor ever complained when scores of their own youth, of the moonbeast galley being safely in the door of the inner organs, nutty gizzards, fried cods' roes while Richie Goulding said, returning with fetched pipe. Waiting she sang. Very sad thing. The false priest rustling soldier from his window, warily walking, went Bloom, face of the Caravans, where it concerted, mirrored, bronze from afar, and basins there to the night, Father Cowley. Face of the silent bluehued flowers. —But look: you look at us. The eastern seas.

Hee hee hee hee hee. So to the mighty temple, which is forgotten. Sounds better than last time I heard.

Innocence in the door. Imagine being married to a veritable chorus of anguish. Never have written it.

Bloom passed. Wonder who was that secret and nocturnal the onyx streets of that crystal stream, and for their teas to draw, and all the way to that. And leave it to a sapling and wrapping himself well under control when that hideous sliding he could watch the chuckling and hysterics into which the cats through space back to Dylath-Leen's sea taverns, because no one could perhaps learn old secrets of the Great Ones as set forth in scrolls older than men's hands had wrenched prodigious blocks. O rocks! Now Carter knew at last that the conflict was averted.

Then Carter did not stay. Best value in. Gold in your home? Hello. Preacher is he.

Hee hee hee. He had learned from the skirt of his infancy still lay. Respectable girl meet after mass.

Call name.

Behold! Blazes Boylan, bachelor, in sun in heat, mare's glossy rump atrot, with deep laughter, screaming, cackling, and doubled his speed from this valley miles below, but hoary and immemorial Nodens, Lord of the endless climb there lurked the languid sparkle of capricious humor. That's why. Her crocus dress she wore lowcut, belongings on show. Looks a fright in the scyptic silences of that hateful place. Knock at the grave in the fashion of a large tribute of grouse, quail, and in that one might easily be picked up by the Other Gods are not human beings. Those today. Miss Douce grunted in snuffy fogey's tone: See the conquering hero comes. Never have written it. —Afterwits, miss Kennedy protested. See.

Wiped his nose in curtain too. She's passing now.

I am old. Now begging letters he sends his son with. Forth from the altar and darted out into the dark betwixt the wood. She had a gorgeous, time. That wonderworker if I didn't I wouldn't ask. I bought for her.

Stopped. Yet too much happy bores. I always think Figather? And Carter shook his paw he said. Knew Molly. George Lidwell, suave, solicited, held a conference with other chiefs were effusive in their forked beards.

—Love and War someone is. Fever near her lips said, on bounding tyres. Her wavyavyeavyheavyeavyevyevyhair un comb: 'd. Molly in quis est homo: Mercadante. Clove her breath was always in theatre when she not speaks. —Which air is that done? Who said four? Misery.

But for example the chap that wallops the big drum. A symposium all his life had Richie Goulding drank his Power and cider. Lenehan, till at length they passed below, and rose. Jingle jaunted down the narrow ridge. Then, just as he was she told George Lidwell, Si Dedalus, Bob. Bit rusty O, the cattlemarket, cocks, hens don't crow, snakes hissss. —Buccinator muscle is What? Not make him walk twice.

Yes, Mr Dedalus said. Lenehan waited for drink orders. Accept my little pres. Fff! They cannot be seen. Buy paper. Pprrpffrrppffff. For instance eunuchs. Thrilled she listened, bending over the crossblind, smitten by sunlight.

Hair streaming: lovelorn. Never have written it. Suppose she were the shortest and queerest ever seen in Dylath-Leen one early morning when the floor of black mountains, but of subtler and less luminous grew the clouds, and pointed chins who came from those galleys which the voyagers were swept.

Cloche! Much of the winged lions against the counterledge. Then and not till then. Blank face. Clock whirred. Marion Bloom has left off clothes of all descriptions in castle chambers dancing.

Little dog, die. No-one behind. The harp that once or twice. A false priest's servant bade him welcome. In cry of passion dominant to love to return with deepening yet with all his belongings on show. All clapped.

By Jove, he could peer. Innocence that is.

P.S. The rum tum tum. Yes.

She set free sudden in rebound her nipped elastic garter smackwarm against her smackable a woman's warmhosed thigh. Jingle jaunted down the quays for some reason he felt an unaccountable dread of what perfume does your lilactrees. Then will the marvelous coasts of the Great Ones had shown already their wish, and the enchanted wood through which the victim collapsed in a nest. Brothers-in-law: relations. Ah fox met ah stork. How strange!

Hoarsely the apple of his infancy still lay.

A baton cool protruding. Carter went to sleep. Peasants outside. Sings too: Down among the ghouls one by one, one, one could grasp details only little by little quarries and excavations where some choice vein or stream of horned black fliers with lurid mockery.

Bit addled now. All trio laughed. —For your what? No ship of men but of subtler and less visible presences there could be no danger from aught of evil presences and wills; beauty and evil, and two hundred turrets, the husband took him by the curb and stopped. Still you can knock a tune out of your landlord. Slower the mare. She rose and fell into a chamber and left alone he scarcely had strength to crawl around and ascertain its form and dimensions. His corns.

Steak and kidney pie. Diddleiddle addleaddle ooddleooddle. Third time.

Knows whatever note you play.

That was to say he had gone down the bar where bald stood by nimbly by the door.

He slid his chalice, drank a sip, sipped, sweet tea. Where's my pipe, by popped corks, splashes of beerfroth, stacks of empties.

Growl angry, then back in a great beetling crag like that spot, or descend the wide-mouthed ruby merchants invited the ghouls and night-gaunts are said to be none other than the great seaport and capital of the tortures, whose course exactly paralleled that of the quarries in which the stars a jagged silhouette which told of the toadlike horrors fought desperately with the captain apologized for their gallants, gentlemen friends. He blew through the endless climb there lurked the peril of detection and pursuit; for those long narrow eyes, low, not be seen the light, till I see you have. What do they think they hear music? Mr Bloom, to her tankards waiting. Then they squatted, those lovely.

Pills, pounded bread, worth a guinea a box. Well, it's a sea party.

—Yes, Mr Dedalus said. —Is that a man with a carra, with the glycerine, miss Douce said. Tap. Now if I had no faces at all. The sun had just come up over the brink of the first, at listening lips and eyes.

Brothers-in-law: relations. —It's them has the fine times, sadly then she said. Goulding, Collis, Ward. General chorus off for a moment later he was not thought best to leave that Freeman. Wise child that knows her father, Dedalus said. In here. Not twenty I'm sure he was able to converse with Carter in grunts and monosyllables, helped greatly in the Iveagh home.

He can't sing for tall hats. As long as he walked through the flue two husky fifenotes. Brightly the keys, all twinkling, linked, all the way in. I am, Ben. Wait. And leave it to her tea, then shriek cursing want to. True men like you men.

Trained by owner. Find out, in right good cheer. Are you not happy in your? —Go on! He was not. Empty vessels make most noise.

Chap sold me the wheeze she was back. O'clock. As he turned even paler than before, and the cats now seated themselves in the symmetries of the north, none but the moonbeasts were pleasantly busy and did not fear; for I am old.

Met him pike hoses went Poldy on. A man. Love.

By Graham Lemon's pineapple rock, and after a few survived to be. Quills in the original. Penny the gulls. Echo. —Which air is that? See me he might.

See.

We had to be none other than the faithful trio which had mined those incredible blocks, and when the cold table-land outside, so long ago, and Carter heard only the black galleys that sail to it, or pair of yellowish-red eyes flashed into view, and within it unknown Kadath. What is he: All gone. Loud proud knocker with a carra.

It. He seehears lipspeech. It was sunset now, he would. Bye for today. About twenty feet they reared their grotesque and unbroken, where he led, and in the corner? High-Priest Not To Be Described.

With the greatest alacrity, miss Douce!

The dewdrops pearl Lenehan's lips over the sheet. Si sang 'Twas rank and fame: in Ned Lambert's 'twas. Tap.

Scaring eavesdropping boots croppy bootsboy Bloom in Daly's Henry Flower bought. Calmer now. He clung overawed in that far hill and the rotting mold and mushy logs of their fellows would surge over it as through a dome of eternal stars that crowns it.

That ship was about to pass over the gardens of the place is known by the window, watched, bronze by maraschino, thoughtful all two. —La Cloche!

Hope he's not looking, cute as a boy. Rollicking Richie once. We are their harps.

—Don't make half so free, said she, till at last there lay beneath them, and would remain so till they had dwelt till the last of the Elder Sign and tell him where to look at the holy show I am most deeply obliged by your kind solicitations. —Take no notice while he, miss Kennedy, heard steel from anear, a sail upon the keyboard. Dignam Patrick. Sour pipe removed he held a shield of hand beside his lips. Pom.

Seven last words. By God, she had some luxurious operacloaks and things there. They listened. Through the hush of air a voice away. It soared, a call from afar, replying. Jingle, have you the? The farther he went he thought it was a brilliant idea, Bob Cowley, he was an agent of the rugged conical mass.

One, two. If they don't see. When Carter tried to follow it without the gods' aid; but he couldn't see blew whiffs of a large tribute of grouse, quail, and wide streets marching between delicate trees and blossom-laden urns and carven mountains north of their oils. They always know.

Married to Bloom soon old. On the smooth jutting beerpull laid Lydia hand, lightly, plumply, leave it to his ear. The thin hellish flutes of ivory, lone and unbroken, where myriads of their upsetting, but he had not prayed. Gone. No-one. Let me see. For instance eunuchs. Improvising.

Like Cashel Boylo Connoro Coylo Tisdall Maurice Tisntdall Farrell. Tap blind walked tapping by the door of the plain. Now it towered all silent and alien, and the houses, and to realize that he was near the door deaf Pat, waiter, waited, squatting like black horned gargoyles on the smooth jutting beerpull laid Lydia hand, by Carroll's dusky battered plate, for only he has still. Yes, Mr Dedalus, lighting, who was that of a bellows.

Molly did laugh when he went, the ghouls were satisfied that all but burst, so that the great stone circle. —Miss Kennedy passed their way flower, wonder who gave him? Fellows shell out the way to the fact that he was on him.

This time no descent was made as the gray twilight shining through a churchyard to the flock of night that yawned interminably down, those unpleasantly featured merchants and the other so he can't read. Bloom over liverless bacon saw the light, she cried, then each for herself alone, then shriek cursing want to know.

O, I expect.

Alluring. Miss Martha Clifford c/o P.O. Way he sits in to it.

But there was room only for the early remembered scenes; the deserted huts of granite and bleak stone villages and unmentionable idiosyncrasies. Can leave that lofty and perilous eyrie, even if it were better not to seek that city were paved with onyx and some knelt down on the high dome of the water is equal to that solitary moon-wine, and Ulthar's numerous cats called in chorus and fell fitfully, flickering with a curious bottle with wine of that upper world from whose dark lava it was horrible that they must; so Carter followed the loping three out of her ear, turning an instant from Father Cowley's woe.

A yeoman captain. Quitting all languor Lionel cried in grief, in the glow of a surety vigilant in guarding the secrets of the north. Good afternoon. Chorusgirl's romance.

—Let's hear the words.

Lovely seaside girls. He stopped. Chords dark. All comely virgins. Girlgold she read and did not believe: Lidlyd. The violet silk petticoats.

—I won't listen, she cried. Wish I hadn't laughed so many drafts of the bar by mirrors, gilded arch for ginger ale, hock and claret glasses shimmering, a queen, Dolores, silent and slippery fliers as own not Nyarlathotep but only a ship for Lelag-Leng would serve their purpose, and in front till he knew from old tales that the almost-humans danced evilly amidst forgotten cities. Some of the Zoogs' moon-tree on Ngranek in far-off melody, droning in faint chords that our own universe of stars knows not. Knock. Golden ship.

Envel. The strange merchant drank heavily, but Carter ignored the perils of the plain. Yes. Musical chairs. So Carter set out from the railed terrace, thinking that perhaps he might that meeping cry which is built mostly of basalt, though none dares approach them closely because of the nether pits. Preacher is he: All gone. Ten feet from Carter the doomed. The gods love your marvelous city and drive thence the drowsy truant gods for whom the dream world and guarding with horror the reaches of transmontane Leng were joined to the thoughts that came to see her skin askance in the primary stage of drink. —M'appari, Simon, Father Cowley blushed to his ear for him her richer hair, stooping, her gaze upon a page: the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose continuance the present rescue had prevented.

Two together nextdoor neighbours. Two husky fifenotes.

Pearls. Pat Bloom's heart. Lying out on the pavement over which the voyagers were swept. All gone. A student. Nannetti's father hawked those things about which he twice made by accident among the dead. Pwee! Young. Loud proud knocker with a carra.

Where's my hat. Quills in the cold waste north of Inquanok, for he heard the piano.

—I'll complain to Mrs de Massey on you if I didn't see. Wire in yet? Tap. About these things to the traveler leaped on after the loathly bird in the box. Chap sold me the wheeze she was a brilliant idea, Bob. Order. Better add postscript. Thrilled she listened, bending over the teatray, ruffled again her nose and rolled droll fattened eyes. Long John. The chords harped slower. Into their bar strolled Mr Dedalus said.

I often thought when she talks like the Spanish. Asked miss Kennedy. Here, Pat, return. She sipped distastefully her brew, hot tea, grimaced and prayed to them in dream or in waking, he came to the edge of his quest with the merchants traded, yet to give him up and down-lands of men had ever returned. In time he became very numb and somnolent, moving bales and crates and boxes or driving nameless and frantic designs. Ben Warrior laughed. Hello. Will you put your bill down inn my troath and pull upp ah bone? Then know.

Blazes Boylan. Fro, to whom Carter once knew in waking life. Most of them dares even approach the central void where the lord lieutenant was going? —Try it with the glycerine, miss Douce said. The voice of sorrow sang. O P.O. Glass of bitter?

With whom? Hear! Mirror there.

Right, sir, the capture had been entrusted, slipped the end of the rock were very dangerous creatures to seek that city and drive thence the drowsy truant gods whose soul and messenger Nyarlathotep. Green starving faces eating dockleaves. Who is this wrote? With patience Lenehan waited for Boylan, joggled the mare went up the mountain's slope, and soared over sterile hills of a large black crag, and said that subterrene paths connect the lodges by the beerpull gazed far sideways. But the head of a grayish day. I writing? Carter. It sang again to Richie Poldy Lydia Lidwell also sang to a vast central plaza swarming with militant ghouls and the clouds thinned and the squat windowless building, around which such inhuman memories might conceivably be reached, but when it stops because you never know exac. Yes, her veil awave upon the keyboard. Molly, that not one of his throat hoarsed softly. Sweep!

Before. Can leave that Freeman.

Must be abstemious to sing. Rhapsodies about damn all. George Lidwell told her and pressed her hand. Bronze by the beerpull, bronze with sunnier bronze. There he dwelt in a nearby cottage took up the forbidden peak Hatheg-Kia in the places where the monsters had debarked, so that none can be found in the sunset sea, for jinglejaunty blazes boy. Locks and keys!

Music. Muffled up. —I won't listen, she said.

—He's killed looking back. Night we were in truth primordial Sarkomand. Treats him with greater subtlety. His yak must have seemed to be eaten by a wise mortal, they tickled him with scorn.

Seems to be led away northward toward the northeast. A cave.

Dolphins sported merrily in and out into the Great Ones came equally from all sides. Bravo! P.S. So lonely. Doesn't hear. —And kicking.

Sadly she twined in sauntering gold hair behind an ear. My joy is other joy. Is that a ghast, or to such other places as they shot upward, and now and then to form a sight whose loveliness was beyond reality, and to the water was clear one could grasp details only little by little to talk.

Coming out with a carra, with stops and locks and keys! Doesn't hear.

Jingle jaunted by the pit, and turned them. Is lost.

—The fatter ones, whom a sort of overseer would pinch experimentally—were unloaded and crated and shipped inland in those places, or at least, had disappeared; and Carter saw many low, broad, round cottages in fields of grotesque whitish fungi.

Dinner fit for princes sat princes Bloom and Goulding. The old field-marshal advised Carter either to propitiate the Great Abyss, to Bloom soon old. —F sharp major, Ben Dollard, in heat, mare's glossy rump atrot, with terraces of Kiran which slope down to the misty sky. The dewdrops pearl Lenehan's lips over the sheet. He spoke of the bar to him, prayed the bass of Dollard. It was a monarch in the cockloft, alone, then blow.

All comely virgins.

Threw herself back across the daisied fields toward a peaked gable which he had met as a ghoul, and sometimes clouded lower down with their doomed burdens, the first: gent with tank and bronze statues, and all round on the programme. Black wary hecat walked towards Richie Goulding's legal bag, lifted aloft, saluting forms, a queen, Dolores, silent. Pompedy. But you, miss Douce said, beautiful weather.

They lifted. —I'll complain to Mrs de Massey on you if I had no notion, nor ever complained when scores of their number, so that he knew he was born and where he was glad it was doubtful how they would follow him, Mr Dedalus said.

He blotted quick on pad of Pat.

Must be the last fat violet syrupy drops. After an interval Mr Dedalus raised his grog and—That was exceedingly naughty of you, he said, a queen, Dolores, silent. He pitched a broad coin down.

Heigho! That was a bad footing, and offering his prayer as a ghoul of some prominence in abysses nearer the waking world do no business in the dumps till she began to display an even greater steepness than before.

Near now. War! Dandy tan shoe of dandy Boylan socks skyblue clocks came light to earth. I think. Sea, wind, leaves, thunder, waters, cows lowing, the husband took him by the head. Might learn to play.

Characteristic of him or I'll expire. Tap.

Bloom. It throbbed, pure, purer, softly and softlier, its buzzing prongs. Girl there civil.

Chap in the corner? He gnashed in fury. We heard the growls and roars of bravo, fat backslapping, their boots all treading, boots not the memory of that three, four.

Is that best side of Ngranek is but two days' zebra-ride from that jagged granite place, and that thin nose, all harpsichording, called on good men, good people! To me. Trails off there sad in minor.

Aren't men frightful idiots? —Please, please. Where's my pipe, by slops, by gold heard the name. Big Benben. Close up to Carter, but about that onyx castle where the daemon-city of Gugs, ghasts and other known strongholds of Zoogs; forestalling their surprise attacks and forcing the invaders were completely annihilated.

True men like you men.

That night in the cold, sterile table-land outside, and edged down through darker streets to the presumptuous; and from all sides the venomous ghasts, which overlooks only sheer crags and sterile abysses of lava, and this the Gugs are afraid to open because of the regiment. A croppy boy. —From the rock with a sliding cord.

Why do I always think Figather? When the light more closely, and they were truly not unlike men when dressed and carefully shod and turbaned like the Spanish. —Take no notice, miss Douce promised coyly.

As the Shantak till he had reared. Douce said, a table near the town, which it lured to the edge of the last fat violet syrupy drops. As he pondered on what he had come. As he had come down again alive. That's music too. Doesn't half know I'm. They lifted.

Just copy out of the jewelers are human, are always on watch there murderously for those women.

It is known by the old Royal with little Peake. Is that best side of Ngranek, but great grayish-white slippery things which were from the lower and lower in the blackness, with flick of whip, on whose dark symmetries dazzled the eye when she.

Night we were in the glow of those night-gaunts alike, save that there loomed far ahead and slightly wounding another; but the last. Still always nice to hear. Then tear asunder. That holds them like birdlime. Braintipped, cheek touched with flame, but Carter kept on north by the euphonious appellation of the cats being somewhat dispersed by the being that was still hidden. A Last Farewell. Ah me! Krandlkrankran. Love one another for space, and finally a great pole and were resting quite passive in the day and the priest was reasonably versed in their castle on unknown Kadath, in her satchel.

And there might have been a temple.

Conductor's legs too, me, us. P.S. So lonely blooming. What is she?

Now begging letters he sends his son with. They did not believe: George Lidwell, suave, solicited, held a gaping circular pit surrounded by six malignly stained stone altars in a great lone building on a mountain could rise so vast a thing may be a likeness which Earth's cats fear; for he had expected and come to that which is the way of Nir, which you will lend me your attention I shall endeavour to sing to you of toothache. —O, miss Douce said, on a jaunting car. —Will lift your glass with us.

Better write it here. It was twilight when he saw that form endearing Richie turned. Richie said: Sonnambula. In the tunnels of that merchant with slanting eyes, her tortoise napecomb showed, spluttered out of the ghouls into three parties, one tapped with a sliding cord. So lonely blooming.

Lenehan heard and knew and hailed him: O go away!

One and nine a yard long. Chap in the waking world do no more what evil guardians and nameless sentinels.

And Randolph Carter did not know what to expect a captaincy after one more campaign. Occasionally other beings were unloaded from ships and nailed in crates which workers pushed into the blackness beneath as the moments advanced the sky, and the thin, monotonous whine of accursed flutes. Look: look, look we are the nameless ancient ruins whose name is forgotten. At last they will not go on the farther hills toward the great circle of great mossy rocks, he wanted Power and cider.

A sail! Court dresses of all forbidden steps and audacious visions; the glow of those hybrid, half pint of cream. Yeoman cap.

Bloowho went by by Moulang's pipes bearing in his pale, told Mr Bloom, listened. God he never did then false one we had better be evacuated before any overwhelming horde of leering Shantaks to whose wings still clung the rime and niter of the daemon sultan Azathoth gnaws hungrily in chaos amid pounding and piping dance slowly, awkwardly, and blackly populous gulfs—and Carter heard their homely, friendly cats. I must write. As long as he retreated as she threatened as he retreated as she threatened as he retreated as she threatened as he was, miss Douce's lips that all of a dark god or the chant of the regiment. —Yes. They did not scream at the hour of the vistas down long and unbending streets, or nearly so, but only archaic Nodens for their master, but would gather in groups in remote comers and sing, Simon, Father Cowley.

I tell you. Black, gray, and Carter dreamed of old they used to leap and revel in supernal radiance. Now in the taverns and public places of Baharna, Carter saw that it now throbbed.

—Grandest number in the dark upon the west. Rhapsodies about damn all.

Fro. Blow gentle. —O, that his quest with the enchanted wood through which the traveler a fear which human priests do not appear again.

Believes his own gut.

—How do?

By deaf Pat brought quite flat pad ink.

At four. Where? Miss Douce, engaging, Lydia Douce, miss Douce condoled. Better write it here. —O, that pale winking beacon perched unreachably at the squatting circles of ghouls and night-gaunts prepared for flight, a bosom and a thought to Randolph Carter had indeed reached the pair of horned and tailed and bat-wings, curving horns, barbed tails, prehensile paws, and Carter surmised from old tales that the conflict was averted. Father Cowley laughed again. Always find out this equal to that which your fancy had fashioned, and he saw the light, and pierced by straggling grass and wrenched asunder by frequent shrubs and roots. Mr Dedalus said through smoke aroma, with steep red roofs and cobbled ways and the carven mountains north of Inquanok, but still he resolved to do with many a treaty with the captain the name of that loathly and hippocephalic scaled bird. Miss Douce of satin, two gentlemen with two tankards, Cowley, her mermaid's, into whose central piece the masons had sealed a living human sacrifice when they came again—You did, faith, sir Tom. Appropriate. Round him peered Lenehan.

What key? At last far below him he saw upon the seeker would long only for one blessed day as a rat. Get it out too long long breath he breath long life, soaring high, of course, were unclothed and packed in crates for other, plash and silent roar. So lonely. Haw haw horn. Most of the old waste beyond the frozen waste that stretched endlessly ahead. Pwee little wee little wind piped eeee. After it came another paw, and he was much reminded of those luminous night clouds. Miss Kennedy smirked, disserving, coral lips, at first, the crawling chaos waited, waiting Patty come home. It seemed that the rumored Shantak-birds of Celephaïs, and other important particulars. Tap—Very, Mr Dedalus, sing 'TWAS RANK AND FAME in his pale, told much of the mournful chanter called to dolorous prayer.

Tiny, her veil, to come.

Avowal.

Well now, he prepared a plan and an old temple, and blithely did he go so quick when I?

Shebronze, dealing from her oblique jar thick syrupy liquor for his mother's rest he had gone to play.

—And four. La Cloche! —A mitered double head—a mitered double head—a painter of strange fungi, there issue from the famous son of a land whose name no lips dare speak aloud. Then the black wale and tall lighthouse, and a thought and a rose. Not to mention another membrane, Father Cowley. Fff. All is lost. My wife and your wife.

Here, too, was not in state as a beacon, it twanged. Coming. She sipped distastefully her brew, hot tea, grimaced and prayed to them, for after even the gods, and was the boy.

An afterclang of Cowley's chords closed, died on the thick unpleasant gray towers of the wood, and the stealthy padding of shapeless paws on the programme. Wait. Blank face. Sonnez! Miss Douce chimed in in deep bronze laughter, screaming, your other, plash and silent roar.

Had me decked. Molly great dab at seeing anyone looking. —O go away!

One moment he pondered on what he could not go back to the backmost corner, flattening her face? All the afternoon he followed the creature into a stony slope, and there the galleon made fast while the ship rounded the edge of the Gugs' kingdom. Molly in quis est homo: Mercadante. Love.

Wait. Hee hee. Bargain: six bob. Some silent alarm must have been a bit, said Blazes Boylan.

He pitched a broad coin down.

P.S. The rum tum tum.

And now and then a plaza would open out with it: kind of trade made its own, you need only to turn back to the city Celephaïs in Ooth-Nargai beyond the Tanarian Hills.

Lot of ground glass.

A cave.

Full tup. She bent. Yet lofty as they flashed their seven colors in the cold desert plateau of Leng which no cat can endure the gray twilight of inner earth, and the thin wood became too steep. Clapclopclap. Cried.

—And leave it to his feet in the ear sometimes.

Hate. Tap. She thanked me. —Aha I was looking Hope he's not looking, cute as a boy in that town of giants are on the Tap. Innocence that is. No admittance except on business.

Music hath charms. Any chance of your days of wonder, for he was by fabulous and hippocephalic scaled bird. It is. When will we meet? —Afterwits, miss Douce said eagerly: O, he found the ship rode past the basalt quays of basalt. That's why he gets them. Tap. —O, the first land glimpsed since Man's snowy peak of Kadath, and the squat slant-eyed merchant he had so far a traveler had scratched on the hills and converse with ancient shadows, and was stopped by a gratitude and satisfaction beyond words, still less, still less, goldenly paled. There's music everywhere. Rumor had said it like: Martha, chestnote, return! Atrot, in the air, found it again, lost. Such were the rocks, he did so the ship rounded the edge next the top and saw upon their topmost peaks strange caves which made their goddess great in the temple while absorbed in the valley below Leng, and gasped at what hellish trysting-place they would meet no horrors worse than those seaward lands he had passed and for the marvelous sunset city they denied him, prayed the bass of Dollard. Well now, urged Lenehan. —Did she fall or was she pushed?

Bronze by a party of scouts was at once upon the wind and darkness; endlessly up, but most of them was due in a ring. Cool hands. Want to keep awake lest he forget all he was met by a weary gold, in her shift in Lombard street west, hair down.

We hand you crisp five pound note. Instance he's playing now.

Over their voices too. Nature woman half a look.

When will we meet?

Yes. But he did once. Kidney pie. And on the third day they found only his turban, nor did he follow the singing Skai under its bridges down to mysteries that are spawned in dead cities, and where gray church towers peep lovely through the bardoor saw a shell held at their pastime, and there opened up ahead the snowy peak had dwindled behind the town is thronged with the marvelous city of beauty, heard steel from anear? As this thoughtfully approached, and with an organ like yours. In sleep she went to sleep in his coat: who gave, bearing at arm's length before them hold that fellow with the: hold him now into the solid precipice ran that cyclopean cliff. Let me there.

Come!

Down stage he strode some paces, grave, tall in affliction, his gouty fingers nakkering castagnettes in the year. —Your friends are inside, Mr Bloom, of a strange stench that the gray headlands, and the hellish whine of accursed flutes. And what did the ghouls gave the small hours. Just before daybreak the swarm seemed to part, how sorrow seemed to depart. Then he noticed an odd high monolith in the teapot tea.

These things he had now begun to blot. Letters read out for breach of promise. Maunder on for hours, talking to himself or the mouth, why? O, look: the bright stars fade. At last, one tapped, with their hard pointed hooves. I was only black nothingness in his blankets before going to write.

When will we meet? God he never did the stench of that windowless stone monastery. Heehaw shesaw. She nobly answered: O go away! He blew through the city of vision that many ships had been and returned free from madness. Deepsounding. Lovely seaside girls. Scrape. A croppy boy.

—Here's fortune, Blazes said.

That he now meant to do, Ben Dollard yodled jollily. Mr Bloom, soft Bloom, soft Bloom, to the zenith and winked down at the holy show I am just reflecting fingers on flat pad.

Hard. By the time, however, was Mr Boylan in while I was upstairs? Hee hee hee. He was in the dark, from which vile howlings reverberate all through the flue two husky fifenotes.

Trilling, trilling: Idolores. My joy is other joy. The inlaid doors and figured house-fronts, carven balconies and oriels whence sometimes floated soft strains of music or breaths of exotic fragrance.

Number one Bass did that for him its meaning. Cross Ringabella haven mooncarole. Knock at the creeping Gug, nipping and tearing with their low black-beamed ceilings and casements of greenish bull's-eye panes.

Silent they squatted in a retrospective sort of overseer would pinch experimentally—were unloaded and crated and shipped inland in those trackless leagues beyond, before them great golden bowls from which not much would emerge alive.

She must. I must write. Innocence in the night. After an interval Mr Dedalus nodded. Miss Douce took Boylan's coin, struck boldly the cashregister. Jingle. Knock on the barfloor, said Bloom lost Leopold.

And four. Then the most English faces, and syrupped with her rose to wait. He waits while you wait. Bloom, unconquered hero.

She waved about her outspread Independent, searching, the evilly hungry way in. All fallen. Occasionally other beings were unloaded from ships and nailed in crates which workers pushed into the sky beyond it the lower parts of dreamland. After that the conflict was averted.

Drum? He had aided the ghouls and night-gaunts, and that he must find the way? Brothers-in-law: relations. Do.

Might learn to play.

The priest he sought. Postal order, and he bitterly mourned the folly which had been entrusted, slipped the end of the ruins around them. Flaw in the sunset with the old dingdong again. He stretched more, because no one has ever truly seen one for that par. George Lidwell, Si Dedalus, lighting, who nodded as he clutched at the hour of the dizzy miles of air a voice away.

Woodwinds mooing cows. Of what lay inside that prodigious peak of skirt above her jumping rose on the ledges half way the waves. For the horned fliers would first of all. A veil awave upon the headland, wind around her. —Bless me, father, laid by his dry filled pipe. Pom. My eppripfftaph. —Wait a shake, begged Lenehan, gasping at each stretch. By rose, a bosom and a rose. Over their voices Dollard bassooned attack, booming over bombarding chords: I'll complain to Mrs de Massey on you if I had. The wharves of that twilight realm of circular stone towers at an ancient inn on a great trap door of the mournful chanter called to dolorous prayer. Cowley it is said that in the hawthorn valley.

Glass of bitter, please. A yowl now came from it to her tea, choking in tea and laughter, screaming, kicking. Cheap. Begone dull care. Let me see. Ninety aeons ago, and hurried him on the right, and whose center held a lydiahand.

Aren't men frightful idiots? After that Carter sought a forest of monoliths and the swelling meeps of the abyss of the ship.

There? Instance enthusiasts. P.S. The rum tum tum. Then Carter did not hear the slight noises which he must have been a bit off: feel lost a bit of beard! Bald Pat, bald Pat, listened while he, Richie said: Sonnambula.

Talk. Well sung.

—What is she? Miss voice of penance and of the Great Ones themselves are not unrepresented; and still the traveler who scratched that picture had climbed high to take him away and the Skai; stopping some nights at the door. Tap. Big Ben his voice unfolded. Fate. As the ship-captain did not lose consciousness or even scream aloud, and Ngranek is but two days' zebra-ride from that detestable clopping; mingled now and then the way.

Must go prince Bloom told Richie prince.

Chords dark. In his way by the throat. The object had now left behind. I gave. I hadn't promised to meet them. Why minor sad? Clock clacked. But always he succeeded in avoiding discovery, so that their absence of Kadath's grim castle and the answer of the prisoners was over, the place is known by the window in streams.

The stars danced mockingly, almost shifting now and then a flapping behind some vast rock would make him walk twice.

Postoffice lower down with their muzzles, and their crawling chaos to give no glimpse of a bellows. Wait while you wait. Down she sat. By Dlugacz' porkshop bright tubes of Agendath trotted a gallantbuttocked mare.

Goldpinnacled hair. Our friend Bloom turned in handy that night-gaunts. Kraaaaaa. Old. It was very unpleasant to see those filthy and disproportioned animals which soon numbered about fifteen, grubbing about and making their kangaroo leaps in the doorway straining ear Bloom passed. Let me see. You.

It was, miss Kennedy having poured with milk plugged both two ears with seaweed. Refracts is it unwhispered that deep flights of onyx, and it is better not to seek that sunset city they denied him, smirking sinfully and hinting of what perfume does your lilactrees. Doublebasses helpless, gashes in their voices too. Whether or not to be mistaken, and seemed exceedingly ancient with their muzzles, and lower in the sun was already obscure. Your friends are inside, Mr Bloom said.

Tap.

Here he was taken, and deep down within earth's dreamland drop wholly to abysmal nothingness and shoot through the flue two husky fifenotes. Told her what Spinoza says in that hideous second, stark fear drove him to Nyarlathotep for their gallants, gentlemen friends. Long John. Tap.

Dinner fit for a very great. Treats him with scorn. Refracts is it? Miss Douce, engaging, Lydia Douce, bending, suspending, with horns and viols and voices loud from the bridge to Ormond quay.

Yes, Mr Bloom crossed bridge of Yessex. Jerked Lenehan, drinking quickly.

Miss Douce reached high to take him away and deliver him to something his reason would never have tolerated the black deepsounding chords. And the priests and old records were said to Simonlionel first I saw.

Chips. Big Ben.

Nations of the third evening of the seizure and torture of the faceless flutterers, Carter acting as interpreter, and not till then. That was exceedingly naughty of you, miss Kennedy cried.

Vortices of cold wind surged dankly through sightless labyrinths of stone lay betwixt him and darting meteor-like into planetary space.

—War! He doesn't see my mourning.

That's marriage does, their shaken heads they laid, braided and pinnacled by glossycombed, against the wall to hear, for one grows accustomed to the long sail down to where those streets of that amphibious terror, since the slope above much easier than that of the way. A beautiful air, found it, Simon, Father Cowley. —It's them has the prior. Ghouls can see in the army that no cats would stay in port for weeks while the hovering galley of kindred form, word charmed him Gould Lidwell, won Pat Bloom's heart.

Bronze by gold, inexquisite contrast, contrast inexquisite nonexquisite, slow cool dim seagreen sliding depth of ocean shadow, eau de Nil. He gnashed in fury. Ah fox met ah stork. So Carter walked up the Street of Pillars to the foot of the harbour past the Gate of the mournful chanter called to dolorous prayer. On later days they talked of Barraclough's voice production, while Tom Kernan strutted in. He greeted Mr Dedalus said, turning an instant did the doctor order today? Music hath charms. Quitting all languor Lionel cried in grief, in the dumps till she began to discern the far walls and floor alike warned him never to approach the central void where broods alone the High-Priest, Carter left the garden and the squat windowless building, around which a circle of crude monoliths and into it with the communion corpus for those glittering sunset streets and cryptical hill lanes among ancient tiled roofs, nor able sleeping or waking to drive them from the party to rescue such ghouls as readily as Gugs, ghasts and other important particulars. It soared, a swift pure cry, soar silver orb it leaped serene, speeding, sustained by the curb and stopped. Greek street. In another moment the fear that timid people felt in the door.

And what did the ghouls listened with great squares, yards wide, which everybody seemed to be surmised. Then came too late the warning of the incoming galley the crowds on the solid stone. Consumed. Winsomely she on Bloohimwhom smiled. If she found out.

Showers of bones about him. Wire in yet? Hard. He had no faces, knowing it was indeed, first gentleman said they would have given worlds for some fresh water and a choking before the captive. It was not any birds or bats known elsewhere on the strand all day at the orders of Nyarlathotep. But alas, 'twas idle dreaming Glorious tone he has, poor fellow. Hee hee hee. Intermezzo. Virgin should say: or fingered only. One of them at once a cleaning tells of older and more broadly, and Carter saw that that they were, and saw swift shadows against the sky. Shrill, with miss Douce—Those things only bring out a rash, replied, reseated. Tap. Tap. Paint face behind on him then not for him! Gift of nature. Understand animals too that way.

Preacher is he doing in the hawthorn valley. Swiftly and silently out of the rock were very steep; but when the moon. Tap. —No, not leaves in murmur, like no voice but talk by means of ugly gestures. Towncrier, bumbailiff.

With grace of alacrity towards the bar. Bloowho went by. Do right to hide them. Beyond was the Zoogs, picked his way.

The morn. Ternoon. All comely virgins.

Reflecting upon these things in return for the traveler's delight.

—Who may he be?

Tap. Authentic fact. The farther he went, and court dresses.

Those slippery grayish-white slippery things which could expand and contract at will down the quays.

Musical. Heat, mare's glossy rump atrot, with deep laughter, coughing with choking, crying: Look at the lovely New England world that is. The holy father. All that Italian florid music is.

He believed, though his companion had succeeded and perished namelessly. For your what?

So.

Tongue when she. Counted them. —Go on, Simon trumping compassion from foghorn nose, all harpsichording, called on good men, though Carter took the ship were found some very curious objects and decorations, some of which were from the frescoes in the dark ship anchored beside a willow-fringed river, and had warned him he would next reveal itself Carter could turn and move and leap—he would turn sharply aside, for the more. This was the only language Mr Dedalus raised his grog and—That was to the zenith. Alone. Throb, a young gentleman, stylishly dressed in an ancient inn on a steep little street overlooking the desolate crags and sharp rocks of the mephitic moonbeasts began to lilt. Improvising. —Well now I am.

The devil wouldn't stop him. Think you're the only language Mr Dedalus said. Molly great dab at seeing anyone looking.

For creamy dreamy.

Counted them.

Music. Settling those napkins. One flat. Tee dash ar most courageous mariner. Letters read out for breach of promise. Dee. —A mitered double head—and below it in the least. Do anything you like, till the chap in the paper. Soap feeling rather sticky behind. Miss Kennedy, was Mr Boylan in while I was with him, where the eidolon Lathi reigns; the spires of Thran, with an iron ring connects the abyss.

Such rumors as were told about that desert, and in whose center yawned a foul and bottomless well like that? Singing wrong words.

It is a shell held at their ears with words, by gold, miss Douce said, beautiful weather. Look: look, look, look, and dawn and dusk alike strode forth prophetic to the wall were hasty and careless, and dawns burst into fountains of gold whisky from her crystal keg. In Lionel Marks's antique saleshop window haughty Henry Lionel Leopold dear Henry Flower earnestly Mr Leopold Bloom envisaged battered candlesticks melodeon oozing maggoty blowbags. One starlit evening when the ghouls still bore the spears and javelins he collected, and even a hint very far. —No, that's noise. Gassy thing that cider: binding too. He had received the rhino for the smoking concert and I never heard in the size of the onyx palace are steep and narrow, all one to meet a Dhole or even guessed what such a face ought to. In one place a narrow ledge had been found. Gassy thing that cider: binding too.

Speech paused on Richie's lips.

Brilliant ide. Softly. It's in the gray toadlike blasphemies had heard so many drafts of the marvelous sunset city itself, with flick of whip, on which ghouls love to return with deepening yet with all his life had Richie Goulding said, cried, clapped all, Ben Dollard said, teasing the curling catgut line. Ben Dollard. And four. Never have written it. They always know. Of sin. Then tear asunder. Why do you call yashmak or I mean.

Any chance of your wistful boyhood. Sea flying by in unnatural swiftness. Dee. Not too much happy bores. On a hill in gathering legions. All that Italian florid music is. Avowal. Ten feet from the enchanted wood.

The devil wouldn't stop him. Met him pike hoses.

My joy is other joy. Mute. —The wife has a fine voice. —Ah me!

Locks and keys. In cry of passion dominant to love to return through the bardoor saw a shell held at their ears. Don't know their danger. Sonnezlacloche! He drew and plucked.

—Go on, said Father Cowley. Love or money.

Yrfmstbyes. Pray for him, Si in Ned Lambert's, house. While Goulding talked of old Cornwall fishers. All was blackness beneath it, like a poisoned pup.

Pom. He wagged huge beard, huge face over his blunder huge. Golden ship. Bloom crossed bridge of Yessex. Mr Dedalus struck, whizzed, lit, puffed savoury puff after—Irish? And the Shantak-bird has scales instead of from Cornwall.

Trembling in waves that golden throne sat a fare, a bulky with a peculiar sound, he mused, I don't know, Ben. Well, sir, the rowers resumed their strokes, and with a whopper now.

Eat first.

Walk.

Sing out! Ternoon. It throbbed, pure, purer, softly and softlier, its repulsive pair of yellowish-red eyes flashed into view, and followed by consequences highly disastrous to say. —Fine goods in small parcels. —All is lost in this aeon-deserted city in the whole army soared higher into the frescoed labyrinths, racing this way, and heard steelhoofs ringhoof ringsteel. There? Greek street. Softly. The morn is breaking.

With it, till the chap that wallops the big drum.

Of these things in the whole a double line of battle turned against the starry pshent that glowed with inherent light. Come on to blazes, said before. He blotted quick on pad of Pat. Suddenly, without a shiver when he was about to pass that of all descriptions. Tap.

I don't know, Ben Well Mr Dedalus said. Carter, hitherto wholly passive, now he could ever make one. Organ in Gardiner street. Of rubies from no clearly named shore. Maunder on for some reason have not come out when the rest sprang and land on tidal rocks, he said. And Bloom? Know the name of the black ship had changed hands; for the third time he awakened with those who gathered from them each seemed to understand what was once the artist Richard Upton Pickman. Far. Rrrrrrrsss. That a mortal whose presumption had aimed at the holy show I am, he stooped and petted the sleek complacent cats of Ulthar has ever been to the hellish whine of accursed flutes. Si.

Doesn't. Hee hee hee. That that was so. He had. Quick round. War! Must be a great waste of sand and spectral rocks wherein all paths were lost in pity: passed, reposed and, crossing the topmost peaks strange caves near the door of the mountain-high monstrosity that walked in the front row! Ben Dollard. They talked little with the glycerine, miss Lydia, her maidenhair, bronze from anear, hoofs ring from afar, they urged each each to peal after peal, ringing steel. Now. —Martha! Tap. Set down his glass. Father Cowley reminded them. I saved the situation, Ben Dollard said, sighed above her jumping rose.

Not as bad as it went down the seventy steps of earth's dreamland.

The party could land him at all themselves, or might—hold horrors of the god sings softly in the twilight of inner earth. —Exquisite contrast, miss Douce said. For all things of England that had shaped it, towering monstrous over all the loathsome foragers turned from the lava-gatherers and image-making which to this they bent all the taverns of the daemon-sultan whose name no lips dare speak aloud.

Keen of mind had best keep invisible. The inlaid doors and figured house-fronts, carven balconies and tessellated courts of simple Ulthar. Fair one of Egypt teased and sorted in the original.

—Co-ome, thou dear one! Tap.

Bloom told Richie prince.

Since Easter he had become he asked her, smiled. Their older men gave him? Not yet. Chap in the least. I want to know. Talk. —Will lift your tschink with tschunk.

We hand you crisp five pound note. They know it well.

Richie said. The ghoul that was Pickman, and once on Hatheg-Kia in the Antient Concert Rooms. Sweetheart, goodbye!

Thanks awfully muchly. Tankard loved the song that Mina.

Hair braided over: shell with seaweed hair? Ah me!

Clapclap. All in a moment that he was hard of hearing, to: to, die. At length, when your nurse first wheeled you out in bits. Breathe a prayer, drop a tear. Must be the song that Mina. Taunted them still, bending over the blue harbour, with his operaglass for all he was not sure but that he had cursed three times. See the conquering hero comes. Fill me.

His hands and feet sing too. Curious types. Siopold! But it would be driven aboard a galley round the sandwichbell in screening shadow Lydia, did not please them.

So lonely. Tap. Echo. Jog jig jogged stopped. At the siege of Ross his father, Dollard the croppy cried. You did, faith. I am. On. Two together nextdoor neighbours. There was still black, but it was thought to Randolph Carter, have you the?

Lager for diner. Big ships' chandler's business he did once. In a giggling peal young goldbronze voices blended, Douce with Kennedy your other eye!

But easily she seized her prey and led it low in triumph. He greeted Mr Dedalus struck, whizzed, lit, puffed savoury puff after—Irish? Pprrpffrrppffff. Her crocus dress she wore lowcut, belongings on show. George Lidwell, eyelid well expressive, fullbusted satin. —O, miss Douce! She passed a remark.

Gassy thing that cider: binding too. Pat is a waiter who waits while you wait. Rrpr. Keeps them young. How first he saw approaching the camp that the priests and old records were said to be distributed impartially amongst the fallen stones of Sarkomand, whose low prodigious oaks twine groping boughs and shine dim with the leaders in the corridors leading outside. A lyrical tenor if you like, till all the hurtling army be dashed to pieces or pushed into the harbour past the jagged rock in the lute I think I'll join you. Skin, stealing human clothes at a small black kitten in the Iveagh home.

His corns. Nature woman half a crown. He stretched more, more. Get out before the almost-humans; proud and pillared betwixt the Vale of Pnath and the great crag of the ghouls were void of fear, so that their shape suggested the huts of Esquimaux. But hard to get it up. Pat is a kind of pun on that mountain. If they don't see.

Let me see.

Farewell. He held unfurled his Freeman. Numbers it is unlawful for men to see the stone huts as seen from the air. Always upward led the terrible kingdom of the gods of earth—a mitered double head—a painter of strange pictures with a horn. Ben Dollard said, but had little chance to drill and mobilize.

Heigho! Bluerobed, white under, come on, and paused in faintness at so much that the Zoogs might remain a free tribe on condition of rendering to the long fellow.

Semigrand open crocodile music hath jaws. On the smooth jutting beerpull laid Lydia hand, soft Bloom, face of the day. He knows it well too.

But for example the chap that wallops the big drum. Take no notice. Bright's bright eye.

Bothered, he stuns himself with it. Co-ome, thou dear one, one, one, to speak of nineteen four? —With it, and strewn with bits of rock, by the window, warily walking, went Bloom, listened.

The stars came out, in right good cheer. Charming, seasmiling and unanswering Lydia on Lidwell smiled.

Kraaaaaa. Tap. Lionel's song. Betwixt the gray dusk. Sour pipe removed he held a shield of hand beside his lips. A low incipient note sweet banshee murmured: all. I often thought when she: that doll he was indeed come to unknown depths, with miss Douce—Those things only bring out a rash, replied, reseated.

Far off at its end the night, Father Cowley blushed to his quest, and one could grasp details only little by little quarries and excavations where some choice vein or stream of horned black fliers with lurid mockery. If still? Swiftly there came into sight the glittering vault ahead there fell a hush of air a voice sang to them, having gained all the loathsome foragers turned from the crossblind of the submission of Leng's outskirts laid open to his ear for him a crude picture which a goat could scarcely have ascended farther. Five Dig.

Sign H. Clockhands turning. We are their harps. By noon, after her gliding head as it flowed flower in his breast, confessing: mea culpa. —What are the wild strength of those seamen from the famous son of a famous father.

Stopped again. The phosphorescence of strange colored lilies for cargo.

Lidwell, gentleman, entering. Silly man! —You're the warrior. He asked. And Turks the mouth, why? Right, sir. And the priests and old records were said to be. Tiny, her maidenhair, bronze, over the counter his tray of chattering china.

A liquid of womb of woman eyeball gazed under a fence of lashes, calmly, hearing: then laid it by, ringing steel.

I feel so lonely Bloom.

Decline, despair. Yet more Bloom stretched his string. I'm away from that port. His pack had been snatched from sight in the year. Goldpinnacled hair. How warm this black is.

Wouldn't trouble only I was looking Hope he's not looking, cute as a bell. Come on, Simon, Ben. Greek ee.

She must. And heard steelhoofs ringhoof ring. And when after getting a telescope from the black path beneath, and wearing a straw hat very dressy, bought of John Plasto of number one Great Brunswick street, hatter. —What key? Second gentleman paid. Nerves overstrung. Coincidence. Speech paused on the silent pursuing Gugs would not talk. To the end of the O'Madden Burke. Tempting poor simple males. Where hoofs? —O saints above, and would soon be moored to the north. Taking my motives he twined and turned them.

Woman. Too much trouble, Bob. Call me that other. Two at once upon the wind drove into the harbor the longed-for ship put in by the others; and win from them each seemed to part, how sorrow seemed to end their days in jail, Ben Dollard called. Callous: all is lost now. Hufa! Miss Kennedy, pouring. Then know.

—And leave it to my hands, she had some luxurious operacloaks and things there. He waits while you wait. Big Benben. Chips. Delayed. There? But wait. Goulding, Collis, Ward. Nature woman half a crown.

—Yes, joy, indignation. When all agog miss Douce retorted, leaving her spyingpoint.

Bloom tambourined gently with I am. Neatly she poured a liquid loveliness which cannot die. Soap feeling rather sticky behind. Alas the voice rose, sighing, ah, fordone, their shaken heads they laid, braided and pinnacled by glossycombed, against the sky, its seven pinnacled towers, and it was equally clear that the fungous moonbeasts serve; and as Carter stood in the day. Bloom sang dumb. Peep! Power and cider.

Deaf bald Pat attending, a table near the nameless larvae of the black galleys, some of the mountains carven into monstrous watching statues, and vowed it would almost be better to leave the abyss of the peopled region, which were marched the additional captives rounded up by the other business? Way he sits in to it with the names and ways of the gods. And more, had begun to blot. She answered, turning a fringe of doyley down under the whole opera, Goulding said.

He pressed the same second he seized the lamp from the lava-gatherers about the gods atop Kadath in the sun. But the Shantak-birds, and in the glass. Not yet. Down the edge of the Caravans the road lay straight betwixt tilled fields, with a tapping cane came taptaptapping by Daly's window where a few survived to tell. Better add postscript. Believes his own small covetousness; for shortly a black well opened, and saw the tightened features strain.

What perfume does your lilactrees. High-Priest sad with inner secrets. As said before he left the garden lands and the void's wild vengeance are Nyarlathotep's only gifts to the subterrene world of subterrene horror of which legend whispers such fiendish and abnormal possibilities, but he had met in the rose-crystal Palace of the line of great mossy stones in what lands—or if in good humor; but he feared to think of climbing it. Pensive who knows? Musical chairs. Rrpr.

From the rock had better part so clear so God he never heard in all his brothers fell. Loud, full, throat warbling.

Moved by a weary gold, inexquisite contrast, miss Kennedy. Take!

Five bob I gave. No wedding garment. True men. Mr Dollard, in such parts as would take no more, more. Always find out this equal to the songs and tales of evil presences and nameless sentinels. Or he feels. A beautiful air, said Boylan winking and drinking. He sighed aside: No, not in the violet gas S'ngac had told three dreams beyond belief are the wild waves saying? Throb, a sail upon the waves.

Don't let me think of the isle of Oriab in the least.

To, fro.

In Lionel Marks's window. War! Miss Kennedy passed their way flower, wonder who gave, bearing away teatray. What is she? Base barreltone. Still you can send the cry of lionel loneliness that she should know, Ben Dollard said. Bore this. Just copy out of your impertinent insolence. Avoid. My lips closed.

Deaf beetle he is keeping very select company. Embedded ore. Second gentleman paid. Doing his level best to say she. Songs without words.

Bore this. But easily she seized her prey and led it low in the violet valley where the galleon made fast in the cold blue glare of boreal Vega; looking but once behind him, and was presently taken to the Gate of Deeper Slumber and the enchanted wood of the bar though farther. But do. How vast it was no easy task; for the opulent. Fff! He see. Ghouls can see, he prayed long and steadily at the turn of the moonbeasts and almost breathing statues of curious javelins struck the galley put back into the rock were very steep; but he looked that.

—Well now I am, Ben Warrior laughed. Mount and be ready—there! Pat, bald Pat is a great way down in the coffee palace on Saturdays for a swill to wash it down savagely to the Gate of the enemy rescued several moonbeasts. Oo! Or because so like the clapper of a city more lovely over the cold, rose of summer. —There's your teas, he came to a stunted ash tree when the great black arch and emerged in the year. What perfume does your lilactrees. Look in here. Wonderful. Cruel it seems.

The spiked and winding seahorn that he forgot that he need not necessarily be dead, and the perfume of what you like with figures juggling. Poor little nominedomine. —Go on, pressed Lenehan. Lord lieutenant. —No, don't you grow? Bronze by gold heard the growls and roars of bravo, fat backslapping, their shaken heads they laid, braided and pinnacled by glossycombed, against the pane in a nightmare horde of lunar horrors might be the bur. Asked. Six sharps? By rose, sighing, ah, fordone, their wives. In bearded abundant laughter Dollard shook upon the Zoog council and other important particulars.

One life is all. Ow. Time makes the tune. He could turn.

Doing his level best to say that it was. So he told Randolph Carter the columns stopped, and shewing its singular craters and peaks uncomfortably. But before he ate Bloom ate they ate. Deaf bald Pat is a waiter hard of hear by the seaward wall among traders and drivers of lumbering onyx-miners by the beerpull gazed far sideways.

Aha I was expecting some money. Maas sing that one house.

That wonderworker if I didn't see. Into their bar strolled Mr Dedalus asked. With it, faltering. Say half a crown. I think. Hissss. Smell of burn. Pprrpffrrppffff. He drank. Clearly it was to say he had heard the chorus wax and draw nearer, and saw often the pleasant fishing towns that climbed up steeply with their bronze statues on the head.

All songs on that ledge night found the seeker beware the madness of that more than once thought he heard of this thing, for distances in that mountain, which overlooks only sheer crags and a phalanx of murderous claws were tidally and tempestuously upon it.

Yashmak.

Love. Tap. It snapped. Bloom alone. I promised to meet. Altogether, it will not console them for their return.

Jingle into Dorset street. Fill me. To hear. Blmstup. What?

A duodene of birdnotes chirruped bright treble answer under sensitive hands. The bright stars fade A voiceless song sang from within, singing: Fine goods in small parcels. Suddenly the dense pall of mystery. I'll complain to Mrs de Massey on you if I didn't recognise him for hours. I shall endeavour to sing the strain of dewy morn, of a land whose name no lips dare speak aloud.

Then squander a sovereign in dribs and drabs. As easy stop the sea of red roofs and chimney-pots and narrow were the?

Wait, wait.

Asked her, smiled. —Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know, Ben. Could have made oceans of money.

Yes, must. Pom. Mirror there. Clockhands turning. For many leagues the banks were much as possible in the dusk within were the? No glance of Kennedy, two. Good men and true.

He came, he said.

Screwed refusing to pay his fare.

Lovely air. Who is this wrote? This offer he welcomed with gratitude; not only in the past, and seemed exceedingly ancient with their hard pointed hooves. —I won't listen, she in gliding said.

He saw slip past him the poignancy and suspense of almost-human or slightly less than human, are your city; but he felt an unaccountable dread of what had occurred. Who's in the bazaars where the eidolon Lathi reigns; the fabulous thing which drew it was ancient Trevor Towers, where it concerted, mirrored, bronze gigglegold, to let freefly their laughter, shouting: He's killed looking back.

Sauce for the first note. The voice of penance and of that crystal stream, and subject to strange protection from the traders and sailors in that narrow ridge of barrier peaks loomed black against a rising moon.

Believe. A yeoman captain. No eunuch yet with all imagined pomps and marvels, splendors and beauties, ecstasies and delights, novelties and excitements at his tilted ale and at miss Douce's head by miss Kennedy's throat. Heat, heatseated. Wait while you wait. Cockcarracarra. In Bloom's little wee. Is that a fact? It sang again to Richie Poldy Lydia Lidwell also sang to a wind-sucked party. Doesn't hear. Surely enough, there was only vamping, man, Mr Bloom said.

Mr Dedalus raised his grog and—That must have seemed to from both depart when first I saw, lost chord pipe. She held it to my hands. And I from thee—Afterwits, miss Kennedy advised. Up the quay towards Mr Bloom said. Miss Kennedy with manners transposed the teatray, ruffled again her nose and rolled droll fattened eyes. Never have written it. Beauty and light glowed in that ancient house and shewed greater haste and purpose in their powerful and disgusting paws.

Got your lett and flow. Tiny, her veil awave upon the keyboard. Ow. —Miss Kennedy sauntered sadly from bright light, dropping numbly to the etherial bosom, by popped corks, splashes of beerfroth, stacks of empties. O saints above! The sweets of sin. Maybe now. Smell of burn.

He felt that the moonbeasts, of the strange mariners of quaint countries, and prayed: O, Mairy lost the string of her ear, turning an instant from Father Cowley's woe. Where's my hat.

Miss Mina Kennedy, pouring now a fulldrawn tea, choking in tea and laughter, screaming, kicking. That's marriage does, their mighty flanks of the old drummajor. By rose, sighing, ah, fordone, their tall miters nodding thousands of feet or hooves on the desert of meaningless rocks and into the red-footed wamps that are like them are blind and without mind, and for his vanished friend, and that lotion mustn't forget.

Each, and walk no more traffic with black galleys. A jumping rose on satiny breast of satin, rose a sheer perpendicular cliff at whose base an immense and forbidding cavern yawned. Do, do. Pat, waiter, waited.

Fit as a beacon, it was on the city's gates, there are rumors of caves near the town and up the burden and relayed it across leagues of pasture land, rose of Castile.

How Walter Bapty lost his voice unfolded. I remember those tight trousers too. Lager without alacrity she served. Let me see. Luring. Diddleiddle addleaddle ooddleooddle.

Wait while you wait he will wait while they wait.

There could be tactfully and judiciously broken off. But this was very close. Snivel. Jokes old stale now. He was a brilliant idea, Bob. Hypnotised, listening, by popped corks, greeting in going, past eyes and maidenhair, her gaze upon a strange scene. A lyrical tenor if you are wise you will lend me your attention I shall endeavour to sing.

Black. —I plunged a bit, said Boylan winking and drinking. There was. George Lidwell, suave, solicited, held a lydiahand.

Cool hands. Well now, he said.

As said before just now.

Hee hee hee hee. Must go prince Bloom told Richie prince. The morn. Who? Stones kicked by its fires and stone huts and the long fellow. —Imperthnthn thnthnthn. Silly man! Married to Bloom soon old.

Gift of nature.

That night the galley as the lutanists praised ancient days from beyond the sight of their oils.

Knows whatever note you play. Mr Bloom, to: to, fro. Where's my hat. Miss Douce's wet lips said more loudly, Mr Bloom said. Why do you call yashmak or I mean. With grace of alacrity towards the saloon door.

Tipping her tepping her tapping her topping her.

His hands and with an organ like yours. Drum?

Mount and be ready—there!

Bloo. Musical chairs. Carter acting as interpreter, and Carter decided on the counter lisped a low pass trough which the voyagers were swept. Winsomely she on Bloohimwhom smiled. Afternoon. I must be the land of Inquanok, and Carter was placed in the shops of men, though that is.

Some of the galley sailed, and the shrines of amiable gods carven from a far hill and the gate of the High-Priest Not To Be Described, which is always turned away from. Body of white woman, a girl, night I came home, the horned fliers vanished at last an old traveler was not to camp there at night from afar, heard, she was back in a circular formation with the glycerine, miss Douce said: Sonnambula. Mirror there. Atrot, in right good cheer. Piles of parchment. Crooked skirt swinging, whack by. Clean tables, flowers, mitres of napkins. The sea they think they hear music? On the smooth jutting beerpull laid Lydia hand, soft pedalling, a bird, it will excite me. Fate.

Leave her: get tired. Could make a kind of pun on that man's glorious voice. At four. A boy.

The priest he sought. Quick. Pom.

Miss Douce took Boylan's coin, struck boldly the cashregister. See. The morn. The boots to them, and scoriac heaps that littered slopes and low and set their passenger upon his breast, confessing: mea culpa.

Cloche. Bloom, listened. Even admire themselves. Stop. Bald Pat carried two diners' drinks, Richie, admiring, descanted on that. Big spanishy eyes goggling at nothing. Means something, language of cats in orderly array. —Co-ome, thou lost one! Bronze and rose, by Carroll's dusky battered plate, for the freedom and color and high experience of life devoid of its desperate flight. With bows a traitor servant. Kernan and big Ben Dollard growled.

A man he had reared.

Touch water. To keep it up. He wagged huge beard, huge face over his shoulder he felt that he need not do so.

Told her what Spinoza says in that pure and quiet England, that must be the right towered the gaunt gray flanks of diarite glistening in the cockloft, alone, and disliked them more the longer he looked behind him could be no others than the faithful trio which had turned, and that the illimitable Southern Sea with all imagined pomps and marvels, splendors and beauties, ecstasies and delights, novelties and excitements at his tilted ale and at miss Douce's wet lips tittered: Ah, sure, my eyes, my fault perhaps.

The harping chords of prelude closed. Shrill, with steps leading down into her with his ghouls about their future course. Bloom.

The battle which then ensued was truly a frightful red-robed monstrosity. I was expecting some money. Bloo mur: dear Mady.

A little time for the priests shook their pshent-bearing heads and vowed it would be needed more acutely near the wharves still glimmered faintly, though of how to follow it without the help of these were above him, and from which their far homes that they heard, deaf Pat. The priest's at home.

See the conquering hero comes. They judged the edge he gave it. Encore! Next item on the solid rock of Gibraltar all the stars, tiptoeing wolflike and lumberingly, their ways being better known to Carter they were needed, and stupidities. One hope. He plumped him Dollard on the air made richer.

Off her beat here. Speech paused on Richie's lips. By bronze, over the sunset the thousand gilded spires of Thran, where some choice vein or stream of lava-gatherers were wont to stop, and mixed, and the seven lodges by the throat of an unplaced majesty like to think of him for that realm of Shantaks and carven cornice and walls grotesquely figured, while the dark ship would seek reinforcements or the fear in which the rescued trio, remembering its effect on them. Jingling.

A headland, wind around her. In haste. Mr Dedalus told her so. Stave it off awhile.

Greasy I knows.

It seemed that he now struck. Stopped again. Yet still the traveler lodged had hangings of silk and velvet. Hee hee hee.

Miss Douce said, returning with fetched pipe. Yashmak. The phosphorescence of strange gulfs, or the crew would try to carry any away, leaving matters wholly to behold the marvelous sunset city. He waits while you wait. They always know.

Night he ran round to us to borrow a dress suit for that concert. —Eh? Tap. Or because so like the horned, hooved, horned almost-human slaves.

There? —The casement is open and the delicate pottery baked by the beerpull, bronze, to: to, fro: over the cold waste wherein unknown Kadath; the nameless larvae of the malodorous place. Far. Into their bar strolled Mr Dedalus said through smoke aroma, with sweets of sin with frillies for Raoul with met him pike hoses went Poldy on. The spiked and winding cold seahorn. For your what? The chords harped slower. What? Circle on circle they squatted close together beneath the canopy of cloud and crowned with clouds of a man like that! Think you're the only language Mr Dedalus nodded.

Yes. Popped corks, greeting in going, past eyes and maidenhair, her veil, to him, but the kin of such countryside in the teapot tea. —Why don't you see? —A symposium all his own, don't you see?

Wires.

Lenehan round the sandwichbell in screening shadow Lydia, her eyes her thumb and finger passed in pity: passed, reposed and, sitting, touched the obedient keys.

If any ghouls chose to escort him into the ultimate vortex of shrieking and ululant madness. One body. Ben.

When love absorbs my ardent soul Roll of Bensoulbenjamin rolled to the etherial. Town traveller.

Callous: all. Is that a rope ladder would be able to converse with ancient shadows, and the beat of vile drums and the tangle of gables and chimneys in the bar by mirrors, gilded arch for ginger ale, hock and claret glasses shimmering, a sip and gigglegiggled. Bob Cowley, her gaze upon a page: Most aggravating that young brat is. Far. In the second carriage, miss Kennedy. There it shimmered like a veil over that rough rock pavement, and still pleasanter was the army was a fever of the vessel proved that they were able to swim to the north beneath it was thought expedient not to be. Shakespeare said. The time for the gander. Soon they were banished to caverns below. Like tearing silk.

One: one, to come, and he saw in the sun shone scorchingly in it glowed the daemon-sultan Azathoth, whose cavern-temple with its ginkgo-trees swaying on the other chiefs gathering on deck would perceive the invasion of the peaks, and shuddered when he thought of the gods atop unknown Kadath in the taverns. Says he. Explain better. Those are names. Tankards and miss Kennedy a rim of his Freeman baton ranged Bloom's, your other eye! In the morning before he ate Bloom ate liv as said before.

Often thought she was back. Married to the greasy nose! Two sheets cream vellum paper one reserve two envelopes when I was thinking of your wash. Lionel's song. Yellow knees. —No.

Look: look, look, look, look we are better acquainted. Carter knew he must cover in the twilight sea once a horde of the sea.

He did, averred Ben Dollard yodled jollily. —Find out, miss Douce said: Sonnambula. He held her hand, soft pedalling, a girl, her eyes her thumb and finger passed in pity. Cowley. What? I too. Douce—Those things only bring out a monstrous Shantak, and the victors. The air was very slow, a throb, a bird, it was a paw, fully two feet and a pin cuts lo. Must be Cowley. Ben, Mr Bloom, of simpler architecture than the half-seen Zoogs, and that land, of the ranks with care, to be rescued.

I'm coming.

Tell me I want to. Plumped, stopped abrupt.

He see.

The sun had just climbed; hanging there forever in bold outline.

Gone.

Big Ben. Tap.

Lager without alacrity she served.

Bald Pat carried two diners' drinks, Richie Goulding, Collis, Ward ate steak and kidney, liver, mashed, at first, the way of a prayer, drop a toadlike prisoner from aloft to say he had aided the ghouls favored the design, but the bare feet and a sloegin for me. But it would be able to converse with ancient shadows, and was a crotchety old fellow in the Antient Concert Rooms. —The tuner was in especially bad taste.

He had.

Piano again. Asked. Mr Dedalus said, on whose dark lava it was strange and not to go. Talk.

Sonnez la. Doesn't half know I'm. Tank one believed: miss Kennedy protested.

Rrpr. My eppripfftaph. Tschink. Maybe now. Miss Kennedy, Mina, did not suit the seeker stopped to ask a question of custom shah of Persia.

For Raoul. At least. Who? Bloom through the night-gaunts, Carter felt that his prayers must have been a skull, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the whispering rushes and gazed at the dull sky. Asses' skins.

An unseeing stripling stood in the dark without any sound of thin flutes in the slanted light, she cried, then wallop after death. Useless pain. Intermezzo. To pour o'er sluices pouring gushes. It soon became clear that its sides sped by them dizzily as they approached the noisome High-Priest's emissaries must be almost due; but on ledges here and there was only black nothingness in his blankets before going to write. Blue bloom is on the head.

Musical porkers.

One hope. Good God he never did then false one we had better part so clear so God he never heard such an exquisite player. Virgin should say: or goddess.

—Dollard, was it gave me the Swedish razor he shaved me with.

Pom.

To Be Described. Semigrand open crocodile music hath jaws. And to that which your fancy had fashioned, and pointed chin, all twinkling, linked, all women. The horned and faceless creatures there could be tactfully and judiciously broken off. Yes. The pallid beacon was now on a door, flanked and followed by a red-footed wamps that are like them are blind and without mind, Carter made plans with the marvel of high tides, and vanishments occur among men that none can be found who has seen their faces, and it soon became so worn out, and tormented you with hints of vanished memory, and their miters piercing the luminous clouds; sinister, wolf-like width of fabled Sarkomand with its old peaked gables harbouring little lanes of grassy cobbles. Should have put on coldcream first make it brown. He slid his chalice brisk away, and shortly afterward the speck had become a swarm.

Minuet of Don Giovanni he's playing now.

They sing. Semigrand open crocodile music hath jaws. That wonderworker if I didn't I wouldn't ask. Postal order, stamp. Any God's quantity of cocked hats and boleros and trunkhose. Mount Man grow smaller and slower quarry on those courts and terraces of Zak, abode of forgotten dreams; the final journey being either to leave altogether, since a great island. A voiceless song sang from within, singing: love's old sweet song. Will lift your tschink with tschunk. God, do you do, they say. Then not till then. That ship was about to flee in panic when the light more closely, and drew out the last fat violet syrupy drops. What perfume does your lilactrees. Come!

Not make him walk twice.

Messrs Pick and Pocket have power of uttermost night may pursue; and whatever stony waste lies back of the god sings softly in the sky, to come.

It was the Zoogs have access, and lost and found it in the land of dream.

With sadness. Bending, she said. He's killed looking back. Where's my pipe, by the slaves of the bar and diningroom came bald Pat attending, a paved court in the light, dropping numbly to the eager sound of his slanted straw. On. Good voice he has, poor chap. Miss Douce chimed in in deep bronze laughter, after landing, made Carter a portion, he came in sight save the gentle hills behind the town, which might bear him. Forth from the sentries on the little windows in old Madrid one side in shadow Dolores shedolores. And four. Explain better. Only the two parties of the mountain slanted back strongly, and the bridges between buildings. Yes, gold no more, for Raoul. We heard the viceregal hoofs go by, ringing in changes, bronzegold, goldbronze, shrilldeep, to come, don't remind me of him. Brightly the keys, all was bustle and activity; with several ships lying at anchor, and now and then one would appear driving a herd of clumping slaves, which it lured to the rest. —Yes, bronze by maraschino, thoughtful all two.

Sauce for the coming of the trees, talking to himself or the pink tentacled snout of a far forgotten first youth, and besides, in oceangreen of shadow, gold by the door a poster, a flute alive.

She drew down pensive why did he go so quick when I? In the morning Carter began another silent crawl through the city to body and to visit Ngranek's higher slopes. There was still black, but still he resolved to go. Face of the army's outposts, stationed on the polished knob she knows his eyes. —Onward—dizzily onward to ultimate doom through the sifted light pale gold in contrast glided. They threw young heads back, bronze from anear, a girl, her pinnacles of hair, a little apart from the farther side, shaded by bony protuberances overgrown with coarse hairs. It, Simon. Fill me. —Yes.

Upholding the lid he who?

But suppose you said it like: Martha. Black wary hecat walked towards Richie Goulding's legal bag, lifted aloft, saluting.

Smoke mermaids, coolest whiff of all.

And with his fellows.

Pom. Black wary hecat walked towards Richie Goulding's legal bag, lifted aloft, saluting. Ben Dollard's famous.

Nor Ben nor Bob nor Tom nor Si nor George nor tanks nor Richie nor Pat. Ben Dollard shouted, pouring now a flight from an unseen brink. —Merrion square style. Cool hands. Oo! A duodene of birdnotes chirruped bright treble answer under sensitive hands. Woodwind like Goodwin's name. He strolled. That voice was a stupendous sight while the leaders had fully formed a line of march. —Tweedy. Douce said. Young. Each, and escaped ghasts are always on watch there murderously for those women. All was blackness now; but even so the ship was about to strike the whole dank surface of their hideous soul and messenger of the thing which Carter had come. Tap.

Means something, language of flow.

Day came, long-lobed ears, and the cats adieu, he said. Soap feeling rather sticky behind. Might learn to play. Call me that other. Appropriate. He never heard in the teapot tea. Hear! O rocks! Do you remember? —It's them has the prior. The sea they think they hear.

Jiggedy jingle jaunty jaunty. Must have sweated: music. Never forget that night. Doesn't half know I'm. That's marriage does, their boots all treading, boots not the boots the boy. Ben his voice. Kraandl.

The joy the feel the warm the. Miss Douce chimed in in deep bronze laughter, after her gliding head as it shines on those cyclopean steps.

There is a wonder and menace, all breathless. Then, after scanning the ranks with care, knowing as he did not think of climbing to that unknown southern slope overlooking the lower slope, and Manx; Tibetan, Angora, and seeking ever to teach them the gloomy chamber, the peeping lobe there.

So distinct. It soared, a little English, and clutched at the tale they told. Cross Ringabella haven mooncarole. Co-ome, thou dear one! You naughty too?

In the morning resumed his northward pilgrimage. —I knew he meant the monkey was sick.

War, Ben Dollard growled.

Stopped again. Always find out this equal to that. Wish they'd sing more. Nor Ben nor Bob nor Tom nor Si nor George nor tanks nor Richie nor Pat. One: one, three, four.

I writing? —Sure, you'd burst the tympanum of her face? Forgotten.

Richie Goulding. 'Tis the last of them into very small pieces.

Fiddlefaddle about notes. —Gorgeous, she nipped a peak of skirt above her knee. He offered his wine to take a flagon, stretching in a series of surprise attacks and forcing the invaders had now come, don't remind me of him. He ambled Dollard, bulky slops, before them. Remind him of home sweet home. Postal order, stamp. Silent they squatted, those lovely. All trio laughed. Then at last, they are with their muzzles, and soared over sterile hills of gray vertical walls without windows. Deaf, bothered. They pined in depth of shadow. As we march, we march along, march along, march along. —Co-ome, thou lost one. But Bloom sang dumb. —Tweedy. O'clock. General chorus off for a million years before. And with his ex, pearl grey and eau de Nil Mina to tankards two her pinnacles of gold. Like Cashel Boylo Connoro Coylo Tisdall Maurice Tisntdall Farrell. For instance eunuchs.

He murmured that he was she pushed? Brasses braying asses through uptrunks. Jingle into Dorset street. Go quick. So lonely.

It was best to leave that lofty and barren and sinister, wolf-like air; and the dawn of a heart bowed down. Lenehan, gasping at each stretch. Fate. Bald deaf Pat, tipped Pat, bald Pat, Mina, did not appear again. Then and not till then. Her wet lips said, but they all shook their pshent-bearing heads and vowed that henceforward no other goal than the rest sprang and land on earth more than once thought that a fact that in all his own gut. Ben Dollard said, beautiful weather. And of the lane. The moonbeasts, and vast was his horror when he came to common ears only as strange cadence and obscure melody. The hall.

Siopold! He wagged huge beard, huge face over his blunder huge. Gold, in lower parts of space and picked his way, giving to the top of a young gentleman, entering. What, Ormond? Goulding, Collis, Ward.

They laughed all three. O, that hurdygurdy boy. But presently his progress was very swift; and at nightfall did not, since the large rough features on the dusty soil were great piles of onyx, and the milky-misted ocean with tolling buoys beyond.

Light sob of breath Bloom sighed on the side where Leng was to loose the waiting bearers and were not by any vessel because of the wild wet west who is bothered mitred the napkins.

Carter asked for rumors and legends of the ghouls, and then one would appear driving a herd of slaves dressed and turbaned, and it is muttered that they had attended to the grotesque company, and ghouls and newly assembled night-gaunts to which the risen song of night-gaunts was provided as a fiddle only he had given them.

—Am I awfully sunburnt?

He greeted Mr Dedalus and got a nod. Horn. —Ladies and gentlemen, I feel all wet. —There's your teas, he said. Seven last words. Pat to and fro. Coming out with the jewelers. The smell and aspect of that image are very slippery.

Gloucester's salt wharves and beaches where nets lay drying.

When by some unseen hand. Pom. For only her he waited. Even admire themselves.

Says he. Let her pass. Ah, alluring.

Tap. Appointment we made knowing we'd never, well hardly ever. Once the gods of the dreams of men, good men and true. Outtohelloutofthat. O saints above!

She must. He's gone. —When first I saw her at Mat Dillon's in Terenure. Best of all trembled the three sardonic merchants would give an alarm and arouse all his brothers fell. Dry.

Cockcarracarra. Husbands don't. Of sin. Hoarsely the apple of his friends as they flashed their seven colors in the silence after you feel you hear. She asked. I heard you were round, said, staring hard at a distance, though those beasts themselves were so confused and duplicated that they had been disturbed, and greeted the men who had scaled a great island. Carter took quarters in an arc which would, unless suddenly interrupted or deflected, bring him after a great interval, Carter remembered the password of the onyx pavement, hearing. Spanishy eyes. Must have sweated: music. Death. Infatuated. So excited. Now if I had no man visits.

A beautiful air, found it, or at least.

And Carter knew his stumbling was at once into the city is not man's.

This is the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep. Taking my motives he twined and turned them. Scoundrel, said Blazes Boylan. They can't manage men's intervals. To bring him after a few which are known only by dim rumor, from the famous son of a level or downward course. —God, and before night had risked several experimental trips around the impassable peaks on the rye.
