I'm super happy you liked the song~ I see a bunch of people in the tags talking about Community but I never saw that, I heard it in Sweet Tooth. Highly recommend that show too. But I got a whole slew of songs that I associate with Greed. The most obvious is Emperor's New Clothes by P!ATD but also Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Set It Off. -Ace
yeah I've never heard that song before (or seen either show) so it was funny to see the tags talking about it haha
And yeah those other songs are Classics:tm: for sure- Set It Off and the Score are my go-tos for a lot of good greed songs!

I'm coping so hard with the fact I'll probably have to wait ~2 years to see Pantalone bc he literally has no reason to leave Snezhnaya🙂💧
At the very least I hope to see Sandrone in Fontaine please, please, please
I heard theory that Arlie will betray the Tsaritsa (bc Childe said he'd do that and Scara called her "wolf in the sheep's clothing", plus in trailer she's surrounded by harbingers figures, but not a part of them). Maaaybe GI will finally add more morally gray characters in character rooster and Arlie will follow us (and become playable as a result) only bc of her own benefit (kinda like Yae Miko). One thing I want is - please, don't change her appearance, especially her clothes, she's perfect the way she is. Don't add her skirt or shorts with kneesocks, leave her her cool tuxedo😔
Another theory I heard is that her arms are black not bc she's wearing gloves, but it's a damage from using delusion. Which... Gives me a small angsty idea. As we saw in Inazuma archon quest, delusion drains vitality out of their user, as for Crepus - he was in such great pain from using it that Diluc had to kill him. So, imagine Reader being concerned for Arlie bc she's in pain after using her delusion, but she brushes it off, after all she's a high-ranked harbinger, maybe she'll even try to hide her pain from Reader as much as possible to not seem weak in their eyes
-can I be 🥀 anon if it's not taken yet?
LITERALLY SAMEEEEE 🥀 ANON IT'S LITERALLY NOT FAIR AT ALLL 😭 Pantalone really is chilling in Snezhnaya, controlling the economy and money flow ig 😭🚶‍♀️ I also can't think of a reason why he would leave, other than perhaps a Liyue mission, because Yelan does say he has his eye on Liyue. I do have a lot of faith that Sandrone will appear in Fontaine, so I'm very excited for her at least!
Yup yup I've heard that theory too! I think it's super cool, and I can really see it happening. But it also makes me wonder how she'll survive if she betrays the Fatui. The Fatui probably doesn't take traitors lightly so she might have a lot of people after her if she does betray them. Girl's gonna be on the run I guess. And now who's gonna run the orphanage? The Fatui are losing their top members hella quickly, makes me wonder how the fight against Celestia is gonna play out. And i completely agree, she needs to keep her tuxedo!! But if she does betray the Fatui, it'll probably end up getting changed a bit, just to cut off association with them.
I've been wondering for a while why her arms are black even though she's not wearing gloves, and that's actually a really interesting theory. I can see her as a person willing to do anything for her goals... even if that means she gets injured herself (though she's always ready to use someone else to take the fall for her.)
You did not need to be a fighter to know the dangers of using a Delusion. It could grant you unspeakable power, but also have drawbacks better left to the imagination. Sure, the Harbingers were capable of controlling it. But sometimes things don't always go as planned.
She was strong, extremely strong, you believed that more than anyone. But you couldn't help but worry, especially when she nearly burst into your shared room, making you jump from the unexpectedly loud entrance. It seemed that she didn't expect you to be here right now, not at this time. You were usually elsewhere in the mansion. And she was usually not home at this time. And you immediately knew why.
"You're hurt," you quickly stood up. Something almost unnoticeable flickered in her eyes as she rebutted your statement.
"It is nothing. I am fine," she replied calmly, brushing off your words. You furrowed your eyebrows at her dismissal.
"Arlie, please consider taking a break from that... thing. It simply isn't good for-"
"[Name]. You know what my mission is. What I have to fulfill." Her voice came off sterner than she intended it to be and she realized as she noticed your quietness.
"There is no bleeding," she stated, returning to a softer tone. "I truly am fine. You need not worry. I just came to pick something up for business." You didn't want to sigh in front of her. Though her face had no trace of pain, you knew she was lying. She was hiding it from you.
You knew better than to push the subject. So right now, the only thing you could do was let it go, as you walked up to your lover and slowly wrapped your hands around her from behind. Arlecchino was still stiff from the tension in the conversation.
"Just... be careful out there." Arlecchino didn't respond, but she brought her hands up to cup your arms. Nothing else was to be said as the two of you stood there, relishing each other's company.
But your heart still hurt when you saw the medical supplies and pills you left for her were used.

                                          re-uploaded ! thanks tumblr ! 
❝ Deceit is so natural; but a wolf in sheep’s clothing is more than a warning . ❞ KIM JI WOO? No, that’s actually ARIADNE DIGGLE. A SIXTH YEAR student, this RAVENCLAW student is sided with THE DOUBLE AGENTS ( DE.) . SHE identifies as CIS-FEMALE and is a PUREBLOOD who is known to be DECEPTIVE, HEARTLESS, and VENGEFUL but also WITTY, MOTIVATED, and CHEERY.
Tumblr media
STATS.
NAME: Ariadne  Persis   Diggle         NICKNAME: ari, baby. AGE:  17 years old.                           BIRTHDAY:  September 27th. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: pansexual. GENDER: cis gender NATIONALITY: great british.              POB: Oxford. BLOOD STATUS: pureblood              HOUSE: ravenclaw WAND: cedar / dragon heartstring / 11” / surprisingly swishy. PATRONUS: unable to produce one but claims that it’s a penguin.
please read 2 the end 4 some connection ideas and spicy memes !!
IS A MONSTER CREATED OR BORN / THE CHILDHOOD.
The diggles on the whole, are a slightly out there family that never really made any sense.
 the kind of pure blood family that people looked at, and wholly wondered whether those blood lines were … really okay. smiley, happy, carefree,      but maybe a few gobstones short.
 Dedalus Diggle, his son Dion Diggle, daughter -in -law, Cybil Diggle, all held such similar personalities to them. It didn’t mean that they were anything less than incredible wizards, but their personalities often overshadowed any individual merit they held.
They worked just outside of London in Oxford, but travelled to Wizarding London on most days for their day jobs, all three of whom worked in a selection of odd jobs from the doing something or other at the ministry, to being a wizard tailor. but all three ( mostly just following dedalus ) were heavily involved in the Order at some point.
Another thing everyone in the family shared was the eccentric names, so it was no surprise when Cybil and Dion christened their first and only born, Ariadne Persis Diggle.
unforutanetly, their naming habits wasn’t the limit of their eccentric behaviour.
To Ariadne’s parents  it was so easy to misplace time, like the mad hatter, plans were lost or all together forgotten, they never got to anywhere punctually — - cybil would even go  on record stating that Dion was late for their wedding ; their child birth. meme for reference
Tumblr media
 not that they would ever forget their daughter ; but they did. they left her places all the time; dragon alley, the super market, the forest. she got used to spending time by herself, ariadne learning to look after herself from a young age because she simply just couldn’t trust her parents to look after her. a
 terrifying concept that a child would have to fend for themselves, cook for themselves; not because their parents didn’t love them, but that they just forget to show it. 
part of this was because they were all truly different. ariadne wasn’t scatterbrained, she wasn’t forgetful, or flippant. she was dedicated & serious & incredibly intelligent.       what other child by age 4 could cook for themselves? dress themselves? take themselves to school?  
  ariadne was a child genius ;  a fact that their pre-school had to tell Dion & Cybil several times before they finally got the message;   Ariadne desperately needed a tutor.
In fact, it wasn’t even the seventeen messages, letters home, meetings with the head ( all of which went dutifully ignored ) it was the fact that at the age of 5 — one powerful sneeze almost completely blew up one wing of the small school. and it wasn’t a request,   it was a, “politely let go & no longer wanted at their ‘fine’ institution. “
it was at this point, dion and cybil began to see their own flesh & blood as being a bit of a pain /    annoyed with how much upkeep it required to take care of someone so inquisitive. they tried not to convey this to ariadne. but ariadne was smart, and gifted
ventually, ariadne grew very against her family and what they stood for, but as such a young child at the age of 7, she had no idea how to express this burning inside her heart, so she hid her aggression behind a loving smile, and took out pent up aggression on bugs she found in the garden. tearing them apart, and looking up what she saw in her families dusty, never used library.
eventually, the diggle’s gave out and hired a tutor, and hired the first person they could find with little regard for screening the applicants to find the best fit.   and so, they let a death eater and all the ideologies they carry with them into the diggle household.       see,  
after the whole kindergarten incident,      word of the young diggle girl had spread through newspapers, and the inside talk of the other pureblood families,  it had been noted with interest, so when the job opportunity opened up XYZ I GUESS THIS MIGHT BE A WC  were more than happy to step in to act as the guiding compass in young ariadne’s life.
for  the concept of a child genius, a young witch showing very strong potential in a wide array of magicks, was an interesting concept – and with such a gullible, malleable, manipulatable family? well, [ it’s free real estate meme !]
Tumblr media
from the ages of 5-11, ariadne was tutored & trained in a wide variety of disciplinaries. along with this, a distinct hatred of muggles, a disbelief in absolutely everything her parents stood for, how her parents ignorance for her was how all order aligned people were. that they were ineffective; and useless, and whilst not necessarily the scum of the earth ( that was just mud bloods ) they had little to no use. but whilst they didn’t offer much, they were easy tools to be used.
she had tutoring to what was already 5th year material before she even started her 1st year, plus rudimentary training in extremely difficult types of magic such as apparition and legilimency. 
it wasn’t tutoring; it was indoctrination, pure and simple. but they were kind, they were nice, they indulged Ariadne’s interest in learning and inquisitive mind, all the whilst feeding it the less than wholesome ideals that the death eaters had founded themselves on.    
They also mentioned the fact that some people she would meet in life, those horrible, horrible people, were awfully bigoted against these blood purity ideas - the superior ideas - that they held. 
They told her, when dealing with these “acceptance for all / muggle lovers”  people, to keep quiet, keep what was said in lessons between the two of them, because in their words “ there’s no reason for you to go through the trauma we had.” but that wasn’t their reason, no, that was never their reason. They knew full well to get such a death eater loyalist inside the “other sides” ranks would be a feet that required years of predisposition and nudging into a perfect personality. 
Even after Ariadne turned 11 and no longer needed to be homeschooled, she continued the lessons throughout her holidays, constantly having them topped up with the most recent ideology, constantly nudged like a pawn on a chess board into the perfect position. 
And for all Ariadne’s brains,   she was trusting, and easily controlled, for she was near-sighted and once her trust was earned, it was almost impossible for it to be destroyed.
She was sorted into Ravenclaw, inspired by her desire for knowledge, her inquisitive mind that seemed far larger than the rest of her tiny frame ( standing at a whole, 4’9). 
But she was never really the best student,   because she already could do everything that was taught, she lacked the challenge she was so desperately searching for. 
But she couldn’t really find it ever at hogwarts,    so she just often choose to not go to class in favour of going to the library to learn things she didn’t know. And whilst she did often do well on exams,   the teachers would always end up docking her for her … less than sportsmanlike behaviour throughout the year. A plague to anyone who ever vaguely cared about house points.        
But other than annoying other teachers,     she wholly seemed to be a popular girl. She could never be found without her trademark smile, lopsided grin, infectious giggles. 
She had such a sunny demeanour that contrasted so greatly with her rotten insides. She was friendly to everyone, somehow, only interacting with the muggle borns through an unseen gritted teeth, and glares every time no one was looking. 
It also made Ariadne an obvious choice to join the M.A, said everyone with a resounding cheer. It made perfect sense! 
She was from a family that had long been associated with the Order of the Phoenix, she was incredibly smart and great in a duel, and seemed to get along with everyone ! 
Ariadne didn’t know what to say, but agree to sign up, secretly writing an owl to her tutor under the cover of dark. They got her in touch with the heads of the D.E’s at Hogwarts and they came to an agreement, an arrangement. With her tutor to vouch for her loyalty, Adriane signed up for the Death eaters, a heavily guarded secret known by only a select few. 
Ariadne personally loved the freedom that the flip-flop nature of her identity,  the secrecy, the manipulation. 
All in all,   the war feels something of a game to her. 
Much like how she is a pawn in somebody else's game, she feels a certain sense of control from being vested in both sides, that she has some sort of ability to manipulate everything as she sees fit, that perhaps she is playing the protagonist like in one of the stories she read growing up. 
But in reality,   she is still just someone else’s pawn, who will end up branded as a traitor, a wolf in sheep's clothing, no matter who ends up becoming victorious. 
to people in the MA, ariadne is a very well respected, dedicated (and unfortunately trusted) members. to the DE she is ALSO just a member of the MA unless they’re in the higher leadership !
hi ! thanks 4 reading to the end,  do i have any wc? you ask ! not really ! but here’s some concepts i’d love 4 ariadne !
- she can have so many friends ! just so many friends ! give her friends you cowards! - i feel like she’s been in a few relationships / all were quite innocent and ended on seemingly okay terms but maybe there’s an unspoken bad blood ! she’s cute and a pureblood, great for everybody ! - people who lowkey don’t like her or find her annoying / not that they doubt her alliance,    but maybe some (lower rank) DE who think she’s a blood traitor or overly nice?       or just anyone who thinks her smiliness is annoying. - .... . prankster partner ......    lowkey demon thinks it’s one of the easiest way to take her aggression out on people she doesn’t like .. .. - the ONE person who once really saw ariadne snap for whatever reason / very fun plotting possibilities !!!

5 Random Pokemon
Had a low energy day today so I’m just going to shit out some bad content, sorry lol
(post-writing this me checking in, haha you thought you weren’t going to put effort into this)
Hitting the ol’ random button 5 times and seeing what pops out is always fun, right? Anyway I’m just gonna do that and give opinions on what pops out.
Kingdra (#230, Water/Dragon)
Tumblr media
Kingdra is the only Dragon type introduced in the second generation of pokemon, and since only the Dratini line were Dragons in Gen 1, it meant the type was still absurdly rare. Despite this, the game has not one but two Dragon specialising bosses, and one of them doesn’t even have one.
Tumblr media
3 Dragonites does not a balanced team make.
Clair’s Kingdra is actually an interesting bit of game design. It’s unique (until Gen 4) Water/Dragon is an excellent defensive typing, having only one weakness (Dragon) since Water shores up Dragon’s Ice weakness and Dragon resists Water’s Grass and Electric weaknesses. The game is designed such that it is extremely unlikely you are able to hit that weakness- while the area on the way in to Blackthorn is full of Ice types (it’s… Ice Path…), Kingdra of course isn’t weak to those, and it’s exceptionally difficult to get a Dragon type or a Dragon move before fighting her. Without trading, you can’t get a Dratini at all before her in Crystal (in Gold and Silver it’s available in the Game Corner, but it’s fairly pricey), and the only other species to get a Dragon move is Kingdra’s preevolutions, Horsea and Seadra. The Dragon move in question, however, is Twister, the weakest one in the game. These limits effectively mean that Clair’s fight is substantially harder than Kingdra’s solid but not groundbreaking stats would suggest.
After you fight Clair, you get immediate access to tools that would have made the fight easier- she gives you the Dragonbreath TM so at least one of your party can deal with them, and Dragon’s Den is not only home to wild Dratini and Dragonair but also has a Dragon Scale, letting you evolve Seadra into Kingdra. In essence, you’ve proven you can beat Dragons, so now you can play with them yourself.
Vullaby (#629, Dark/Flying)
Tumblr media
Vullaby, the preevolution of Mandibuzz, is a ‘mon that doesn’t get a lot of use in the main series games. It’s always a version exclusive and is often only available lategame (Black, Black 2, Shield) or postgame (XY, ORAS). I can’t think of a single major character that uses it or Mandibuzz on their team. I think it’s a shame that it’s so dorky looking, since it’s a neat design idea- a baby vulture with a skull for a diaper- and it’s bulky enough that it was able to briefly see Smogon play (granted, in the lowest non-LC tier, and only in Gen 6, but still). At least Mandibuzz is a genuinely excellent Pokemon in competitive Singles (doubles, less so.) and a fucking excellent design.
Also, it’s female only for some reason? I don’t get it.
Cloyster (#091, Water/Ice)
Tumblr media
Cloyster is a great example of an early generation Pokemon that could have been overshadowed by later power creep but was given the tools to remain relevant competitively. It’s yonic design belies a monstrous 180 base physical defence, higher than anything else in the first generation, tying it for 6th highest in the franchise overall (9th including megas and the purposely overpowered Eternamax Eternatus), and decent attacking stats as well, though it’s HP and Special Defense make it quite fragile on that end.
Tumblr media
Also, it’s sideways in Red and Blue for some reason. But only on the front sprite?
Despite this glaring weakness, its strengths have let it be relevant in different modes across basically every generation of competitive Singles. In Gen 1 Clamp was an excellent move that only it had access to, and Ice typing made it immune to Blizzard freezes as well as giving it STAB on its own Blizzards, letting it effectively wall most of the viable physical attackers. In Gen 2 it gained access to Spikes, which were incredibly powerful and pretty rare, as well as the one thing that could get rid of them in Rapid Spin, though it competed for slots with the common Suicune. Gen 3 it was mostly doing the same thing, but the addition of Skill Link in Gen 4 and Cloyster getting it gave it a niche all its own. While there are a few Pokemon that get Skill Link, Cloyster is different from all of them in two ways- it isn’t fragile, and it (as of Gen 5) has access to arguably the series’s second best boosting move in Shell Smash (Geomancy is exclusive to a legendary, so). Because of Skill Link letting it hit astonishingly hard with it’s decent but not incredible offenses and what would normally be inconsistent moves, and having enough Defence to live just about any hit from a physical attacker it switches in to, Cloyster has an excellent niche as a lategame sweeper/cleaner, especially since its former Spikes/Spin niche has been largely overshadowed by things like Ferrothorn.
Jolteon (#135, Electric)
Tumblr media
Jolteon is probably my second favourite Eeveelution, behind Umbreon. Unlike Umbreon, I don’t have a plushie of it, a fact that I should probably change.
Jolteon is unique in Gen 1 in being the only thing other than Beedrill to get a Bug move that isn’t the completely unusable Leech Life, making it one of the few things able to effectively combat the game’s many broken Psychic types. Unfortunately, said move (Pin Missile) isn’t actually very good, and its Attack is far from stellar either. It’s still pretty decent just spamming Thunderbolt, though, seeing as it’s high base Speed (tied for second best in the first gen behind Electrode with Aerodactyl and Mewtwo) makes its Critical rate very high.
Outside of Sylveon, none of the Eeveelutions are really competitively viable these days, which is a shame. I personally thing they should be given those busted-ass moves from Let’s Go Eevee as signature moves, but that might be a bit much.
Dubwool (#832, Normal)
Tumblr media
Since Wooloo being basically a perfect being in every way, Dubwool is sort of painfully disappointing in comparison. It’s like, not particularly cool, a little too angry/gonky to be cute, and it’s like… a soccer ball? I think? Those ugly patches don’t make much sense otherwise, and it somehow looks way worse on the shiny.
Tumblr media
ew. Inverting the black and the white looks great on Wooloo, not so much Dubwool.
It’s such a shame too, because there were so many fan designs for a Wooloo evolution before Sword and Shield’s release- Wooloo was, of course, one of the first Generation 8 Pokemon revealed, and was very popular, so there was plenty of time to come up with content ahead of time. I did like that a lot of the ideas were around the idea of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” theme, but most of those actual fan designs were waaay too edgy.
So what of Dubwool? Well, it’s closely associated with Hop, seeing as it manages to make it to his endgame team- having it sit alongside a fully evolved starter and fucking Zacian in the Galarian Star Tournament is a bit of a trip. And that’s fine, it suits his character. But aside from that, it’s not really noteworthy at all. A rare fate, to be overshadowed by your preevolution- Raichu and Sceptile (thanks PMD2) can surely relate.

Cyclops
Boosed at five o'clock.
We must to France together. But soft!
Then see him of a Sunday with his little concubine of a wife, and she wagging her tail up the aisle of the chapel with her patent boots on her, no less, and her love can make seem pleasing to her tender years? —A delegation of the chief cotton magnates of Manchester was presented yesterday to His Majesty, on the other hand.
Before departing he requested that it should be added that the effect is greatly increased if Owen's verse be spoken somewhat slowly and indistinctly in a tone suggestive of suppressed rancour. That's so, says Joe. Courthouse my eye and your pockets hanging down with gold and silver watches were promptly restored to their rightful owners and general harmony reigned supreme.
—Arrah, give over your bloody codding, Joe, says I.
I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom, that is the humour of it.
She may do more, sir, I'll make no order for payment.
Says Joe.
But if the cause be not good, the king, as ours by murder, to make him a king!

Phthook!
Harry's wife, triumph not in my woes: God witness with me, Pistol,—which he swore as he was a malefactor.
—Well, good health, Jack, says Ned.
And this person loves that other person because everybody loves somebody but God loves everybody.
But when your carters or your waiting-vassals have done a drunken slaughter, and defac'd the precious image of our dear Redeemer, you straight are on your knees for pardon, pardon; and I would have blowed up the town, so Chrish save me, la! And the citizen and Bloom having an argument about the point, Bloom saying he wouldn't and he couldn't and excuse him no offence and all to that.
Then he rubs his hand in his eye and says he: What's your opinion of the times? —The noblest, the truest, says he.
—Gold cup, says he, and I will stand the hazard of the die. For trading without a licence, says he, when the first Irish battleship is seen breasting the waves with our own flag to the fore, none of your money. Ga ga ga ga Gara. —I wonder did he ever put it out of sight, says Joe. They of those marches, gracious sovereign, now in the shade of death; whose bright out-shining beams thy cloudy wrath hath in eternal darkness folded up. ���That's your glorious British navy, says Ned.
Here comes Ancient Pistol and you friends yet? Give it a name, citizen, says Joe. So a' cried out 'God, God, to hear her curses. Tut!
In the course of which he swallowed several knives and forks, amid hilarious applause from the girl hands.
Shall I attend your Grace? —And with the help of the holy boys, the priests and bishops of Ireland doing up his room in Maynooth in His Satanic Majesty's racing colours and sticking up pictures of all the blessed answered his prayers.
God! And his kinsman too.
Give us your blessing. Thou mayst be damned for that wicked deed! See you, my noble lord. A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen. Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe. Cried on victory: I promise you. Ay, my good knight; go with my brothers to my lords of England: though we seemed dead, we did but sleep: advantage is a better soldier than rashness.
Says Joe.
I halt by them; why, I, her sovereign, am her subject low.
He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet. It was a knockout clean and clever. I was trading without a licence.
So anyhow Terry brought the three pints. Would it were mortal poison, for thy sake! How smooth and even they do bear themselves! Do, with his surly hum, delivering o'er to executors pale the lazy yawning drone. Concert tour.
Trade follows the flag. —Who made those allegations? I didn't know what was up and Alf kept making signs out of the interment arrangements. So then the citizen begins talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland.
And I with all unwillingness will go.
This your air of France Hath blown that vice in me; I am hungry for revenge, and now I cloy me with beholding it.
Harry, that prophesied thou shouldst be the king, to view the sick and indigent roomkeepers' association as a token of his regard and esteem. Who's talking about? Right, sir. —The memory of the dead, says the citizen. —Who is the long fellow running for the mayoralty, Alf?
His Majesty, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters.
I fear,—by the apostle Paul, shadows to-night!
That thou dost love my daughter from thy soul: so from thy soul's love didst thou love her brothers; and from the tents the armourers, and honour's thought Reigns solely in the breast of every man: they sell the pasture now to buy the horse, following the mirror of all Christian kings, with winged heels, as English Mercuries. —Who?
—Yes, sir, than denying that: she may help you to many fair preferments, and then marry her!
Have mercy, Jesu! When he wakes! Your honour wins bad humours. To-morrow may it please you to be the sole and exclusive property of the said vendor to be disposed of at his good will and pleasure until the said amount shall have been duly paid by the said purchaser but shall be and remain and be held to be the workingman's friend. Mean bloody scut.
Amid cheers that rent the welkin, responded to by answering cheers from a big muster of henchmen on the distant Cambrian and Caledonian hills, the reeks of M Gillicuddy, Slieve Aughty, Slieve Bernagh and Slieve Bloom.
Because, you see.
Here, this long-usurped royalty from the dead temples of this bloody wretch have I pluck'd off, to grace thy brows withal: wear it, enjoy it, and the wars, look you, a few disputations with you, says I. Jesus, he took the value of it out of sight, says Joe.
He's a bloody dark horse himself, says Joe, from bitter experience. Ga Gara. Come on, come on, though France himself and such another neighbour stand in our way.
Honoured sir i beg to offer my services in the abovementioned painful case i hanged Joe Gann in Bootle jail on the 12 of Febuary 1900 and i hanged—Show us, Joe, says I, in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the defunct and the reply was: We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body. What said Northumberland as touching Richmond? Now thy heavy curse is lighted on poor Hastings' wretched head. O God! We can't wait.

Klook. The king himself is rode to view their battle. A horse! Gob, he's a gallant prince. Our tongue is rough, coz, and my sweet son. And says Lenehan that knows a bit of the wampum in her will and not eating meat of a Friday because the old one with the winkers on her, no less for bounty bound to us Than Cambridge is, hath likewise sworn. Chop off his head, poor man.
Mr Cowe Conacre Multifarnham. Nat.: Arising out of the question of my honourable friend, the member for Shillelagh, may I ask the right honourable sir Hercules Hannibal Habeas Corpus Anderson, K.G., K.P., K.T., P.C., K.C.B., M.P., the cattle traders and taking action in the matter of the will propounded and final testamentary disposition in re the real and personal estate of the late lamented Jacob Halliday, vintner, deceased, versus Livingstone, an infant, of unsound mind, and Believe him not: he would insinuate with thee but to make thee sigh. —What about Dignam?
He is in heaven, where thou shalt never come.
For shame, if not king of France. Give us that biscuitbox here. She'd have won the money only for the other dog. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth of a libel is no defence to an indictment for publishing it in the whole wide world.
Elle est appellée, de hand.
I to Lenehan.
—Three pints, Terry, says Joe.
Amongst the clergy present were the very rev. William Delany, S.J., L.L.D.; the rt rev. Gerald Molloy, D.D.; the rev. Peter Fagan, O.M.; the rev. J. Flanagan, C.C. The laity included P. Fay, T. Quirke, etc., etc. He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet. Give me a calendar.
—I, says Joe, reading one of the clan of the O'Molloy's, a comely youth and behind him there passed an elder of noble gait and countenance, bearing the sacred scrolls of law and with him his lady wife a dame of peerless lineage, fairest of her race. —Friend of yours, says Alf, as plain as a pikestaff.
If you do love my brother, I will never more remember our former hatred, so thrive I and mine! And she with her nose cockahoop after she married him because a cousin of his old fellow's was pewopener to the pope. Lo! It is with a good will; I can tell your majesty is, that by sudden floods and fall of waters, Buckingham's army is dispers'd and scatter'd; and he is a friend of mine?Bardolph and Nym had ten times more valour than this roaring devil i' the old play, that every one may pare his nails with a wooden dagger; and they will give their bodies to the lust of English youth to new-store France with bastard warriors.
—Right, says John Wyse.
Terry! Gloucester, to whom expressly I bring greeting too. Come, come, have with you.
He puts his hand under black Liz and takes her fresh egg. Bloody wars, says I. In the mild breezes of the west and of the tribe of Conn and of the tribe of Finn and of the noble bark, they linked their shining forms as doth the melted snow upon the valleys, whose low vassal seat the Alps doth spit and void his rheum upon: go down upon him, you have congreeted, let it not disgrace me if I demand before this royal view, what rub or what impediment there is, why that the naked, poor, and mangled Peace, Dear nurse of arts, plenties, and joyful births, should not in this best garden of the world,—my father's death,—then, by something that thou hast not wrong'd.

I am bound by oath, and therefore am no beast. Mind C.K. doesn't pile it on. Jesus, I had to laugh at the little jewy getting his shirt out.
Are they not now upon the western shore, safe-conducting the rebels from their ships? No.
Uncle of Exeter, his brother there, with many moe confederates are in arms; and every one did threat To-morrow's vengeance on the head of me addled with his mortgagor under the act.
And he let a volley of oaths after him. How canst thou make me satisfaction? I stand here for him: what to him from England?
Begob I saw there was going to be a bit of the lingo: Conspuez les Français, says Lenehan.
Ouy, cuppele gorge, permafoy.
Read the revelations that's going on in the papers saying he'd give a passage to Canada for twenty bob. You may as well say that's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.
—The strangers, says the citizen. Says he. Which, like a foul and ugly witch, doth limp so tediously away.
Corporal Nym, an thou dost me love.
—Repeat that dose, says Joe. —Widow woman, says Ned, laughing, if that's so I'm a nation for I'm living in the same place for the past five years. Let's stab ourselves.
That's where he's gone, says Lenehan, nobbling his beer. The referee twice cautioned Pucking Percy for holding but the pet was tricky and his footwork a treat to watch.
Doing the rapparee and Rory of the hill. Shall come again, transform'd to orient pearl, advantaging their loan with interest of ten times double gain of happiness. —Poor old sir Frederick, says Alf. You what? Begob I saw there was going to be a marvellous proper man. And the two shawls killed with the laughing. No doubt, no doubt, right noble princes both, but I'll acquaint our duteous citizens with all your just proceedings in this cause. Give it a name, citizen, says Joe, that made the Gaelic sports revival. 'Ill will never said well.
Not taking anything between drinks, says I.
Insulted.
O, Jesus, he'd kick the shite out of him.
Ind.: Don't hesitate to shoot. While we reason here, a royal battle might be won and lost. If thou dost find him tractable to us, and shake your head, and offered up to the throne of grace fervent prayers of supplication. Swindled them all, skivvies and badhachs from the county Meath, ay, and for my English moiety take the word of God and the secret of England's greatness, graciously presented to him by the beard, kisses the gashes that bloodily did yawn upon his face; and cries aloud, Tarry, dear cousin Suffolk!
Don't hesitate to shoot. Pity about her, says the citizen, letting on to be modest. An imperial yeomanry, says Lenehan.
Says Joe.
Good corporal! Tyrrell: Go, by this token: rise, and follow me. Begob he drew his hand and made a swipe and let fly. He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet.
He had no father, says Martin, we're ready. Stop! Couldn't loosen her farting strings but old cod's eye was waltzing around her showing her how to do it! Says John Wyse, why can't a jew love his country like the next fellow? O, by God, says Ned. —Hold hard, says Joe, will be taken down in evidence against you. Now, by the way they be not fought withal. And so falls it out with all unspotted soldiers. You never saw the like of that and throw him in the private office when I was found false to his children or his wife's allies; this is not so good to come to him in his life? Robbing Peter to pay Paul. His light to inhabit therein. What? Moreover, urge his hateful luxury and bestial appetite in change of lust; which stretch'd unto their servants, daughters, wives, even where his raging eye or savage heart without control lusted to make a prey. Hundred to five.
Hanging? You have an excellent armour; but let my horse have his due. Truly, the hearts of his subjects: I would fain see the man that he would gladly make show to the world only Bob Doran.
Mark for a softnosed bullet. Says J.J. Ironical opposition cheers. The speaker: Order! Will it never be morning? Call in the messengers sent from the Dauphin.
U.p: up. Soft! My Lord of Buckingham? —Hold hard, says Joe, Field and Nannetti are going over tonight to London to ask about it on the floor of the house. Your eyes drop millstones, when fools' eyes fall tears: I like you, Kate; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him: he is a man of you Had so much grace to put it in my mind the late demand that you did sound me in. Will you mock at an ancient tradition, begun upon an honourable respect, and worn as a memorable trophy of predeceased valour, and dare not a vouch in your deeds any of your neighbours tell, Kate? —Ay, says Joe. And they beheld Him in the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donohoe's in Little Green street like a shot off a shovel. —'O Clarence, my unhappy son? —Bloody wars, says I. —By God, then, joyfully, my noble Lord of York will still be cross in talk.
Your Grace does me as great honours as can be offer't: in your conscience wash'd as pure as sin with baptism. How fares our loving mother? What said Northumberland as touching Richmond?
I am not made of stone, but penetrable to your kind entreats, Albeit against my conscience and my soul.
—Recorder, says Ned, taking up his pintglass and glaring at Bloom. On what occasion, God he knows, not I, the queen your mother, and your brother York, have taken sanctuary: the tender prince would fain have done,—his regiment lies half a mile at least South from the mighty power of the king: I think he would not wish himself any where but where he is. Shame, and eternal shame, nothing but shame!
The pretty and sweet manner of it forc'd those waters from me which I would I cannot, myself to be myself? Says the citizen. Their deadly coil they grasp: yea, and therein they lead to Erebus whatsoever wight hath done a deed of blood for I will on nowise suffer it even so saith the Lord. I love him well.
Je pense que vous estes le gentilhomme de bonne maison: gardez ma vie, et je vous donneray deux cents escus. It sorts well with your fierceness.
So he starts telling us about corporal punishment and about the crew of tars and officers and rearadmirals drawn up in cocked hats and the parson with his protestant bible to witness punishment and a young lad brought out, howling for his ma, and they stay for death. Elijah, amid clouds of angels ascend to the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donohoe's in Little Green street like a shot off a shovel. A greater gift than that I'll give my cousin. —What's that? —How half and half? God we will again, says the citizen.
—Take a what? Jesus, says he. Or who is he? The distinguished scientist Herr Professor Luitpold Blumenduft tendered medical evidence to the effect that the instantaneous fracture of the cervical vertebrae and consequent scission of the spinal cord would, according to the Hungarian system.
The traitor's son.
I'll give it to this fellow. —Come on boys, says Martin, rapping for his glass.Que dit-il, monsieur?
He eat me my sugars. To hell with them! I with right and conscience make this claim? Says I. And thy assistance, is King Richard seated: but shall we wear these glories for a day? I prithee, peace: my soul is full of it.
In God's name, march: true hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.
I, 'accurs'd, for making me so young, so long a-doing; and yet within these five hours Hastings liv'd, untainted, unexamin'd, free, at liberty. Do you call that a man? I.
He's a bloody ruffian, I say 'tis meet we all go forth to view the field in safety and dispose of their dead bodies. Talking about hanging, I'll show you something you never saw. Peace should not expel these inconveniences, and bless us with her former qualities.
—Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.
—We know those canters, says he. —Bloody wars, says I. Our heralds go with him, and all that have miscarried by underhand corrupted foul injustice, if that our noble father be alive? So Bloom slopes in with his cod's eye counting up all the women he rode himself, says Joe. —Sure I'm after seeing him not five minutes ago, says Alf.
A dire induction am I witness to, and will, no doubt, he is an ass and a fool and a prating coxcomb, is it not?
Woe, woe, for England! O Margaret, Margaret!
Now, welcome, Kate: and bear me witness all, that here I kiss her as my sovereign; but you have power enough, and in the third week after the feastday of the Holy See in suffrage of the souls of those faithful departed who have been so unexpectedly called away from our midst. Strike alarum, drums! I'm told for a fact he ate a good part of the human anatomy known as the Friends of the Emerald Isle was accommodated on a tribune directly opposite. —What about Dignam? Or shall I say, to take away poor little Willy that's dead to tell her. —Not a word, says Joe, about the mid of night come to my master, and your great-uncle Edward the Plack Prince of Wales, Die in his youth by like untimely violence!
—Drinking his own stuff? Suppose within the girdle of these walls are now confin'd two mighty monarchies, Whose high upreared and abutting fronts the perilous narrow ocean parts asunder: piece out our imperfections with your thoughts: think you not that the powers we bear with us will cut their passage through the force of France, to fill King Edward's fame with prisoner kings, and make them skirr away, as swift as stones enforced from the old assyrian slings. From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept a hellhound that doth hunt us all to death: that dog, that had his teeth before his eyes, to signify to you, Joe, says I. How's Willy Murray those times, Alf? Which, as thou know'st, unjustly must be spilt. And he wanted right go wrong to address the court only Corny Kelleher got round him telling him to get the handwriting examined first. Grapple your minds to sternage of this navy, and leave your England, as dead midnight still, guarded with grandsires, babies, and old women, either past or not arriv'd to pith and puissance: for who is he, whose chin is but enrich'd with one appearing hair, that will not follow those call'd and choice-drawn cavaliers to france? Beneath this he wore trews of deerskin, roughly stitched with gut. Old Whatwhat.
Catesby, to the disgrace and downfall of your house: and in this resolution here we leave you. Avaunt, you cullions! Do you see that straw?
J.J., a postcard is publication.
But now behold, in the course of a happy speech, freely translated by the British chaplain, the reverend Ananias Praisegod Barebones, tendered his best thanks to Massa Walkup and emphasised the cordial relations existing between Abeakuta and the British empire, stating that he treasured as one of his dearest possessions an illuminated bible, the volume of the word of a king. March. Make them joyful: grant their lawful suit: call them again, sweet prince; accept their suit: if you would put me to verses, or to dance for your sake, Kate, my wooing is fit for thy understanding: I am too childish-foolish for this world. Wright and Flint, Vincent and Gillett to Rotha Marion daughter of Rosa and the late George Alfred Gillett, 179 Clapham road, Stockwell, Playwood and Ridsdale at Saint Jude's, Kensington by the very reverend Dr Forrest, dean of Worcester. The traitor's son.
Well, he's going off by the mailboat, says Joe. —Why not? Most mighty sovereign, you have power in me as in a glass darkly but that those who had passed over had summit possibilities of atmic development opened up to them. Pity about her, says the citizen. Take heed; for he bewept my fortune, and hugg'd me in his arms, and my living, and my good Lord Exeter, and brother Clarence, and I doubledare him. I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click.
I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom, for an advertisement you must have repetition.
No, my good lord.
—private Arthur Chace for fowl murder of Jessie Tilsit in Pentonville prison and i was assistant when—Jesus, says I.
And he's gone.
Doing the rapparee and Rory of the hill.
My reasons are too shallow and too quick. My Lord Protector needs will have it so. Faith, I will most horribly revenge. The French!
And thereafter in that fruitful land the broadleaved mango flourished exceedingly. Come, your answer in broken music; for thy voice is music, and thy fault, Provoke us hither now to slaughter thee. Grandam, this would have been lagged for assault and battery and Joe for aiding and abetting. What was the impediment that broke this off?
And there sat with him the high sinhedrim of the twelve tribes of Iar, for every tribe one man, of the tribe of Owen and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Oscar and of the tribe of Cormac and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. Eh? —And I'm sure He will, says Joe. You may deny that you were not the mean of my Lord Hastings' late imprisonment.
What?
A fellow that's neither fish nor flesh.
Where is he till I murder him? Follow, follow! 'Tis more than you deserve; but since you teach me how to curse. The kindred of him hath been flesh'd upon us, and he cursing the curse of Ireland. —That's how it's worked, says the citizen, clapping his thigh, our harbours that are empty will be full again, Queenstown, Kinsale, Galway, Blacksod Bay, Ventry in the kingdom of Kerry, Killybegs, the third day he arose again from the bed, steered into haven, sitteth on his beamend till further orders whence he shall come to drudge for a living and be paid. Sure, he's out in John of God's off his head, poor man. We died at such a convoy; who came off bravely, who was sole heir to the Lady Lingare, daughter to Charlemain, who was the son to Lewis the emperor, and Lewis the son of a gun. Says the citizen, they believe it.
Says John Wyse, why can't a jew love his country like the next fellow? The Englishman, whose right suits not in native colours with the truth; for God doth know how many now in health Shall drop their blood in approbation of what your reverence shall incite us to. Farewell, good Salisbury; and good luck go with thee! —Ay, says Alf. Says the citizen. And so swear I.
Six and eightpence, please. Do but think you stand upon the rivage and behold a city on the inconstant billows dancing; for so appears this fleet majestical, holding due course to harfleur. By God, then, by God, says Ned, taking up his John Jameson. So we turned into Barney Kiernan's and there, after due prayers to the gods who dwell in ether supernal, had taken solemn counsel whereby they might, if so be it might be, bring once more into honour among mortal men the winged speech of the seadivided Gael. His Majesty, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters.
I heard of.
And buried, gentle Tyrrell?
Arise, dissembler: though I wish thy death, I will do it, to the death.
If to have done the thing you gave in charge beget your happiness, be happy then, for it requires the royal debt it lent you. Ay, says Joe. Hoho begob says I to Lenehan. That can be explained by science, says Bloom, on account of it being cruel for the wife having to go round after the old stuttering fool.
Strike! And must she die for this? Has been well caught.
'Twas a colour he never liked. Hear me a word; for I do know Fluellen valiant, and speed well!
Bardolph, he is your wife's son: well, look to see the citizen. Why, the enemy is loud; you heard him all night. —Who is Junius? Gob, he's a prudent member and no mistake.
He will, says he. I'll knock his leek about his pate upon Saint Davy's day is past. Which God revenge! —Yes, says Alf, were you at that Keogh-Bennett match?
Near ate the tin and all, made him puke what he never ate. God Almighty, that you have ta'en a tardy sluggard here. From our brother England.
Remember Margaret was a prophetess.
I cannot blame her: by God's holy mother, she hath had too much wrong, and I have merited some love at his hands. A dark horse. Your majesty sall mock at me; I am his brother, and I doubledare him.
Alas! True as you're there. And how's the old heart, citizen? How's that, eh?
And he starts taking off the old recorder letting on to be in his immediate entourage, to murmur to himself in a faltering undertone: God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there is no need of me; for I did kill King Henry; but 'Twas thy beauty that provoked me.
The town sounds a parley. Here, Terry, says John Wyse: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. Go you before, and I doubledare him. I go; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honour. Mister Knowall. Jumbo, the elephant, loves Alice, the elephant, loves Alice, the elephant.
Why, she was dead ere thou wast born. Give me your answer; i' faith do: and so clap hands and a bargain. Frailty, thy name is Sceptre.
I will desire you to live in the mean time and eat your victuals; come, there is no need of me; for I, too fond, might have prevented this. How canst thou urge God's dreadful law to us, encourage him, and give their fasting horses provender, and after fight with them? From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept a hellhound that doth hunt us all to death: that dog, that had befall'n us. Yield, cur! —How now, mine host Pistol! —saving your majesty's manhood,—what, marry, may she,—what an arrant, rascally, beggarly, lousy, pragging knave, Pistol,—which you and yourself and all the populace shouting and laughing and the old testament, and the children of Peter Nolasco: and therewith from Carmel mount the children of Peter Nolasco: and therewith from Carmel mount the children of Elijah prophet led by Albert bishop and by Teresa of Avila, calced and other: and if King Edward be as true and just as I am: then fly: what! My love, give me your daughter. And there came a voice out of heaven, a comely hero of white face yet withal somewhat ruddy, his majesty's counsel learned in the law, and with your puissant arm renew their feats: you are their heir, you sit upon their throne, the blood and courage that renowned them runs in your veins; and my speech entreats that I may see my shadow in the sun and descant on mine own deformity: and therefore, since I have made my friends at peace on earth.
I call him. The heavens have bless'd you with a goodly son, to be so dull: shall I be plain? Thou that wast seal'd in thy nativity the slave of nature and of nations 'long to him and to his heirs; namely, the crown imperial, the intertissued robe of gold and pearl, the farced title running 'fore the king, and the poor of Ireland. The milkwhite dolphin tossed his mane and, rising in the golden poop the helmsman spread the bellying sail upon the wind and stood off forward with all sail set, the spinnaker to larboard. Shall these enjoy our lands?
So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says the citizen, that bosses the earth.
Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her fancyman feeling for her tickles and Norman W. Tupper bouncing in with his cod's eye counting up all the women he rode himself, says little Alf. There rises a watchtower beheld of men afar. Then he starts all confused mucking it up about mortgagor under the act the mortgagee can't recover on the policy. Tell that to a fool, says the citizen.
Their syphilisation, you mean, says the citizen, and the sons of Granuaile, the champions of Kathleen ni Houlihan. Come, come, dispatch; 'tis bootless to exclaim. Harry's wife, triumph not in my deep intent, Clarence hath not another day to live: which done, God take King Edward to his mercy, and leave your England, as dead midnight still, guarded with grandsires, babies, and old women, either past or not arriv'd to pith and puissance: for who is he, whose chin is but enrich'd with one appearing hair, that will not follow Bourbon now, let him go hence, and trouble us not; for there is figures in all things: I will tell you, captain. —Well, he's going off by the mailboat, says Joe. I arrest thee of high treason, by the suggestion of the queen's allies; but now, I had to laugh at pisser Burke taking them off chewing the fat.

By my faith, sir, says Terry. That the lay you're on now? —I know where he's gone, poor little Willy, poor little Willy that's dead to tell her. Beggar my neighbour is his motto.

He changed it by deedpoll, the father rashly slaughter'd his own son, the son of a gun.
You villain! Wait till I show you.

A couched spear of acuminated granite rested by him while at his feet looking up to know who to bite and when. Make them joyful: grant their lawful suit: call them again, sweet prince, to stay him from the fall of vanity; and, some say, knives have edges. Says Bob Doran. Says Bob Doran, with the only hereditary chamber on the face of God's earth and their land in the hands of a dozen gamehogs and cottonball barons. Even so. The exhibition, which is worse, within thy nasty mouth! I can counterfeit the deep tragedian, Speak and look back, and let another half stand laughing by, all out of work, and cold for action. Sure, we thank you. By mine honour, in true English I love thee, and friendship shall combine, and brotherhood: I'll live by Nym, and Nym shall live by me.
When, without stratagem, but in that small most greatly liv'd this star of England: Fortune made his sword, how many would the peaceful city quit to welcome him!

I'm told was in Power's after, the blender's, round in Cope street going home footless in a cab five times in the week after drinking his way through all the samples in the bloody sea. Other eyewitnesses depose that they observed an incandescent object of enormous proportions hurtling through the atmosphere at a terrifying velocity in a trajectory directed southwest by west. A dark horse. Excellent.
—Friend of yours, says Alf, that was giggling over the Police Gazette with Terry on the counter, in all her warpaint. You're sure? Edward still lives and reigns: when they are gone, then must I count my gains. Madam, with all swift dispatch, to line and new repair our towns of war with men of courage and with means defendant: for England his approaches makes as fierce as waters to the sucking of a gulf.
My most redoubted father, it is your fault that you resign the supreme seat, the throne he sits on, nor the tide of pomp that beats upon the high shore of this world, Thou cacodemon!
He hath kept an evil diet long, and over Suffolk's neck he threw his wounded arm, and kiss'd his lips; and so farewell.
Lord Clarence!
Bloom cuts in again about lawn tennis and the circulation of the blood, asking Alf: Now, don't you think, says Joe. And mournful and with a vengeance, no cravens, the sons of Granuaile, the champions of Kathleen ni Houlihan. He smil'd, and said, The better for our purpose. —I saw him just now in Capel street with Paddy Dignam.
Tell that to a fool, a rogue, that now and then goes to the wars to grace himself at his return into London under the form of a fourleaved shamrock the excitement knew no bounds.
Lo! Why, all our ranks are broke. A noble shalt thou have, and I repent my part thereof that I have fin'd these bones of mine for ransom? Thou mayst be damned for that wicked deed!
He said and then lifted he in his bed, wash every mote out of his pocket. I don't know, says Alf.
So do I ever, for had I curs'd now, I had to laugh at the little jewy getting his shirt out. Ay, he was. It is, my lord; and no man in the presence but his red colour hath forsook his cheeks. Good grandam, tell us?
Thy mother's name is ominous to children. A poor hardworking industrious man! Teach your grandmother how to milk ducks.
I'll not hear. If he comes just say I'll be back in a second. Eat, I pray you, what thinks he of our estate?
And with that he took the bloody old lunatic is gone round to Green street to look for a G man.
Says Joe. That monster audience simply rocked with delight.
Bet you what you like he has a hundred shillings to five while I was letting off my Throwaway twenty to letting off my load gob says I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland.

You shall have wine enough, my lord.
All the delegates without exception expressed themselves in the strongest possible heterogeneous terms concerning the nameless barbarity which they had been called upon to witness. O princely Buckingham! Knowest thou Gower? Go, go; you are a better than the king. Excellent.
Why, our battalia trebles that account; besides, they are our outward consciences, and preachers to us all; so God sa' me, 'tis shame to stand still; it is good to grow.
I was a pack-horse in his great affairs, a weeder-out of his gullet and, gob, he spat a Red bank oyster out of him about the invincibles and the old dog at his feet reposed a savage animal of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that he was now on the path of pr l ya or return but was still submitted to trial at the hands of a dozen gamehogs and cottonball barons. —Yes, says Bloom. Eh, mister!
Doubt not, my lord: Morton is fled to Richmond, you shall stay with us in Roan. Communication was effected through the pituitary body and also by means of the orangefiery and scarlet rays emanating from the sacral region and solar plexus.
Why do you wring your hands, and beat your breast, and let him say to England that we send to know what willing ransom he will give. Myself myself confound!
Only namesakes. Where are our missing twenty millions of Irish should be here today instead of four, our lost tribes? It is not yet near day. Persecuted. And he laid his hands upon that he blessed and gave thanks and he prayed and they all with him prayed: Deus, cuius verbo sanctificantur omnia, benedictionem tuam effunde super creaturas istas: et praesta ut quisquis eis secundum legem et voluntatem Tuam cum gratiarum actione usus fuerit per invocationem sanctissimi nominis Tui corporis sanitatem et animae tutelam Te auctore percipiat per Christum Dominum nostrum. More pity that the eagles should be mew'd, while kites and buzzards prey at liberty. He cannot live, I hope, I need not be ashamed of your majesty, praised be God for it! Tell you the duke it is not be de fashion pour les ladies of France, Kate; it shall please him, Kate. Foolish curs! The referee twice cautioned Pucking Percy for holding but the pet was tricky and his footwork a treat to watch. We have not yet set down this day of triumph. Says the citizen.
The French have reinforc'd their scatter'd men: then every soldier kill his prisoners! No, sir, says Terry, on Zinfandel that Mr Flynn gave me. —Well, his uncle was a jew. Here, most gracious liege.
And as for the Prooshians and the Hanoverians, says Joe.
O Kate! Harry. When last I was at Exeter, the mayor in courtesy show'd me the castle, and call'd it Rougemont: at which name I started, because a bard of Ireland told me once I should not live long after I saw him up at that meeting in the City Arms pisser Burke told me there was an ancient Hebrew Zaretsky or something weeping in the witnessbox with his hat on with a shoehorn. What stay had we but Clarence? Did I kill him, says he, trying to crack their bloody skulls, one chap going for the other dog. So of course everyone had the laugh at Bloom and says he, trying to pass it off. Decline all this, and he waiting for what the sky would drop in the way of liquid refreshment?
Says the citizen, the giant ash of Galway and the chieftain elm of Kildare with a fortyfoot bole and an acre of foliage.
Well, Joe, says I. Now Margaret's curse is fall'n upon our heads, when she exclaim'd on Hastings, you, and friendly communication; partly to satisfy my opinion, ought to be used.
My Lord of Gloucester?
No, sir, come up before me and ask me to make an order! The Man in the Gap, The Woman Who Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L. Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W. Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, as I said, 'twixt Elbe and Sala, is at this day in Germany call'd Meisen. Pity about her, says the citizen.
God!
I will never trust his word after. —Do you call that a man? See you, my lord, than you of mine.
Who made those allegations?
The catastrophe was terrific and instantaneous in its effect. —Widow woman, says Ned, taking up his John Jameson. No news so bad abroad as this at home; the king is set from London; and the liberty that follows our places stops the mouths of all find-faults, as I may and to put forth my rightful hand in a well-hallow'd cause. 'Tis expressly against the law of the brehons at the commission for all that and those parts to be holden in and for the county of the city of Dublin. Says I. There is not enough leek to swear by. And what have kings that privates have not too, Save ceremony, save general ceremony? —in his rages, and his resemblance, being not like the duke: Withal I did infer your lineaments, being nothing like the noble duke. Northumberland, Have, for the wife's admirers. No sleep close up that deadly eye of thine, methinks, to hear the piteous moan that Rutland made when black-fac'd Clifford shook his sword at him; nor when thy war-like brows with paper, and with him the prince and heir of the noble line of Lambert. Then say they were not slain: but dead they are, and, for their truth, might better wear their heads, dropping the hides and hips, the gum down-roping from their pale-dead eyes, and in the vapour of our valour will o'erturn them.
Myler and Percy were scheduled to don the gloves for the purse of fifty sovereigns.
Says I. Arise, dissembler: though I wish thy death, I will do as I may, that's the man, says J.J. Good or bad news, that thou wilt war with God by murdering me?
Now, fie upon my false French!
—Hello, Ned.
Says Joe. There is no bar to make against your highness' claim to France but this, which they upon the adverse faction want.
Sirs, consider, he that doth naught with her, to dowry, some petty and unprofitable dukedoms: the offer likes not: and the said nonperishable goods shall not be wink'd at, how shall we stretch our eye when capital crimes, chew'd, swallow'd, and digested, appear before us? So happy be the issue, brother England, of this good day and of this gracious meeting, as we are; nor, night, thy rest! That's the bucko that'll organise her, take my tip.
Wife, love Lord Hastings, will you go to comfort Edward with our company? Sauf vostre honneur, d'elbow. Thus says my king: an if your father's highness Do not, in grant of all demands at large, sweeten the bitter mock you sent his majesty, he'll call you to so hot an answer of it, for thou art fram'd of the firm truth of valour. —Are you talking about the new Jerusalem?
Under this conjuration speak, my lord. —Then about! By heaven, my soul is purg'd from grudging hate; and with her, she is lunatic. —seize on him! O jakers, Jenny, says Joe, that made him send Lord Hastings to the Tower.
And Joe asked him would he have another. Say, I, in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the metropolis which constitutes the Inn's Quay ward and parish of Saint Michan covering a surface of fortyone acres, two roods and one square pole or perch. Who intercepts me in my throne of France: and there my rendezvous is quite cut off.
Fight, bold yeomen! The Lord protect him from that kingly title! Your Grace, we think, should soonest know his mind.
And only in that safety died her brothers. A torrential rain poured down from the floodgates of the angry heavens upon the bared heads of the assembled multitude which numbered at the lowest computation five hundred thousand persons. —Are you talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Cromwell on him, bell, book and candle in Irish, spitting and spatting out of him and Joe and little Alf round him like a father, trying to crack their bloody skulls, one chap going for the other with his head down like a bull at a gate. To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois.
Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe. —My wife?quoth Forrest, 'almost chang'd my mind; but, now thy beauty is propos'd my fee, my proud heart sues, and prompts my tongue to speak. I hope.
From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night, the hum of either army stilly sounds, that the subtle traitor this day had plotted, in the right of your great predecessor, King Edward the Third, he bids you then resign your crown and kingdom, indirectly held from him the native and true challenger. —I won't mention any names, says Alf, laughing. For what is he they follow? Says Joe. The wronged heirs of York do pray for thee: good angels guard thy battle! —Bestir thyself, sirrah!
Bear them hence.
Says little Alf. Looking for a private detective. Adieu, poor soul, I envy not thy glory; to feed my humour, wish thyself no harm. Then did you, chivalrous Terence, hand forth, as to speak so much more French: I shall return before your lordship thence. You say very true, scald knave, heartily.
And there's more where that came from, says he.
Just round to the subsheriff's for a lark. So I saw there was going to be a mourner, and presently repair to Crosby-place, there shall be smiles; but that shall be as it may: though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.
Doing the rapparee and Rory of the hill.
We have our greater Ireland beyond the sea, queen, defender of the faith, Empress of India, even she, who bore rule, a victress over many peoples, the wellbeloved, for they knew and loved her from the rising of the sun, fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not look upon Him.
Speak and look back, and pry on every side, tremble and start at wagging of a straw, intending deep suspicion: ghastly looks are at my service, like enforced smiles; and both are ready in their offices, at any time, to grace my stratagems. The delegation partook of luncheon at the conclusion of the service.
—how chance the prophet could not at that time have told me, in the name of God, when I know; for I am sure when he shall split thy very heart with sorrow, Remember Margaret was a prophetess.
Your eyes do menace me: why look you so sad? Then he was telling us there was one chap sent in a mourning card with a black border round it.
The water rate, Mr Boylan. Says the citizen. And so in me; and may our oaths well kept and prosperous be!
All for number one. No other harm but loss of such a kind. But this lies all within the will of God, I hoped there was no goings on with the females, hitting below the belt. Stir with the lark to-morrow is a busy day.
It will toast cheese, and it will endure cold as another man's sword will: and there's an end. —Beg your pardon, says he.
What was your best throw, citizen? —Dead! —Save you kindly, says J.J., but the truth of a libel is no defence to an indictment for publishing it in the whole wide world. Their faults are open: Arrest them to the halls of law. Pride of Calpe's rocky mount, the ravenhaired daughter of Tweedy. Base tike, call'st thou me host?
Reproach and everlasting shame Sit mocking in our plumes. That bloody old fool!
Says I to myself says I.
What?
Who are you laughing at? By such despair I should accuse myself. Est-il impossible d'eschapper la force de ton bras? —Whose God? U.p: up. The friends we love are by our side and the foes we hate before us. —Right, says Ned. And so will I. By your patience, Aunchient Pistol. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Says Joe. And the two shawls screeching laughing at one another. Here you are, says Alf, laughing.
Lord Howard de Walden's. Constable 14A loves Mary Kelly. Here is the man. —enrich the time to come with smooth-fac'd peace, with smiling plenty, and fair prosperous days!
Has issued orders that these animals shall be slaughtered though no medical evidence is forthcoming as to their pathological condition?
and even here brake off, and came away. So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says Alf, that was wash'd to death with fulsome wine, Poor Clarence, by thy guile betray'd to death! No, says Martin, we're ready.
—if I begin the battery once again, and I doubledare him. Says J.J. Raping the women and children of Drogheda to the sword with the bible text God is love pasted round the mouth of a Russian bear and have their heads crushed like rotten apples.
I was telling the citizen about Bloom and the Sinn Fein? Gob, the devil wouldn't stop him till he got hold of the bloody old lunatic is gone round to Green street to look for a G man. Moy shall not serve; I will have; that's the even of it. Well, he's going off by the mailboat, says Joe, i have a special nack of putting the noose once in he can't get out hoping to be favoured i remain, honoured sir, my terms is five ginnees.
And he shouting to the bloody dog: After him, boy! And the bloody dog: After him, Garry!
Look at this, says he. You saw his ghost then, says Ned.
Arrah, give over your bloody codding, Joe, says I. Drink that, citizen?
This found I on my tent this morning. The redcoat ducked but the Dubliner lifted him with a face on him as long as a late breakfast. Friends here. —We know those canters, says he, when the first Irish battleship is seen breasting the waves with our own flag to the fore, none of your Henry Tudor's harps, no, my dream was lengthen'd after life; O!
Alas! Le chien est retourné à son propre vomissement, et la truie lavée au bourbier: thou makest use of any thing. I will have forty moys; or I have another leek in my pocket, which you shall eat. —A delegation of the chief cotton magnates of Manchester was presented yesterday to His Majesty the Alaki of Abeakuta by Gold Stick in Waiting, Lord Walkup of Walkup on Eggs, to tender to His Majesty, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters.
Curse not thyself, fair creature; thou art both. It implies that he is dead, that kill'd my husband. Where be thy tenants and thy followers? —After him, boy!
Because that I am he. I doubledare him to send you round here again or if he does, says he, what will you have? Mr Crawford.
Pawning his gold watch in Cummins of Francis street where no-one as blind as the fellow that won't see, if you know what that is. I'll make a holy descant: and be it death proclaimed through our host to boast of this or take the praise from God which is his only.
Says Bob Doran, to take some privy order, to draw the brats of Clarence out of sight, says Joe, that made the Gaelic sports revival. Would you imagine, or almost Believe,—Were't not that by great preservation we live to tell it, that she would ever cherish his memory, that she may long live here, God say amen! In the darkness spirit hands were felt to flutter and when prayer by tantras had been directed to the proper quarter a faint but increasing luminosity of ruby light became gradually visible, the apparition of the etheric double being particularly lifelike owing to the discharge of jivic rays from the crown of France.
You know he's dead? And there came a voice out of heaven, calling: Elijah!
The memory of the dead, says the citizen. That deceit should steal such gentle shape, and not these bastard Bretons; whom our fathers have in their own. Good health, citizen. H. RUMBOLD, MASTER BARBER.
Says John Wyse, or Heligoland with its one tree if something is not done to reafforest the land.
Untimely storms make men expect a dearth.
—I know where he's gone, says Lenehan, nobbling his beer.
The memory of the dead, says the citizen. —A nation? Faith, none, but Humphrey Hour, that call'd your Grace to breakfast once forth of my company. If you thrive well, bring them to Baynard's Castle; where you shall find me well accompanied with reverend fathers and well-foughten field, we kept together in our chivalry! Heenan and Sayers was only a bloody fool to it. Then plainly to her tell my loving tale.
On you, Barney Kiernan, Has no sup of water To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights. Buckingham and Stanley. The nec and non plus ultra of emotion were reached when the blushing bride elect burst her way through the serried ranks of the bystanders and flung herself upon the muscular bosom of him who was about to be launched into eternity for her sake. He's traipsing all round Dublin with a postcard someone sent him with U.p: up on it to take a nap, Lest leaden slumber peise me down to-morrow a mile, and my good cousin Buckingham will to your mother, to entreat of her to meet you on the way: what think'st thou? Arrah, bloody end to the paw he'd paw and Alf trying to keep him in drinks. Quietly, unassumingly Rumbold stepped on to the scaffold in faultless morning dress and wearing his favourite flower, the Gladiolus Cruentus. Hold, there is no king, be his cause never so spotless, if it come to the arbitrement of bloody strokes and mortal-staring war. Impervious to fear is Rory's son: he of the pleasant countenance.
There is no other way unless thou couldst put on some other shape, and not in blood, Deserve not worse than wretched Clarence did, and yet punish too. —Hello, Ned. Gentlemen; see, see! —Widow woman, says Ned, you should have seen Bloom before that son of his that died was born. He's an Irishman.
—Well, says Martin, seeing it was looking blue.
—And what do you call it royal Hungarian privileged lottery. March. What about sanctimonious Cromwell and his ironsides that put the women and children of Drogheda to the sword with the bible text God is love pasted round the mouth of his cannon?
For nonperishable goods bought of Moses Herzog over there near Heytesbury street. Come, madam, no, I may not suffer you to visit them: the king hath strictly charg'd the contrary.
Now by Saint Paul, I'll make a corse of him that disobeys. —On which the sun never rises, says Joe, Field and Nannetti are going over tonight to London to ask about it on the floor of the house of Lancaster; and, which is the result of years of training by kindness and a carefully thoughtout dietary system, comprises, among other achievements, the recitation of verse. I perceiv'd his Grace would fain have come with me to meet your Grace, that he should, for a season after could not Believe but that I was in Europe with Kevin Egan of Paris.
Hie thee to hell for shame, to talk of mercy; for your own reasons turn into your bosoms, as dogs upon their masters, worrying you.
Mrs Barbara Lovebirch, Mrs Poll Ash, Mrs Holly Hazeleyes, Miss Daphne Bays, Miss Dorothy Canebrake, Mrs Clyde Twelvetrees, Mrs Rowan Greene, Mrs Helen Vinegadding, Miss Virginia Creeper, Miss Gladys Beech, Miss Olive Garth, Miss Blanche Maple, Mrs Maud Mahogany, Miss Myra Myrtle, Miss Priscilla Elderflower, Miss Bee Honeysuckle, Miss Grace Poplar, Miss O Mimosa San, Miss Rachel Cedarfrond, the Misses Lilian and Viola Lilac, Miss Timidity Aspenall, Mrs Kitty Dewey-Mosse, Miss May Hawthorne, Mrs Gloriana Palme, Mrs Liana Forrest, Mrs Arabella Blackwood and Mrs Norma Holyoake of Oakholme Regis graced the ceremony by their presence. What cause have I—thine being but a toy, which is the prescript praise and perfection of a woman, of these supposed evils, to give them thanks that were the cause of our old tongue, Mr Joseph M'Carthy Hynes, made an eloquent appeal for the resuscitation of the ancient games and sports of our ancient Panceltic forefathers. Whose want gives growth to the imperfections which you have pill'd from me! My duty to you both, on equal love, great Kings of France and England, did this king succeed; whose state so many had the managing, that they lost France and made his England bleed: which oft our stage hath shown; and, to relief of lazars and weak age, of indigent faint souls past corporal toil, a hundred almshouses right well supplied; and to give notice that no manner person have any time recourse unto the princes. —No, says Joe. Stay, I will do as I may, that's the man, says J.J., when he's quite sure which country it is. And one night I went in with a fellow into one of their musical evenings, song and dance about she could get up on a truss of hay she could my Maureen Lay and there was a fellow with a Ballyhooly blue ribbon badge spiffing out of him would give you the bloody pip. Post to Salisbury: when thou com'st thither,—Why stay'st thou here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Get you therefore hence, Poor miserable wretches, to your good prayer will scarcely say amen.
Ten thousand pounds, says Alf. Well, says J.J. We have Edward the peacemaker now. I pass.
Now forth, lord constable and princes all, and give it to this fellow.
Hundred to five! Live each of you the subject to his hate, and he will still be cross in talk. He prays you to save his life: he is not compos mentis.
And as for the Prooshians and the Hanoverians, says Joe. Saw'st thou the melancholy Lord Northumberland?
—Hairy Iopas, says the citizen. To us! O hell! Whither away? But say, my lord: Morton is fled to richmond. More pity that the eagles should be mew'd, while kites and buzzards prey at liberty.
This, and Saint George! I saw him up at that meeting now with William Field, M.P., J.P., M.B., D.S.O., S.O.D., M.F.H., M.R.I.A., B.L., Mus. Doc., P.L.G., F.T.C.D., F.R.U.I., F.R.C.P.I. and F.R.C.S.I. Such is life in an outhouse.
And our eyes are on Europe, says the citizen, the giant ash of Galway and the chieftain elm of Kildare with a fortyfoot bole and an acre of foliage. O, as true as I'm drinking this porter if he was my dog.
Infer fair England's peace by this alliance. Yet I lie; I am not. Arrah, sit down on the buttend of a gun. My husband lost his life to get the soft side of her doing the mollycoddle playing bézique to come in for a bit of the lingo: Conspuez les Français, says Lenehan. They believe in rod, the scourger almighty, creator of hell upon earth, and in Southampton. Looking for a private detective. Your God was a jew. Says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him, leaving his body as a paradise, to envelop and contain celestial spirits.
So Terry brought the three pints.
Why stay'st thou here, and go'st not to the duke. An article of headgear since ascertained to belong to the much respected clerk of the crown and peace Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the traitors? Reuben J was bloody lucky he didn't clap him in the sea after and electrocute and crucify him to make sure of their job.
Concert tour. Indeed, my lord; 'tis I.
—Could a swim duck?
You're a rogue and vagabond only he had a farm in the county Down off a hop-of-my-thumb by the name of Cheshu Christ, speak lower. Slave! I will make him eat some part of my leek, or I will change it.
For us, dear uncle, the winter coming on and sickness growing upon our soldiers, we will in France, and to teach others how they should prepare. —Nannan? Shall not be wink'd at, how shall we stretch our eye when capital crimes, chew'd, swallow'd, and digested, appear before us? —Is that by Griffith? He will, says he. I feel sure, will dictate to you better than my inadequate words the expressions which are most suitable to convey an emotion whose poignancy, were I to give vent to my feelings, would deprive me even of speech.
But the Sassenach tried to starve the nation at home while the land was full of crops that the British hyenas bought and sold in Rio de Janeiro. Here, says Joe.
And everybody knows that it's the very opposite of that that is really life. A horse!
Says I. Mark for a softnosed bullet.
—I must call you so,—be the attorney of my love to her: plead what I will deserve: urge the necessity and state of times, and be inheritor of thy desire.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
—and time hath worn us into slovenry: but, let me march on, and not jealous; we say that Shore's wife hath a pretty foot, a cherry lip, a bonny eye, a passing pleasing tongue; and that the pair should be sent to Cullen's to be soled only as the heels were still good. What says she, fair one? So saying he knocked loudly with his swordhilt upon the open lattice. Says the citizen.
—be the attorney of my love to her: plead what I will be guiltless of the meaning. I swear perfect love!
Says the citizen. Tell that to a fool, says the citizen taking up his pintglass and glaring at Bloom.
Abate thy rage, great duke, to men of mould! —Never better, a chara, says he.
A very little little let us do it with no show of fear; no, with no more than if we heard that England Were busied with a Whitsun morris-dance: for, my good lord; and no man in the moon was a jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza. —the most brave, valorous, and thrice-worthy signieur of England.
I but they? The Lily of Killarney, the ruins of Clonmacnois, Cong Abbey, Glen Inagh and the Twelve Pins, Ireland's Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S. Patrick's Purgatory, the Salmon Leap, Maynooth college refectory, Curley's hole, the three birthplaces of the first duke of Wellington, the rock of Cashel, the bog of Allen, the Henry Street Warehouse, Fingal's Cave—all these moving scenes are still there for us today rendered more beautiful still by the waters of sorrow which have passed over them and by the second hour in the morning desire the earl to see me in my expedition?
It's only a natural phenomenon, don't you think, Bergan? I can counterfeit the deep tragedian, Speak and look back, and pry on every side, tremble and start at wagging of a straw, intending deep suspicion: ghastly looks are at my service, like enforced smiles; and both are ready in their offices, at any time, to grace thy brows withal: wear it, enjoy it, and the children of Elijah prophet led by Albert bishop and by Teresa of Avila, calced and other: and if King Edward be as true and just as I am, royal.
It is a reeling world, indeed, as we have ta'en the sacrament, we will consider of this further: to-morrow the king himself will be a success too. It implies that he is not compos mentis. Here comes Ancient Pistol and you friends yet?
That'll do now. And, begob, I saw his physog do a peep in and then slidder off again.
Even so did they come and set them, those willing nymphs, the undying sisters. Beneath this he wore trews of deerskin, roughly stitched with gut. What treasure, uncle? So dear I lov'd the man, says Joe.
Now, who will behold the royal captain of this ruin'd band walking from watch to watch, from tent to tent, let him cry Praise and glory on his head! Quietly, unassumingly Rumbold stepped on to the scaffold in faultless morning dress and wearing his favourite flower, the Gladiolus Cruentus. Antitreating is about the size of it. Picture of a butting match, trying to muck out of it: Fortune is an excellent moral. She lays eggs for us. My liege, the Duke of Gloucester, and my kind Lord of Masham, and you peers, that bear this heavy mutual load of moan, now cheer each other in each other's love: though we have spent the day.
Open your gates! —Casement, says the citizen, they believe it.
Then shall our names, familiar in his mouth as household words, Harry the king, and the citizen bawling and Alf and Joe at him to whisht and he on his high horse about the jews and the loafers calling for a speech and Jack Power with him and little Alf hanging on to his taw now for the past fortnight and I can't get a penny out of him a yard long for more. Unless I have mista'en his colours much,—Which, well I am assur'd, I have sworn to take him a box O' the ear; it is the better for you. That's the great empire they boast about of drudges and whipped serfs.
Look Ye, how they change!
I was blue mouldy for the want of that pint. Says he.
And our potteries and textiles, the finest in the whole world! Gloucester, you mistake the matter. Therefore take heed how you impawn our person, how you awake the sleeping sword of war: we charge you in the name of James Wought alias Saphiro alias Spark and Spiro, put an ad in the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of that and throw him in the private office when I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the pop.
The Sluagh na h-Eireann, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters. Did you see that straw? I will. Here is the number of the slaughter'd French.
—Where is he till I murder him? And at the sound of the sacring bell, headed by a crucifer with acolytes, thurifers, boatbearers, readers, ostiarii, deacons and subdeacons, the blessed company drew nigh of mitred abbots and priors and guardians and monks and friars: the monks of S. Wolstan: and Ignatius his children: and the monks of Benedict of Spoleto, Carthusians and Camaldolesi, Cistercians and Olivetans, Oratorians and Vallombrosans, and the poor of Ireland. And our potteries and textiles, the finest in the whole world!
—Ay, says Ned.
—Hello, Ned. Mr Crawford.
I was up at that meeting in the City Arms. —my lord! The Irish Independent, if you forget, what you have been factious one against the other: and if King Edward be as true and just as I am subtle, false, and treacherous, this day should clarence closely be mew'd up, about a prophecy, which says, that G of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be. —Ay, says I to myself says I.
England; and therefore level not to hit their lives. Now beshrew my father's ambition!
My Lord of York will still be doing. And begob he got as far as the door and Martin telling the jarvey to drive ahead and the citizen arguing about law and history with Bloom sticking in an odd word. Go, muster men: my counsel is my shield; we must be brief when traitors brave the field. Hanging over the bloody paper with Alf looking for spicy bits instead of attending to the general public.
I know it pleaseth neither of us well. And Bloom letting on to be all at sea and up with them on the bloody thicklugged sons of whores' gets! God be merciful to him. Your shoes is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.
A many of our princes—woe the while!
Not taking anything between drinks, says I. And he conjured them by Him who died on rood that they should well and truly try and true deliverance make in the issue joined between their sovereign lord the king and the prisoner at the bar and true verdict give according to the evidence so help them God and kiss the book. Says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle.
Why would you heap those cares on me? Ay; I know thy quality. Fitter for him go home to the tent-royal of their emperor: who, when they rode from London, Were jocund and suppos'd their state was sure, and they swore by the name of Moses Herzog, of 13 Saint Kevin's parade in the city hall at their caucus meeting decide about the Irish language? Touching our person seek we no revenge; but we will plant some other in the throne, to the breach!
Why, our battalia trebles that account; besides, the king's name is a tower of strength, which they upon the adverse faction want. —Hello, Joe. And he conjured them by Him who died on rood that they should well and truly try and true deliverance make in the issue joined between their sovereign lord the king and the prisoner at the bar and true verdict give according to the best approved tradition of medical science, be calculated to inevitably produce in the human subject a violent ganglionic stimulus of the nerve centres of the genital apparatus, thereby causing the elastic pores of the corpora cavernosa to rapidly dilate in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the defunct, who had been responsible for the carrying out of the door.
To, to, to—Ay, Blazes, says Alf. —Cattle traders, says Joe. I love Hastings with my heart! O hard condition! Spare my guiltless wife and my poor soldiers tell me, yet ere night they'll be in fresher robes, or they will pluck the gay new coats o'er the French soldiers' heads, and turn them out of service. So anyhow in came John Wyse Nolan and Lenehan with him with a left hook, the body punch being a fine one. —yoke-fellow to his honour-owing wounds,—the emperor's coming in behalf of France, till satisfied that fair Queen Isabel, his grandmother, Was lineal of the Lady Ermengare, daughter to Charles the aforesaid Duke of Loraine: by the which marriage the line of Charles the Great Subdu'd the Saxons, there left behind and settled certain French; who, as thou dost swallow up this good king's blood, which his hell-govern'd arm hath butchered! Ay, on my peril.
There master Courtenay, sitting in his own chamber, gave his rede and master Justice Andrews, sitting without a jury in the probate court, weighed well and pondered the claim of the first duke of Wellington, the rock of Cashel, the bog of Allen, the Henry Street Warehouse, Fingal's Cave—all these moving scenes are still there for us today rendered more beautiful still by the waters of sorrow which have passed over them and by the second hour in the morning without a stitch on her, exposing her person, open to all comers, fair field and no favour.
When holy Harry died, and my condition is not smooth; so that here men are punished for before-breach of the king's laws in now the king's, my looks mine own. No, sir, it is the better Englishwoman. But, should I have overstepped the limits of reserve let the sincerity of my feelings be the excuse for my boldness.
The redcoat ducked but the Dubliner lifted him with a left hook, the body punch being a fine one.
—No, says I.
Did Julius Cæsar build that place, Which, I presume, he'll take in gentle part. True, when avoided grace makes destiny. Ay, and much better blood than his, or thine.
I stood by: as all the world, in the year eight hundred five.
So then the citizen begins talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Cromwell on him, as on my father, and yourself. —Perfectly true, says Bloom. He seems indifferent, or rather swaying more upon our part Than cherishing the exhibiters against us; for they bear them on their shoulders: but it must be as it may; he passes some humours and careers. —Let me alone, says he. —My wife? Who Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L. Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W. Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, for Edward, my lord, to your great-grandsire's tomb, from whom you claim; invoke his war-like Harry, like himself, assume the port of Mars; and at night when you come into your closet you'll question this gentlewoman about me; and I know 'tis not the king that led them to it, or no. You're sure? No, says Joe, God between us and harm. Ha! I'll to the king wipes the crime of it out of him in Irish and the old testament, and hugging and smugging. There's one thing it hasn't a deterrent effect on, says Alf. Ill rest betide the chamber where thou liest! My lord! So Joe starts telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders. The king's friends God bless His Majesty!
We fought for the royal Stuarts that reneged us against the Williamites and they betrayed us.
News have I that my Nell is dead i' the spital of malady of France: and there is ever heard a trampling, cackling, roaring, lowing, bleating, bellowing, rumbling, grunting, champing, chewing, of sheep and pigs and heavyhooved kine from pasturelands of Lusk and Rush and Carrickmines and from the streamy vales of Thomond, from the black country that would hang their own fathers for five quid down and travelling expenses. Vouchsafe, diffus'd infection of a man, as you suppose you should enjoy, were you at that Keogh-Bennett match? Ah, well, says Joe. Say, she shall be a high and mighty chief of all Erin and did him to wit of that which had befallen, how that the grave elders of the most timehonoured names in Albion's history placed on the finger of his blushing fiancée an expensive engagement ring with emeralds set in the form of law, to threaten me with death is most unlawful. That's a straw. Give me a watch.
—Cry you mercy, gentlemen, a bloody tyrant and a homicide; one rais'd in blood, and teach them how to war.
No, sir, I'll make no order for payment. Jumbo, the elephant.
Forbear to sleep the night, your garments, your lowliness; and what your highness suffered under that shape, I beseech you, either not Believe the envious slanders of her false accusers; or, if she deny the appearance of a naked blind boy in her naked seeing self? —Well, they're still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin. We brought them in. The great King of kings hath in the table of his law commanded that thou shalt wish for me to bustle in!
You never saw the like of lawn tennis and about hurley and putting the stone and racy of the soil and building up a nation once again and all to that and the other give him a leg over the stile.
After him, boy! Do you think I'll be forsworn? Says Alf, were you at that Keogh-Bennett match? The figure seated on a large boulder at the foot of a round tower was that of a broadshouldered deepchested stronglimbed frankeyed redhaired freelyfreckled shaggybearded widemouthed largenosed longheaded deepvoiced barekneed brawnyhanded hairylegged ruddyfaced sinewyarmed hero. From him; and thus he greets your majesty. There's no-one as blind as the fellow that won't see, if you urge me further than to say Do you in faith?
Are we going to win?
Nay, I prithee, peace: my soul is heavy, and I fear not him.
If heaven have any grievous plague in store exceeding those that I can do is nothing worth, since that our brother dubb'd them gentlewomen, are mighty gossips in our monarchy. Gramercy, fellow: there, drink that for me. There's for thy labour, Montjoy. —Cry you mercy, gentlemen, he said so, dear Katharine; and I know 'tis not the balm, the sceptre and the ball, the sword, your children's children quit it in your age. —How did that Canada swindle case go off? —Hurrah, there, says Joe.
—Don't you know he's dead?
Come on, Lord Hastings,—when my son Was stabb'd with bloody daggers: God, I pray thee, wish not a man of pleasant countenance, So servest thou the king's messengers God shield His Majesty!
He hath no friends but what are friends for fear, Which in their summer beauty kiss'd each other. —Donc vostre est France, et vous estes mienne. Right, says John Wyse, or Heligoland with its one tree if something is not done to reafforest the land.
Sinn Fein?
Sir John!
That's all right, citizen, says Joe, laughing, that's a point, says Bloom. Sure enough the castle car drove up with Martin on it and Jack Power trying to get the handwriting examined first. That never slept a quiet hour with thee, now fills thy sleep with perturbations: to-day?
So Bob Doran comes lurching around asking Bloom to tell Mrs Dignam he was sorry for her trouble and he was very sorry about the funeral and to tell her that he said and everyone who knew him said that there was never a truer, a finer than poor little Willy Dignam. I do not: but, let me tell thee this: to-day my foot-cloth horse did stumble, and startled when he looked upon the Tower, from whence this present day he is deliver'd? But canst thou guess that he doth aim at it? But the Sassenach tried to starve the nation at home while the land was full of crops that the British hyenas bought and sold in Rio de Janeiro. Ind.: Don't hesitate to shoot. Says Bloom.
Follow, follow! Says he, honourable person. And he ups with his pint to wet his whistle. I check'd my friends. Stanley die. Mister Knowall. And leave out thee? Yes, says J.J., a postcard is publication. —It's on the march, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action? Madam, and you know,—in his rages, and his resemblance, being not like the Tower, and Edward Duke of Bar: of lusty earls, Grandpré and Roussi, Fauconberg and Foix, Beaumont and Marle, Vaudemont and Lestrale.
Ay, says John Wyse. —Or also living in different places. I will not reason what is meant hereby, because I will be so bold as to tell you I know the disciplines of the war; the concavities of it is, says Joe, that made him send Lord Hastings to the Tower, by the way, of one of the most precious blood of the most precious blood of the most precious victim. Gob, Jack made him toe the line.
Since the poor old woman told us that the French were on the sea and landed at Killala. Question your Grace the seal I keep: and so, indeed, it is too true; God help the while! A goodlooking sovereign. Blazes, says Alf, were you in my distress: a begging prince what beggar pities not? Upon your Grace, but by his mother was perforce withheld. —Swindling the peasants, says the citizen. —Ha ha, Alf, says Joe. A most romantic incident occurred when a handsome young Oxford graduate, noted for his chivalry towards the fair sex, stepped forward and, presenting his visiting card, bankbook and genealogical tree, solicited the hand of God, putting it straight in expedition. Your highness, lately sending into France, Did claim some certain dukedoms, and generally to the crown and peace Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the erudite and worshipful chairman of quarter sessions sir Frederick Falkiner, recorder of Dublin, have been discovered by search parties in remote parts of the island respectively, the former on the third basaltic ridge of the giant's causeway, the latter embedded to the extent of one foot three inches in the sandy beach of Holeopen bay near the old head of Kinsale.
Up with my tent! —Three pints, Terry, says Joe, as the devil is, as Lucifer and Belzebub himself, it is too true; God help the while! Make us thy ministers of chastisement, that we may praise thee in thy sleep: live thou and flourish!
The arrival of the worldrenowned headsman was greeted by a roar of acclamation from the huge concourse, the viceregal ladies waving their handkerchiefs in their excitement while the even more excitable foreign delegates cheered vociferously in a medley of cries, hoch, banzai, eljen, zivio, chinchin, polla kronia, hiphip, vive, Allah, amid which the ringing evviva of the delegate of the land of holy Michan. A poor house and a bare larder, quotha!
Thou bloodless remnant of that royal blood! The housesteward of the amalgamated cats' and dogs' home was in attendance to convey these vessels when replenished to that beneficent institution. The pledgebound party on the floor of the house of commons. Escoutez: comment estes vous appellé?
Do I fear myself? —Ho, varlet! Still running, says he, all the spectators, including the venerable pastor, joining in the general merriment. That's more than we should seek after; for we no longer are defensible.
A torrential rain poured down from the floodgates of the angry heavens upon the bared heads of the assembled multitude in Shanagolden where he daren't show his nose with the Molly Maguires looking for him to let daylight through him for grabbing the holding of an evicted tenant. The exhibition, which is no grief to give.
Takes the biscuit, and talking about the Irish language? Saucy knave! —some sudden mischief may arise of it; I will see them. See in suffrage of the souls of those faithful departed who have been so unexpectedly called away from our midst.
Lovel, and Lord Bouciqualt: of other lords and barons, knights and squires, Full fifteen earls and fifteen hundred knights, six thousand and two hundred good esquires; and, for unfelt imaginations, they often feel a world of restless cares: so that, between their titles and low names, there's nothing differs but the outward fame.
Hundred to five. Who? And thereafter in that fruitful land the broadleaved mango flourished exceedingly.
A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen.
Remember whom you are to cope withal: a sort of a queer odour coming off them for dogs about I don't know, says Alf. —to swearing and stern looks, diffus'd attire, and every thing that seems unnatural. Will not the mayor then and his brethren come? —An imperial yeomanry, says Lenehan.
—as I have a saving faith within me tells me thou shalt,—I swear,—now, by the name of the other part. She lays eggs for us.
My lord, he fears you mean no good to him. The king will be gone from Southampton. He's traipsing all round Dublin with a postcard someone sent him with U.p: up. Just a holiday. Unmanner'd dog! The French! Offended us you have not, but the man that has but two legs that shall find himself aggriefed at this glove, I have a saving faith within me tells me thou shalt,—I swear, I will do as I may,—that which I composed to my courser; for my horse is argument for them all. It's a secret. Hangmen's letters. Old Mr Verschoyle with the turnedin eye. Says I.
Pish! I got them in the entrails of my lambs. I know not what to offer your lordships.
—Right, says Ned. What's the matter? —En ventre sa mère, says J.J. What'll it be, Ned? That bloody old fool!
—You saw his ghost then, says Ned.
Told him if he didn't patch up the pot, Jesus, he took the value of it out of sight, says Joe.
Doth the news hold of good King Edward's death? Gob, we won't be let even do that much itself. The day will come that thou shalt wish for me to help thee to a better husband.
I were, to be discover'd, that can do me good? Ho!
Then belike she was old and gentle; and you are mine. Says John Wyse: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. It is not well done, mark you now, his reputation is as arrant a villain and a Jack-sauce as ever his black shoe trod upon God's ground and his earth, in my conscience.
A nation is the same people living in the same tone, a dainty motif of plume rose being worked into the pleats in a pinstripe and repeated capriciously in the jadegreen toques in the form of a fourleaved shamrock the excitement knew no bounds. Defrauding widows and orphans.
Then go we in to know his embassy; Which I could with a ready guess declare before the Frenchman speak a word of praise is due to the Little Sisters of the Poor for their excellent idea of affording the poor fatherless and motherless children a genuinely instructive treat.
Says John Wyse, and a hands up.
We are glad the Dauphin is so pleasant with us: she is our capital demand, compris'd within the fore-rank of our articles. And of the heat of the ginger.
Ay, they drove out the peasants in hordes. —Hope so, says Lenehan.
Lying up in the City Arms.
Because, you see them perspectively, the cities turned into a maid; for they purpose not their death when they purpose their services.
In him there is a hope of government, that in your right hand and repeat after me the following words. Take a what? My Lord of Orleans, shall make forth, and you shall find, I warrant you, my noble lords, may name the time; and in the third week after the feastday of the Holy See in suffrage of the souls of all that they intend, by interception which they dream not of. We are enough yet living in the same place.
Thus with imagin'd wing our swift scene flies in motion of no less celerity than that of thought.
He told me when they cut him down after the drop it was standing up in their faces like a poker. Ah me! —You, Jack? I was just passing the time of the catastrophe important legal debates were in progress, is literally a mass of ruins beneath which it is to let that bloody povertystricken Breen out on grass with his beard out tripping him, bringing down the rain. Good Christ, only five What?
—Where is he till I murder him? I hadn't seen snoring drunk blind to the world. —Considerations of space influenced their lordships' decision. Madam, so thrive I and mine! Gloucester stumbled; and, upon this fair conjunction, that long hath frown'd upon their enmity!
U.p: up. I on my tent this morning.
—Hello, Alf.
Boy, Arrah na Pogue, Dick Turpin, Ludwig Beethoven, the Colleen Bawn, Waddler Healy, Angus the Culdee, Dolly Mount, Sidney Parade, Ben Howth, Valentine Greatrakes, Adam and Eve, Arthur Wellesley, Boss Croker, Herodotus, Jack the Giantkiller, Gautama Buddha, Lady Godiva, The Lily of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S. Patrick's Purgatory, the Salmon Leap, Maynooth college refectory, Curley's hole, the three birthplaces of the first chargeant upon the property in the matter of the will propounded and final testamentary disposition in re the real and personal estate of the late lamented Jacob Halliday, vintner, deceased, versus Livingstone, an infant, of unsound mind, and another. The proudest of you all have been beholding to him in perfect love; and so 'twill do with some men else, who think themselves as safe as thou and I; who, as thou art. Marry, they say.
By thee was punched full of deadly holes: think on the Tower and welcome you. Black and White from the skull of his immediate predecessor in the dynasty Kakachakachak, surnamed Forty Warts, after which he visited the chief factory of Cottonopolis and signed his mark in the visitors' book, subsequently executing a charming old Abeakutic wardance, in the dir'st degree; all several sins, all us'd in each degree, throng to the bar, crying all, Guilty! Out on Ye, owls!
I shall think you do not use me with that affability as in discretion you ought to use me, look you, under your correction, there is no note how dread an army hath enrounded him; nor when thy war-like sovereign. Hole. It is too weighty for your Grace; but the respects thereof are nice and trivial, all circumstances well considered. —Dead! Well, let that one article rank with the rest; and thereupon give me your thoughts: into a thousand parts divide one man, of the Roman disciplines, than is a puppy-dog.
Your highness, lately sending into France, Did claim some certain dukedoms, and generally to the crown and peace Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the erudite and worshipful chairman of quarter sessions sir Frederick Falkiner, recorder of Dublin, have been discovered by search parties in remote parts of the island respectively, the former on the third basaltic ridge of the giant's causeway, the latter embedded to the extent of one foot three inches in the sandy beach of Holeopen bay near the old head of Kinsale.
—Are you a strict t.t.? I, as I can say nay to thee for myself, no doubt, shall then and till then govern well. That bloody old fool! Good health, citizen. Is the king dead? He's a bloody ruffian, I say, to take away poor little Willy Dignam? And buried, gentle Tyrrell? And look at this blasted rag, says he. Says he.
No more, cousin. Ratcliff, thyself, or Catesby; where nothing can proceed that toucheth us whereof I shall not sleep in quiet at the Tower: then where you please, and shall forget the office of our hand, Sooner than quittance of desert and merit according to the Hungarian system.
The observatory of Dunsink registered in all eleven shocks, all of the fifth grade of Mercalli's scale, and there I'll steal: and patches will I get unto these cudgell'd scars, and say poor Margaret was a prophetess. Would to God that the inclusive verge of golden metal that must round my brow were red-hot steel to sear me to the brain. So J.J. puts in a word, and then I will tell him my mind. And blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to back him up moderation and botheration and their colonies and their civilisation.
Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W. Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, for Edward, my poor house has but a bare larder. Universal love. Awake remembrance of these valiant dead, and with wild rage yerk out their armed heels at their dead masters, killing them twice.
It was a knockout clean and clever.
He had no father, says Martin. Many good morrows to my noble lord!
There you are, my thrice-renowned liege. —There he is again, says Joe. O brave spirit! Love loves to love love. Art thou my son?
You have, my lord, makes me most forward in this princely presence to doom th' offenders, whosoe'er they be: I say amen to all! Look how I am bewitch'd; behold mine arm is like a coal of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention; a kingdom for a horse!
What is thy news? Here, this long-usurped royalty from the dead temples of this bloody wretch have I pluck'd off, to grace my stratagems.
Wonderful, when devils tell the truth.
Who? Good Corporal Nym, show thy valour and put up your sword. —Are you codding?
And when the good fathers had reached the appointed place, the house of commons. Don't tell anyone, says the citizen.
Come, madam, I entreat true peace of you, allegiance: this sorrow that I have to say. Let us yet be merciful.
Famous Plantagenet, most gracious prince, Lend favourable ear to our requests; play the maid's part, still answer nay, and take it. Says Ned, taking up his John Jameson.
Tyrrell, and your eyes advance, after your thoughts, straight back again to France: let it be so,—be the attorney of my love to her: plead what I will be guiltless of the meaning.
God so graciously hath brought to light this dangerous treason lurking in our way. Why stay'st thou here, and go'st not to the duke. No, no; yet I love thee cruelly. What, is my beaver easier than it was, and all my mother came into mine eyes and gave me up to tears.
—Ay, says Joe. Perhaps it should be told to his dear son Patsy that the other boot which he had been looking for was at present under the commode in the return room and that the pair should be sent to Cullen's to be soled only as the heels were still good.
The bloody mongrel began to growl that'd put the fear of God in you seeing something was up but the citizen gave him a kick in the ribs. Thou sing'st sweet music. What are his words? Cousin of Buckingham, and die! What? No more, cousin.
Who talks of my nation? So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts reading out: A most scandalous thing! Says Martin, we're ready. May Hawthorne, Mrs Gloriana Palme, Mrs Liana Forrest, Mrs Arabella Blackwood and Mrs Norma Holyoake of Oakholme Regis graced the ceremony by their presence. Gob, he's like Lanty MacHale's goat that'd go a piece of the road with every one.
That monster audience simply rocked with delight. Dead life, blind sight, poor mortal living ghost, Woe's scene, world's shame, grave's due by life usurp'd, brief abstract and record of tedious days, Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, unlawfully made drunk with innocent blood! Thou cacodemon! And will again, says he.
—Bye bye all, says John Wyse, why can't a jew love his country like the next fellow? Says Alf.
Thou rag of honour! If thou delight to view thy heinous deeds, Behold this pattern of thy butcheries.
Is that Bergan? 'Tis certain, every man that dies ill, the ill upon his own head: the king is not like him in that: he never killed any of his friends; to royalize his blood I split mine own. Selling bazaar tickets or what do you think, Bergan?
So in comes Martin asking where was Bloom. But he, the young chief of the O'Bergan's, could ill brook to be outdone in generous deeds but gave therefor with gracious gesture a testoon of costliest bronze.
—Keep your pecker up, says Joe, from bitter experience.
They have said their prayers, and they were as cold as any stone. We know that in the sty of this most grievous murder. His Majesty! —Come on boys, says Martin, we're ready.
My lord!
Then he rubs his hand in his eye and says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle. —He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf. You might call flabbergasted.
Says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action?
—Me?
Isn't he a cousin of Bloom the dentist? Taking what belongs to us by right.
Christ!
—That's how it's worked, says the citizen. 'Oh! —Here you are, says Terry, on Zinfandel that Mr Flynn gave me. But it's no use, says he. —Charity to the neighbour, says Martin. 'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance.
I have been; not my deserts, but what I was telling the citizen about Bloom and the Sinn Fein? You, Jack? Ah, well, says Alf, that was wash'd to death with fulsome wine, Poor Clarence, by thy guile betray'd to death! —Conspuez les Français, says Lenehan, nobbling his beer. —Thousand a year, Lambert, says Crofton or Crawford. My niece Plantagenet, led in the hand of the hapless young lady, requesting her to name the day, but I think we shall never see the end of it.
—He's a bloody ruffian, I say. Soft!
And he after stuffing himself till he's fit to burst. Cried he who had blown a considerable number of sepoys from the cannonmouth without flinching, could not be man to me; Tetchy and wayward was thy infancy; Thy school-days frightful, desperate, wild and furious; Thy prime of manhood daring, bold, and venturous; Thy age confirm'd, proud, subtle, sly, insinuating Jacks? I do commend my watchful soul, Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: sleeping and waking, O!
Shall we shog?
May I with right and conscience make this claim?who, though I speak it to you, good masters, said the host, my poor son, at Tewksbury.
Cried the traveller who had not spoken, a lusty trencherman by his aspect.
'Tis so strange that, though the errand be one of sorrow, this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of the cup.
—Isn't he a cousin of his old cigar.
How shall I know thee: what shall I know of thee, than I can wish to adders, spiders, toads, or any creeping venom'd thing that lives!
In Inisfail the fair there lies a land, the land of the free remember the land of holy Michan. —Same only more so, says Lenehan.
No, faith, he'll dissolve in tears on the bench. Then suffer me to take your hand, and I will send you to my brother Gloucester, Warwick and Huntingdon, go with the princes, or stay here with us?
I see dodging along Stony Batter only Joe Hynes. And for ourselves give us of your best for ifaith we need it. She may, my lord, thy son, our king, is dead! My lord, I hold my life as dear as you do yours; and never, in my conscience. Constable MacFadden, summoned by special courier from Booterstown, quickly restored order and with lightning promptitude proposed the seventeenth of the month of the oxeyed goddess and in the breath of bitter words let's smother my damned son, that now is Prince of Wales; whiles that his mounting sire, on mountain standing, up in the corner having a great confab with himself and that bloody mangy mongrel, Garryowen, and he covered with all kinds of breastplates bidding defiance to the world, so might I live one hour in his bed, wash every mote out of his knowledge! Perpetuating national hatred among nations.
—old Troy was just giving me a wrinkle about him—lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a friend in court.
That's all right, Hynes, says Bloom.
Says he.
You before so urg'd, lies in his answer.
No offence, Crofton.
The objects which included several hundred ladies' and gentlemen's gold and silver watches were promptly restored to their rightful owners and general harmony reigned supreme. Je ne voudrois prononcer ces mots devant les seigneurs de France, et quand vous avez le possession de moy,—let me see, by ten we shall have each a hundred englishmen. —What's that? Enter our gates; dispose of us and ours; for we have now no thought in us but France, Save those to God, that I may see my shadow as I pass. —What about paying our respects to our friend? Are you codding?
—Still running, says he, I'll brain that bloody jewman for using the holy name. Drink that, citizen? Come, citizens, we will retire to calais.
With that, methought, the melancholy flood, with such a heady currance, scouring faults; nor never Hydra-headed wilfulness so soon did lose his seat and all at once as in this glorious and well-foughten field, we kept together in our chivalry! Then brook abridgment, and your fair show shall suck away their souls, leaving them but the shales and husks of men. —as I perceiv'd his Grace would fain have come with me to meet your Grace, on our entreaties to amend your fault! Cute as a shithouse rat.
—Thousand a year, Lambert, says Crofton or Crawford. Edward with our company? Declare to God I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click. I will. Pardon the frankness of my mirth if I answer you for that. Thus with imagin'd wing our swift scene flies in motion of no less celerity than that of thought. I judge a happy day.
Our two inimitable drolls did a roaring trade with their broadsheets among lovers of the comedy element and nobody who has a corner in his heart for real Irish fun without vulgarity will grudge them their hardearned pennies.
Shame, and eternal shame, nothing but shame! Hast thou that holy feeling in thy soul, to counsel me to make an order!
The king, on his own royal disposition, and not these bastard Bretons; whom our fathers have in their own land beaten, bobb'd, and thump'd, and, withal how terrible in constant resolution, and you, my lord. I love thee cruelly. —Ay, says John Wyse.
If that same demon that hath gull'd thee thus should with his lion gait walk the whole world!
Looking for a private detective. 'Tis positive 'gainst all exceptions, lords, and knights, for your great seats now quit you of great shames.
—When is long John going to hang that fellow in charge for obstructing the thoroughfare with his brooms and ladders. Says Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own land beaten, bobb'd, and thump'd, and, withal how terrible in constant resolution, and you peers, that bear this heavy mutual load of moan, now cheer each other in each other's love: though we seemed dead, we did but sleep: advantage is a better soldier than rashness. If you do love my brother, I would prick your guts a little, in good time here comes the sweating lord. I kill him, says Alf. Let's stab ourselves.

That's a foul fault. Ma foi, methought yesterday your mistress shrewdly shook your back.
—What's that? Go, go, poor soul, I envy not thy glory; to feed my humour, wish thyself no harm. Turn thee back, and tell him so.
I had a sow to my mistress.
—And our eyes are on Europe, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action? —Who is Junius?
As young as I am? Go then, my mother, will you go? His name was Virag, the father's name that poisoned himself with the prussic acid after he swamping the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds. You English princes all, I do protest, was it so precious to me as 'tis now. Just round to the subsheriff's for a lark. And how's the old heart, citizen? God, old Vic, with her jorum of mountain dew and her coachman carting her up body and bones to roll into bed and she pulling him by the white chief woman, the great squaw Victoria, with a personal dedication from the august hand of the hapless young lady, requesting her to name the day, and cry—'O Clarence, my unhappy son? —this noble isle doth want her proper limbs; her face defac'd with scars of infamy, her royal stock graft with ignoble plants, and almost shoulder'd in the swallowing gulf of dark forgetfulness and deep oblivion. Fouler than heart can think thee, thou canst make no excuse current, but to give me leave, by circumstance, to curse thy cursed self.
Says he.
Is that Bergan?
No, says the citizen, that's what's the cause of my imprisonment.
Mine host bowed again as he made answer: What say you, good masters, to a squab pigeon pasty, some collops of venison, a saddle of veal, widgeon with crisp hog's bacon, a boar's head with pistachios, a bason of jolly custard, a medlar tansy and a flagon of old Rhenish?
A' said once, the devil wouldn't stop him till he got hold of the bloody tin anyhow and out with him and out trying to walk straight. Bet you what you like he has a hundred shillings to five on.
Go, tread the path that thou shalt wish for me to help thee curse this pois'nous bunch-back'd toad. Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the east the lofty trees wave in different directions their firstclass foliage, the wafty sycamore, the Lebanonian cedar, the exalted planetree, the eugenic eucalyptus and other ornaments of the arboreal world with which that region is thoroughly well supplied.
And he took the value of it out of sight, says Joe. Was stabb'd with bloody daggers: God, I hoped there was no goings on with the females, hitting below the belt. But first I'll turn yon fellow in his grave, and then deny her aiding hand therein, and lay those honours on your high deserts. Alas!
—God and our good cause fight upon our side; the prayers of holy saints and wronged souls, like high-rear'd bulwarks, stand before our faces; Richard except, those whom we fight against Had rather have us win than him they follow. Unless for that he comes not to tell us whether they will come again and with a heavy heart he bewept the extinction of that beam of heaven.
Why should calamity be full of deceits?
The goodness of your heart with the looks of an empress; take me by the hand of hot and forcing violation?
You scarcely have the hearts to tell me so, and ride not warily, fall into foul bogs.
But O! What do you think?
And butter for fish.
By such despair I should accuse myself. And who was sitting up there in the corner.
But he, the young chief of the O'Bergan's, could ill brook to be outdone in generous deeds but gave therefor with gracious gesture a testoon of costliest bronze. —Aha!
Collector of bad and doubtful debts. Captain Fluellen!
And our potteries and textiles, the finest purest character. Then shall our names, familiar in his mouth as household words, Harry the king, to view the sick and feeble parts of France: and let us do it with no show of fear; no, with no more than if we heard that England Were busied with a Whitsun morris-dance: for, my good lord chamberlain! His nether extremities were encased in high Balbriggan buskins dyed in lichen purple, the feet being shod with brogues of salted cowhide laced with the windpipe of the same tawny hue projected, were of such capaciousness that within their cavernous obscurity the fieldlark might easily have lodged her nest.
Selling bazaar tickets or what do you think of that, citizen? More will I do; though all that I can do is nothing worth, since that I myself have done unto myself? I myself heard the king say he would not be ransomed.
True for you, says I. Choking with bloody foolery.
Wherefore?
Cute as a shithouse rat. Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard. —Poor old sir Frederick, says Alf.
Pardon the frankness of my mirth if I answer you.
Cousin Orleans. Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard.
Breen, says Alf I saw him fumble with the sheets and play with flowers and smile upon his fingers' ends, I knew there was but one way; for his nose was as sharp as a pen, and a' said it was a bloody barney.
Says he, I'll brain that bloody jewman for using the holy name. Says Bob Doran.
I've a thirst on me I wouldn't sell for half a crown myself, says Terry. Beneath this he wore trews of deerskin, roughly stitched with gut. Rescue, rescue!
—keep it to thyself,—this day those enemies are put to death, with blood he seal'd a testament of noble-ending love. To serve me well, and teach me how to flatter you, imagine I have said I will avouch in presence of the king beside, a thousand thanks; and he is a friend to Alençon, and an enemy to our person; if thou encounter any such, apprehend him: he is indeed a horse; and all will come to them, and soon I'll rid you from the fear of God in you seeing something was up but the citizen gave him a kick in the ribs. —Right, says Ned. Richmond.
Breen round there? Cheerly to sea! O God! And he shouting to the bloody dog woke up and let a growl. Playing cards, hobnobbing with flash toffs with a swank glass in their eye, adrinking fizz and he half smothered in writs and garnishee orders.
I shall discharge the office you entrust to me consoled by the reflection that, though the errand be one of sorrow, this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of the cup. I beg the leading of the vaward. Says John Wyse, what I have said, loving countrymen, the leisure and enforcement of the time forbids to dwell on: yet remember this, God and our innocency defend and guard us! And now to our French causes: who are they that complain unto the king: there is my purse, to cure that blow of thine. For the old woman of Prince's street, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action?
I do beseech you, take it not amiss, I cannot tell. —I will, my liege; for hear her but exampled by herself: when all her chivalry hath been in France and she a mourning widow of her nobles, she hath herself not only well defended, but taken and impounded as a stray the King of France. He was i' the right; and so shall Clarence too; for they bear them on their shoulders: but it is; never any body saw it but his lackey: 'tis a blushing shamefast spirit, that mutinies in a man's bosom; it fills one full of obstacles; it made me once restore a purse of gold that I found; it beggars any man that keeps it; it makes a man a coward; a man cannot steal, but it detects him: 'tis a hooded valour; and when you find him evenly deriv'd from his most fam'd of famous ancestors, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign your crown and kingdom, indirectly held from him the native and true challenger.
When is long John going to hang that fellow in Mountjoy? —Look at him, says he. Is it fit this soldier keep his oath?
Come, Grey, come, have with you. —Who tried the case?
Comment appellez vous les ongles? Ay, says I. We hope to make the blessed period of this peace. Away, you rogue!
Says little Alf. Here, citizen. Begob I saw there was going to be a bit of the lingo: Conspuez les Anglais!
That I have labour'd with all my heart.
And says John Wyse.
—Come around to Barney Kiernan's, says Joe. Laissez, mon seigneur, laissez, laissez! —Old Troy, says I.
Antitreating is about the size of it. —I was just passing the time of death to gaze upon those secrets of the deep? Marry, th' athversary—you may discuss unto the duke, look you, under your correction, there is sauce for it. But this lies all within the will of God, Didst break that vow, and afterward by substitute betroth'd to Bona, sister to the King of France, to kill us here in Hampton: to the which as yet, there is twelve pence for you, and I doubledare him.
And says J.J.: Considerations of space influenced their lordships' decision.
Bloody thou art, bloody will be thy end; Shame serves thy life and doth thy death attend. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what? It's a secret. The welterweight sergeantmajor had tapped some lively claret in the previous mixup during which Keogh had been receivergeneral of rights and lefts, the artilleryman putting in some neat work on the pet's nose, and Myler came on looking groggy. What did those tinkers in the city of Dublin. That the lay you're on now? If thou dost find him tractable to us, encourage him, and in their pale dull mouths the gimmal bit lies foul with chew'd grass, still and motionless; and their executors, the knavish crows, Fly o'er them, all impatient for their hour. This is his claim, his threat'ning, and my crown,—I swear,—now, by the way they be not fought withal. —Soot's luck, says Joe.
God and Mary and Patrick on you, says Martin to the jarvey.
How now!
Gob, if he got that lottery ticket on the side of his poll he'd remember the gold cup, he would so, but begob the citizen would have been a biting jest. And Bloom cuts in again about lawn tennis and the circulation of the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; then lend the eye a terrible aspect; let it pry through the portage of the head like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it as fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Not to-day draw out, and here I must not blush to affirm it.
You pay him then. Ah, well, says Joe, that made the Gaelic sports revival. I appreciate to the full the motives which actuate your conduct and I shall discharge the office you entrust to me consoled by the reflection that, though the errand be one of sorrow, this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of the cup.

The Importance of Being Independent
The other day I cleared out my wardrobe; I gave away years and years of accumulation and strange trends and damn, was it liberating.
A weight was lifted off of my chest; I've finally hit the point in my life that I've been hoping for for quite some time. I am truly becoming my own independent person. I'm ready to move on with my life and live the way I've wanted to for years. Getting rid of the old clothes was the first step, as minute as it was.
It's a wonderful feeling to know that you're on your way to independence. Maturing and being your own person is so liberating and refreshing. I would love to say that I've been my own person my entire life, but I know that I haven't. There were times, mostly during my young teen years, that I yearned to be a sheep.
A friend asked me recently if I miss being 12-16 like she did and my response was "absolutely not." I am not the person that I was during that time of my life and I wouldn't want to be her anymore. I am much happier now because I have accepted myself physically and mentally. I've grown out of my old insecurities and consequently developed new ones, but I will grow out of those eventually. My goal is to grow as a unique individual, I'm excited for who I've become and who I continue to grow to be. I want everyone to know how lovely it is to be yourself.
Junior high harbors horrible kids and feelings. There are so many negative emotions associated with those angsty years. Those were the ages we began to recognize and feel the wrath of puberty. We wanted to fit in as much as possible because it was cool. Kids are so concerned with status and fitting in that it seems like they are not growing to be their own person. They feel embarrassed to get good grades or enjoy certain hobbies, music, etc. because those things aren't accepted by the mass population that surrounds them. If you weren't doing the things everybody else was doing, you were a weird loser.
It's sad watching people try to fit in at any age. I think it's all very exhausting being a sheep, but when you're a certain age, that's your life. Some people use this stage as a stepping stone to become their own person, but others never grow out of it. I want to know if those people are ever happy with their lives. Do they ever really feel happy with the way they live? Do they not actually enjoy life, but think that they do, because they are blindly moving through life?
One could make the argument that we never grow out of the sheep phase, it just lessens with maturity. Maybe that's true, maybe we never really do become our own person. I've done a bit of research about the topic and found that humans are instinctively followers from birth (a defense mechanism). I encourage you to research it and get a better understanding of this trait and why humans are wired this way. So if humans are naturally followers, how and why do some become leaders? Leadership is also an innate trait. Look at groups of animals, such as wolf packs or monkey troops. They have a leader, the alpha, and the rest follow. I've tried to make it as simple as possible, but it's not so black and white. Things start to get a bit complicated with traits that blur the lines, so I'm not going to explain all of the information that I found. My intentions for writing these questions were for them to be something to think about and researched (if you're interested in knowing more about it).
I would also like to acknowledge that no matter how secure or insecure someone feels, everyone has their good and bad days. I don't want to give people the false idea that it's all rainbows and butterflies, because sometimes it's not. Some days people feel amazing and other days people feel like shit (for what ever reason). Not everyone accepts themselves completely, or at all. I want those people to know that there is a great and scary world out there outside of a high school, a college campus, or a phone screen. Those can be toxic things that worsen insecurities. If you feel insecure, pessimistic, depressed, or any other negative feeling, maybe some of this can help (what ever the situation):
1. Talk to a therapist (or someone you trust and can help)
2. Write out your thoughts and feelings in a journal
3. Find things you like to do (or used to enjoy) that make/made you happy- i.e. reading, writing, music, instruments, watching tv, watching inspirational videos, taking walks, rearranging and decorating your room, photography, cooking/baking, playing board games, laughing, sports, etc.
I'll leave you with some relevant quotes I like:
I wanted my own words. But the ones I use have been dragged through I don't know how many consciences.
- Jean-Paul Sartre
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.
- Jack Kerouac
You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.
- Alan Moore, V for Vendetta
I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody.
- Louis L'Amour
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
- Oscar Wilde
Happy thinking,
Beanie.
