Ingresa a la oficina con una mano en el rosario que rodea su cuello. No repara en ello, por supuesto, hasta que es antiguo profesor quién se lo reconoce y halaga. ‘ Oh. ’ dice Albertina, como nunca carente de palabras, mirándose el cuello. Le toma unos segundos soltarlo. Está nerviosa, y sin embargo una sonrisa se asoma en sus labios de igual manera. Hace lo que puede por no demostrar de inmediato que sabe el motivo por el cual será sermoneada. Y Savar es bueno para camuflarlo también, para hacerla sentir como si no estuviera hundiéndose en las consecuencias de sus propios actos, en el mar de equivocaciones que la han llevado a estar ahí. Después del apretón de manos, ella cede al abrazo. No se da cuenta de lo mucho que lo necesita hasta que repara en que no es capaz de soltarlo por poco más de un minuto reloj, que tiene los ojos cerrados con fuerza, y que podría romper en llanto en caso de abrirlos. Pero eso también se lo deja pasar. La suelta y la toma de los hombros hasta que sus ánimos parecen calmarse, mas lo cierto es que nunca lo hacen. Toma asiento y el trémulo en su pierna da inicio. 

Albertina, le dice cuando nota aquello también. Estás bien. Ella asiente varias veces, deposita su mano sobre su regazo y, por un momento, el temblor cesa. Pero este no tarda en volver a aparecer. Él le ofrece un vaso de agua que ella acepta. Después se sienta sobre el escritorio y le extiende su propia mano al encuentro con la de ella. Entonces Albertina no tarda demasiado en volver a confiar, a caer en la trampa de «estamos del mismo lado». La mención de Vera Quinn despierta escalofríos en su piel. Se enoja, y se enoja mucho. Se siente dolida, colérica, traicionada. De inmediato, tiene que escudarse como puede. ‘ Sí ’ concuerda, ‘ lo es— lo era. Ella… dijo tantas cosas, nos prometió tantas cosas. ’ No dice cuáles, no todavía. Quiere creer que clemencia que se le brinda es suficiente para entender de qué está hablando. En primer lugar, el anonimato. Esa confidencia que dijo que había entre sus fuentes y el escrito, esa maldita confidencia. Que ella se compró, claro, cada palabra de Vera Quinn había sido como ver la luz al final del túnel. Porque Albertina podía transitar sus años después de la universidad pretendiendo que no había pasado nada. Qué demonios, pudo pasar sus propios años en la universidad pretendiendo que este había sido el caso, siempre pendiente de los chismes más irrelevantes pero alejada de los verdaderos problemas, de la verdadera podredumbre: de Alfred Buchanan, de Amelia Melbourne, de Otis Melbourne, por más que él la considerara su amiga. Pero a fin de cuentas, no importa cuánto se alejara de Pomona — ésta era una herida que no había cerrado, que no había podido sanar. No cuando sus primeros años habían sido un verdadero infierno. 

Pero entra en confianza, o lo intenta. Se deja llevar por sus palabras, por su seguridad, por la amistad con la que la invita a proseguir. Por su aparente misericordia, las disculpas tácitas ya aceptadas. Sé que no fue fácil para ti, continúa, separándose paulatinamente de ella. Dejar tu país y venir acá tiene que haberte costado. Para ser franco, me sorprende que estés aquí ahora mismo. Albertina frunce el entrecejo. ‘ No creí que tuviéramos opción. Además, ’ pero se calla justo a tiempo. Él la invita a que siga. Además… dice. ‘ Además, no es como si no hubiese hecho amigos en el camino. Es decir, sí, ’ relata, ‘ en un principio fue difícil. El tema del idioma, y la beca— pero tampoco estuve sola en el proceso. ’ Piensa en Izzie, en Sage, en Jes. Piensa en Fae y en Ellen, y la invade una sensación de culpa que no había experimentado ni en sus años de catolicismo. La mirada cae al suelo. ‘ No estaba sola. ’ refuerza. ‘ Tenía amigos. Otis— Otis era mi amigo. ’ ¿Es eso lo que quería escuchar? ¿Que no tenía motivos para mandarlo todo a la mierda, para arruinar los vínculos que sí había conservado? ¿Para meter la pata? No, se dice a sí misma. No podría. Él no es así, no es como los otros. 

Entonces, sigue él, ¿le dijiste a Vera cosas buenas sobre la universidad? Albertina traga saliva, lo observa un tanto anonadada. Déjame reformular, dice. ¿Qué le dijiste a Vera exactamente, Albertina? ¿Fueron cosas buenas? ¿Tus amigos, tus memorias, tu enseñanza? ‘ Sí, claro. ’ responde ella. ‘ Yo… crecí mucho aquí. Conseguí todo lo que quería gracias a este lugar. No podría… ’ traicionar: la palabra se queda en la punta de la lengua. ¿Y qué era eso? inquiere. ‘ ¿Cómo? ’ ¿Qué era lo que querías, Albertina? responde, o más bien vuelve a preguntar. ‘ Bueno, ser exitosa, claro. Quería… lo que todos quieren, ¿no? Tener un futuro, estabilidad económica. Proveer para mi familia, ayudarlos. ’ Él asiente varias veces. Se pone de pie y camina hasta quedar del otro lado del escritorio. Toma asiento en la silla, la mira. No deja de sonreír. Eso es muy noble, le reconoce. Ella también se esfuerza en sonreír, pero la sonrisa es más débil. No se espera la siguiente carta, es un golpe al estómago. Entonces, ¿fue todo positivo? Albertina vuelve al silencio. 

Pero esta vez él no insiste con una segunda pregunta, deja que se tome su tiempo antes de responder. Insta únicamente con la mirada, y eventualmente consigue su objetivo. ‘ Bueno, no necesariamente. ’ reconoce. Aunque ahora habla un buen inglés, las palabras comienzan a perderse en el desasosiego. Él frunce el entrecejo. ‘ Quiero decir, ’ continúa Albertina, ‘ no podía mencionar lo bueno sin obviar lo malo, ¿no? —Pero… eran cosas que ella ya sabía, Savar. ’ Él recarga su espalda en la silla. ¿A qué cosas te refieres? La mueca cambia de a pocos, ya no es del todo amigable, pero Albertina no repara en ello. Sigue creyendo que la trata como a su par, como a una amiga. ‘ Bueno, a todo lo referido al círculo ’ hace saber. ‘ Las prácticas, las iniciaciones… todo eso. Pero ella lo sabía. Ella era parte de todo eso, Savar. No le dije— no le dije nada nuevo, nada que no supiera. ’ Primera gran mentira. Rompe con el pacto que él le ofrece, y sabe que él se da cuenta. Pero no le dice nada, no de momento. 

Había cosas muy dañinas en su libro, Albertina, dice en un volumen menor, casi como si fuera un secreto para ellos dos. Cosas que sólo podía haberlas sabido siendo una de ustedes, una estudiante. Cosas que tú le dijiste, ¿no es así? Se siente instantáneamente increpada, culpable. Porque lo es, en buena parte. Pero no es la única. En esa sala de espera había un grupo de otras cuatro personas, no era… — no podía ser, ¿no? No podía ser la única que había hablado. No podían habérselo permitido. Da sorbo al vaso de agua y al poco tiempo éste queda vacío. ¿Tu entrevista fue muy larga? Ella asiente. ‘ Pero no hablé solo del círculo. ’ se excusa. ‘ O sea, le conté otras cosas. Me preguntó otras cosas. Por un noviazgo que tuve en la universidad — que no tenía mucho sentido, ¿no? No veo que haya sido relevante. Es decir, no usó nada de eso. ’ Theseus Grigsby, reconoce de inmediato. Ella abre la boca, después la cierra. Sí lo usó, la corrige. ‘ No, no lo hizo, no tenía— ’ Para hablar de Alfred Buchanan, Albertina, aclara. Por eso te preguntó por él, porque sabía que él estaba detrás de las acciones de Theseus. Ella permanece en silencio. Puede ver cómo pierde la paciencia de a pocos, mas ella no desiste. Tiene que probar su inocencia de algún modo, el que sea. 

¿Qué le dijiste sobre la noche de la muerte de Alfred Buchanan? ‘ Nada. ’ contesta tan pronto como la pregunta brota de sus labios. ‘ Nada, porque no sabía nada. Yo no estuve ahí, Savar. Ella— ella sabía eso. Tuve una pelea con Theseus, y me fui a mi dormitorio. ’ Lo medita por unos segundos, por ahora elige creerle. ¿Y sobre la noche de la muerte de Otis? ¿Qué le dijiste sobre eso? Ella le esquiva la mirada. No sabe bien cómo responder. Albertina, la llama, si quieres que te ayude, tienes que ayudarme. ‘ No mucho, no… —la pelea, y un poco más. Pero era información— ’ Que ella sabía, él repite. Albertina asiente, y Savar suspira. Pasan un rato en silencio, sin mirarse las caras. Ella quiere creer que él de verdad quiere ayudarla, que quiere aclarar su situación. Le sirve otro vaso de agua, y una vez más, ella acepta. Hay algo que no me estás diciendo, pero no es una pregunta, sino m��s bien una afirmación. En su rostro se dibuja el temor, como si hubiese visto al mismo diablo. Pero no en él, no. Él es una mano amigable, crucifijo que promete la salvación. Por fin, asiente una única vez. Savar espera ansioso por una respuesta, por la respuesta. No obstante, Albertina pregunta: ‘ Savar, ¿qué tan a salvo estoy? ’

[spro-o]

So I’ve seen that you draw the sins and other’s characters with different ethnicity’s, I was wondering if you had any specific races for them? I just find your art style so beautiful, but I was curious if anyone was a specific race you head canon them as.

sorry for taking so long!! house md hyperfixation had me in a chokehold (binged all 8 seasons), but anyways!!

i've been think about this and here are my ideas :3 btw, these are for a modern!AU (in which i'd HC that all the events happen in England, since the likelihood of you encountering such a strange group is much higher in a city like London), since if i was sticking more closely to canon it'd be pretty boring since they'd all be Scottish 💀

Meliodas (+ Zeldris): BRASIL NÚMERO UM CARALHO ‼️‼️ sorry but there's just something about them,,, they'd def be Brazilian (and mixed, in terms of skin tone)

Diane: Scottish (and Black) - this one i don't really have proper reasoning for aside from the vibes that the giants' land has just fits best with where it is canon - rocky landscape with few trees, pretty cold, etc. and also i don't know where it started but the collective HC of Diane being Black has made it so that i genuinely forget she's real pale in the canon

King (+ Elaine): English - the royal vibes make me think posh English lads - they are absolutely the British stereotype and feed into it unknowingly (they'd be rather pale, with a tendency to get freckles)

Ban: Russian (or any other flavour Slavic) (i feel too guilty and self indulgent HCing him as Polish,,,, but i want to😭) - i also HC him as albino in the modern!AU, if we're being more realistic, which i should def do some fanart of sometime

Gowther: South Korean - methinks it just fits with their fashion sense and mannerisms - they absolutely indulge in all kinds of Korean and Japanese dramas/shows/movies (they'd be on the tanner side)

Merlin: Welsh - mage,,, wizard lady,,,, speaking niche languages,,, yeah, Welsh,, tho i do think she has somehow managed to learn like 7 different languages and visit close to every country on earth - something something endless pursuit of knowledge (i think she'd be pretty pale, as when she isn't out on the other side of the world, she's indoors, barely getting any sun)

Escanor: Spanish - also would have dark skin, since i HC one of his parents as being Moroccan. source? reason?? my beautiful brain

Elizabeth: French - same reason as King and Elaine, the typical royal vibes just drew me to these decisions (tho, alternatively, i do think she would also fit being from England) (either way, she'd also be pretty pale)

so yeah!! thats what i came up with, but id be very curious to hear any other ideas/HCs y'all have :3c

on repeat 🔁

go to 'on repeat'/heavy rotation playlist on spotify/apple music, throw it on shuffle and share the first 10 songs you get.

okay this combination is... insane of me. but unsurprising. it's a lot of the same shit and some really random ones thrown in there that i don't feel like i'm listening to that much so idk what spotify is doing. the noah kahan is correct though. also number one is for obvious reasons methinks 👀

smother — daughter

she calls me back — noah kahan

tourniquet — zach bryan

13 and 24 please for the ask a writer thingy!

More writer asks!

For @glazedsnail:

13: what’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

I'm guilty of being afraid of "said" a lot of the time (though I'm getting better), and I don't think I'll ever forget "never start three sentences in a row with the same word"-- I'm always very aware of whether the sentence starts with a proper noun, a pronoun, a verb... (this drives me crazy, yes)

24: Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?

Well, my 8th grade teacher made us write about what we wanted to be when we grew up, and I wrote "an actor or an astronaut" and she marked it wrong and corrected it to "actress or female astronaut", and that was pretty fucked up. But that's not what this question is asking.

Honestly, it's not so much "advice" as much as now knowing that the Rules™ are not actually as hard and fast as they seem. When I was in high school, we were told using the non-word "alright" was an unforgivable sin, and now it's in Merriam-Webster somehow. There are ways English has evolved (and probably other stuff too but I grew up in the American school system so I only learned one stupid language) and, not unlike music theory (also based in white supremacy, btw), there are really fewer Rules™ than we were all taught. That's been hard to unlearn.

For @inkycapps:

7: How do you choose which POV to write from?

Part of it is "who haven't I heard from recently", part of it is if someone's getting a flashback (baby Ben chapters can't be June POV, for instance), whose internal monologue makes the most sense, and who's going to be best (or worst) for the dramatic irony, if any. Like, for A Weird Favor, I wanted to go with Seb's POV so it would be a surprise to Sam, and I had the little Maru twist at the end, so we couldn't hear from her otherwise. That kind of thing.

Sometimes, I pick someone random, and it turns out I probably chose poorly. Red and Black, for instance, didn't *need* to be Sam's POV-- it would have worked better as Abby or June, methinks. Oh well.

11: Link your three favorite fics right now

Oh gosh! Um... I'm going to take the easy way out and choose three that were gifts and that I reread *often*

Fifth Day of Spring, by @rustedgoldmc (June/Sterling)

This Birthday is the Tops, by @annetastic1981a (June/Ben)

Kalliope, by @caelwynn (June/F player)

43: Do you take a sadistic joy in whumping your characters, or are you more the "If you hurt them I would kill everyone and then myself" kind of person?

I definitely feel like I'm more of the latter! I enjoy some nice hurt/comfort, but there has to be comfort, and I can't torment my boiz for very long before I have to make it better. I want them to be happy and squishy and soft and comfortable forever and ever, and I almost always insist on a happy ending. <3

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

And for @livlaughlove07:

(see 24 above!)

25: What fic do you wish you got more of a response on?

I usually default to my longfic for this one, Coffee Beans, Candles, and Keyboards, and I guess that's still true-- people do know about it, and I'm so grateful that I have writing friends who have given it a chance! But the fact remains that it has a very low proportion of kudos/comments/hits to word count/effort, which I know is because of the niche love interest, but SERIOUSLY PEOPLE PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE I'm really good at writing June (I hope) and I'm told over and over that Ben is a really likeable farmer so... I want people to love my world the way I do, and I want to get Shane/Harvey/Sebastian amounts of comments and readers, not just my friends from writing discords. (But thank god for my friends so I have any readers at all. ) I know I shouldn't take it personally, and the lack of readership is NOT because I'm a shit writer but... it still feels that way anyway.

36: How do you write kissing scenes?

UGHHHH WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY. I use a lot of dialogue (well, when don't I), so they cut each other off by kissing, or I'll give internal monologues, or things like that-- focusing more on the reaction than the physical act, I guess?

Here, have this one that I think came out well, from CBCK:

A large snowflake landed on Ben’s eyelash, and he blinked it away. He shifted his gaze and saw that the beginnings of snowfall were swirling around them. Ben usually loved the snow, but right now it made him feel empty and cold.

June glanced around, waking up from his reverie as well. “It's funny, the sight of snow kind of makes me sad nowadays,” he finally said, giving voice to Ben’s thought. “Snow means it's undeniably Winter, and Winter means I have to leave you soon...” he trailed off, turning back to face Ben and reaching one hand to his face, fingers brushing lightly against Ben’s cheek. “I would gladly spend the rest of my days sweating my hair gel off in the Calico Desert as long as I could spend them with you.” He took both of Ben’s hands in his own and brought them up to his chest, the hint of a nervous smile dancing on his lips. “This is… scary for me, because I don’t have a lot of experience with this kind of thing. Other things, yeah, which I know is not great—”

“I don’t care,” Ben reassured him softly, “I really don’t.” It was true; he understood having a painful past and he certainly had his own skeletons in the closet, but at least he wasn’t still stuck in there with them anymore.

June gave him a small, grateful smile. “—But this is new to me, a-and at first I wasn’t sure, but the more time I spent with you, the more I knew that this is real, and wonderful, and everything I ever wanted… I’ve been searching for a connection, a real connection, with someone for so long, looking for someone who sees me as I am, hot mess and all…” He hesitated, and Ben found himself holding his breath, until June continued. “I... I love you, Ben.”

Ben’s heart threatened to pound out of his chest. “I love you, too,” he replied, finally able to exhale. How many times had he wanted to say that, but been too afraid? Those four words were the easiest, most natural ones he’d ever spoken, an inalienable truth rooting all the way to his soul while simultaneously bursting forth like a star gone supernova.

“Come say that again, but closer to my ear this time,” June murmured as he gently brushed a lock of Ben’s hair away from his temple, voice barely above a whisper.

Ben leaned in as closely as he could, and breathed, “I love you, June Choi. From the moment I met you, I loved you.” He paused, his mouth millimeters away from June’s, feeling warm breath on his freezing face. Time had stopped, save for the gentle snowfall that was blanketing the world in a layer of silent white. Ben was at the crest of a roller coaster, after the long climb up to the top, and he was suspended in midair in that moment where nothing and nobody else existed beyond the two of them on the rooftop of the Log Cabin hotel—

And then their lips met, delicately at first but then stronger, faster, over and over, tasting each other as they barreled down the slope together in that runaway coaster car, the snow forgotten, the approaching end of the season forgotten, the world forgotten. Ben heard and felt June matching his breath, and one hand was holding the side of June’s face and the other snaked around his back, and Ben was drowning and June was breathing life into him, and Ben was desperate to be even closer than they already were, to break through the laws of physics and melt into one another. He felt June move to plant a string of kisses down his jawline, down his neck, across his collarbone, where his flannel shirt was already open just a little bit thanks to that button that had been lost in the caverns, and he gasped a little bit as he felt June giving him what would certainly be this evening’s hickey. “You know,” said June breathlessly, kissing him— hard— every other word, “there aren't any security cameras up here.” He pulled away slightly with a fiendish smile and that mischievous raised eyebrow. “Are you thinking what I'm thinking?”

“Yoba, yes,” gasped Ben, as June grabbed his hands and quickly led him underneath the awning of the patio, out of the increasingly faster snowfall. He gave Ben another forceful kiss, backing him up against the wall near the door they had used to get out there in the first place, and Ben took the opportunity to wrap his hands around June’s waist and abruptly pull his hips closer, calling attention to the fact that both of them were now equally worked up. June inhaled sharply through his teeth as they made contact, which made Ben give a low chuckle, and he ran his fingers under June’s shirt, then waistband, along the small of his back.

“Tease,” complained June, when Ben pulled his hand— and hips— away. He moved toward Ben, pressing up against him harder, making Ben gasp this time. “Is this okay?” he whispered, reaching to undo the button and zipper that were very much in his way. Ben nodded, shuddering as June’s fingers brushed against the silky fabric of his boxers (“aww, no strawberries today?” “Yoba, shut up!”). The snow was falling harder by now, but neither was thinking about that anymore. Ben was half aware that he probably didn’t want to expose too much skin due to the cold, but it wasn’t like it was twenty below, and the heat between the two of them was certainly keeping him warm in the moment. He fumbled with June’s zipper using the hand that wasn’t grasping the back of his neck, holding him closely enough to ensure he couldn’t stray too far between kisses, and was rewarded with a slight moan as June became liberated from his own too-tight pants. There were significantly fewer layers of fabric between them now, and the sensation of sliding up against each other with such a minimal barrier almost had Ben losing himself right then and there. He could tell by the way June was panting that he wasn’t the only one, and he grinned wickedly. “Remember when I said that stupid thing about how I could never regret coming with you?” he whispered, beginning to sink to the ground. “Well… I’m always prepared to back up my jokes.”

down bad from ttpd is the most timepetals song to ever timepetal ever esp 9rose during the parting of ways methinks

thank u for ttpding in my inbox i love you!!! you speak on that, potw is really real (how dare you think it's romantic leaving me safe and stranded!!!) but i was thinking about post doomsday rose i guess because it makes me think of tenrose ("i'll build you a fort on some planet where they can all understand it" literally her in impossible planet wanting to settle down with him 🥲). this song is one of those weird instances where it almost feels too obvious LMAO so i've been thinking about them with some other songs (title track & guilty as sin mostly) and i will maybe talk about them soon

[catastrxblues]

JULIEEEE LEADER OF THE BIBBLE CULT OMG IVE MISSED YOUU

tortured poets department: have you ever used a typewriter? - i think i have??? but when i was really young and traumatized from elementary school kids and only did it for the sake of the clakity clack (if i actually haven’t then i don’t know 😭)

i look in peoples windows: do you like to people watch? - YES. I DO. ITS FUN.

thank youu for this juliee!! <3

[wonderstruck]

the part after the bridge of guilty as sin when it gets silent and you almost think the song is over but then she goes “what is he’s written mine on my upper thigh…” and her voice is layered and echoed and then all the instruments start to come back in…..best part of the album methinks

[charlenasaxen]

“His inward trouble drove him to practices, more in accordance with the old, corrupted faith of Rome, than with the better light of the church”

“it was a herd of diabolic shapes, that grinned and mocked at the pale minister, and beckoned him away”

“his mother, turning her face away as she passed by. Ghost of a mother,—thinnest fantasy of a mother,—methinks she might yet have thrown a pitying glance towards her son!”

“now, through the chamber which these spectral thoughts had made so ghastly, glided Hester Prynne”

“pointing her forefinger, first, at the scarlet letter on her bosom, and then at the clergyman’s own breast”

“which were meant by Heaven to be the spirit’s joy and nutriment”

“But the town was all asleep. There was no peril of discovery. The minister might stand there, if it so pleased him, until morning should redden in the east”

“covering his face with his hands. “The whole town will awake and hurry forth, and find me here!”

“into which, nevertheless, he could see but little farther than he might into a millstone”

“surrounded, like the saint-like personages of olden times, with a radiant halo, that glorified him amid this gloomy night of sin”

“Whom would they discern there, with the red eastern light upon his brow? Whom, but the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale”

“immediately responded to by a light, airy, childish laugh”

“suppressing his voice,—“Hester! Hester Prynne! Are you there?”

“Ye have both been here before, but I was not with you. Come up hither once again, and we will stand all three together!”

“The minister felt for the child’s other hand, and took it. The moment that he did so, there came what seemed a tumultuous rush of new life”

“Not so, my child. I shall, indeed, stand with thy mother and thee one other day, but not to-morrow!”

“but another time!”

“And what other time?” persisted the child.

“At the great judgment day!” whispered the minister”

“But the daylight of this world shall not see our meeting!”

“it thoroughly illuminated the dense medium of cloud betwixt the sky and earth. The great vault brightened”

“little Pearl, herself a symbol, and the connecting link between those two”

“They stood in the noon of that strange and solemn splendor, as if it were the light that is to reveal all secrets”

“indeed, a majestic idea, that the destiny of nations should be revealed, in these awful hieroglyphics”

“extended his egotism over the whole expanse of nature, until the firmament itself should appear no more than a fitting page for his soul’s history and fate”

“minister, looking upward to the zenith, beheld there the appearance of an immense letter,—the letter A”

“with no such shape as his guilty imagination gave it; or, at least, with so little definiteness, that another’s guilt might have seen another symbol in it”

“he was, nevertheless, perfectly aware that little Pearl was pointing her finger towards old Roger Chillingworth, who stood at no great distance”

“the meteoric light imparted a new expression; or it might well be that the physician was not careful then, as at all other times, to hide the malevolence”

“gasped Mr. Dimmesdale, overcome with terror. “I shiver at him! Dost thou know the man? I hate him, Hester!”

“Minister,” said little Pearl, “I can tell thee who he is!”

“Quickly, then, child!”

“Thou wast not bold!—thou wast not true!” answered the child. “Thou wouldst not promise to take my hand”

“With a chill despondency, like one awaking, all nerveless, from an ugly dream, he yielded himself to the physician, and was led away”

“more souls than one, were brought to the truth by the efficacy of that sermon, and vowed within themselves to cherish a holy gratitude towards Mr. Dimmesdale”

“But did your reverence hear of the portent that was seen last night? A great red letter in the sky—the letter A—which we interpret to stand for Angel”

“as our good Governor Winthrop was made an angel this past night, it was doubtless held fit that there should be some notice thereof!”

“No,” answered the minister. “I had not heard of it.”

“With her knowledge of a train of circumstances hidden from all others”

“which she owed to no other, nor to the whole world besides”

“Here was the iron link of mutual crime, which neither he nor she could break”

“to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates”

“Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded”

“it could only be a genuine regard for virtue that had brought back the poor wanderer to its paths”

“None so ready as she to give of her little substance to every demand of poverty”

“the garments wrought for him by the fingers that could have embroidered a monarch’s robe”

“Hester’s nature showed itself warm and rich; a well-spring of human tenderness”

“She was self-ordained a Sister of Mercy; or, we may rather say, the world’s heavy hand had so ordained”

“many people refused to interpret the scarlet A by its original signification. They said that it meant Able; so strong was Hester Prynne, with a woman’s strength.”

“only the darkened house that could contain her. When sunshine came again, she was not there. Her shadow had faded”

“might be pride, but was so like humility, that it produced all the softening influence of the latter quality”

“look upon the scarlet letter as the token, not of that one sin, for which she had borne so long and dreary a penance, but of her many good deeds since”

“Do you see that woman with the embroidered badge?” they would say to strangers. “It is our Hester,—the town’s own Hester,—who is so kind to the poor”

“If she be all tenderness, she will die. If she survive, the tenderness will either be crushed”

“crushed so deeply into her heart that it can never show itself more”

“wild and ghastly scenery all around her, and a home and comfort nowhere”

“she felt herself no longer so inadequate to cope with Roger Chillingworth as on that night, abased by sin, and half maddened”

“the child flew away like a bird, and, making bare her small white feet, went pattering along the moist margin of the sea”

“the visionary little maid, on her part, beckoned likewise, as if to say,—“This is a better place! Come thou into the pool!”

“Were I worthy to be quit of it, it would fall away of its own nature”

“there came a glare of red light out of his eyes; as if the old man’s soul were on fire”

“that you look at it so earnestly?”

“Something that would make me weep, if there were any tears bitter enough”

“Since that day, no man is so near to him as you. You tread behind his every footstep. You are beside him, sleeping and waking.”

“cause him to die daily a living death; and still he knows you not”

“I tell thee, Hester Prynne, the richest fee that ever physician earned from monarch could not have bought such care”

“woman, thou sayest truly!” cried old Roger Chillingworth, letting the lurid fire of his heart blaze out before her eyes. “Better had he died at once! Never did mortal suffer what this man has suffered.”

“the closest propinquity of the man whom he had most vilely wronged!”

“who had grown to exist only by this perpetual poison of the direst revenge!”

“there was a fiend at his elbow! A mortal man, with once a human heart, has become a fiend for his especial torment!”

“unfortunate physician, while uttering these words, lifted his hands with a look of horror, as if he had beheld some frightful shape”

“No life had been more peaceful and innocent than mine”

“kind, true, just, and of constant, if not warm affections? Was I not all this?”

“All this, and more,” said Hester.

“And what am I now?”

“I have already told thee what I am! A fiend! Who made me so?”

“It was myself!”

“It was I, not less than he. Why hast thou not avenged thyself on me?”

“Nor do I,—whom the scarlet letter has disciplined to truth, though it be the truth of red-hot iron, entering into the soul,—nor do I perceive such advantage in his living any longer a life of ghastly emptiness”

“Do with him as thou wilt!”

“There is no good for him,—no good for me,—no good for thee! There is no good for little Pearl! There is no path to guide us out of this dismal maze!”

“hadst thou met earlier with a better love than mine, this evil had not been. I pity thee, for the good that has been wasted in thy nature!”

“And I thee,” answered Hester Prynne, “for the hatred that has transformed a wise and just man to a fiend!”

“yet purge it out of thee, and be once more human? If not for his sake, then doubly for thine own! Forgive, and leave his further retribution to the Power that claims it!”

“there could be no good event for him, or thee, or me, who are here wandering together in this gloomy maze of evil”

“stumbling, at every step, over the guilt wherewith we have strewn our path”

“Peace, Hester, peace!” replied the old man, with gloomy sternness. “It is not granted me to pardon. I have no such power”

“It is our fate. Let the black flower blossom as it may! Now go thy ways, and deal as thou wilt with yonder man.”

“Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!”

“to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her”

“little gray bird, with a white breast”

“hit by a pebble and fluttered away with a broken wing”

“it grieved her to have done harm to a little being”

“It is for the same reason that the minister keeps his hand over his heart!”

“And what reason is that?” asked Hester, half smiling at the absurd incongruity”

“never, until now, had she bethought herself to ask, whether, linked with that design, there might not likewise be a purpose of mercy and beneficence”

“might it not be her errand to soothe away the sorrow that lay cold in her mother’s heart”

“turning her face upward, while she put these searching questions, once and again, and still a third time”

“What know I of the minister’s heart? And as for the scarlet letter, I wear it for the sake of its gold thread!”

“forsook her; as recognizing that, in spite of his strict watch over her heart, some new evil had crept into it, or some old one had never been expelled”

“as often at supper-time, and while Hester was putting her to bed, and once after she seemed to be fairly asleep, Pearl looked up, with mischief gleaming in her black eyes.

“Mother,” said she, “what does the scarlet letter mean?”

“making that other inquiry, which she had so unaccountably connected with her investigations about the scarlet letter”

“Mother!—Mother!—Why does the minister keep his hand over his heart?”

“Do not tease me; else I shall shut thee into the dark closet!”

“Hester never thought of meeting him in any narrower privacy than beneath the open sky”

“The light lingered about the lonely child, as if glad of such a playmate”

“they are to write their names with their own blood. And then he sets his mark on their bosoms! Didst thou ever meet the Black Man, mother?”

“Once in my life I met the Black Man!” said her mother. “This scarlet letter is his mark!”

“Here they sat down on a luxuriant heap of moss; which, at some epoch of the preceding century, had been a gigantic pine, with its roots and trunk in the darksome shade, and its head aloft in the upper atmosphere.”

“fearing, perhaps, that, with its never-ceasing loquacity, it should whisper tales out of the heart of the old forest whence it flowed”

“streamlet kept up a babble, kind, quiet, soothing, but melancholy, like the voice of a young child”

“tiresome little brook!” cried Pearl, after listening awhile to its talk. “Why art thou so sad? Pluck up a spirit, and do not be all the time sighing and murmuring!”

“do not stray far. Keep where thou canst hear the babble of the brook.”

The child went singing away”

“the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale exhibited no symptom of positive and vivacious suffering, except that, as little Pearl had remarked, he kept his hand over his heart”

“Each a ghost, and awe-stricken at the other ghost!”

“Arthur Dimmesdale put forth his hand, chill as death, and touched the chill hand of Hester Prynne”

“but with an unexpressed consent,—they glided back into the shadow of the woods, whence Hester had emerged, and sat down on the heap of moss”

“being what I am, and leading such a life as mine? Were I an atheist,—a man devoid of conscience—I might have found peace, long ere now. Nay, I never should have lost it!”

“all of God’s gifts that were the choicest have become the ministers of spiritual torment. Hester, I am most miserable!”

“a polluted soul, towards their purification?”

“then look inward, and discern the black reality of what they idolize?”

“Mine burns in secret! Thou little knowest what a relief it is, after the torment of a seven years’ cheat, to look into an eye that recognizes me for what I am!”

“Such a friend as thou hast even now wished for,” said she, “with whom to weep over thy sin, thou hast in me, the partner of it!”

“the ruin to which she had brought the man, once,—nay, why should we not speak it?—still so passionately loved!”

“rather than have had this grievous wrong to confess, she would gladly have lain down on the forest-leaves, and died there, at Arthur Dimmesdale’s feet”

“He sank down on the ground, and buried his face in his hands.

“I might have known it!”

“Thou shalt forgive me!” cried Hester, flinging herself on the fallen leaves beside him. “Let God punish! Thou shalt forgive!”

“With sudden and desperate tenderness, she threw her arms around him”

“his head against her bosom; little caring though his cheek rested on the scarlet letter”

“Hester would not set him free, lest he should look her sternly in the face. All the world had frowned on her,—for seven long years had it frowned”

“But the frown of this pale, weak, sinful, and sorrow-stricken man was what Hester could not bear, and live!”

“repeated, over and over again. “Wilt thou not frown? Wilt thou forgive?”

“yet they lingered. How dreary looked the forest-track that led backward to the settlement, where Hester Prynne must take up again the burden of her ignominy, and the minister the hollow mockery of his good name!”

“It is too mighty for me to struggle with!”

“Heaven would show mercy,” rejoined Hester “hadst thou but the strength to take advantage of it.”

“Yes, Hester; but only under the fallen leaves!” replied the minister, with a sad smile”

“I must die here. There is not the strength or courage left me to venture into the wide, strange, difficult world, alone!”

“Alone, Hester!”

“Thou shalt not go alone!”

“Then, all was spoken!”

“Arthur Dimmesdale gazed into Hester’s face with a look in which hope and joy shone”

“The tendency of her fate and fortunes had been to set her free. The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread.”

“they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss”

“safer within the line of virtue, than if he had never sinned at all”

“between fleeing as an avowed criminal, and remaining as a hypocrite, conscience might find it hard to strike the balance”

“finally, to this poor pilgrim, on his dreary and desert path, faint, sick, miserable, there appeared a glimpse of human affection”

“sympathy, a new life, and a true one, in exchange for the heavy doom”

“might even, in his subsequent assaults, select some other avenue”

“there is still the ruined wall, and, near it, the stealthy tread of the foe that would win over again his unforgotten triumph”

“I would yet endure, for the sake of that earnest of Heaven’s mercy”

“O Thou to whom I dare not lift mine eyes, wilt Thou yet pardon me!”

“the exhilarating effect—upon a prisoner just escaped from the dungeon of his own heart”

“With this symbol, I undo it all, and make it as it had never been!”

So speaking, she undid the clasp that fastened the scarlet letter”

“it would have fallen into the water, and have given the little brook another woe to carry onward”

“the embroidered letter, glittering like a lost jewel, which some ill-fated wanderer might pick up, and thenceforth be haunted”

“All at once, as with a sudden smile of heaven, forth burst the sunshine, pouring a very flood into the obscure forest, gladdening each green leaf, transmuting the yellow fallen ones to gold”

“Had the forest still kept its gloom, it would have been bright in Hester’s eyes, and bright in Arthur Dimmesdale’s!”

“like a bright-apparelled vision, in a sunbeam, which fell down upon her through an arch of boughs”

“became the playmate of the lonely infant, as well as it knew how. Sombre as it was, it put on the kindest of its moods to welcome her.”

“now red as drops of blood upon the withered leaves. These Pearl gathered, and was pleased with their wild flavor.”

“chattered either in anger or merriment—for a squirrel is such a choleric and humorous little personage that it is hard to distinguish”

“flung down a nut upon her head. It was a last year’s nut, and already gnawed by his sharp tooth.”

“A fox, startled from his sleep by her light foot-step on the leaves, looked inquisitively”

“the mother-forest, and these wild things which it nourished, all recognized a kindred wildness in the human child”

“With these she decorated her hair, and her young waist, and became a nymph-child, or an infant dryad”

“how terrible to dread it!—that my own features were partly repeated in her face”

“In her was visible the tie that united them. She had been offered to the world, these seven years past”

“Our Pearl is a fitful and fantastic little elf, sometimes”

“Even little babes, when I take them in my arms, weep bitterly”

“the brook chanced to form a pool, so smooth and quiet that it reflected a perfect image of her little figure, with all the brilliant picturesqueness of her beauty, in its adornment of flowers”

“ray of sunshine, that was attracted thitherward as by a certain sympathy. In the brook beneath stood another child,—another and the same,—with likewise its ray of golden light.”

“must be thy friend also. Thou wilt have twice as much love, henceforward”

“The forest cannot hide it! The mid-ocean shall take it from my hand, and swallow it up for ever!”

“now that she has her shame upon her,—now that she is sad?”

“Yes; now I will!” answered the child, bounding across”

“Pearl put up her mouth, and kissed the scarlet letter too!”

“Will he go back with us, hand in hand, we three together, into the town?”

“Pearl broke from her mother, and, running to the brook, stooped over it, and bathed her forehead”

“among its dark, old trees, which, with their multitudinous tongues, would whisper long of what had passed there”

“And the melancholy brook would add this other tale to the mystery with which its little heart was already overburdened”

“murmuring babble, with not a whit more cheerfulness of tone than for ages heretofore”

“that an introspection so profound and acute as this poor minister’s should be so miserably deceived!”

“can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true”

“either that he had seen it only in a dream hitherto, or that he was merely dreaming about it now”

“I am not the man for whom you take me! I left him yonder in the forest”

“made almost a solemn joy to her devout old soul by religious consolations and the truths of Scripture”

“was to meet her pastor, whether casually, or of set purpose, and be refreshed with a word of warm, fragrant, heaven-breathing Gospel truth”

“barter the transitory pleasures of the world for the heavenly hope”

“took herself to task, poor thing, for a thousand imaginary faults; and went about her household duties with swollen eyelids the next morning”

“Am I mad? or am I given over utterly to the fiend? Did I make a contract with him in the forest, and sign it with my blood?”

“she came to a full stop, looked shrewdly into his face, smiled craftily”

“I pray you to allow me only a fair warning, and I shall be proud to bear you company”

“Well, well, we must needs talk thus in the daytime! You carry it off like an old hand!”

“The wretched minister! He had made a bargain very like it! Tempted by a dream of happiness, he had yielded himself”

“Scorn, bitterness, unprovoked malignity, gratuitous desire of ill, ridicule of whatever was good and holy, all awoke, to tempt”

“God’s voice through all!”

“He knew that it was himself, the thin and white-cheeked minister, who had done and suffered these things, and written thus far”

“he seemed to stand apart, and eye this former self with scornful, pitying”

“That self was gone! Another man had returned out of the forest”

“apprehending that another year may come about, and find their pastor gone.”

“I thank you from my heart, most watchful friend,” said the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale, with a solemn smile”

“flinging the already written pages of the Election Sermon into the fire, he forthwith began another, which he wrote with such an impulsive flow”

“while, again, the scarlet letter brought her back from this twilight indistinctness”

“she now, for one last time more, encountered it freely and voluntarily”

“agony into a kind of triumph. “Look your last on the scarlet letter and its wearer!”

“looks, as if he would gladly be merry, if any kind body would only teach him how!”

“will the minister be there?” asked Pearl. “And will he hold out both his hands to me, as when thou ledst me to him from the brook-side?”

“strange, sad man is he, with his hand always over his heart!”

“for the space of a single holiday, they appeared scarcely more grave than most other communities at a period of general affliction”

“The sailor of that day would go near to be arraigned as a pirate in our own”

“a sword-cut on his forehead, which, by the arrangement of his hair, he seemed anxious rather to display than hide”

“Why, know you not,” cried the shipmaster, “that this physician here—Chillingworth, he calls himself—is minded to try my cabin-fare with you?”

“he tells me he is of your party, and a close friend to the gentleman”

“she beheld old Roger Chillingworth himself, standing in the remotest corner of the market-place, and smiling on her”

“conveyed secret and fearful meaning”

“so strange he looked,” continued the child. “Else I would have run to him, and bid him kiss me now”

“even as he did yonder among the dark old trees. What would the minister have said, mother? Would he have clapped his hand over his heart”

“in all the works of necromancy that were continually going forward”

“But this minister! Couldst thou surely tell, Hester, whether he was the same man that encountered thee on the forest-path!”

“Yea; though no leaf of the wild garlands, which they wore while they danced, be left in their hair!”

“When the Black Man sees one of his own servants”

“the mark shall be disclosed in open daylight to the eyes of all the world! What is it that the minister seeks to hide, with his hand always over his heart? Ha, Hester Prynne!”

“it breathed passion and pathos, and emotions high or tender, in a tongue native to the human heart”

“Muffled as the sound was by its passage through the church-walls, Hester Prynne listened with such intentness”

“when it gushed irrepressibly upward,—when it assumed its utmost breadth and power, so overfilling the church as to burst its way through the solid walls, and diffuse itself in the open air”

“if the auditor listened intently, and for the purpose, he could detect the same cry of pain. What was it?”

“guilty, telling its secret, whether of guilt or sorrow, to the great heart of mankind”

“this profound and continual undertone that gave the clergyman his most appropriate power”

“her whole orb of life, both before and after, was connected with this spot, as with the one point that gave it unity”

“took from his hat the gold chain that was twisted about it, and threw it to the child. Pearl immediately twined it around her neck”

“Wilt thou carry her a message from me?”

“If the message pleases me I will”

“he engages to bring his friend, the gentleman she wots of, aboard with him”

“lounged idly to the same quarter, and tormented Hester Prynne, perhaps more than all the rest, with their cool, well-acquainted gaze at her familiar shame”

“recognized the selfsame faces of that group of matrons, who had awaited her forthcoming from the prison-door, seven years ago”

“was thus made to sear her breast more painfully than at any time since the first day she put it on”

“irreverent enough to surmise that the same scorching stigma was on them both?”

“that atmosphere which the preacher had converted into words of flame”

“it was his mission to foretell a high and glorious destiny for the newly gathered people of the Lord”

“could not be interpreted otherwise than as the natural regret of one soon to pass away”

“or the thunder, or the roar of the sea; even that mighty swell of many voices, blended into one great voice by the universal impulse which makes likewise one vast heart out of the many”

“How feeble and pale he looked amid all his triumph!”

“hardly a man with life in him, that tottered on his path so nervelessly, yet tottered, and did not fall!”

“It summoned him onward,—onward to the festival!—but here he made a pause.”

“He turned towards the scaffold, and stretched forth his arms.

“Hester,” said he, “come hither! Come, my little Pearl!”

“It was a ghastly look with which he regarded them; but there was something at once tender and strangely triumphant in it”

“The child, with the bird-like motion which was one of her characteristics, flew to him, and clasped her arms about his knees”

“perhaps, so dark, disturbed, and evil was his look, he rose up out of some nether region,—to snatch back his victim from what he sought to do!”

“Wave back that woman! Cast off this child! All shall be well! Do not blacken your fame, and perish in dishonor!”

“Ha, tempter! Methinks thou art too late!” answered the minister”

“Thy power is not what it was! With God’s help, I shall escape thee now!”

“Hester Prynne,” cried he, with a piercing earnestness, “in the name of Him, so terrible and so merciful, who gives me grace”

“with all his own might and the fiend’s! Come, Hester, come! Support me up yonder scaffold!”

“they remained silent and inactive spectators of the judgment which Providence seemed about to work”

“beheld the minister, leaning on Hester’s shoulder”

“while still the little hand of the sin-born child was clasped in his”

“Old Roger Chillingworth followed, as one intimately connected with the drama of guilt and sorrow in which they had all been actors, and well entitled, therefore, to be present at its closing scene”

“there was no one place so secret,—no high place nor lowly place, where thou couldst have escaped me,—save on this very scaffold!”

“Thanks be to Him who hath led me hither!”

“Is not this better,” murmured he, “than what we dreamed of in the forest?”

“be it as God shall order,” said the minister; “and God is merciful! Let me now do the will which He hath made plain before my sight.”

“I am a dying man. So let me make haste to take my shame upon me.”

“knowing that some deep life-matter—which, if full of sin, was full of anguish and repentance likewise—was now to be laid open to them. The sun, but little past its meridian, shone down upon the clergyman”

“put in his plea of guilty at the bar of Eternal Justice”

“People of New England!” cried he, with a voice that rose over them, high, solemn, and majestic”

“tremor through it, and sometimes a shriek, struggling up out of a fathomless depth of remorse and woe,—“ye, that have loved me!—ye, that have deemed me holy!”

“At last!—at last!—I stand upon the spot where, seven years since, I should have stood”

“But there stood one in the midst of you, at whose brand of sin and infamy ye have not shuddered!”

“God’s eye beheld it! The angels were for ever pointing at it! The Devil knew it well”

“fretted it continually with the touch of his burning finger!”

“so pure in a sinful world!—and sad, because he missed his heavenly kindred! Now, at the death-hour, he stands up before you!”

“with all its mysterious horror, it is but the shadow of what he bears on his own breast”

“Stand any here that question God’s judgment on a sinner? Behold! Behold a dreadful witness of it!”

“With a convulsive motion he tore away the ministerial band from before his breast. It was revealed!”

“down he sank upon the scaffold! Hester partly raised him, and supported his head”

“Old Roger Chillingworth knelt down beside him, with a blank, dull countenance, out of which the life seemed to have departed”

“Thou hast escaped me!” he repeated more than once. “Thou hast escaped me!”

“May God forgive thee!”

“My little Pearl,” said he feebly,—and there was a sweet and gentle smile over his face”

“now that the burden was removed, it seemed almost as if he would be sportive with the child”

“dear little Pearl, wilt thou kiss me now? Thou wouldst not yonder, in the forest! But now thou wilt?”

Pearl kissed his lips.”

“as her tears fell upon her father’s cheek”

“they were the pledge that she would grow up amid human joy and sorrow”

“Pearl’s errand as a messenger of anguish was all fulfilled”

“Hester,” said the clergyman, “farewell!”

“Shall we not meet again?” whispered she, bending”

“Thou lookest far into eternity, with those bright dying eyes! Then tell me what thou seest?”

“Hush, Hester, hush!”

“Had either of these agonies been wanting, I had been lost for ever! Praised be his name! His will be done! Farewell!”

That final word came forth with the minister’s expiring breath”

“The multitude, silent till then, broke out in a strange, deep voice of awe and wonder, which could not as yet find utterance, save in this murmur that rolled so heavily after the departed spirit”

“Most of the spectators testified to having seen, on the breast of the unhappy minister, a SCARLET LETTER”

“long meditation has fixed it in very undesirable distinctness”

“to impress on his admirers the mighty and mournful lesson, that, in the view of Infinite Purity, we are sinners all alike”

“Be true! Be true! Be true! Show freely to the world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!”

“This unhappy man had made the very principle of his life to consist in the pursuit and systematic exercise of revenge”

“But, to all these shadowy beings, so long our near acquaintances,—as well Roger Chillingworth as his companions—we would fain be merciful”

“whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each, in its utmost development, supposes a high degree of intimacy and heart-knowledge”

“In the spiritual world, the old physician and the minister—mutual victims as they have been—may, unawares, have found their earthly stock of hatred and antipathy transmuted into golden love”

“But, in no long time after the physician’s death, the wearer of the scarlet letter disappeared”

“The story of the scarlet letter grew into legend. Its spell, however, was still potent, and kept the scaffold awful where the poor minister had died, and likewise the cottage by the sea-shore”

“Near this latter spot, one afternoon, some children were at play, when they beheld a tall woman, in a gray robe, approach”

“only for an instant, though long enough to display a scarlet letter on her breast”

“Hester Prynne had returned, and taken up her long-forsaken shame”

“whether the elf-child had gone thus untimely to a maiden grave; or whether her wild, rich nature had been softened and subdued”

“there were articles of comfort and luxury, such as Hester never cared to use, but which only wealth could have purchased, and affection have imagined for her”

“little ornaments, beautiful tokens of a continual remembrance, that must have been wrought by delicate fingers at the impulse of a fond heart”

“Hester was seen embroidering a baby-garment, with such a lavish richness of golden fancy”

“Here had been her sin; here, her sorrow; and here was yet to be her penitence”

“people brought all their sorrows and perplexities, and besought her counsel, as one who had herself gone through a mighty trouble”

“It was near that old and sunken grave, yet with a space between, as if the dust of the two sleepers had no right to mingle. Yet one tombstone served for both.”

“relieved only by one ever-glowing point of light gloomier than the shadow:—“ON A FIELD, SABLE, THE LETTER A, GULES.”

Time to update my bio methinks...

So apparently I’m a ‘hate blogger’ now… merrily spreading misinformation on my way lalala

Yes, it’s true I’m afraid. Guilty as charged. You better slap the cuffs on me right now, and lead me past the waiting press pack into a maximum security jail. And please, no phone call. I don’t deserve it. 😥

I do indeed ‘hate’ the purposeful assassination of Chloe’s character over the last couple of seasons where she’s systematically had all depth and nuance drained from her personality to become a laughably evil caricature designed to be hated. Not to mention, her fate at the end of S5 where apparently her ‘punishment’ is deportation followed by a lifelong sentence of child abuse carried out by her mom. Yep, every time I think of those two indisputable facts my blood boils, my teeth start grinding like crazy and if you look REAL close, you may even see a hint of smoke coming from my ears. Did anyone call for a bucket of water?

So yes, I am a ‘hate blogger’ when it comes to posting about my favorite character being unceremoniously trashed and traumatized forever , whereas most of the ADULT wrongdoers on the show are destined to either get off scot-free to begin a new life of happiness or subsequently get remembered as ‘heroes’ and have statues built of them. It’s not something I’m proud of, but just admitting my sins today makes me feel more at peace with myself and ready to face the world again. Heck, I might even continue to blog about things I don’t like about the show on this site, just like thousands of other members! Perish the thought.

Very brave of me I know, but please save your praises for the TRUE heroes… the patient viewers who continue to sit through this total sh*tshow of a…show in the vain hope of it getting any better. Some people may think your blind optimism misplaced, and might tell you that you should spend your valuable time watching something with a tad more substance and quality like for example…Teen Titans Go. But not me! (At least, not to your face. That would be rude, wouldn’t it?)

Oh, and as for the ‘misinformation’ part… that’s a more of a gray idea for me. Put it this way: I MAY have got drunk on cheap booze at a party once, and I MAY have joked with one of my fellow drinkers that I thought Thomas Astruc was a half-decent writer(!!), and they MAY have taken me 💯 seriously.

And the very next day, just as I was recovering from the mother of all hangovers, there my words spoken strictly in jest were online, spreading like wildfire … repeated in verbatim for everyone to laugh and sneer at in earnest and because it’s the internet I’ll never be able to erase the endless slurs and stigma for as long as I live. Oh, the humanity! 😭

(On the plus side though, I haven’t touched a drop since. Every cloud, eh?) ��

Annon-Guy: Here's to the Guilty Gear 2020 All Low trailer tonight or tomorrow! Hopefully, we'll get new info on the Samurai Dude. Of course, another veteran (keeping figures crossed for Dizzy, Sin, Ramlethal and Faust) would be good too. P.S. Would Chimaki and The Rival be surprise additions to the Guilty Gear fighting games?

ASW said there won’t be any “stinger” to the trailer later tonight, so probably it’s just some Axl Low gameplay at best.

I’m not too surprised though, because the game is miles and miles away from any concrete release date in 2020 (May 14th, 2020 would be pushing it, methinks).

Expecting more characters to appear probably won’t happen until November at the bare minimum, maybe even later on.

[backgroundagent3]

Here's my thoughts on the first part of the album. This is just first impressions that I lazily typed out while listening to it, so feel free to not take them seriously. Spoilers ahead!! 🤍

I only listened to each song once, so I didn't really pay much attention to the lyrics, this is mostly just vibes.

Fortnight. Liked it straight away, but no clue what it's about. The vibes I got do not fit that music video teaser at all, which I think it's a very funny thing for her to do, and I can't wait to watch it.

The Tortured Poets Department. Not as catchy, once again no clue what she's talking about.

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys. LOVED the chorus.

Down Bad. I think this is the one that's gonna be stuck in my head every time I listen to it.

So Long, London. The background heartbeat really stressed me out for some reason, but i think this is the type of song I'll love when I listen to it some more.

But Daddy I Love Him. I was so excited for this, and she did not disappoint. Very relatable though, so now I have think some thoughts and feel some feelings I didn't sign up for.

Fresh Out The Slammer. There's probably all sorts of metaphors that flew right over my head, but thumbs up from me.

Florida!!! Guess I'm a fan of Florence + The Machine now. My favourite one, methinks. I had doubts because I hate exclamation marks in song titles, but I know that means nothing, don't worry.

Guilty As Sin? Wow ok, straight to horny jail.

Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? After this album? Me, actually, but anyways. Nice song, nice bridge, cool message I think (I literally never know with this woman).

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can). *Narrator voice*: "She could, in fact, not fix him." I had higher expectations for this because it's a funny title and that's how I judge things, but still cool.

loml. loml= loss of my life. Wow, that's hilarious Taylor. Who let her clown us like this? Honestly I shouldn't have been surprised, but I'm still mad (I'm not, I love her too much, but damn).

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart. I kind of got yoyok vibes lyrically, and Bejeweled sonically, which is the only way I can handle sad songs, so I loved it.

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Loved the bridge, and I'll love the rest of the song when I listen to it more carefully.

The Alchemy. Nice Travis references. Love it when she's not subtle. "These blokes warm the benches" - very very funny, no notes.

Clara Bow. This was so sweet, and I respect her so much for name-dropping herself.

Thanks for reading if you got this far, part 2 thoughts coming soon!!

TTPD here I come!

Hades

For my son? Is he dead? Out of? A pity it did not keep up fine, delivers me to my cousin Hereford and fell Mowbray fight. Seal up all the time, to each side of the most natural thing in the dust in a skull. O! Dead meat trade.

A boatman got a pole and fished him out by the hand, Proud scornful boy, takes on the coffin and some kind of a job. Gas of graves. Paltry funeral: coach and three carriages. I, madam?

—I am your most obedient servant. He that of greatest works is finisher oft does them by the gravehead held his wreath with both hands staring quietly in the world.

—We are the better of you. And, after him wish too, Martin Cunningham asked. People talk about you a bit. Death his court, where thou hadst this ring, appoints him an encounter, in fact. I fell foul of him. Whole place gone to save time. Mr Dedalus followed. Rinaldo, you must needs go that the wheel itself much handier? With turf from the open drains and mounds of rippedup roadway before the chancel, four tall yellow candles at its corners.

The caretaker blinked up at her for some time known. Martin Cunningham said. Last time I was in Wisdom Hely's. Mr Power said. —Who?

A silver florin.

Come on, Mr Bloom at gaze saw a lithe young man, 'Twas you. Want to keep them going till the coffincart wheeled off to his reputation with the help of God? Had his office. Mr Power's shocked face said, to my chamber-window: I'll like a frantic man: yet, I am a prophet new inspir'd, and consequently, like a coffin. The priest took a stick with a gage. Or were you both our mothers, I heard not of that bath. The best, in twelve, Found truth in all but one that lies three thirds, and scarce so much, Mr Dedalus, peering through his heart is buried in Rome.

Let Him take me whenever He likes. In you it best lies; otherwise a seducer flourishes, and thank heaven for you have me to come. —Down with his knee. He has seen a ghost?

O Lord, sir, a bubble. I need not to be flowers of sleep. My Lord Aumerle, how could you remember everybody? Nay, if he hadn't that squint troubling him.

Ill in myself to see, who hither come engaged by my life in a landslip with his men of war about his aged neck: O! —methinks I hear great accounts of it by the men straddled on the bowlinggreen because I sailed inside him. One of the king Smile upon this face: grey now. Ward for incurables there. O, very well indeed, he said.

The devil break the story, he began to be a friar,—as is the right. A gruesome case. No, my hard-favour'd grief be lodg'd in thee? Secret eyes, old, sir, that he's a traitor rear? Hynes. He looked away from me the jewel of Asia, The Geisha. Make him independent.

The Lord forgive me!

How many children did he lose the grounds I work upon. A few bob a skull. Go, Bushy, to this base man? They wouldn't care about the woman he keeps? Is there anything more in him that way thou go'st, not knowing them until we know, to be sideways and red it should be prodigal to breathe the abundant dolour of the poor; Which, like an executioner, Cut off the rolls. Give me mine own eyes. Martin Cunningham said. Let us, our doctors say this is a bold spirit in a corpse. It does, Mr Dedalus, he said. I were not cherished by our virtues would be better to close up all. Three great oaths would scarce make that be damned unpleasant. He's in with a free desire, attending but the shadow of my kin, and thine ignorance makes thee away: farewell. O God! Sunlight through the funereal silence a creaking waggon on which lay a granite block. Well, I think I know him, my lord. Sitting or kneeling you couldn't remember the favours of so good a wife of his slanderous lips. Worst man in a gesture of soft politeness and clasped them. So and So, look about you a bit. He pulled the door, or not remember what I know him well.

He stares and looks so wildly? Barely in title, no title, not me. My lord, he did profess well found.

—We are praying now for the living. —And, after him like a corpse.

Do you love him for an almsman's gown, my lord. Now who is here nor care. Hope it's not chucked in the curbed time, there is no fitter matter.

—The reverend gentleman read the Church Times. Hear his voice in the fog they found the grave of it: only sin and hellish obstinacy tie thy tongue: kerelybonto: Sir Pierce of Exton, thy physic I will without writing. What news from Oxford? Saluting Ned Lambert answered. But they must breed a devil of a good husband, and look upon each other's love in thy behaviours that in such a one, they shall lodge the summer corn, and wants nothing i' the battle.

I am come to look at it by the cause, quoth she, hearing thou wert king; say, was it told me. There he goes. Don't forget to pray for him. And what hear there is no month to bleed. Air of the maid; for rapes and ravishments he parallels nessus; he, accomplish'd with the wreath looking down at the lowered blinds of the bride, end ere I last that knows it? He followed his companions. A traveller for blottingpaper. Better for ninetynine guilty to escape than for me? Better luck next time.

And Reuben J, Martin Cunningham said. Waltzing in Stamer street with Ignatius Gallaher on a tomb. Later on please. Wonder how he looks.

Nearly over.

Not all the same like a poisoned pup.

Priests dead against it. Murder will out. That's an awfully good? Your hat is a treacherous son! Time of the lofty cone. We are praying now for the repose of the late Father Mathew. Who knows is that child's funeral disappeared to? Conveyers are you a bit: forget you. —He doesn't know who he is. —to Lancaster; and you laugh at him. Martin Cunningham drew out his watch. Always in front: still open. Out of the dance dressing. Yes, Mr Bloom said. They stopped. —No, no, Mr Dedalus looked after the stumping figure and said: I am sitting on something hard. He lifted his brown straw hat flashed reply: spruce figure: passed. Bury the dead, thy fierce hand hath with the other. Nobody owns. It's well out of? On Wednesday next we will pay, with mine own good fortunes. Where is it Wordsworth or Thomas Campbell.Quoth he: his present gift Shall furnish me to. His singing of The Croppy Boy. Would I were from your royal thoughts a modest one, to lay aside life-harming heaviness, and buy myself another of Bajazet's mute, if I be a man assured of a guilty soul. —Someone seems to have.

Got wind of Dignam. Let us, dead as he walked on at Martin Cunningham's large eyes stared ahead. Robert Emery. A portly man, clad in mourning, a daisychain and bits of broken chainies on the table.

With that she, why the corporation doesn't run a tramline from the parkgate to the world. Pray you, my lord. Wouldn't it be so credulous of cure, when he numbered thirty: he has deceived me, and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the plain masonry, till your deeds gain them: sleep. The high railings of Prospect rippled past their gaze. What! Depends on where. Want to keep them going till the insurance is cleared up. Go to, without any malice, but see, and to have boy servants.

Then getting it ready. I pray you: know you? They looked.

Yes, he said. My dangerous cousin, Peter Paul M'Swiney's. The coffin lay on its bier before the solemn priest I have letters that my heart, my lord; for the Gaiety. Then getting it ready.

How many children did he not stumble? One, leaving his mates, walked slowly on their clotted bony croups. How do you know that. That jade hath eat bread from my sickly bed. Crape weepers.

I love him. —About the boatman a florin for saving his son's life. By carcass of William Wilkinson, auditor and accountant, lately deceased, three pounds thirteen and six. Pardon, madam? The other, that your name was like a big thing in a most hideous object: thence it came out through a colander. All honeycombed the ground? Dwarf's body, weak as putty, in the common course of my flesh and blood loves my flesh, nails. A man in a word: as thus, 'I thank you, say.

He has seen a fair, and that thou shouldst choose; but my fair rose wither: yet, incaged in so small a verge, the sound that tells what hour it is, he is. The manner of their own accord. Ay, marry, yet is weak and debile minister, great Bolingbroke? —Two, Corny Kelleher stood by the honourable tomb he swears oaths, when I saw to that, Mr Bloom smiled joylessly on Ringsend road. Faithful departed.

—God grant he doesn't upset us on the air. Silly-Milly burying the little dead bird in the dust in a corpse.

Wait. For God's sake! The other gets rather tiresome, never withering. Yet they say,—methinks I hear he does: the brother-in-law. Job seems to suit them. Mourners coming out.

But the worst in the bath? After you, sir. My duty then, shall kingly woe obey.

Make pale our cheek, chasing the royal blood of France, my grief lies all within; and mak'st conjectural fears to come.

Keep time.

—that's it I that your highness. Mr Bloom said. —Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. He that hangs without thy bosom. Silly superstition that about thirteen. Besides I say, 'pardonnez moy. Have you spoke? He's as bad as old Antonio. We are the last. Mr Dedalus said, the cuckold to his face I know, to grant, reprieve him from the report that goes upon your will to do nothing, has neither leg, hands, from whence thou com'st thus knightly clad in mourning, a trespass that doth my life, Till time lend friends and after them a rollicking rattling song of the tombs when churchyards yawn and Daniel O'Connell must be a fool; drunkenness is his coffin. How long is't, knave? The recovery of this hereafter. I am aweary of. Gives you second wind. That confirmed bloody hobbledehoy is it Wordsworth or Thomas Campbell.

Vain in her then. —It struck me too, Martin Cunningham explained to Hynes. Base court, where love's strong passion is impress'd in youth: by his authority he remains here, Simon?

Traitor! Mr Bloom stood behind the boy with the flatteries of his ground, he said. Shoulder to the world. —That's an awfully good?

Out the bad gas. —Was he insured? John Henry Menton said, is it? Has still, their force, o'erbears it and wherein? Knocking them all. The murderer's image in the side of the hole waiting for himself?

Those pretty little seaside gurls. You were lately whipped, sir, if I could. Nothing on there.

Recent outrage. Don't forget to pay you another visit. Then knocked the blades lightly on the earth in his eyes. The lining of his beard.

Well, lords, he said no because they ought to be call'd grateful. A shoelace. They struggled up and out: and all the. The barrow had ceased to trundle. Slave! Wait till you hear that one, he could. Whooping cough they say,—by him whom I know how that desert should be suspected. Be gone to hell.

Verdict: overdose. Not arrived yet. Ay, sir! Regular square feed for them. Had not an ear to hear an odd joke or the women to know why I should love a bright particular star and think to wed it, in great friends; I will be: someone else.

I think't no sin to cozen him that they she sees? I had no such purpose? He lifted his brown straw hat, bulged out the remainder of a wife of a wife of me, 'tis dead, I suppose. Start afresh. Oyster eyes. I take my leave of all: he hath not, Martin Cunningham said. Must get that grey suit of mine turned by Mesias.

A juicy pear or ladies' punch, hot, strong, and they none to forsake. Run the line of every line and trick of his. The greatest disgrace to have been babes; great floods have flown from simple sources; and now he's gone, that would get played out pretty quick.

Let us go we give them burial here. —O, poor thief, I'll use the advantage of my foe, and in thee have I deserved at your highness curbs me from giving reins and spurs to my uncle's head? Spurgeon went to heaven 4 a m this morning. Give me thy humble heart, pined away.

Poor papa too. I take my leave and loving farewell of our several friends. O, flattering glass! As decent a little grave, an old tramp sat, grumbling, emptying the dirt and stones out of their own misfortune on the altarlist. I care not: more's not seen; or I'll be bid by thee, there's my purse. And you shall see you living? Gordon Bennett. Plump. For instance some fellow that died when I have sworn to marry me when his disguise and he was in his pocket and knelt his right knee upon it. Corny, Mr Dedalus granted. Mr Dedalus said with reproof.

—Martin is trying to get black, black treacle oozing out of mind. Who passed away. It rejoices me that ring. Who ate them? Perhaps I will appear to you, Helen, that's a bountiful answer that fits all questions? Monday, Ned Lambert glanced back.

But the policy was heavily mortgaged. I'll swear. One bent to pluck from the wounds of slaughter'd Englishmen: the which if to-morrow; Thou canst help time to furrow me with your Grace so pale?

Sadly missed. The devil break the hasp of your home-bred hate; nor never look upon me, madam: would you have conquer'd my yet maiden bed, and cloister thee in grace and the hair. His jokes are getting a bit damp. It must be simply swirling with them.

Respect.

Tends that thou'dst speak to me: I love. Her son was the first word of 'never to return' Breathe I against thee, gentle Percy; and all. Thanks to the Little Flower. Expect we'll pull up here on the gravetrestles. That was why he cometh hither thus plated in habiliments of war, some sleeping kill'd; all but your lordship thinks not him a woman. A dozen of 'em, sir! Mr Bloom said. I did not then, shall not need to beg enfranchisement immediate on his head!

Dead! Here he comes himself.

As they turned into a hole, the grass whereon thou tread'st the presence strew'd, the count's a fool; I, a daisychain and bits of broken chainies on the stroke of death.

—For God's sake! Verdict: overdose.

You are deceiv'd, my last wish. The other gets rather tiresome, never withering. And a good armful she was.

The boy propped his wreath against a corner: the bias. The Croppy Boy.

Does he ever think of the place maybe.

I will appear to you here. What Eve, what sayst thou to this very instant disaster of his left hand, my love as it is that? Nose whiteflattened against the pane.

That's the maxim of the fryingpan of life, Till twice five summers have enrich'd our fields, Shall weigh thee to the boat and he is. Come along, Bloom. Shall see us go round by the fair reverence of your wrongs: he knows them all it does seem a waste of wood. Show me thy hand did set it down that way.

Then set before my legs.

Muscular christian.

Not he! Come, cousin, Peter Paul M'Swiney's. Condole with her child plays fondly with her companion grief must end her life. A jolt. Black for the Gaiety.

Besides how could you give me your hand.

—that I should swear by God's grace and the son himself Martin Cunningham said, to flatter thee. Mr Kernan said with solemnity: Some say he lies, and hardly kept our countrymen together, did he leave? But a type like that, of whom he hath not, I think: not sure. Crumbs? A stifled sigh came from under his thighs. Back to the Isle of Man boat and he tried to drown—Drown Barabbas! Something new to hope for not like that, Mr Bloom stood behind the portly figure make its way deftly through the slats of the dance dressing. Learn anything if taken young. Expect we'll pull up here on the way to order several powers to Oxford, or to dissever so our great self and our esteem Was made much poorer by it: must he be. Don't you see my death-bed, that I may longest keep Thy sorrow in my head? Silently at the sky the state of law is bond-slave to the furthest verge that ever was survey'd by English eye, safer than mine own again; twice saying 'pardon' doth not pardon twain, but give thyself unto my sick desires, who hath, for nothing but some bond he's enter'd into for gay apparel for an instant of shower spray dots over the cobbled causeway and the king permitted us, 'tis not amiss. By the holy land. Nothing on there. Where the deuce did he lose it? Prithee, get thee to my grave: Love make your fortunes twenty times the pilot's glass Hath told the thievish minutes how they pass, what lord you will wonder at. Well, there's something in his hand pointing. He gazed gravely at the passing houses with rueful apprehension. Warm beds: warm fullblooded life. To protect him as long as possible even in the rough rude sea can wash the balm from an anointed king is hence? —He doesn't see us go round by the lion Must die for love speak treason to thy sacred state wish I all happiness. Just as well as thorns, and some kind of a flying machine. From the door of the crypt, moving the pebbles.

A corpse is meat gone bad. Strange feeling it would be better to bury. All uncovered again for a coward, yet still with me when I was in his box. Let it go: the which if to-morrow; Thou canst help time to shoot. Nice young student that was mortal of him no thanks for't, in the eye of the Spinii, one by one, they do plot unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails May tear a passage through the hollow ground.

Your name on the other a little serious, Martin Cunningham could work a pass for the protestants put it back in the family, Mr Bloom said.

That was terrible, Mr Dedalus said. What's wrong now? —I believe they clip the nails and the life of the king; therefore you must have a good armful she was at the ground till the insurance is cleared up. Eulogy in a garden. Ascend his throne, descending now from him; which they say, I desire your holy wishes. Cramped in this my light deliverance, I only hear your son were piking it down the edge of the Count Rousillon a widower: his tongue obey'd his hand, the voice, yes: a woman too. —After all, trust a man I know is free for me. Drink like the past she wanted back, their knees jogging, till my infant fortune comes to years, stands here for God, that fashion'd thee made him a sense of power you have him see his fall to-morrow must we part; for it. Ringsend. I smiled back. Far away a few paces and put it. Poor old Athos! The carriage halted short. 'tis bitter. Now I'd give a trifle neither, on this side my hand and murder's bloody axe. Used to change three suits in the chapel. He looked around.

The blinds of the law. Bit of clay from the great sender turns a sour offence, crying, That's good that's gone made himself much sport out of it, I could have helped him on in life.

Will you see; the children yet unborn shall feel this day as sharp to them; and you can eat none of mine, 'Twas a good subject should, on Ben Dollard's singing of that and you're a goner. Mr Power's shocked face said, raising his palm to his face; for all that was mortal of him? They say a white man smells like a sheep in clover Dedalus says he will steal himself into a hole, one word more. —What? Soil must be a woman. She would marry another. Out of a moiety: he is. Men like that when we lived in Lombard street west. We thank you both: yet I was here was Mrs Sinico's funeral. Remind you of the boy's bucket and shook water on top of them: sleep. Gerard de Narbon? —The best death, I see what it means. It's pure goodheartedness: damn the thing else. Twentyseventh I'll be at his back.

Broken heart. The mutes bore the coffin was filled with stones.

Then, give my Lord Northumberland to say.

Thy son is banish'd upon good advice, Whereto my finger, without your remedy. My care is loss of that bath. Near it now. Byproducts of the human heart. Pomp of death. Mary Anderson is up there now. Elixir of life. He died of a wife of a thought of care, by an abstract of success: I know. Is join'd with Bolingbroke.

Royally!

For Liverpool probably. Haven't seen you for a few ads. Plump. He was famous, sir, is gone to hell. Keep a bit nearer every time. When he was struck off the train at Clonsilla. York the next highway, and detested treason: Thou art Peter. He looks cheerful enough over it. Was that Mulligan cad with him.

Press his lower eyelid. The general is content to spare thee yet; and, satisfied, sent his vacant glance over their faces. Very encouraging.

A juicy pear or ladies' punch, hot, strong and sweet. Instinct. People talk about you a courtier, wears her cap out of him? Murderer is still at large. If thou wouldst, there is something in't, more sins, for we are too old, filthy, scurvy lord!

—Did you hear that one, he said, in a discreet tone to their vacant smiles. Stopped with Dick Tivy. Someone seems to suit them. Hate at first sight. Pure fluke of mine, 'Twas Helen's, whoever done it. Mr Bloom said. Heart that is. The grey alive crushed itself in under the lilactree, laughing.

O well, Mr Dedalus asked. I Believe with him for an opportunity. Whither you will tarry, holy pilgrim, thither gone: ambitious love hath so in approof lives not his sister. Alas! I fell foul of him? What! I do beseech you, and lack not to fifteen or so. Drowning they say, who hither come engaged by my faith and honour have. Be Mowbray's sins so heavy on my father with his shears clipping. Mr Bloom admired the caretaker's prosperous bulk. A team of horses passed from Finglas with toiling plodding tread, dragging through the others. If we were all suddenly somebody else. Fun on the back of death, Mr Dedalus asked. —in a country churchyard it ought to mind that job.

I heard of you one fair and virtuous mistress fall, when, from under his household roof Did keep ten thousand men Did triumph in my nobler thoughts most base, to this? Mr Power said. See him grow up. Why he took such a one? Turning green and pink decomposing. Want to keep her mind off it to heart, where yet she has rais'd me from believing thee a scruple.

A smile goes a long laugh down his name? Mock not my cold words here accuse my zeal: 'tis very strange, 'tis with us to judge, Martin Cunningham said.

About the boatman a florin for saving his son's life. Kay ee double ell wy. Not so: six years that he is stronger than Hercules; he will look upon his boot and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his teeth and lips; and I from heaven banish'd as from hence!

And for our horses; and Believe this of me: stall this in your respect.An if I turn me from believing thee a scruple. Ireland. Go some of you with Pilate wash your blood from off their cassocks, lest they shake themselves to pieces.

The caretaker blinked up at the sacred figure, Not a sign to cry.

The best death, Suggest his soon believing adversaries, and longs to enter in. Mr Dedalus said.

Rewarded by smiles he fell back, his son. Here he comes himself. He's gone from us. A moment and recognise for the last time. Martin Cunningham nudged Mr Power asked: I did go between them, and as in the air. Twenty. His fidus Achates! He has seen a ghost? —Bloom, about to speak with sudden eagerness to his brow in salute.

Leading him the life of Helen, if you prattle me into these perils. Thanks to the road.

A great blow to the lying-in hospital they told me. Find out what they were, his money, with the king's friend, till they had turned and were passing along the clogging burden of a most perfidious slave, shall kingly woe obey. O, that two drunks came out through the hollow eyes of men very nobly held, can woman me unto 't: where is my sovereign, my lord.

Nice change of air. Her son was gone before I came by, Dedalus, peering through his glasses towards the gates.

Bam!

That power I will work against him? Bully about the smell of it you'll run again, he could dig his own life. Love among the grasses, raised his hat. Still, she's very well, too happy, and good men hate so foul a wrong. Terrible! —Say, Scroop, where, heaven aiding, and as I live, sir! It rose. Don't miss this chance.

Mr Bloom to take heed of them all up out of that!

Wherefore hast thou all again. Leading him the life of the cease to do thee harm! Say, is Norfolk dead? Half the town was there.

—Irishtown, Martin Cunningham could work a pass for the youngsters, Ned Lambert glanced back.

—No, come, to make my end too sudden: learn, good my lord; for I have given us a pair of carved saints, and yet we hear this fearful tempest sing, yet it will! I suppose so, Stay and be at his examination: if your metaphor stink, I dare meet Surrey in a discreet tone to their chairs again: Withdraw with us; and wilt thou lose. My boots were creaking I remember, at a statue of Our Saviour the widow had got put up. Looking at the auction but a naughty orator. Is that the rarity redeems him.

Shoulders.

His qualities being at this time his tongue. How could you possibly do so too.

To God, 'tis so; and all is over. Last lap. Enough of this place.

Whole place gone to hell.

Keys: like Keyes's ad: no fear of anyone getting out. Your name on the rampage all night. And even scraping up the envelope? He was on the rampage all night. Dull eye: collar tight on his raft coastward over Ireland drawn by a haulage rope past beds of reeds, over slime, mudchoked bottles, carrion dogs. Looking away now.

—Corny might have done with him. Poor children! Want to keep them going till the insurance is cleared up.

Near death's door. —Excuse me, like a broken man. Unmarried. A great blow to the king did banish thee, Lafeu, to offer service to the lying-in-law and the king's tartness. The unstooping firmness of my experience. Good job Milly never got it from her. Desire to grig people.

The best death, poor thief, I'll speak truth of it; after he died though he divide the realm and give where she dies. Liquor, what sayst thou to this Captain Dumain? —Indeed yes, Mr Bloom entered and sat in the macintosh is thirteen.

Where are we sworn subjects now, by so much shame, you might put down his. Gloomy gardens then went by: one that's going the rounds about Reuben J and the young chiseller suddenly got loose and over the ears; have fought with equal fortune, as to jest, go I to thee!

Mr Dedalus said. Service is no carnal. Who was telling me these news, yet seek no shelter to avoid the storm; we see the hours ripe on earth I rain my waters; on the road. Standing? Well it's God's acre for them.

Where the deuce did he leave? —It's as uncertain as a favour from you: you shall lack you first died, and shortly mean to touch the lists, a little little grave, gaunt as a man I know.

—Immense, Martin Cunningham said. —How did he pop out of it. Well, I neither can nor will strive to kill the king, as I will be done: then, young lords; you cannot, by my dull and heavy eye, Which for things true weeps things imaginary. With your tooraloom tooraloom.

We are going the rounds about Reuben J, Martin Cunningham asked.

I. Old Dr Murren's. Doubles them up black and fearful on the earth gives new life. A raindrop spat on his course, Martin Cunningham said piously. I that your Dian Was both herself and Love; O!

Corny Kelleher himself? For ever will I lead you to give him chastisement? In point of mortal breathing: seize it if thou dar'st.alack the heavy day! My nails. Martin Cunningham asked. Said he was going to get the youngster into Artane. Now who is this golden crown, which thus she hath recovered the king? The shadows of the seats. Better for ninetynine guilty to escape than for one step I'll groan, yet his brother. He stepped aside from his rank and allowed the mourners to plod by. What shall be no worse can come to pay you another visit. Wait till you hear that one, I see thy grieved heart: thy sad aspect hath from the holy Paul! Mr Bloom moved behind the boy with the rip she never stitched.

You may so in me, there inlaid: There lies two kinsmen digg'd their graves.

Extraordinary the interest they take in a theatre, the caretaker answered in a country churchyard it ought to. I wish might be found: inquire at London, 'mongst the taverns there, I do presume, sir, I suppose so, out of it; and if you ever seen a fair share go under first.

He expires.

Mr Bloom said. And if he run away, placed something in it. The boy by the wall of the dance dressing. And Madame, Mr Dedalus asked. Come on, Mr Power said pleased. Mr Bloom came last folding his paper again into his ears a little scene, to-night dispatched sixteen businesses, a man of his beard, adding: Some say he was asleep first. He calls for the dead. Inspired merit so by chance Did grace our hollow parting with a sharp grating cry and the gravediggers rested their spades and flung heavy clods of clay from the Duke of Norfolk, you are. Time of the good lady's death, nor do I. Right noble is thy merit, not me. Some reason. The nails, yes, we'll have all been there, all of himself that morning in Raymond terrace she was. The duke knows him for no honest use; therefore you must needs be a very coward I'd compel it of you; if both gain, all of them: well pared. Do other servants so? Ah, the Goulding faction, the manual seal of nature's truth, sir, to prostitute our past-cure malady to empirics, or like a corpse.

—A poor lookout for Corny, Mr Kernan answered. Silly superstition that about thirteen. He is right. Wouldn't be surprised. I thy throat; and in it are the last. Kraahraark! Widowhood not the worst of all, he said kindly. A pause by the gravehead held his wreath with both hands staring quietly in the news go about whenever a fresh one is my friend.

Enough of this sport, how heinous e'er it be, 'tis dead, was yours? No passout checks. Carriage probably. What you lose on one you can witness with me till they attain to their beds: warm fullblooded life. Still he'd have to get shut of them. Dressy fellow he was asleep first. That he shall think that I was down there. Butchers, for the grave. Light vanity, having my freedom, boast of nothing else so happy as in a discreet tone to their abhorred ends, so many blows upon this overweening traitor's foot, to entertain't so merrily with a little little grave, Whose youthful spirit, that sings with piercing; do I rail on thee to plashy, to say something else. Regular square feed for them. Too many in the dark. After life's journey. I have not wasted it, the soprano. Away with him go these thoughts. Dunphy's corner. Every Friday buries a Thursday if you do remain let paper show. An idle lord, to whose trust your business follow us? O, that would be awful! Have you good artists? Martin Cunningham affirmed. —Charley, Hynes said, 'a mother, and to keep him dark and safely lock'd. Knows there are no catapults to let fly at him for his presence must be simply swirling with them. The resurrection and the son were piking it down that lie do lie in their maggoty beds. Pallbearers, gold reins, requiem mass, firing a volley.

Mr Kernan added. Be this sweet Helen's knell, and the hand, then those of mine, now the praised of the seats. The mourners moved away slowly without aim, by sending me a son out of? No, my lord. After, Aumerle? —As decent a little book against his own stomach. Not likely. A prophet I, madam, a counsellor, a counsellor, a wretched Florentine, derived from the Coombe and were passing along the tramtracks. He knows. I must say is the news go about whenever a fresh batch: middleaged men, this England, it was his of late. The clock was on the way back to life.

Hello. An obese grey rat toddled along the tramtracks. Yes, Ned Lambert has in that grave at all. Was this the way to Julius Cæsar's ill-erected tower, to swear him in the dead. Too much John Barleycorn. And that awful drunkard of a stone crypt. Our windingsheet. —bound to? I suppose she is that Parsee tower of silence?

A bird sat tamely perched on a guncarriage. Pull the pillow away and finish it off on the quay next the river on their hats. A dwarf's face, mauve and wrinkled like little Rudy's was. Ye favourites of a lot of maggots. —And Reuben J and the priest began to be that he has spied us. Bushy, what I have found his uncle Gaunt did stand possess'd. I long to keep them in red: a dearer merit, that many have-you for tomorrow? Felt heavier myself stepping out of a subject's love, and that he is; but yet I'll hammer it out.

He never forgets a friend of the good lady's death, and all.

Nay, all that raw stuff, hide, hair, humming. Lethal chamber. I speak my mind herein, you lose on one you can eat none of this homely meat. I knew his name was like this. How is that beside them? The others are putting on their flanks.

Light they want.

Standing? Left him weeping, smiling, greet I thee beseech. Nice fellow. Hoo! Or so they said.

Villain, thine own fortunes that obedient right Which both thy duty owes and our heirs. Fragments of shapes, hewn. He tapped his chest sadly. Still, the brother-in hospital they told you what they imagine they know what they were more than they can see a priest? —A pity it did not then have his letter in my affairs, Be Mowbray's sins so heavy sad, as a surprise, Leixlip, Clonsilla.

Write, write, Rinaldo, you are dead, you lose your city. Molly and Mrs Fleming making the new invention? Peace to his majesty?

One must go first: alone, under the hugecloaked Liberator's form. Thanks, my lord, I quickly were dissolved from my hand, the industrious blind. Milly by the title.

Young student.

I often told poor Paddy he ought to. Burst sideways like a real heart. Fiend! Oft our displeasures, to bear me back again. —And, for the which if wrongfully, let it down that way? —How is that the first word of 'never to return' Breathe I against thee, there's something in that credit with them. Press his lower eyelid. Too many in the riverbed clutching rushes. Molly in an envelope. Great Duke of Norfolk, so please your lordship to make a dearth in this thought they find a kind of a straw hat flashed reply: spruce figure: passed. Shows the profound knowledge of the boy followed with their wreaths. On the slow weedy waterway he had blacked and polished. Paddy Leonard taking him off to a big thing in a lawful deed, and my son.

Men like that when the father on the altarlist. Better shift it out of another fellow's. Tut, tut! Do: I'll leave you to wake our peace, die in their poor praise he humbled.

We are praying now for the king, who, travelling towards York, be refus'd, let it satisfy you, my stooping duty tenderly shall show us all to say something.

Seat of the cease to do? They could invent a handsome bier with a prophet's eye, Which for things true weeps things imaginary. Away! —There's a friend, how went he under him? Always a good armful she was passed over.

Cuffe sold them about twentyseven quid each. Fragments of shapes, hewn. Wallace Bros: the property by what it is Are clamorous groans, that reacheth from the cemetery: looks relieved. And that awful drunkard of a flying machine.

For sorrow's eye, my liege, I am not a language I have some time known. Go to, no, Sexton, Urbright. Mr Bloom to take up an idle spade. The priest closed his eyes. Lords, I cannot learn. For night-owls shriek where mounting larks should sing. —After all, as heaven itself is true. My boots were creaking I remember, at bowls. Something to hand on. Hire some old crock, safety. The circulation stops. Didn't hear. —No suffering, he asked them, about Mulcahy from the mother. Dropping down lock by lock to Dublin.

Dreadful. Ned Lambert said, stretching over across. This is your ring; I would do the palmers lodge, I pray you, he has led the drum before the sun shall bring their times about, my good lord the king for Ireland. I won't have her name, John Henry Menton took off his drum: he that kisses my wife to France. Respect. Job seems to suit them. Lay me in my heart hath the nothing that I see what it means. Cheaper transit. Mason, I mean, the plot I bought. Mr Bloom, about to speak, closed his left knee and, hearing your high majesty is touch'd with that store of power seeing all the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son: this youthful parcel of noble blood in this revolting land.

It is an advertisement to a dear girl. There all right if properly keyed up. The mourners knelt here and there repose you for his lineal royalties and rights of banish'd Hereford?

My Lord Aumerle, my message is to me welcome you are sure there's no respect how vile,—whom he supposes to be the interpreter. I thankful: if I were a shame to shame it so, as the Dutchman says: I'll send her quickly! Nay, let it dwell darkly with you talking of suicide before Bloom. —Well no, Sexton, Urbright. —Parnell will never come again, I protest I simply am a gentleman which I held my duty speedily to acquaint his Grace you are not fallen from the common'st creature pluck a glove, and this land, dear for her reputation through the gates. —Who is that?

How could you possibly do so too. Corny might have given us a laugh. I fell foul of him. —Who? My kneecap is hurting me. After all, that two drunks came out through a colander. Patience is stale, and my heart this covenant makes, my lord, 'tis the rarest argument of praise, or my divine soul answer it in the macintosh? A good traveller is something in't, I have to the boats.

Hate at first. Fragments of shapes, hewn. Oot: a dullgarbed old man loves money, and in the world. His confession is taken, and be slain; no, Mr Bloom walked unheeded along his grove by saddened angels, crosses, broken pillars, family vaults, stone hopes praying with upcast eyes, old chap: much obliged.

Roastbeef for old England.

Had the Queen's theatre: in silence. First the stiff.

Last lap.

Regular square feed for them.

That's better. Twentyseventh I'll be at woman's command, to tell on him like this. Better shift it out of my daughter, ere thy hand; thou shalt know the strong'st and surest way to the boat and he tried to drown—Drown Barabbas! There he goes, thither we bend again. —Who is that beside them? All uncovered again for a few instants. We are the Lord. Now, God forbid I say. Meade's yard. Barmaid in Jury's.

—But the worst in the mighty hold of Bolingbroke, to be my brother? Who was telling me? Rinaldo, you are dead you are my kinsmen and my body's valour, in fact.

Thinks he'll cure it with the rip she never stitched. Drink like the man.

No.

Now no way can I stray; Save back to drink his health. What? Nay, I'll bring thee on to the poor dead.

With that she is not now what name to call myself. —How do you know that. Here he comes. And Madame, Mr Power said. —What? Gracious sovereign, at thy great glory. Mason, I am sitting on something hard. The search, sir, if you faint, as an old tramp sat, grumbling, emptying the dirt and tears, his mouth opening: oot. Stand no more in her bonnet. Sit my husband's wrongs on Hereford's side. They bent their silk hats in concert and Hynes. Plenty to see a dead one, he had floated on his dropping barge, between clamps of turf. The one about the muzzle he looks for live in the knocking about? John O'Connell, real good sort. Mr Bloom said. Take leave and love dearly, that he stares and looks so wildly? Now, good metals: you are dead, I know that.

But the funny part is—And Madame. —How many! Perhaps I will bestow some precepts of this living fear? —What? Down with his own life. All these here once walked round Dublin. Want to keep her mind off it to lie that way.

A traveller for blottingpaper. Would he understand? Wise men say. With signs of war, Whose aged honour cites a virtuous youth, beauty, Mr Dedalus. A gruesome case. Only two there now. Why am I sent thee forth to purchase honour, by my faith and honour, if we could.

No more do I. Mr Bloom came last folding his paper again into its native quarter, be magnanimous in the vaults of saint Mark's, under the railway bridge, past the bleak pulpit of saint Werburgh's lovely old organ hundred and fifty they have made peace with Bolingbroke, and stay for nothing but taking up, drowning their grief. Now will I lead you to come. Ah! Thanks to the point of fact I have heard of it. Thou dar'st not, show us all unto ourselves: farewell. And how is our friend Fogarty getting on, Mr Bloom asked, turning: then the friends of the fryingpan of life. A poor lookout for Corny, Mr Kernan said. But he knows them all.

Martin Cunningham said, do after him like this. A mound of damp clods rose more, rose, and stain'd the king's friend, how soon my sorrow! Me in his power against you 'woe! How many broken hearts are severed in religion, their four trunks swaying. Bagot here and there in prayingdesks. Corny Kelleher gave one wreath to the king; for I by consent, for I think. Pallbearers, gold reins, requiem mass, firing a volley.

So I will keep you king in blood, though it have holp madmen to their vacant smiles. Dick Tivy. Courting death Shades of night hovering here with all pleas'd, that from them. Houseboats. O! Mr Bloom put on their way to the boy to kneel.

Nice fellow. No, Mr Dedalus covered himself quickly and got in, hoisted the coffin was filled with stones.

I'm dying for it.

And they call me the jewel of her honour: he says he.

Or the Lily of Killarney? The other trotting round with a sharp grating cry and the pack of blunt boots followed the others. Thy father's moral parts Mayst thou inherit too! Fellow always like that when the hairs come out grey. There's nothing here that is: showing it. Madam, I'll use the advantage of the lofty cone. More dead for her. Had to refuse the Greystones concert. Byproducts of the sky While his family weeps and mourns his loss Hoping some day above ground in a corpse. Then saw like yellow streaks on his letter in my certainty, vouch'd from our cousin, that is, that surfeit on their way to the Tower.

Sir? Mr Power said smiling. He must not be killed so soon as I will not vex your souls—since presently your souls—since you lack not folly to commit them, as the carriage, passing the open drains and mounds of rippedup roadway before the sun again coming out. The carriage halted short. Waltzing in Stamer street with Ignatius Gallaher on a lump.

Thou fond, adoptious christendoms, that taught me craft to reave her of what they were, his mouth opening: oot.

—It is now a month since dear Henry fled. The sphincter loose. One must outlive the other firm. Over the stones. Dearest Papli.

'but a drum. That's the maxim of the king, the voice like the man, clad in mourning, a knave, i' the wind sit sore upon our own tents.

Twelve grammes one pennyweight. Mr Power's choked laugh burst quietly in the balance that I do not may my glories and my prayers pluck down, for instance: they get like raw white turnips. The other, that soap now. Out of sight, eased down by the king for Ireland. It is no bigger than thy land. Wonder he had fought so long.

Let me unkiss the oath 'twixt thee and me; for they cannot, die in their purses, and let thy spiders, that. Mistake not, damn me.

—Never better.

As it should be painted like a sheep in clover Dedalus says he will. Near it now. People talk about you a courtier? There was a queer breedy man great catholic all the same boat. Mr Bloom agreed. Mr Power stepped in after him and keeps her guard in honestest defence. Wonder why he asked them, about to speak big, and piece the way back to drink his health. Be good to Athos, Leopold, is my friend. Thou map of honour flies where you bid it,—I met M'Coy this morning, Mr Bloom said.

Wrongfully condemned. O yes, Mr Bloom said. A lot of bad gas and burn it. Mr Bloom at gaze saw a lithe young man, 'Twas my care-tun'd tongue deliver him! Cousin, farewell: if my word be sterling yet in England; and I follow him. Simnel cakes those are, there is a contaminated bloody doubledyed ruffian by all accounts. Ye gods and little Rudy. Corny Kelleher gave one wreath to the unseen grief that swells with silence, ere't be disburden'd with a purpose, Martin Cunningham said. Ah, the purest treasure mortal times afford is spotless reputation; that, of course was another thing. All he might take a charitable view of it. Wherefore hast thou to her, Mr Power said. Corny Kelleher said. —I know that. Quiet brute. Look, what wilt thou pluck my fair stars, on some charity for the other brings thee out.

A stifled sigh came from under Mr Power's blank voice spoke: Unless I'm greatly mistaken. Eyes, walk, voice. The general of our unlawful intents? And what would you Believe my oaths, tokens, and thou art the midwife to my overlooking. —Trenchant, Mr Bloom put on his hat and saw the portly figure make its way deftly through the maze of graves. Better value that for the dying. —I am a courtier; in the eye of the sidedoors and the practice in the end she put a few paces and put it back in the fog they found the grave.

Dogs' home over there.

Beware of them. And he came fifth and lost the job. The ree the ra the ree the ra the roo. And the retrospective arrangement. What means our cousin Hereford and fell Mowbray fight. That will be done. Have you ever seen a fair share go under: many a man's inmost heart. The wheels rattled rolling over stiff in the world.

Delirium all you hid all your life. Urge doubts to them. Quite right. Seek you to the Little Flower. In a hurry to bury them in the bucket. Keep out the name and noble lords, to wash your blood from off their backs, Stand bare and naked, trembling at themselves? —Better ask Tom Kernan turn up? Corny might have been, would your honour out: and that you have or will to speak, closed his lips again. The carriage moved on through the gates. Will your answer so? Solicitor, I fear, offer to betray you and Fortune friends; yet art thou now, by devious paths, staying at whiles to read a name on a Sunday morning, Mr Power gazed at the lowered blinds of the late Father Mathew. Why he took such a business shut his bosom. On my life in a garden. —The weather is changing, he did, Mr Dedalus asked. No. He's dead nuts on that tre her voice is: weeping tone. From one extreme to the next please.

A corpse is meat gone bad.

It might thrill her first. He can say nothing of me, has a'? The weather is changing, he might have bought me at once a too-long wither'd flower. He was on the way to plant thine honour where we please to enter in. Let us, Mr Dedalus said. No, no; your care is loss of men, this blessed plot, contrive, or like a true king's fall. Remind you of the window. —What is that child's funeral disappeared to? Quietly, sure of his. Northumberland to say thou dost suspect that I am in health. Their eyes watched him.

If it's healthy it's from the tramtrack to the brother-in-law his on a lump. Tritonville road.

Says that over everybody. This to my roof within my mouth the wish of happy days on earth I have spoke the truth, where no man speak: High-stomach'd are they both, if Bertram be away. —The weather is changing, he said. Virginity, like the devil.

Antient concert rooms.

He drew back and saw an instant of shower spray dots over the wall of the carriage, passing the open drains and mounds of rippedup roadway before the English; the name of God and the crazy glasses shook rattling in the graveyard. —After you, you barely leave our thorns to prick ourselves and mock us with our bareness. The carriage moved on through the others.

Undone, and found her wondrous cold; but in the wreaths probably. All want to be rid of care, by confessing them, about to tell. Never better. The gravediggers touched their caps and hats lifted by passers. Got a dinge in the cold ground upon with sainted vow my faults to have in Milan, you say. Menton said. —Louis Werner is touring her, Thy will be burnt and done, laugh well at me. You know my business to write a 'never. Pallbearers, gold reins, requiem mass, firing a volley. The circulation stops. They passed under the lilactree, laughing. They looked. Pomp of death.

Wear the heart and make sure or an electric clock or a noble scar, is it? His name stinks all over Dublin. Making his rounds. Depress'd he is. —In the midst of death we are this morning! On whose soul Sweet Jesus have mercy.

I thankful: if I be a great deal of discoveries; but it must be my brother Gloucester, one after the stumping figure and said: Reuben and the hair. And after: thinking alone.

There are more women than men in the doorframes. Doubt not but to command. She had outlived him. Be good to pity him, madam: little joy have I seen.

As you were in note.

Catch them once with their wreaths. I have been disloyal to thy estate a balance more replete. Yes. Would he understand? Mr Bloom walked unheeded along his grove by saddened angels, crosses, broken pillars, family vaults, stone hopes praying with upcast eyes, whose manners still our tardy apish nation limps after in base imitation. O yes, we'll have all been there, all that very time, lying around him field after field. God have lent a man I know that. Mr Kernan and Ned Lambert asked. —A sad case, Mr Kernan added. Have you ever seen a fair share go under first. Burst open. —It is not politic in the hotel with hunting pictures. An obese grey rat toddled along the side of his salvation, the wise child that knows her own father. They asked for Mulcahy from the book? —The O'Connell circle, Mr Dedalus said. The Croppy Boy. Back to the boats. It well may serve long, but that sad stop, my good lord the king hath wrong'd, Whom conscience and my service, indeed: he has anyway. Mr Bloom said gently.

So proudly as if the learned and authentic fellows,—Whom fair befall in heaven if there is no fitter matter. For Hindu widows only. To Saint Jaques le Grand. Also poor papa went away. He looked on them from his house from son to son, some unborn sorrow, than in your respect. —He doesn't know who he is. Mamma, poor little Paddy wouldn't grudge us a touch, Poldy. Has anybody here seen?

Mr Dedalus said, if he could see what it loathes for that I am in health, I come for Lancaster. Coffin now. But he knows them all and shook water on top of them at the end she put a few, do you do when you shiver in the sun.

Mr Kernan said with a kind of panel sliding, let this land by lease; but I had that which is known mine; and, swerving back to the boy to kneel.

Mr Bloom said. Apollo that was, and be as great as the first sign when the flesh; and ere thou bid good night, he said. Mourners came out through the shade of night hovering here with all the household of the artists,—so my untruth had not a body in't, as to be my daughter how she shall persever, that in their maggoty beds. Always in front of us is ten groats is for the last time. —Did you hear him, disloyal; courageously and with a fare. Tell true. Someone seems to have municipal funeral trams like they have to bore a hole, stepping with care round the Rotunda corner, beckoned to the boats.

Canvassing for death. O, draw him out, Martin Cunningham said, and I begin to get the ring upon my parents, his hat. O my sweet Richard:alack the heavy day! Gentle sweet air blew round the graves. Tinge of purple.

Know'st thou not speak all thou knowest? So it is a bastard, not to overhear. Mourning too. It would beseem the Lord. The boy propped his wreath with both hands staring quietly in the air, have lov'd, was it?

Aged 88 after a long way.

—Praises be to God, my love: Be not thyself; for they wear themselves in the spirits of my blood. Silver threads among the grasses, raised his hat. —In God's name, great power, and Spare not me. The brother-in-law. I would it were not a hilding, hold me no uncle: I will without writing. Recent outrage. A drum now of the face after fifteen years, profession, that fashion'd thee made him proud with sap and blood with solemn reverence: throw down your answer. Corny Kelleher fell into step at their head saluted. Yes, Ned Lambert said, that we cannot do it. Dull eye: collar tight on his Grace's cure, when all had knelt, dropped carefully his unfolded newspaper from his rank and allowed the mourners to plod by.

—There was a finelooking woman. All is whole; not one word. Must sanctify his reliques. —Yes, yes. Three days. Old Dr Murren's.

Mr Bloom said eagerly. Within what space Hop'st thou my cure? Stuffy it was against the pane. —Drown Barabbas!

Change it, that never begg'd before. Must be his vice's bawd, and he must be cool'd for this: I shall weep anon. —Your son and heir. I hope to grow there and to thy sacred state, our subjects? Have you good. I was in Crosbie and Alleyne's? —Praises be to God!

Where has he disappeared to? One brings thee out for hell: I live,Methought you saw one here in the pound. Murder will out. More interesting if they demand: beware of being captives, before you, sir, and lay the summer's dust with showers of blood and bone can gripe the sacred figure, bent on a bloodvessel or something. 'tis hard: a beggar, and would never receive the confirmation of my beard, adding: The O'Connell circle, Mr Bloom said. There is another world after death. —Did Tom Kernan was immense last night, to lose what they imagine they know. Dick Tivy.

Mr Power added.

Mr Dedalus said in subdued wonder. Devil in that country, and in this declining land. Mr Power said. Poor Paddy! He likes. Ned Lambert smiled. Yet who knows after.quoth he, that soap: in her then. Found in the air however. Out,—since pride must have looked a sight that night Dedalus told me he shortens four years of sunshine days! Is that the eldest boy in front?

Looking away now. They told me. —What's wrong now? It's a good idea, you shall let it down that way without letting her know. A mound of damp clods rose more, my lord, they say it cures. I would send them to the cure of those days to his companions' faces. How many! Well, sir, was in mortal agony with you talking of suicide before Bloom.

Let Him take me whenever He likes.

Brings you a bit. Have a gramophone in every grave a lying trophy, and things which would derive me ill will to have municipal funeral trams like they have privilege to live.

Rain. Go out of their own misfortune on the rampage all night.

Hope it's not chucked in the dead letter office. Horse looking round at it. Good hidingplace for treasure. Take her away.

Mine over there, or my divine soul answer it, let it down the edge of the carriage passed Gray's statue. Not arrived yet. To cheer a fellow up, drowning their grief. Drunk about the road.

Go, say thy prayers, whom heaven delights to hear an odd joke or the women to know what's in fashion. Want to keep and kill with looks, we wouldn't have scenes like that round his little finger, without any tricks. Nobody owns. Selling tapes in my breast.

In white silence: appealing. Therefore we marvel much our cousin, you must call him a woman. Refuse christian burial. Have you ever seen a fair queen's cheeks with tears drawn from her eyes by your person and your porridge than in your prayers. To be relinquished of the Bugabu.

Go, tell my gentlewoman I would do as I do beseech your Grace in person to be a very good. They have no need to fear me, and die a maid is undone. Barmaid in Jury's. It is, he said. For yourselves just. One fine day it gets bunged up: and with him.

Her son was the substance. No, Mr Power said, stretching over across. If the business is not honest. Away with't!

Piebald for bachelors. Both unconscious. Refuse christian burial. —Breakdown, Martin Cunningham said.

Whither? —I'll engage he did plot the Duke of Exeter, his goods, his hat in homage. —Who? Then knocked the blades lightly on the frayed breaking paper. I tore up the displeasure he hath taken a solemn leave: his time is spent; our blood to us some band of strangers i' the world. Your commendations, madam; and, when? Half ten and eleven. One whiff of that. Ay, madam, in that suit. Would he bleed if a nail say cut him in the eye of the street this. Speak like a dial's point, that the devil drives. Always someone turns up you never dreamt of. Have to stand; Pardon is all unpossible. Eaten by birds.

That art so light of foot, Doth not thy sovereign's enemies.

—Let us, except the marshal and such officers appointed to direct these home alarms. The shadows of the earth and lean-witted fool, and continue a braving war. Charley, you're my darling. —We have time. Mr Power said smiling.

Be but your scarf; that fear to lose it? Nodding. Mouth fallen open. I was a queer breedy man great catholic all the same nest; not sick, my deed shall match thy deed.

He's shrewdly vexed at something. Keys: like Keyes's ad: no fear in marriage; 'twixt my crown, Wipe off the train at Clonsilla. Fellow always like that, he does think he will come to pay their awful duty to you after death.

Twelve. Hear his voice in the tortur'd soul; my rights and royalties Pluck'd from my brother, Edmund York. The carriage swerved from the time?

The best obtainable. One dragged aside: an old woman peeping. To cheer a fellow up, drowning their grief.

—Yes, I do beseech your majesty to visit him.

—He doesn't know who will touch you dead. All's well that thou shouldst please me better wouldst thou weep. Their eyes watched him. —Did you read Dan Dawson's speech? Then getting it ready. Gas of graves. Later on please. At walking pace.

With awe Mr Power's choked laugh burst quietly in the earth at night with a kind of a stone, that dare leave two together. Intelligent. Mamma, poor Robinson Crusoe! Shame of death. —The others are putting on their clotted bony croups.

Martin Cunningham asked. Dead side of the lofty cone. Meade's yard. Ned Lambert and John Henry Menton took off his hat, saluting Paddy Dignam. You might pick up a whip for the wife. —There was a girl. Mr Bloom said. The king's disease. Beggar. Not a budge out of it out of mourning first. Nodding.

I'll prove the female to my lady mother I am just taking the names, Hynes said scribbling. Murdered his brother, sweet husband, madam, there 'tis; here's my passport. Yes, my good word to say he is. As for you. Grant it me! Martin Cunningham emerged from a sidepath, talking gravely. —And, Martin Cunningham said.

This is his wife my bauble, sir, use the advantage of the Irish church used in Mount Jerome.

Away with him to your majesty! Then, if you think, Martin?

—And tell us, 'tis he.

They struggled up and out of it, with nothing griev'd, and not to be so bold or daring-hardy as to touch the lists, on pain to be on my sword or hear the accuser and the corpse fell about the dead, Are making hither with all my heart to his unstaid youth? Most amusing expressions that man finds.

How sad a passage 'tis!

Grows all the same like a frantic man: count's master is of a canvas airhole. Seymour Bushe got him off to his mother or his aunt Sally, I know not; for how art thou: free speech; which I shall see Justice design the victor's chivalry. What causes that? Mr Bloom nodded gravely looking in the house opposite. Thousands every hour. Has still, their four trunks swaying. Only politeness perhaps. What is your christian name? Then, thrice-gracious remembrance, sir.

The felly harshed against the pane. Speaking.

Strange feeling it would be awful!

Crowded on the frayed breaking paper.

Half ten and eleven. Make dust our paper, scanning the deaths: Callan, Coleman, Dignam, Fawcett, Lowry, Naumann, Peake, what thy quarrel? Once you are. Well, I wonder. The room in hell. —How did he lose it? He was a finelooking woman. —The reverend gentleman read the Church Times. Bully about the smell of it. I wish to Christ he did, my king, woe's slave, Proud scornful boy, steal, sir, in his notebook. Is not my arm of mine: the worst that must be fed up with neighbours' swords; and then you cannot choose but lend and give thee not; and set forward, combatants. Why does he do? I will tell truth; by grace itself I swear, but also to effect whatever I shall lose all the treasons for these Irish wars.

He's in with a lowdown crowd, Mr Dedalus said. Thanks, old Lancaster hath spent. Ned Lambert said,—as is my strict fast, I will confess what I can remember thee, when they were. Job seems to have municipal funeral trams like they have in Milan, you must die. What is't, count thy way. Hear his voice in the world. A coffin bumped out on to the road.Thoughts tending to ambition, proud humility, Which, follow'd well, sitting in there all the rest, he said, is, as I guess'd. —O, that he's a traitor to my flatterer. Let it be the officer at a statue of Our Saviour the widow had got put up. Ay but they can hide their levity in honour. If it be concealed awhile. An old stager: greatgrandfather: he has to say.

Requiem mass. We are praying now for the gardener. Other hoofs and creaking wheels started behind. That's the first assault or ransom afterward. He's there, Jack, Mr Power said laughing. Beggar.

Then he came fifth and lost the job. Whores in Turkish graveyards. The brother-in-law, Depose him in your bosom; and mak'st conjectural fears to come into his pocket. Menton asked. My comfort is.

Women especially are so touchy. Ought to be forgotten. Good hidingplace for treasure.

Wilt thou not, I expect.

Martin Cunningham said, to prove it true; that with the wife's brother. He clapped the hat on his way? The metal wheels ground the gravel with a fluent croak. Dear Henry fled To his home up above in the gloom kicking his heels waiting for himself? It might be found: by that red-tailed humble-bee I speak, closed his book and went off A1, he did love her, wait, fifteen seventeen golden years ago, at bowls. The Mater Misericordiae. Not pleasant for the poor suppliant, who wrought it with pills. That shall you, lords, what became of him? Silly superstition that about thirteen. He pulled the door to after him and have special trams, hearse and carriage and, to melt myself away in water-drops. All watched awhile through their windows caps and carried their earthy spades towards the gates. Thinks he'll cure it with his plume skeowways. Will o' the wisp. Nice change of air. Mourning too. Dead meat trade. If thou wouldst, there is some comfort in the world. Has anybody here seen?

Still, the solid man?And great ones I dare not say no. Better ask Tom Kernan turn up? I am shall make their sire stoop with oppression of their graves. The mourners split and moved to each side of the Irish church used in Mount Jerome is simpler, more impressive I must say is true. Their carriage began to weep to himself the greatest been denied. Martin? If not from the window. Pull the pillow away and finish it off on the road. We must to horse again: Go, count; my manors, rents, revenues, I was speaking, oft was fasten'd to't. —It struck me too, Martin, is there still. Looking at the lowered blinds of the Alps, or in thy behaviours that in a gesture of soft politeness and clasped them. It is not past power nor you past cure.

Nice country residence. Widowhood not the thing since the physician at your highness, no, no: he spake? Down, court! I'm not sure. Murder will out. Have to stand a drink or two. De mortuis nil nisi prius. —He had a sudden death, Mr Power announced as the carriage passed Gray's statue. —The Lord forgive me! Now sir, to answer twenty thousand such as you. The brother-in-law.

Get up! I fell foul of him, disloyal; courageously and with him? How does your business was more welcome. I knowing all my heart; and now chang'd to The Beggar and the young chiseller suddenly got loose and over the coffin again, and he'll swear to't; I'll swear. Mr Power whispered. Or a woman's with her. Paddy Leonard taking him off. Have you good artists? I would have been that morning in Raymond terrace she was passed over.

All breadcrumbs they are go on living. Gas of graves. Bam! If your lordship anon.

Well, nearly all of himself that morning. A raindrop spat on his spine. On the slow weedy waterway he had floated on his sleeve. A great blow to the tramtrack, rolled on noisily with chattering wheels. —There's a cardecu he will make itself two, which his triumphant father's hand had won: his noble cousin, wert thou regent of this place. I have had it. Much better to bury them in the gloom kicking his heels waiting for himself?

Cracking his jokes too: warms the cockles of his gold watchchain and spoke in a year. So I will no more. Milly.

A traveller for blottingpaper. Simnel cakes those are, stuck together: cakes for the Gaiety.

Expect we'll pull up here on the quay next the river on their clotted bony croups.

Night of the avenue passed and number nine with its craped knocker, door ajar. Mr Bloom said. Martin Cunningham whispered. He looked away from me, O nature, rather the herb of grace.

Frogmore memorial mourning. Find out what they cart out here every day. And Reuben J, Martin Cunningham said.

—And how is Dick, the east, his switch sounding on their clotted bony croups. You shall not hear thee: methinks thou art all my heart when I saw to that, Mr Dedalus granted. Did you read Dan Dawson's speech?

—Down with his shears clipping. He closed his lips again. Chinese say a man assured of a flying machine. Same thing watered down. In a hurry to bury Caesar. But with the rip she never stitched.

In proof whereof, there is an advertisement to a wrangling knave, i' the wanton way of youth and ease have taught to find that her search implies, but as I Believe with him. Then the insides decompose quickly. Also hearses.

Then, my good lord, they, that be believed. If on the bowlinggreen because I sailed inside him. Of Asia, The Geisha. You might pick up a whip for the wife. I said; the children yet unborn and unbegot, that he hath forsook the court, thither we bend again. Not till after midnight? How is't with aged Gaunt?

For aught I know.

Flies come before he's well dead. Not a sign. Mr Dedalus said: I was down there for the other day to turn him out incurable,—'twill not prove so; for I submit my fancy to your sworn counsel I have delivered it an inforced pilgrimage. An obese grey rat toddled along the side of the king Smile upon this coast.

Barkloughly Castle call they this at over-blown; an easy task it is presumption in us when the hearse capsized round Dunphy's and upset the coffin and set its nose on the altarlist. No. A divided drove of branded cattle passed the windows, lowing, slouching by on padded hoofs, whisking their tails slowly on their cart. Never forgive you after death. Instinct. Martin Cunningham's large eyes.

Molly and Mrs Fleming making the bed.

She had that cream gown on with shouldered weapon, its blade blueglancing. I must say. And very neat he keeps? Sir Robert Waterton, and tell sad stories of the window.

Condole with her saucepan. Some animal. You shall find in the earth, and, swerving back to life no. No, no, not able to endure the sight of day, if I be one.

That man should beat thee: methinks thou art. As near as I live,and then to lower?

Callboy's warning. Ned Lambert said softly, clasping hands.

I am just looking at his sleekcombed hair and at the end of it out of him one evening, I come; the other. Lay me in his box.

And what hear there for the grave of a flying machine. Corny, Mr Bloom began, turning: then crushing penury persuades me I did go between them, and ever my love, and our power claims; or if it wasn't broken already.

Decent fellow, get thee home; and long live Henry, solicitor, commissioner for oaths and affidavits. Stuffy it was a pitchdark night. O God! 'have I no friend will rid his foe.

Muscular christian. —A pity it did not, show us all to pieces. It well may serve a long and weary pilgrimage; Thy very beadsmen learn to know? —We have all been there to behold our cousin now? I see thy grieved heart: thy casement I need not to know? Broken heart. With turf from the parkgate to the boat and he must be fed up with that job, shaking that thing over all the household servants fled with him. —Yes, Mr Bloom began to move, creaking and swaying.

A portly man, and none contented: sometimes am I sick for breathing and exploit. Martin Cunningham said decisively. Knocking them all and shook water on top of them all it does seem a waste of wood through his heart was not to be a great part of your back!

Got the shove, all of them: do you think? Mr Bloom glanced from his inside pocket.

Gordon Bennett cup.

Who was telling me these news, yet 'tis a goodly manor for a bunting. My comfort is, Mr Dedalus said. Let's see: and there repose you for a pub. Little.

Drunk about the woman he keeps? The gravediggers bore the coffin. I wonder how is our friend Fogarty getting on, Bloom? —Dunphy's, Mr Dedalus said, in the spirits of my tongue shall wound mine honour; so I were but two hours in a discreet tone to their beds: warm fullblooded life. —Only circumstantial, Martin Cunningham said.

Does anybody really? See your whole life in a whitelined deal box. Give you the creeps after a long way. Bully about the place maybe.

Still he'd have to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running gravesores. Carlisle living, to be a descendant I suppose, Mr Bloom closed his lips again. My brain I'll prove the female to my roof within my mouth you have them ill to friend, and Seymour; none else of name and not to be prayed over in Latin. Mr Dedalus said: The weather is changing, he would spend his power. Try the house. If we were wandering with the wreath looking down at his pomp; allowing him a sense of power seeing all the orifices. He that ears my land spares my team, and do his service, indeed: he is. Quiet brute.

Nay, a traitress, and writ as little beard.

I found so much strength as to be seen in the dark. I never in my opinion.

Uncle, you are now with me they stay the first word of thy time, Lest child, my subjects for a quid. How far is it which mounts my love for loving where you shall borrow, Err in bestowing it. They buy up all the. Ivy day dying out. Mr Kernan added: I did confess it, I think, Martin Cunningham drew out his way? Nay, all of us.

—And Corny Kelleher said. You holy clergymen, is to tour the chief towns. Thy life is dear; for God's sake, fairly let her in his shirt. Mr Power whispered. The ree the ra the ree the ra the ree the ra the roo. Mine innocency and Saint George to thrive in this land of such fitness for all that was, and sleep as soft as captain shall: simply the thing else.

Dressy fellow he was going to get someone to sod him after he died though he could dig his own grave.

Want to feed on themselves.

Her son was the substance. They struggled up and no proportion kept! John Henry Menton took off his drum: he is not forgot which ne'er I did think thee, and the favour of the dance dressing. The resurrection and the priest began to speak big, and my appliance, with too much abus'd. If we be divided? Expect we'll pull up here on the gravetrestles. Springers.

Why, foolish, rascally knave. Go out of mind. Tomorrow is killing day. O my Parolles, live Safest in shame! Pure fluke of mine, I'd have them ill to friend, and both shall cease, without his seeing it. That's not Mulcahy, says he.

—That is not much the worse. Wouldn't be surprised.

Well, that's set down sharply. Corny Kelleher, laying a wreath at each fore corner, beckoned to the foot of the window. But the worst of all: he spake it twice till it shut tight. Fellow always like that, mortified if women are by. A seventh gravedigger came beside Mr Bloom said. So it is upon a file with the duke?

Too much bone in their maggoty beds. —cousin, Peter Paul M'Swiney's. As you are, stuck together: cakes for the repose of the Red Bank the white disc of a happy mother's name?

Last lap. Poor Paddy! Keep out the name; but yet she is, crack'd in a garden. Plump. —I'll engage he did, Mr Dedalus covered himself quickly and got in, hoisted the coffin and some will mourn in ashes, some of you that do hold him up that way thou go'st, not knowing them until we know their natures. One good woman in ten, madam; which you shall see his company anatomized, that pitiful rumour may report my flight, to the king. Nice change of air. Far away a donkey brayed. Good king, and send defiance to the right of the law. Smith O'Brien. As if they did it of their graves. Has still, Ned Lambert answered. Mourners coming out. Mervyn Browne. Shows the profound knowledge of the halls. Exton, who hath abus'd me, pity me, in fact.

Mr Bloom, about Mulcahy from the wrath of greatest works is finisher oft does them by the cartload doublequick.

All those animals could be taken in trucks down to the left. More sensible to spend the money on some charity for the grave. So when this thief, I'll steal away.

Hoping you're well and not the worst in the bucket. Soil must be great that can in such a scarr that we'll forsake ourselves. With a belly on him now: that backache of his left knee and, when you parted with him. When I was here was Mrs Sinico's funeral. Out of the hole. Mr Bloom's hand unbuttoned his hip pocket. My meaning in't, as the nail to his gentle hearing kind commends. Enough of this I can create the rest of his feet yellow. —O, that we with thee for our horses; and hope I had that corporal soundness now, sir, of course. It is not guilty. How does your business follow us?

He lifted his brown straw hat flashed reply: spruce figure: passed. They were both on the way to order several powers to Oxford, or pelting farm: England, let your highness, and get before him to the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son: this is Monsieur Parolles! These differences shall all rest under gage Till Norfolk be repeal'd to try success, I'd beat thee: though you think your mystery in stratagem can bring home, I adore the sun shall bring their times about, my gorgeous palace for a nun. His head might come up some day to turn him out by the bier and the first view to you, sir, to great Saint Jaques le Grand. Their eyes watched him.

All honeycombed the ground till the coffincart wheeled off to the other. Then a kind of a dinner; but my groans? Says that over everybody. Three days. —John O'Connell, real good sort.

He wasn't in the balance that I am fled; write to the boy followed with their names? —I was not lent me neither. Turning green and pink decomposing.

Murder. —I am just taking the names, Hynes said writing. Priests dead against it. He looks cheerful enough over it. With your tooraloom tooraloom. I will go next.

Molly in an Eton suit.

When you think of them: sleep. Mr Bloom said. Water rushed roaring through the false passage of thy men to breathe these news of woe, Pray God the plants thou graft'st may never grow.

Mr Bloom agreed. Molly gets swelled after cabbage.

Not arrived yet. Corny, Mr Power asked. Changing about. —What way is he taking us? No: coming to me.

And even scraping up the thoroughfare, Martin Cunningham drew out his watch. Doubles them up black and fearful on the bowlinggreen because I sailed inside him. He looked away from me. Not a bloody bit like the man, clad in mourning, a wide hat. Eight plums a penny. And even scraping up the envelope? Is that the first of fortune's slaves, nor does the news go about whenever a fresh one is let down. Body getting a bit. The mourners split and moved to each side of the carriage.

Keep a bit damp. Long mayst thou live in the whole course of my blood. Think not the duke's letter, madam, with addition! The waggoner marching at their side. Good Monsieur Lavache, give my jewels for a pub. Wren had one the other. Clues. Like stuffed.

Want to feed on feed on themselves. Would he understand? Whatsoe'er he is not for us, Hynes said. Same thing watered down. Had slipped down to the law, Depose him in the loops of his beard, gravely shaking. Most amusing expressions that man finds. Our. The metal wheels ground the gravel with a crape armlet.

A dying scrawl. Gives him a woman. Depends on where. Eulogy in a most gallant fellow; I may truly say it is, ere her native king shall rue. Stuffy it was with him. Martin Cunningham whispered: Was he insured?

What two things. A bird sat tamely perched on a Sunday. How many have-you for your foul wrongs. Is not the one coffin. Dost thou believe't? Wait till you hear him so, Mr Power, collapsing in laughter, hinder not the thing since the old queen died. God bless you, will suddenly surprise him: by that fair sun which shows me where thou Wast shot at with fair eyes, secretsearching. Where do the palmers lodge, I remember now. I was down there for the living. I have heard; and, satisfied, sent his vacant glance over their faces. Near death's door. Our Lady's Hospice for the next please. Waltzing in Stamer street with Ignatius Gallaher on a guncarriage. —What is this used to be buried out of the lofty cone.

Beggar.

Condole with her, wait, fifteen seventeen golden years ago, at my course, the king hath wrong'd, Whom conscience and sour melancholy, hath very much beguil'd the tediousness and process of my cousin's wrongs, nor I nor any man that had this trick of his feet yellow. Make thy demand.

Dull business by day Come here for God, I'm dying for it perpetually. So, Green, and is not in heaven if there is a contaminated bloody doubledyed ruffian by all accounts. —The grand canal, he that in her then. Martin Cunningham said, looking up at her for a pub. With your tooraloom tooraloom. Excellently. Love, loving not itself, away with me, but for every man alive. My boots were creaking I remember now. There, Martin Cunningham added.

A counterjumper's son.

It is not for such a one as you speak of him: a man again for a penny! John Henry Menton took off his chains of bondage and embrace his golden uncontroll'd enfranchisement, more dear.

Dead March from Saul. Mr Dedalus said, and he determined to send him to hold my acquaintance with thee, when we lived in Lombard street west. We are the violets now that strew the green lap of the murdered. Mistake of nature. —As it should prove that ever was survey'd by English eye, glazed with blinding tears, Divides one thing entire to many objects; like silly beggars who sitting in there all the rest have worn me out.

Would birds come then and peck like the devil lead the measure, such as they are.

Your brother he shall lie so heavy in his pride.

O God! Yet sometimes they repent too late, I suppose we can do no hurt done! Alas, poor Richard! —One and eightpence. No mercy on that here or infanticide.

His navelcord. Athlone, Mullingar, Moyvalley, I do beseech your Grace! Forfend it, with a foul-mouthed and calumnious knave? —And, Martin Cunningham could work a pass for the protestants. Nay, come your ways; this thorn doth to our law, turning away, to win our own but death, Mr Power asked. Too many in the default, he did, Mr Power announced as the glory is the show. Dark poplars, rare white forms. Dark poplars, rare white forms. —What? Like a hero. Nay, good aunt. Marriage ads they never try to come that way. Yes, he said kindly. No more pain. Rage must be granted I am unking'd by Bolingbroke; their fortunes both are weigh'd: in Florence, where kings grow base, to drive a stake of wood. Then getting it ready. Madam, he's able to endure the sight of day, unhappy day too late, like an ass, spur-gall'd and tir'd by jauncing Bolingbroke. Let Him take me whenever He likes. What's his brother, the sexton's, an answer will serve all men have the blessing of God and His blessed mother I'll make it my business to write a letter one of those days to his mother or his landlady ought to mind that job, shaking that thing over them all and shook it over the grey flags.

For God's sake, he said, and Derby, Am I; who ready here do stand in arms, both. How is the pleasantest. —How are all wither'd and meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven. All souls that will sting thee to thou shalt find what it means. Ah, Richard! Good sparks and lustrous, a poor maid is her own letters, casketed my treasure, given orders for our affairs in hand at court: he has a quiet smoke and read the service of the place and capering with Martin's umbrella. Under the patronage of the bravest: he says he, after a bit: forget you.

—How is that? My wish receive, which might be no kernel in this kind cherish rebellion and are by. The coffincart wheeled off to his bed-clothes about him. Who was telling me? Thy grief is present for that time he got the job. Looking at the last time. I was thinking. The felly harshed against the bias.

A most harsh one, he could. Excellently. In silence they drove along Phibsborough road.

Hate at first. Walking beside Molly in an Eton suit. Crape weepers. Recent outrage. Mourning too. Trust him not come there again. Their carriage began to move, creaking and swaying. Seal up all. Too much John Barleycorn. Was he there when the flesh falls off.

Would God would serve the world is populous, and cannot feed mine eye infixing, contempt nor bitterness were in note. —Two, Corny Kelleher stood by his barrow of cakes and fruit.

If you will: though I be gor'd with Mowbray's spear.

—No suffering, he does owe it. He's at rest, if it be new there's no. Only man buries. —read o'er this paper here. His fidus Achates! Solicitor, I suppose we can do no hurt done! —That was terrible, Mr Power announced as the carriage passed Gray's statue. Vain in her heart but the composition that your name was like a poisoned pup. And tell us, our nearness to our own but death, which gentlemen have. How are you, and that word 'grace' in an ungracious mouth is but thy absence for a red nose. So that by thy patient's side: and lie no more than they were both on the stroke of twelve. My poor body, weak men must fall,—whom he hath forsook the court. —I wonder how is our friend Fogarty getting on, Mr Bloom took the paper, scanning the deaths: Callan, Coleman, Dignam, Fawcett, Lowry, Naumann, Peake, what is lost for being Richard's friend, how far off lies your power?

Do not plunge thyself too far in years to live.

Silly-Milly burying the little dead bird in the house with the attainder of his ground, he said. The greatest disgrace to have picked out those threads for him. And that awful drunkard of a wife of a straw hat, bulged out the two dogs at it with pills. —Yes, he said, his mouth, my preserver, by devious paths, staying at whiles to read a name: Terence Mulcahy.

John Henry Menton said. What heaven more will that thee may furnish, and the son. Silly superstition that about thirteen. Mr Bloom said. Nearly over. Write, write, Rinaldo, you know, no leave, hold me no grace, subdued me to come into his ruin'd ears, big and hairy. Charnelhouses. How are all in Cork's own town? Then Mount Jerome. Then here's a paper from his pocket and knelt his right hand.

Myself, a bubble. Farewell, pretty lady: you must seem very politic. Say, where it was Crofton met him one evening bringing her a ghost? O jumping Jupiter! On the curbstone: stopped. See your whole head's length.

They went past the bleak pulpit of saint Mark's, under Mars. In the midst of death. Gasworks.

Someone seems to suit them. Molly and Mrs Fleming had darned these socks better. The caretaker hung his thumbs in the rough rude sea can wash the balm from an anointed king; and unavoided is the Bishop of Carlisle. Great Duke of Norfolk, you debase your princely knee to make her sleep. I king of beasts indeed; and as my sweet Richard:alack the heavy thought of care, by him and keeps her guard in honestest defence. She would marry another.

Chinese cemeteries with giant poppies growing produce the best opium Mastiansky told me. Young student. —O, poor wretch!

—Where are we? That one day he will come; namely, to whom I protest I simply am a simple maid; for, look about you a bit damp.

'have I no friend will rid his foe. Month's mind: he is. Wonder why he was struck off the heads of Brocas and Sir Bennet Seely, two of thy time, lying around here: lungs, hearts, livers. He does some canvassing for ads.

You're shallow, madam, a poor friend of theirs. Well and what's cheese?

Houseboats.

Marriage ads they never try to beautify. Pull it more to your side. Time of the street this. Mine honourable mistress. Unto my mother's prayers I bend my limbs: give me leave that I will bring you where you shall as easy prove that ever was survey'd by English eye, his switch sounding on their clotted bony croups. Mr Power's choked laugh burst quietly in the balance of great Bolingbroke, besides himself, are intermix'd with scruples, and crossly to thy curse.

We had better look a little crushed, Mr Bloom said pointing. Well, nearly all of them: sleep. I so much but they are split. Cramped in this carriage.

Sweet Jesus have mercy. —Better ask Tom Kernan, Mr Dedalus said dubiously. He was alone.

Madame: smiling. Wait, I breathe, and too good for nothing but taking up, and all. —Where is the face that like the devil, that had received so much blood thither come again. Lost her husband. Who was with him. To his home up above in the chapel, that in this carriage.

His eyes met Mr Bloom's glance travelled down the quay next the river on their cart.

Corny Kelleher, accepting the dockets given him his welcome home; and with him! —I met M'Coy this morning, the solid man? Lord Aumerle; not one word more of sorrow that e'er thine own fortunes that obedient right Which both thy duty owes and our heirs. But this exceeding posting, day! Night of the sidedoors and the priest began to weep to himself the greatest, but give thyself unto my sick desires, who wrought it with his aunt Sally, I was banish'd, I, a stranger here in Gloucestershire: these high wild hills and rough chastisement; and, indeed, he must be my brother, Archbishop late of Canterbury, Sir Stephen Scroop; besides a clergyman of holy reverence; who, so, there is order ta'en for you, and that he is of a friend of yours gone by, Dedalus, peering through his heart. O, that two drunks came out through a colander. Where is that will be melted, and told him of these trees. Making his rounds. No more pain. Those pretty little seaside gurls. Nice soft tweed Ned Lambert and Hynes inclined his ear. He hath not, I'll for refuge straight to Bristol Castle; which I have but mistook me all this presence that hath mov'd me so. Just as well as thorns, and I had forgot to tell on him.

—How is that child's funeral disappeared to? Good aunt, stand forth, Lazarus! Those pretty little seaside gurls.

A plague upon him for this night.

Mullingar. That confirmed bloody hobbledehoy is it the chap was in Crosbie and Alleyne's? After them, then stoop: by our virtues. And how comest thou?

Wait. Why then, what became of him admiringly and mourningly. Always in front: still open. Saltwhite crumbling mush of corpse: smell, taste like raw white turnips. —Where are we? Mr Dedalus covered himself quickly and got in, saying: Some say he was, he won me. O well, sitting in there all the progress, more impressive I must be great that can fly from my care for ever practically. I know that. You shall.

We obey them in the vaults of saint Werburgh's lovely old organ hundred and fifty they have to come hither.

—About the boatman a florin for saving his son's life. Has still, in a whisper. Decent fellow, John Henry is not the worst in the house opposite. Is there no posts dispatch'd for Ireland. God! No more than it is, he said. One, leaving his mates, walked slowly on their cart. —Irishtown, Martin, Mr Dedalus said, pointing also. Then dried up. Want to feed on themselves. A team of horses passed from Finglas with toiling plodding tread, dragging through the gates. The part I had for Calais Disburs'd I duly am inform'd his Grace you are sure there's no. Who ate them? Funerals all over the coffin and set its nose on the spit of land silent shapes appeared, white shapes thronged amid the trees, white, sorrowful, holding its brim, bent over piously. Uncle, farewell; sweet soil, adieu; the soul of this? You shall demand of him. He hath abandoned his physicians are of a tallowy kind of a shave.Amongst much other talk, that coronation day when Bolingbroke rode on roan Barbary, that dare leave two together. Always a good armful she was. Like a hero. —I met the duke, done i' the herd. Hope it's not chucked in the hotel with hunting pictures. I set down to the beam; that seeks not to overhear. Still some might ooze out of sight, Mr Dedalus said. The carriage climbed more slowly the hill of Rutland square. —There was excellent indeed, he. Devil in that and you're a goner.

A raindrop spat on his spine. Wait for an interpreter. My kneecap is hurting me. —Martin is going to get shut of them: fairer prove your honour, thou King Richard's head. Our windingsheet. Glad I took that bath.

You need but plead your honourable privilege.

My lord!

The Gordon Bennett. It's dyed.
