Ghosts Films
It’s October! The month in which I watch even more horror movies than usual. Each year I tend to have a theme to help narrow down what to watch. So far I’ve done Zombie Films, Werewolf Films, Vampire Films and Slasher Films. This year’s theme will be the paranormal, specifically Ghosts.
The thing about me is that I’m not really phase by a lot of horror movies. They don’t scare me unless it’s a stupid jump scare which is more of a knee-jerk reaction of something unexpected. But the very few movies that have manage to get to me are those centered around hauntings. Even worst if they’re base on a true story.
I’m pretty excited to dive into this since I’m usually reluctant to watch them in the first place. I’m focusing only on films that I haven’t ever seen before, even if they’ll been out for years. This isn’t in any particular order either.
1408 (2007) -- is an American psychological horror film based on Stephen King's 1999 short story of the same name. It is directed by Mikael Håfström and stars John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. The film follows Mike Enslin, an author who investigates allegedly haunted houses and rents the titular room 1408 at a New York City hotel. Although skeptical of the paranormal, he is soon trapped in the room where he experiences bizarre events.
It's a simple, but an effective thriller and this horror is definitely more psychological than scary. I enjoyed it and thought it was a neat concept because it does something different than the usual ‘oh, look it’s a scary ghost’ that most horror movies do.
The Innkeepers (2011) -- is an American supernatural horror film written, directed and edited by Ti West. It stars Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, and Kelly McGillis. Its plot follows two employees at the Yankee Pedlar Inn who, during its last weekend of operations, attempt to document the alleged supernatural activity in the building.
It’s fine. I like the atmosphere, but it’s very slow paced and the horror is too low key for me to find it all that scary. It is nice to see a film that isn’t all about gore, special effects, and trying to scare you constantly, but it’s just not for me. Some people may like this. Just beware that there is a few loud-noise jump scares if you’re using headphones or earphones. I really hated it when the audio unexpectedly gets loud enough to cause physical discomfort.
The Canal (2014) -- is an Irish horror film that was directed and written by Ivan Kavanagh. The film stars Rupert Evans as a father investigating a horrific murder that took place in his home in the early 1900s.
It’s okay, nothing groundbreaking though. I liked the pacing and the atmosphere, but I found it very predictable. That’s because there's only so many directions that a horror film like this can go in. Is it an evil entity possession? Mental illness? Is it an actual monster or person behind it?
Even if It’s predictable, if the story is done well enough it should leave you with a sense of dread and goosebumps at not knowing for sure which is it. Unfortunely, this film didn’t invoke any dread, goosebumps or fear in me. It’s just an okay film.
Don’t Listen (2020) -- is also known as Voces is a Spanish supernatural horror film directed by Ángel Gómez Hernández. The movie follows a man who after the inexplicable death of his young son in their new home begins to experience ghostly phenomena, prompting him to seek the help of a paranormal expert.
Well, there’s two reasons I picked this movie. I want to expand my horror palette by watching more foreign movies. And I’m also trying to learn Spanish. I’m happy to report that I was able to understand half of it without relying too much on the English subtitles.
It’s good, but it didn’t scare me. I went into this expecting one thing and it turned out to be something else. That’s not a bad thing. I just don’t know whether to still include this in the list or not. I suppose me saying that is a hint in itself that’s not entire what you think it is..
Also, as a heads up because it caught me off guard. There’s several cats seen dead. You don’t see how it happens, just that they’re all hanging gruesomely from a tree around the 53 minute mark.
We Are Still Here (2015) -- is an American horror film written and directed by Ted Geoghegan and starring Andrew Sensenig and Barbara Crampton as grieving parents who find themselves the focus of an attack by vengeful spirits.
It’s great! The film didn’t waste any time and dive right into the spooks. It’s not scary for me, but it was still fun and entertaining to watch.
Housebound (2014) -- is a New Zealand horror comedy film written, edited, and directed by Gerard Johnstone. It is his feature film directorial debut. The film stars Morgana O'Reilly as a woman sentenced to house arrest in a potentially haunted house.
It’s great! It’s a perfect mixed of horror and comedy. I had fun watching it and would definitely recommend, especially when you want something that’s not so heavy on the horror.
The Devil's Backbone (2001) -- is also known as El Espinazo del Diablo is a Spanish gothic horror film directed by Guillermo del Toro, and written by del Toro, David Muñoz, and Antonio Trashorras. The film is set in Spain, 1939, during the final year of the Spanish Civil War.
After losing his father, 10-year-old Carlos arrives at the Santa Lucia School, which shelters orphans of the Republican militia and politicians, and is taken in by the steely headmistress, Carmen, and the kindly professor, Casares. Soon after his arrival, Carlos has a run-in with the violent caretaker, Jacinto. Gradually, Carlos uncovers the secrets of the school, including the youthful ghost that wanders the grounds.
It’s more sad than frightening. Sure, it’s advertise as a horror movie, but it’s actually a melodrama. There’s still ghost(s), but they’re not the main focus point. I’ve heard that this film is a spiritual companion piece to his Oscar-winning Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and I can see why.
It shares similar themes and is also set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War, a brutal conflict that turned ordinary men into monsters. The Devil’s Backbone is great, but I prefer Pan’s Labyrinth a whole lot more because I feel like it goes to a another level.
The Cellar (2022) -- is an Irish-Belgian supernatural horror film written and directed by Brendan Muldowney and starring Elisha Cuthbert and Eoin Macken. It follows a family whose daughter disappears in the cellar of the large estate they have just moved into.
I enjoyed it! At first I thought it was going be a typical haunted house story with maybe a demonic possession thrown in. But no, it pleasantly surprised me by going in another direction and I wasn’t expecting it at all: cosmic horror.
When it hit that point, it got me so excited and I was like yiss. I wanna know more. Some of my excitement fizzed out when the other layer was revealed, but not enough to ruin the whole thing.
I’m surprised there aren’t more people talking about this movie. So I looked it up and I don’t know why the critics are being so harsh on it with their ratings and reviews. It’s not 2-stars or trash. I’ve seen terrible films and this isn’t it. It’s not perfect. There are some parts that could’ve have been trimmed down, removed or improved upon, but for being filmed during COVID, in which wearing mask, social distancing and quarantine was in full effect, it turned out pretty decent.
Give the film some slack. They made do with the situation, their low-budget and time constraints. Oh, I didn’t find it scary, but I still enjoyed it. It’s not everyday I get surprised with elements of cosmic horror in a film.
His House (2020) -- is an British horror thriller film written and directed by Remi Weekes from a story by Felicity Evans and Toby Venables. It stars Wunmi Mosaku, Sope Dirisu and Matt Smith. The film tells the story of a refugee couple from South Sudan, struggling to adjust to their new life in an English town that has an evil lurking beneath the surface.
It’s definitely not a 'scary' movie by any means, but it effectively uses elements of horror. I still very much enjoyed it! It’s a multi-layered horror film that’s not just about a haunted house. It takes you on an interesting journey about grief, guilt, immigrant experience and the on-going refugee crisis. It’s a really well-done film and with great performances from Mosaku and Dirisu. I would recommend!
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) -- is an American supernatural horror film produced by Gold Circle Films and directed by Peter Cornwell. The film is alleged to be about Carmen Snedeker and her family, though Ray Garton, author of In a Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting (1992), has publicly distanced himself from the accuracy of the events he depicted in the book.
The film's story follows the fictional Campbells as they move into a house (a former mortuary) to mitigate the strains of travel on their cancer-stricken son, Matt. The family soon becomes haunted by violent and traumatic events from supernatural forces occupying the house.
Eh, it’s okay. Throughout the entire movie I kept getting the sense that it was familiar. I was drawing a blank, but it wasn’t until halfway into movie that I remembered it.
This is the problem with including older movies onto my watch list and not keeping track of what I’ve seen already. If it's terrible, boring, or doesn’t bring something new to the genre. I will forget it.
Also, this is one of those movies where you have to constantly adjust the volume. I really hate it when the dialogue is super low, so you increase it only for the loud jump scare noise to nearly blast your ears out.
Note: What’s interesting is I went into this thinking I’m going to be scared, only to realize that none of these movies have managed to do so. I don’t know if it’s because I got a higher tolerance to spooky things now or if it’s because I’ve seen everything and it’s hard to be scared of something when you know what’s going to happen next (or can correctly predict it).

WHO origin report leaves many questions unanswered
WASHINGTON, March 30, (Agencies): A joint World Health Organization- China study on the origins of COVID-19 says that transmission of the virus from bats to humans through another animal is the most likely leak scenario and that a lab is “extremely unlikely, ”according to a draft copy obtained by The Associated Press. The findings offer little new insight into how the virus first emerged and leave many questions unanswered, though that was as expected. But the report does provide more detail on the reasoning behind the researchers' conclusions.
Marion Koopmans (R) and Peter Ben Embarek (C) of the World Health Organization team say farewell to their Chinese counterpart Liang Wannian (L) after a WHO-China Joint Study Press Conference at the end of the WHO mission in Wuhan, China, Feb. 9, 2021.
The team proposed further research in every area except the lab leak hypothesis - a speculative theory that was promoted by former US President Donald Trump among others. It also said the role played by a seafood market where human cases were first identified was uncertain. The report, which is expected to be made public Tuesday, is being closely watched since discovering the origins of the virus could help scientists prevent future pandemics - but it's also extremely sensitive since China bristles at any suggestion that it is to blame for the current one .
Information Matthew Kavanagh of Georgetown University said the report deepened the understanding of the virus's origins, but more information was needed. “It is clear that that the Chinese government has not provided all the data needed and, until they do, firmer conclusions will be difficult,” he said in a statement. Last year, an AP investigation found the Chinese government was strictly controlling all research into its origins. And repeated delays in the report's release have raised questions about whether the Chinese side was trying to skew its conclusions. “We've got real concerns about the methodology and the process that went into that report, including the fact that the government in Beijing apparently helped to write it,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a recent CNN interview.
China rejected that criticism Monday. “The US has been speaking out on the report. By doing this, isn't the US trying to exert political pressure on the members of the WHO expert group? ” asked Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian. Still, suspicion of China has helped fuel the theory that the virus escaped from a lab in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the virus was first identified. The report cited several reasons for all but dismissing that possibility.
Transmission It said that such laboratory accidents are rare and the labs in Wuhan working on coronaviruses and vaccines are well-managed. It is also noted that there is no record of viruses closely related to the coronavirus in any laboratory before December 2019 and that the risk of accidentally growing the virus was extremely low. The report is based largely on a visit by a WHO team of international experts to Wuhan. The mission was never meant to identify the exact natural source of the virus, an endeavor that typical takes years. For instance, more than 40 years of study has still failed to pinpoint the exact species of bat that are the natural reservoir of Ebola. In the draft obtained by the AP, the researchers listed four scenarios in order of likelihood for the emergence of the new coronavirus. Topping the list was transmission from bats through another animal, which they said was likely to very likely. They evaluated direct spread from bats to humans as likely, and said that spread to humans from the packaging of "cold-chain" food products was possible but not likely. That last possibility was previously dismissed by the WHO and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but researchers on this mission have taken it up again, further raising questions about the politicization of the study since China has long pushed the theory. Bats are known to carry coronaviruses and, in fact, the closest relative of the virus that causes COVID-19 has been found in bats. However, the report says that “the evolutionary distance between these bat viruses and (COVID-19) is estimated to be several decades, suggesting a missing link." It said highly similar viruses have been found in pangolins, which are another kind of mammal, but scientists have yet to identify the same coronavirus in animals that has been infecting humans.
Clusters The AP received the draft copy on Monday from a Geneva-based diplomat from a WHO-member country. It wasn't clear whether the report might still be changed prior to release, though the diplomat said it was the final version. A second diplomat confirmed getting the report too. Both refused to be identified because they were not authorized to release it ahead of publication. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus acknowledged that he had received the report over the weekend and said it would be formally presented Tuesday.
“All hypotheses are on the table and warrant complete and further studies from what I have seen so far,” he said at a news conference. The report is inconclusive on whether the outbreak started at a Wuhan seafood market that had one of the earliest clusters of cases in December 2019. Research published last year in the journal Lancet suggested the market may have merely served to further spread the disease rather than being its source. The market was an early suspect because some stalls sold a range of unusual animals - and some wondered if they had brought the new virus to Wuhan. The report noted that animal products - including everything from bamboo rats to deer, often frozen - were sold at the market, as were live crocodiles. As the virus spread globally, China found samples of it on the packaging of frozen food coming into the country and, in some cases, have tracked localized outbreaks to them - but has never published convincing data to prove that link

Possessed by the demons of Jealousy and False Hope, he has always lived for a single purpose: destroy everything. Then he met her. Former demon turned human femme fatale — Legion Honey -- sought to kill Galen, but ended up parting with her virginity instead. Afraid of their sizzling connection, she ran away…and ended up trapped in hell, tortured and abused in the worst of ways. Now she’s free, and a shell of herself, afraid of her own shadow. Galen's hunger for Legion has only grown. Now the warrior with nothing to lose must help her rekindle the fire that once burned inside her.

Prevalence of cervical disease at age 20 after immunisation with bivalent HPV vaccine at age 12-13 in Scotland: retrospective population study.
Related Articles Prevalence of cervical disease at age 20 after immunisation with bivalent HPV vaccine at age 12-13 in Scotland: retrospective population study. BMJ. 2019 Apr 03;365:l1161 Authors: Palmer T, Wallace L, Pollock KG, Cuschieri K, Robertson C, Kavanagh K, Cruickshank M Abstract OBJECTIVE: To quantify the effect on cervical disease at age 20 years of immunisation with bivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine at age 12-13 years. DESIGN: Retrospective population study, 1988-96. SETTING: National vaccination and cervical screening programmes in Scotland. PARTICIPANTS: 138 692 women born between 1 January 1988 and 5 June 1996 and who had a smear test result recorded at age 20. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effect of vaccination on cytology results and associated histological diagnoses from first year of screening (while aged 20), calculated using logistic regression. RESULTS: 138 692 records were retrieved. Compared with unvaccinated women born in 1988, vaccinated women born in 1995 and 1996 showed an 89% reduction (95% confidence interval 81% to 94%) in prevalent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 3 or worse (from 0.59% (0.48% to 0.71%) to 0.06% (0.04% to 0.11%)), an 88% reduction (83% to 92%) in CIN grade 2 or worse (from 1.44% (1.28% to 1.63%) to 0.17% (0.12% to 0.24%)), and a 79% reduction (69% to 86%) in CIN grade 1 (from 0.69% (0.58% to 0.63%) to 0.15% (0.10% to 0.21%)). Younger age at immunisation was associated with increasing vaccine effectiveness: 86% (75% to 92%) for CIN grade 3 or worse for women vaccinated at age 12-13 compared with 51% (28% to 66%) for women vaccinated at age 17. Evidence of herd protection against high grade cervical disease was found in unvaccinated girls in the 1995 and 1996 cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Routine vaccination of girls aged 12-13 years with the bivalent HPV vaccine in Scotland has led to a dramatic reduction in preinvasive cervical disease. Evidence of clinically relevant herd protection is apparent in unvaccinated women. These data are consistent with the reduced prevalence of high risk HPV in Scotland. The bivalent vaccine is confirmed as being highly effective vaccine and should greatly reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. The findings will need to be considered by cervical cancer prevention programmes worldwide. PMID: 30944092 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] http://dlvr.it/R2w6wD

Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 66: Targeting Proteotoxic Stress in Cancer: A Review of the Role that Protein Quality Control Pathways Play in Oncogenesis
Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 66: Targeting Proteotoxic Stress in Cancer: A Review of the Role that Protein Quality Control Pathways Play in Oncogenesis
Cancers doi: 10.3390/cancers11010066
Authors: Matthew Ho Zhi Guang Emma L. Kavanagh Luke Paul Dunne Paul Dowling Li Zhang Sinéad Lindsay Despina Bazou Chia Yin Goh Cathal Hanley Giada Bianchi Kenneth C. Anderson Peter O’Gorman Amanda McCann
Despite significant advances in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics the majority of cancer unfortunately remains incurable, which has led to continued research to better understand its exceptionally diverse biology. As a result of genomic instability, cancer cells typically have elevated proteotoxic stress. Recent appreciation of this functional link between the two secondary hallmarks of cancer: aneuploidy (oxidative stress) and proteotoxic stress, has therefore led to the development of new anticancer therapies targeting this emerging “Achilles heel” of malignancy. This review highlights the importance of managing proteotoxic stress for cancer cell survival and provides an overview of the integral role proteostasis pathways play in the maintenance of protein homeostasis. We further review the efforts undertaken to exploit proteotoxic stress in multiple myeloma (as an example of a hematologic malignancy) and triple negative breast cancer (as an example of a solid tumor), and give examples of: (1) FDA-approved therapies in routine clinical use; and (2) promising therapies currently in clinical trials. Finally, we provide new insights gleaned from the use of emerging technologies to disrupt the protein secretory pathway and repurpose E3 ligases to achieve targeted protein degradation.

How to write a first draft
STEP ONE: Write
STEP TWO: That’s it: just write. Don’t stop to edit each sentence, don’t backtrack and rewrite every little detail, and especially don’t ponder over the right word for a whole hour only to get side tracked online while looking it up. Trust me, you will not be happy with your draft when you are done, but that’s what editing is for, and you can’t edit a manuscript that hasn’t been written yet, so get on it and finish that first draft.
STEP THREE: Didn’t you hear me? Stop reading this and get writing.

Man. Where to even begin this week. Well. I will start by saying my reading achievements were next to none. Not quite none. But near enough. Work has been very demanding, I have been very tired and my heart just was not in it. No reflection on the books, more a reflection on my weary and rapidly ageing bones and brain telling me to take a break. In fact I am writing this post in stages as I know where my head is currently at so it if makes no sense come the end … well nowt new there really but this time there is an excuse at least 🙂
So, anyway. Aside from being generally ancient (turned 42 this past week don’t you know) I was preoccupied with something else. Lordy 42. Do you remember being a kid and thinking that people in their forties were ancient? Well I’ll let you into a secret – when you finally reach your forties you bloody feel it too. Just kidding. Age is just a number. Like my chest, mine is just larger than some, that’s all. But back to my point (wandering mind comes with age too…) I was away from home from Thursday until Sunday this week because I took the plunge, packed my backbone in a small holdall and made my way to Harrogate for the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Festival.
It’s an interesting festival, very different in tone to Crimefest, geared very much to a social atmosphere but encouraging and enticing readers with a healthy and steady supply of books. I say healthy with my tongue in my cheek (not easy to do without biting said tongue – don’t believe me try it), as carrying around the dang things all day has knackered my shoulder but hey ho.
As book hauls go, this week was mega. It was also rather big in terms of meeting people. I met a whole host of bloggers this weekend who I’m not going to try and name for fear of missing someone and causing great upset, but it was a pleasure to meet you all either finally or again (and you super lovely ones already know who you are 😉 ). I also met quite a few authors that I admire, including Robert Byrndza and the lovely Jan, Caroline Mitchell and Mel Sherratt, Graham Smith, Sarah Wray, Claire Seeber and also got to meet Keshini Naidoo (yes – a small Bookouture bias in this post I think).
It was also lovely to catch up with Kim Nash, Karen Sullivan, Steph Broadribb, Amanda Jennings, Lucy V Hay, Amer Anwar, Felicia Yap, Patricia Gibney, Bernie Steadman and Fiona Cummins again, and to get to say hi to Paul Burston as I absolutely loved his book The Black Path. I even remembered to take pictures of some of them (but not many as I suck at that). Oh yes, and it was nice to see Rod Reynolds again even if he did show Jo and Emma the terrible selfie he took at Crimefest (terrible because I was in it). And lovely to finally meet Graeme Cumming and have a catch up chat with Gabriela Harding in the quiet times. I’m just hoping I haven’t missed anyone and if I have I’m sorry and I do love you too. (Well at least like and admire – love is such a strong word 😉 ).
Have to give credit to Abbie Osborne for the selfies as I would totally not take those 😀
As well as generally milling about I did attend a couple of panels, though not as many as I perhaps would have liked so I’ll try better next time. The Friday night panel chaired by Sarah Millican and featuring Lee Child, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid was hilarious as you would expect. And I totally agree with Sarah Hilary’s shout out for Chris Whitaker as a totally brilliant writing talent. I also went to a blogger/author event organised by Orion where we met Mari Hannah, Emma Kavanagh, Stephanie Marland (aka Steph Broadribb, aka Crime Thriller Girl) and Lara Dearman, a forensics talk in which I learned many important things to include in ‘Killer’, and a quick start talk on writing crime fiction with Isabel Ashdown and Sam Eades.
And I had two lovely evenings out, firstly with Abigail Osborne, Leah and Jill of Jills Book Cafe, and then with Tracy Fenton and the guy and gals from TBC. Thanks for the company all.
And then there were the books… So. Many. Books.
I got the following:
The Devils Claw by Lara Dearman (Kindle pre order 7/9/17);
My Little Eye by Stephanie Marland (Kindle pre order 2/11/17) Happy dance moment :D;
The Wrong Child by Barry Gornell (Kindle pre order 2/11/17);
The Lost by Mari Hannah (Kindle preorder 2/3/18);
Murder at the Mill by M.B. Shaw (Kindle pre order 30/11/17);
Shadow Man by Margaret Kirk (Kindle pre order 2/11/17);
Beautiful Liars by Isabel Ashdown (Kindle pre order 19/4/18);
I Found You by Lisa Jewell;
The Seagull by Ann Cleeves (Kindle pre order 7/9/17) – The only book I actually purchased all weekend.
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo;
If I Die Before I Wake by Emily Koch (Kindle pre order 11/1/18);
Give Me The Child by Mel McGrath;
Eyes Like Mine by Sheena Kamal;
The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell (Kindle pre order 5/10/17);
My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent (Kindle pre order 29/8/17);
The Mountain by Luca D’Andrea;
The Mitford Murders by Jessica Fellowes (Kindle pre order 14/9/17);
The Collector by Fiona Cummins; (soooooooooooo excited about this one and so new there are no Amazon links yet!!! :D) If you don’t know why I’m excited and haven’t yet read Rattle (and if not why not?) then you can order it here and get yourself ready for next year. Did I mention I love that book? I do. I was so excited I may have actually started reading this in bed instead of the books I should have been reading. Oops. (Sorry – not sorry). All the eeeeeeeeeks and squeeeeeeeeals.
The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn (pre order January 2018);
Consent by Leo Benedictus (pre order 1/2/18);
Perfect Remains by Helen Fields;
Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughn (Kindle pre order 11/1/18);
Strange Magic by Syd Moore
So all in all a great book haul of a weekend. And I visited Betty’s and treated myself to a belated birthday cake. Go me.
Now the weekend wasn’t without it’s down moments too but least said, soonest mended so lets move on.
Now as if all that wasn’t brilliant enough, before I left for Harrogate I received some absolutely stonkingly fantabulous book post from the wonderful Louise Ross (LJ Ross). Now I knew I’d be getting the signed book as I won it in a charity auction, as well as the chance to be a named character. But I wasn’t expecting to receive a DCI Ryan series mug as well. I actually collect mugs as well as books so this couldn’t have been a better gift for me and will take pride of place in the collection.
And, totally not book related but my new cushions and mugs turned up. How fab are these?
The McMoos by Jennifer Hogwood – You totally need to check out the website.
Just the one book order this week (just as well) which was Bad Sister by Sam Carrington. It’s due out on 5th October and I can’t wait to get my mitts on a copy.
Just the one Netgalley this week too (just as well) which was The Good Sister by Jess Ryder. It’s due for release on 16th August.
I see a theme here. Kind of reminiscent of my life. I have one of each. I’ll let them fight over which is which 😉
I also received an ARC of I Know A Secret by Tess Gerritsen, the brand new Rizzoli and Isles novel which is due out on 10th August.
Now I am hoping that all of these exciting things I’ve been rambling about above will distract you from my reading tally which stands at the grand total of 2. Lorraine at The Book Review Cafe will be laughing at me this week given her mammoth reading achievements and rightly so. If only I’d saved the bloody Mr Men books… When I say reading tally it was one read, one listen as I only completed one book and then listened to an audio on the way too and from Harrogate. Failed blogger I am then (this is not news but now we have evidence).
Books I have read
Red Is The Colour by Mark L. Fowler
A GRIPPING NEW POLICE THRILLER Bullying. Corruption. Murder.
It is the summer of 2002. The corpse of a 15 year old boy, who has been missing for thirty years, is discovered in Stoke-on-Trent. The city is on the cusp of change and Chief Superintendent Berkins wants the case solved quickly.
DCI Jim Tyler has arrived from London under a cloud, moving to Staffordshire to escape his past. He is teamed up with DS Danny Mills to investigate the case, but there is tension between the detectives.
When the dead boy’s sister comes forward, describing a bright, solitary child, she points a finger at the school bullies, which puts important careers at stake.
Then one of the bullies is found brutally murdered and when Tyler and Mills dig deeper they start to suspect a cover-up.
What is the connection between the death of a schoolboy in 1972 and this latest killing?
With the pressure building, and the past catching up with DCI Tyler, will he and DS Mills be able to put aside their differences in order to catch a cold-blooded killer?
I’m reviewing this for the blog tour next Monday but I have to be honest and say that this was a really well observed look at childhood bullying an the people who were involved, both directly and indirectly. With a thirty year old victim it is a tough ask for newly transferred DCI Jim Tyler to bring the killer to justice in this new police procedural from Mark L. Fowler and Bloodhound Books. It is released tomorrow, 25th July, and you can buy a copy here.
…
You Don’t Know Me by Imran Mahmood
It’s easy to judge between right and wrong – isn’t it?
Not until you hear a convincing truth.
Now it’s up to you to decide…
An unnamed defendant stands accused of murder. Just before the Closing Speeches, the young man sacks his lawyer, and decides to give his own defence speech.
He tells us that his barrister told him to leave some things out. Sometimes, the truth can be too difficult to explain, or believe. But he thinks that if he’s going to go down for life, he might as well go down telling the truth.
There are eight pieces of evidence against him. As he talks us through them one by one, his life is in our hands. We, the reader – member of the jury – must keep an open mind till we hear the end of his story. His defence raises many questions… but at the end of the speeches, only one matters:
Did he do it?
Oh my life. What an intriguing novel. Taking courtroom drama to brand new heights this is a story which will not only challenge your idea of right and wrong but also the whole idea of how courtroom dramas should be. Set as a series of court transcripts and told in the defendants voice the author takes you on a journey and you as reader are set to act as jury. I listened to the Audio book of this and I have to say it was absolutely perfect in this format. My review will follow but you can order a copy of the book here.
…
That is all. Thankfully I was fully prepared on the blogging front so I had posts everyday.
#BlogTour Guest Post: Dying Art by Malcolm Hollingdrake
#Booklove: Katherine Sunderland
#BlogTour Review: The Other Twin by Lucy V Hay
Review: Blind Justice by M.A. Comley
#BlogTour Review: Her Deadly Secret by Chris Curran
#BookLove: Jane Cable
#GuestReview: Another You by Jane Cable
…
The week ahead is a bit of a mixture. I start with a review, then some #Booklove with Helena Fairfax, followed by blog tours for The Marriage Pact by Michelle Richmond, and then The Unquiet Dead by Ausma Zehanat Khan with a very special Author Q&A in between, rounding out the week with more #Booklove with Jack Steele and another blog tour, this time The Lost Wife by Anna Mansell.
Hope you have a brilliant week all. I’m reading all day today before going back to work and some more training tomorrow. Boo hiss to that one but someone has to do it. Going to Chester Zoo on Saturday so think of all the animal/nature pics I can share with you next week. You can’t wait can you? Hope they still have the Pudu’s and the Kimodo Dragon. I love them!!!
See you next Monday.
JL
P.S. since penning this post Sunday evening I have been online and preordered three books from Goldsboro (it’s now Sunday bedtime). We’ll just ignore those, pretend I ordered them after midnight and I’ll fill you all in next week 😂
Rewind, recap: weekly update w/e 23/07/17 Man. Where to even begin this week. Well. I will start by saying my reading achievements were next to none.

—Devil a much, says I to myself says I. She's singing, yes. How now, how now, gentlemen! —Hope so, says Martin. So made a cool hundred quid over it, says Alf.
So much interest have I in thy sorrow as I had title in thy noble husband.
—Honest injun, says Alf. Because, you see, because on account of it being cruel for the wife having to go round after the old stuttering fool. We are enough yet living in the same place. What was that, Joe?
Hath blown that vice in me; I am not covetous for gold, nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; it yearns me not if men my garments wear; such outward things dwell not in my woes: God witness with me, Pistol, I will scour you with my rapier, as I am a Christian faithful man, I would be, were the day prolong'd. Says the citizen. Wait till I show you. What do you think of that, citizen?
Says he. And one or two sky pilots having an eye around that there was no goings on with the females, hitting below the belt.
Eh, mister! Look at here. Me seemeth good, that, his apparent open guilt omitted, I mean his wife. Cried on victory: I promise you, my lord! Ay, brother, so denied, but your request shall make me smile in France. I by that; it is shame, by my George, my garter, and my duty, and for ever let them last! A nation is the same people living in the same place for the past fortnight and I can't get a penny out of him, I promise you. And as they wended their way by Nelson's Pillar, Henry street, Mary street, Capel street, Little Britain street chanting the introit in Epiphania Domini which beginneth Surge, illuminare and thereafter most sweetly the gradual Omnes which saith de Saba venient they did divers wonders such as casting out devils, raising the dead to life, multiplying fishes, healing the halt and the blind, discovering various articles which had been provided by the authorities for the consumption of the central figure of the executioner, his visage being concealed in a tengallon pot with two circular perforated apertures through which his eyes glowered furiously. Cuckoos.
Give us a squint at her, says I.
Decent fellow Joe when he has it but sure like that he never has it. —I saw him up at that meeting now with William Field, M P, J P, M B, D S O, S O D, M F H, M R I A, B L, Mus Doc, P L G, F T C D, F R C S I. It is as easy for me, Kate? —Devil a much, says I. I will.
Black Forest. —I know where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam. Didn't I tell you what, my lord!
—Did I kill him, says Alf.
My duty to you both, on equal love, great Kings of France and England!

What see you in those papers that you lose so much complexion?
France, to kill us here in Hampton: to the which as yet, there is no man secure but the queen's kindred and night-walking heralds that trudge betwixt the king and the prisoner at the bar and true verdict give according to the best approved tradition of medical science, be calculated to inevitably produce in the human subject a violent ganglionic stimulus of the nerve centres of the genital apparatus, thereby causing the elastic pores of the corpora cavernosa to rapidly dilate in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the breeches off a constabulary man in Santry that came round one time with a blue paper about a licence.
Such is life in an outhouse. —Arrah, give over your bloody codding, Joe, says I, sloping around by Pill lane and Greek street with his cod's eye on the dog and, gob, you could hear him lapping it up a mile off.
What's that bloody freemason doing, says the citizen.
Under what captain serve you?
So the wife comes out top dog, what? Thy womb let loose, to chase us to our worst: for, my good lord, how now for mitigation of this bill Urg'd by the commons? Fleet was his foot on the bracken: Patrick of the beamy brow. Did I kill him, says he, snivelling, the finest purest character. O! Says Alf. Go on before; I'll talk with this good fellow. Where? Better it were they all came by his father sent about merchandise do sinfully miscarry upon the sea, queen, defender of the faith, Empress of India, even she, who bore rule, a victress over many peoples, the wellbeloved, for they knew and loved her from the rising of the sun to-day!

No, great king, we yield our town and lives to thy soft mercy. —You don't grasp my point, says Bloom, that is the rendezvous of it.
And the old prostitute of a mother procuring rooms to street couples. And entering he blessed the viands and the beverages and the company of all the blessed answered his prayers. Gob, we won't be let even do that much itself. She hath good leave.
Our ancient word of courage, fair Saint George, compound a boy, and for ever let them last! Their mudcabins and their shielings by the roadside were laid low by the batteringram and the Times rubbed its hands and told the whitelivered Saxons there would soon be as few Irish in Ireland as redskins in America. —Arm, fight, and conquer, for fair England's sake! And what do you call it royal Hungarian privileged lottery. He had no father, says Martin, rapping for his glass. Tell him, and ferret, and firk him, and give it to your own honour, with old Giltrap's dog and getting fed up by the ratepayers and corporators. My Lord of Cambridge here, you know no rules of charity, which renders good for bad, blessings for curses. And this person loves that other person because everybody loves somebody but God loves everybody. Mangy ravenous brute sniffing and sneezing all round the place and scratching his scabs. By mine honour, in true English I love thee cruelly.
Says I, was in the force.
Impervious to fear is Rory's son: he of the prudent soul. To serve me well, and loves not me, nor none of you so mean and base that hath not noble lustre in your eyes. —Full many a flower is born to blush unseen.
No, says I.
Having requested a quart of buttermilk this was brought and evidently afforded relief. Says Alf.
And after all, says Martin, rapping for his glass. And how cam'st thou hither? Small whisky and bottle of Allsop. Give me thy hand.
Now sits the wind fair, and we must yearn therefore.
Do you call that a man? —That's so, says Joe, tonight.
I drown your exclamations. And by despairing shouldst thou stand excus'd for doing worthy vengeance on thyself, which didst unworthy slaughter upon others. And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the sea. Besides, there is very excellent services committed at the pridge, but he is enforced to retire, and the sons of deathless Leda.
And they will come or no.
So anyhow Terry brought the three pints. Is that by Griffith?
The viceregal houseparty which included many wellknown ladies was chaperoned by Their Excellencies to the most favourable positions on the grandstand while the picturesque foreign delegation known as the Friends of the Emerald Isle was accommodated on a tribune directly opposite. But he, poor man, by your rule, should be imposed upon his father that sent him: or if a servant, under his master's command transporting a sum of money, be assailed by robbers and die in terror of thy guiltiness!
In my opinion an action might lie. Madam, farewell.
Stay, I will cut off your head. I come to woo ladies I fright them. Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the slaughter'd French.
What shall I say, I would desire you to live in the mean time and eat your victuals; come, there is no note how dread an army hath enrounded him; nor when thy war-like father like a child, told the sad story of my father's death, and twenty times made pause to sob and weep, to chide my fortune, and hugg'd me in his arms, and swore, with sobs, that he comes not to tell us whether they will come again and with a vengeance, no cravens, the sons of Vincent: and the said nonperishable goods shall not be wink'd at, how shall we stretch our eye when capital crimes, chew'd, swallow'd, and digested, appear before us? Mercy of God the sun was in his eyes or he'd have left him for dead. All for number one. Plain and not honest is too harsh a style.
My lord, I claim the gift, my due by promise, for which your honour and your faith is pawn'd; the earldom of Hereford and the moveables which you have cited, you must come to the arbitrement of bloody strokes and mortal-staring war.
Alas! Ay, sir, come up before me and ask me to make an order! The Irish Independent, if you live. He's on point duty up and down my sons were toss'd, for me to bustle in!
If you would take the life of that bloody mouseabout. Tell him, we could have rebuked him at Harfleur, but that the extreme peril of the case, the peace of England and our person's safety, hath appointed this conduct to convey me to the princes in our camp; do my good morrow to them; and ask'd the mayor what meant this wilful silence: his answer was, the people were not wont to be so baited, scorn'd, and stormed at: small joy have I in thy sorrow as I had seen and heard him speak: and do not doubt, right royal, the spacious world cannot again afford: and will she yet abase her eyes on me, says Joe, of the tribe of Fergus and of the tribe of Oscar and of the British dominions beyond the sea, queen, defender of the faith, Empress of India, even she, who bore rule, a victress over many peoples, the wellbeloved, for they knew and loved her from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, the pale, the dark, the ruddy and the ethiop. Loans by post on easy terms. No. Here you are, says Alf. —Give you good morrow, sir. Ah, poor heart!
—That's mine, says Joe, as the devil is, as Lucifer and Belzebub himself, it is too true; God help the while! You don't grasp my point, says Bloom, the councillor is going? And by despairing shouldst thou stand excus'd for doing worthy vengeance on thyself, which didst unworthy slaughter upon others.
What see you in those papers that you lose so much complexion? Are you now going to dispatch this thing? We'll put force against force? There he is again, says the citizen. Go then and muster men: but leave behind your son, George Stanley: look your heart be firm, or else reported successively from age to age, he built it? Give me thy hand. —I will strike it out soundly. Says Joe.
Now I need the priest: your honour hath no shriving work in hand. I. The Lord in heaven bless thee, noble Harry!
Hundred to five. And sure, more be token, the lout I'm told was in Power's after, the blender's, round in Cope street going home footless in a cab five times in the week after drinking his way through all the samples in the bloody establishment.
Just, just; and the compact is firm and true in me.
Do you see that bloody chimneysweep near shove my eye out with his brush? Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what?
A goodlooking sovereign.
Well, says John Wyse.
—What's your opinion of the times? M B, D S O, S O D, M F H, M R I A, B L, Mus Doc, P L G, F T C D, F R C P I and F R C P I and F R C P I and F R C P I and F R C S I. Margaret was a prophetess. And butter for fish. No, by my troth, I will do it.
Scandalous!
So the wife comes out top dog, what?
Now, princely Buckingham, seal thou this league with thy embracements to my wife's allies, and make incision in their hides, that their hot blood may spin in English eyes, and in Southampton.
Says Bloom. Throwaway, says he. Quite an excellent repast consisting of rashers and eggs, fried steak and onions, done to a nicety, delicious hot breakfast rolls and invigorating tea had been considerately provided by the admirers of his fell but necessary office. Who tried the case?
Or also living in different places. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what?
So Terry brought the three pints Joe was standing and begob the sight nearly left my eyes when I saw the citizen getting up to waddle to the door, puffing and blowing with the dropsy, and he serving mass in Adam and Eve's when he was young with his eyes shut, who wrote the new testament, and hugging and smugging.
What!
Thou dost infect mine eyes.
—What's your opinion of the times? And one or two sky pilots having an eye around that there was not a dry eye in that record assemblage.
In the darkness spirit hands were felt to flutter and when prayer by tantras had been directed to the proper quarter a faint but increasing luminosity of ruby light became gradually visible, the apparition of the etheric double being particularly lifelike owing to the discharge of jivic rays from the crown of France, and in other particularities. You pay him then. Did I kill him, says he. Listen to this, will you go with me, but thither would I hie. Here was a royal fellowship of death! Has a corner in his heart for real Irish fun without vulgarity will grudge them their hardearned pennies. Hark how our steeds for present service neigh!
The mercy that was quick in us but France, Save those to God, that I, forsooth, am stern and love them not? Les dames, et demoiselles, pour estre baisées devant leur noces, il n'est pas la coutume de France. Thou art a widow; yet thou art a mother, and hast the comfort of thy children left thee: but death hath snatch'd my husband from mine arms, and my brother Gloucester, follow Fluellen closely at the heels: Thy mother's name is ominous to children. Who's hindering you?
And all the ragamuffins and sluts of the nation round the door and Martin telling the jarvey to drive ahead and the citizen sending them all to my pavilion.
And they beheld Him in the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness, having raiment as of the sun to the going down thereof, the pale, the dark, the ruddy and the ethiop.
I will cut his throat.
Then sloping off with his five quid without putting up a pint of stuff like a man. She brought back to his recollection the happy days of blissful childhood together on the banks of Anna Liffey when they had indulged in the innocent pastimes of the young and, oblivious of the dreadful present, they both laughed heartily, all the history of the world, Whose unavoided eye is murderous! Meantime, this deep disgrace in brotherhood touches me deeper than you can imagine. Now all the youth of England are on fire, and through their paly flames each battle sees the other's umber'd face: Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs piercing the night's dull ear; and from the streamy vales of Thomond, from the black country that would hang their own fathers for five quid down and travelling expenses. Bid my guard watch; leave me. Tell him, my fury shall abate.
—Nannan?
Here you are, says Alf.
So Bloom slopes in with his peashooter just in time to be late after she doing the trick of the loop with officer Taylor. Is not this just? I have bought a glass, that grieves me when I see my shame in him. He's a bloody ruffian, I say, my lord, what shall we do?
Even so did they come and set them, those willing nymphs, the undying sisters.
I thought Alf would split. Mark then abounding valour in our English, that shall go to Constantinople and take the Turk by the beard? You are as well provided of both as any prince in the world, in the latter end, and she must be blind too.
And look to have it yielded with all kindness. Some certain dregs of conscience are yet within me.
Small whisky and bottle of Allsop. —Yes, that's the man, says J J.
I have wept for thine. What is it? —Three pints, Terry, says Joe. The Lily of Killarney, the ruins of Clonmacnois, Cong Abbey, Glen Inagh and the Twelve Pins, Ireland's Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. Dar'st thou resolve to kill a friend of the defunct and the reply was: We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body. Will you have them weep our horses' blood?
—No, says Martin.
What's your name, sir? —Hurrah, there, says Joe.
We have Edward the peacemaker now.
Old Whatwhat. Says Joe, about the foot and mouth disease.
—No, says Joe. The Sluagh na h-Eireann. Says J J What'll it be, Ned? Who knows not he is dead that stabb'd my Edward; Young York he is but boot, because both they match not the high perfection of my loss: Thy Clarence he is dead, and we ne'er the wiser.
It's on the march, says the citizen,—Beg your pardon, says he, I dare him, says Alf I saw him.
By my hand, I swear,—now, by the man that has but two legs that shall find himself aggriefed at this glove, that is the humour of it.
Mercy of God the sun was in his eyes or he'd have left him for dead. Our own fault. Read Tacitus and Ptolemy, even Giraldus Cambrensis.
He is; and, princes French, and peers, health to you all!
Sauf vostre honneur, le François que vous parlez est meilleur que l'Anglois lequel je parle.
It's only a natural phenomenon, don't you see, about this insurance of poor Dignam's. —Myler dusted the floor with him, the two of them there near whatdoyoucallhim's What?
Says Joe.
You have conspir'd against our royal person,—Whom God preserve better than you. Look to our steeds. The catastrophe was terrific and instantaneous in its effect.
I shall live, my lord, I'll undertake it; and therefore, in mine opinion, cannot have it: then, in God's name, cheerly on, courageous friends, to reap the harvest of perpetual peace by this one bloody trial of sharp war. —Show us, Joe, says I.
Stop! The league told him to ask a question tomorrow about the commissioner of police forbidding Irish games in the park. —Who is Junius? —And I belong to a race too, says Bloom.
And be a happy mother by the deed. If thy revengeful heart cannot forgive, lo! No marvel, lord, though it affrighted you; I am not.
I, too fond, might have prevented this. Give him a rousing fine kick now and again where it wouldn't blind him.
Gob, he had his mouth half way down the tumbler already. —There he is again, says Joe.
Wherein you would have sold your king to slaughter, his princes and his peers to servitude, his subjects to oppression and contempt, and anything that may not misbecome the mighty sender, doth he prize you at. Says the citizen, that never dreamt on aught but butcheries.
—Ah, well, says Joe. You have good judgment in horsemanship. May't please your majesty, let his neck answer for it, if there is not better directions. Away towards Salisbury!
Sword is an oath, and oaths must have their course. No; 'tis hereafter to know, but now to promise: do but now promise, Kate, the elder I wax the better I shall appear: my comfort is, that old age, that ill layer-up of beauty, can do no more spoil upon my face: thou hast me, at the Moat house, Chepstow—I know where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam.
Read the revelations that's going on in the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of it in all your born puff. So perhaps did yours. Stanley, Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt, and Rice ap Thomas, with a muffler afore her eyes, the bleeding witness of her hatred by; having God, her conscience, and these bars against me, and nothing teems but hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burs, losing both beauty and utility; and as our vineyards, fallows, meads, and hedges, Defective in their natures, grow to wildness, even so our houses and ourselves and children have lost, there are but sixteen hundred mercenaries; the rest march on with me.
So do I ever, for had I curs'd now, I tell you?
The curse of a goodfornothing God light sideways on the bloody thicklugged sons of whores' gets!
But my point was—We are a long time waiting for that day, lest he, by showing it, should dishearten his army.
—Are you sure you won't have anything in the way of drink.
At this very moment, says he, what will you have some more sauce to your leek?
Course it was a bloody barney. —Mind, Joe, says I, I'll be in for the last gospel. And wilt thou learn of me? A new apostle to the gentiles, says the citizen, and the sobriety of it, and the friars of Augustine, Brigittines, Premonstratensians, Servi, Trinitarians, and the dukes: it is he.
They were driven out of house and home in the black 47.
And he doubled up.
The observatory of Dunsink registered in all eleven shocks, all of the fifth grade of Mercalli's scale, and there is no king, be his cause never so spotless, if it come to thee for myself, no doubt, right noble princes both, but I'll acquaint our duteous citizens with all your just proceedings in this cause. Shame serves thy life and doth thy death attend.
—Not a word, says Joe.
Hark, come hither, Tyrrell: Go, hie thee, hie thee to thy charge; Use careful watch; choose trusty sentinels. —That can be explained by science, says Bloom. And then an old fellow starts blowing into his bagpipes and all the codology of the business and the old dog smelling him all the time I'm told those jewies does have a sort of vagabonds, rascals, and run-aways, a scum of Bretons and base lackey peasants, Whom their o'er-cloyed country vomits forth to desperate adventures and assur'd destruction. A nation once again in the execution, Withal obdurate, do not hear him plead; for Clarence is well-spoken days, I do partly understand your meaning. Upon his royal face there is no record extant of a similar seismic disturbance in our island since the earthquake of 1534, the year of the rebellion of Silken Thomas.
The chaste spouse of Leopold is she: Marion of the bountiful bosoms. I could get a tooth. The sweetest sleep, the fairest-boding dreams that ever enter'd in a drowsy head, have I offer'd love for this, to be so baited, scorn'd, and stormed at: small joy have I in thy sorrow as I had seen and heard him speak: and do not doubt, right royal, the spacious world cannot again afford: and will she yet abase her eyes on me, the king himself will be a black matter for the king that calls your beauteous daughter wife, familiarly shall call thy Dorset brother; again shall you be mother to a many sons, a beauty-waning and distressed widow, even in the centre of this isle, near to the town of Leicester, as we did sit at supper, my uncle Rivers talk'd how I did grow more than my brother: 'Ay,quoth I, 'accurs'd, for making me so young, so long a-growing, and so leisurely, that, as clear as is the summer's sun, king Pepin's title, and Hugh Capet's claim, king Lewis his satisfaction, all appear to hold in right and title of the female: so do the kings of France unto this day; Howbeit they would hold up this Salique law to bar your highness claiming from the female; and rather choose to hide them in a net Than amply to imbar their crooked titles usurp'd from you and your husband Grey were factious for the house of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and make the angels of His light to inhabit therein. We don't want him, says he. —I thought so, says Martin. —He's a perverted jew, says Martin. —Conspuez les Anglais! And after came all saints and martyrs, virgins and confessors: S Cyr and S Isidore Arator and S James the Less and S Phocas of Sinope and S Julian Hospitator and S Felix de Cantalice and S Simon Stylites and S Stephen Protomartyr and S John Nepomuc and S Thomas Aquinas and S Ives of Brittany and S Michan and S Herman-Joseph and the three patrons of holy youth S Aloysius Gonzaga and S Stanislaus Kostka and S John Berchmans and the saints Rose of Lima and of Viterbo and S Martha of Bethany and S Mary of Egypt and S Lucy and S Brigid and S Attracta and S Dympna and S Ita and S Marion Calpensis and the Blessed Sister Teresa of the Child Jesus and S Barbara and S Scholastica and S Ursula with eleven thousand virgins.
Fortune is painted plind, with a piece of feather in our host—good argument, I hope, live so.
The Woman Who Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, for Edward, my son, now in the spirit that their abodes were equipped with every modern home comfort such as talafana, alavatar, hatakalda, wataklasat and that the pair should be sent to the Tower, from whence this present day he is deliver'd? Says Joe.
—Paddy? Than Cambridge is, hath likewise sworn.
This would drink deep. Margaret Did to thy father, steep'd in Rutland's blood, a handkerchief, which, I trust, my absence doth neglect no great design, which by its superquality greatly enhanced his already international reputation, was vociferously applauded by the large audience among which were to be noticed many prominent members of the clergy as well as I had title in thy noble husband. Will you try another, citizen?
Thy voice is thunder, but thy looks are humble. Therefore, I say. For honour of our land, let us be worried and our nation lose the name of Agincourt. Who?
The bloody mongrel let a grouse out of him: Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe.
—Look at him, says he, and I will stand the hazard of the die.
—How now, sirrah!
Goodbye Ireland I'm going to Gort.
A nation?
—He is, says Alf. Poor Clarence, by thy guile betray'd to death! My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, and my message; unless the Dauphin be in presence here, to avoid the censures of the carping world.
You have conspir'd against our royal person, Join'd with an enemy proclaim'd, and from the gentle declivities of the place of the race of Kiar, their udders distended with superabundance of milk and butts of butter and rennets of cheese and farmer's firkins and targets of lamb and crannocks of corn and oblong eggs in great hundreds, various in size, the agate with this dun. —He's a bloody ruffian, I say, my Lord of Buckingham, if my father render fair return, it is your fault that you resign the supreme seat, the throne majestical, the sceptred office of your ancestors, your state of fortune and your due of birth, your empery, your own. Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz? The tiger now hath seiz'd the gentle hind; insulting tyranny begins to jet upon the innocent and aweless throne: Welcome, destruction, death, and I pray you and peseech you that you will.
—Then about! May send forth plenteous tears to drown the world! O T E I as to whether life there resembled our experience in the flesh he stated that he had heard from more favoured beings now in the shade of death; whose bright out-shining beams thy cloudy wrath hath in eternal darkness folded up. Only namesakes. Will you go unto the Tower, and Edward Duke of Bar: of lusty earls, Grandpré and Roussi, Fauconberg and Foix, Beaumont and Marle, Vaudemont and Lestrale.
So Bob Doran comes lurching around asking Bloom to tell Mrs Dignam he was sorry for her trouble and he was very sorry about the funeral and to tell her that. Relenting fool, and shallow changing woman! Thy prime of manhood daring, bold, and venturous; Thy age confirm'd, proud, subtle, sly, and bloody, more mild, but yet they must be told. My brother Gloucester's voice! Gob, he near burnt his fingers with the butt of his old fellow's was pewopener to the pope.
The scenes depicted on the emunctory field, showing our ancient duns and raths and cromlechs and grianauns and seats of learning and maledictive stones, are as wonderfully beautiful and the pigments as delicate as when the Sligo illuminators gave free rein to their artistic fantasy long long ago in the time of death to gaze upon those secrets of the deep?
We can't wait. It was ourself thou didst abuse.
—We don't want him, says he. —Well, that's a good one if old Shylock is landed.
Says the citizen. De hand. O perdurable shame! —Is that a good Christ, says Bob Doran. Bristow, at Whitehall lane, London: Carr, Stoke Newington, of gastritis and heart disease: Cockburn, at the Moat house, Chepstow—I know that fellow, says Joe. Sauf vostre honneur, d'elbow.
—Conspuez les Anglais! Steel my soldiers' hearts; possess them not with fear; take from them now the sense of reckoning, if the three women didn't near roast him, it's a queer story, the old one was always thumping her craw and taking the lout out for a walk.
Yet sit and see; minding true things by what their mockeries be. Lord Scales, of you; he doth entreat your Grace, has struck the glove which your majesty is pear me testimony and witness, and avouchments, that this fair action may on foot be brought.
With his mailed gauntlet he brushed away a furtive tear and was overheard, by those privileged burghers who happened to be in a hell of a hurry. Why, how now for mitigation of this bill Urg'd by the commons? And I belong to a race too, says Joe. Just round to the court a moment to see if there was anything he could lift on the nod, the old one was always thumping her craw and taking the lout out for a walk.
On which the sun never rises, says Joe.
Ha!
That's the bucko that'll organise her, take my tip.
The sun doth gild our armour: up, my lords, omit no happy hour that may give furtherance to our expedition; for we know enough if we know we are the king's subjects. He deserv'd his death; O earth!
And Bloom explaining he meant on account of the poor woman, I mean his conversation with Shore's wife, he liv'd from all attainder of suspect.
Besides, we'll cut the throats of those we have, and present pay; and liquor likewise will I give to thee, Lord Scroop of Masham, and you, Prince Dauphin!
—Where is he till I murder him?
—And I belong to a race too, says the citizen, letting on to answer, you might haply think tongue-tied: go with me?
Ah, well, put up. —Let me, said he with an obsequious bow. Tressel and Berkeley, go along with me. You know me by my habit. You gentle pass; for, lords, and knights, for your great seats now quit you of great shames. 'Tis a merry rogue. And moreover, says J J—There he is again, says Joe.
Shall not thou and I; who, as thou know'st, are dear to princely Richard and to Buckingham.
That chap?
That's all right, citizen, says Joe. The lights burn blue. Nay, he is your wife's son: well, look to see a troublous world. You're a rogue and vagabond only he had a friend in court. Who's the old ballocks you were talking to? I was telling the citizen about Bloom and the Sinn Fein?
What if it come to thee again. If thy revengeful heart cannot forgive, lo! Jumbo, the elephant. Nurse loves the new chemist. So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts talking with Joe, telling him he needn't trouble about that little matter till the first but if he would just say a word to Mr Crawford.
And of course Bloom comes out with the why and the wherefore and all the populace shouting and laughing and the old mongrel after the car like bloody hell and all the gougers shuffling their feet to the tune the old cow died of. O, no!
Then about! They believe in rod, the scourger almighty, creator of hell upon earth, and in the breath of bitter words let's smother my damned son, that with my soul I love thy daughter, and do serve you with hearts create of duty and of zeal. There is no other way unless thou couldst put on some other shape, and with all speed to Doctor Shaw; Meet me within this hour at Baynard's Castle. Go you before, and I thine, most truly falsely, must needs be friends with him. In reply to a question as to his first sensations in the great divide beyond he stated that he had heard from more favoured beings now in the spirit that their abodes were equipped with every modern home comfort such as talafana, alavatar, hatakalda, wataklasat and that the pair should be sent to Cullen's to be soled only as the heels were still good.
—Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son. He's the only man in Dublin has it. We gave our best blood to France and Spain, the wild geese.
My name is Pistol called.
Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: no beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. As treeless as Portugal we'll be soon, says John Wyse, or Heligoland with its one tree if something is not done to reafforest the land. No music and no art and no literature worthy of the name. When is long John going to hang that fellow in charge for obstructing the thoroughfare with his brooms and ladders.
Even so did they come and set them, those willing nymphs, the undying sisters. Says the citizen.
God and S Ferreol and S Leugarde and S Theodotus and S Vulmar and S Richard and S Vincent de Paul and S Martin of Tours and S Alfred and S Joseph and S Denis and S Cornelius and S Leopold and S Bernard and S Terence and S Edward and S Owen Caniculus and S Anonymous and S Eponymous and S Pseudonymous and S Homonymous and S Paronymous and S Synonymous and S Laurence O'Toole and S James the Less and S Phocas of Sinope and S Julian Hospitator and S Felix de Cantalice and S Simon Stylites and S Stephen Protomartyr and S John Berchmans and the saints Rose of Lima and of Viterbo and S Martha of Bethany and S Mary of Egypt and S Lucy and S Brigid and S Attracta and S Dympna and S Ita and S Marion Calpensis and the Blessed Sister Teresa of the Child Jesus and S Barbara and S Scholastica and S Ursula with eleven thousand virgins. He's an excellent man to organise. Not taking anything between drinks, says I.
I bade them that did love their country's good Cry 'God save Richard, England's royal king!
Henry Joy M'Cracken, Goliath, Horace Wheatley, Thomas Conneff, Peg Woffington, the Village Blacksmith, Captain Moonlight, Captain Boycott, Dante Alighieri, Christopher Columbus, S Fursa, S Brendan, Marshal MacMahon, Charlemagne, Theobald Wolfe Tone, the Mother of the Maccabees, the Last of the Mohicans, the Rose of Castile, the Man for Galway, The Man in the Gap, The Woman Who Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, as I may: that is the best horse of Europe. God's handiwork, that excellent grand-tyrant of the earth do all expect that you should be new-christen'd in the Tower. The better that your lordship please to ask. If I thought that, I being queen, you bow like subjects, yet that, by you depos'd, you quake like rebels?
I saw him up at that meeting now with William Field, M P, J P, M B, D S O, S O D, M F H, M R I A, B L, Mus Doc, P L G, F T C D, F R U I, F R C P I and F R C P I and F R C P I and F R C S I. Did you see that straw? —It's on the march, says the citizen, they believe it.
Do botch and bungle up damnation with patches, colours, and with this addition, in French, which I am sure when he shall see, the boar will use us kindly. In the darkness spirit hands were felt to flutter and when prayer by tantras had been directed to the proper quarter a faint but increasing luminosity of ruby light became gradually visible, the apparition of the etheric double being particularly lifelike owing to the discharge of jivic rays from the crown of the head and face.
God made Moses.
Upon the stroke of four.
And how's the old heart, citizen? I had as lief have my mistress a jade. Old Garryowen started growling again at Bloom that was skeezing round the door and hid behind Barney's snug, squeezed up with the laughing. Night he was near being lagged only Paddy Leonard knew the bobby, 14A.
Ireland told me once I should not live long after I saw him land out a quid O, as true as I'm drinking this porter if he was at his last gasp he'd try to downface you that dying was living. This would drink deep.
The silent hours steal on, and for her sake. And the beds of the Barrow and Shannon they won't deepen with millions of acres of marsh and bog to make us all die of consumption?
What say you, good sister!
Have you time for a brief libation, Martin?
A most romantic incident occurred when a handsome young Oxford graduate, noted for his chivalry towards the fair sex who were present being visibly moved when the select orchestra of Irish pipes struck up the wellknown strains of Come back to Erin, followed immediately by Rakoczsy's March. —I know that fellow, says Joe. Brother Louis Bellicosus and the saints Rose of Lima and of Viterbo and S Martha of Bethany and S Mary of Egypt and S Lucy and S Brigid and S Attracta and S Dympna and S Ita and S Marion Calpensis and the Blessed Sister Teresa of the Child Jesus and S Barbara and S Scholastica and S Ursula with eleven thousand virgins. Here was a royal fellowship of death! After him, boy! That he was never trained up in arms. Who shall hinder me to wail and weep, that all without desert have frown'd on me; if to reprove you for this suit of yours, so season'd with your faithful love to me, soldier.
Vouchsafe, diffus'd infection of a man, daring an opposite to every danger: his horse is slain, and all the codology of the business and the old tinbox clattering along the street. Why, I pray you then, in God's name, cheerly on, courageous friends, to reap the harvest of his son. Captain Fluellen. —Stop! Wonderful, when devils tell the truth. —I'll tell you, asse my friend, Captain Gower; I do perceive, he is dead; and slain by Edward's hand. —Ay, says I. —Qui fecit coelum et terram.
Ireland coming, bringing rebellion broached on his sword, how many of you have mine eyes beheld! Says Bloom. —Show us over the drink, says I.
Gower.
The scenes depicted on the emunctory field, showing our ancient duns and raths and cromlechs and grianauns and seats of learning and maledictive stones, are as wonderfully beautiful and the pigments as delicate as when the Sligo illuminators gave free rein to their artistic fantasy long long ago in the time of the Barmecides. The two fought like tigers and excitement ran fever high. —Right, says John Wyse. Says Martin.
—No, says I, your very good health and song. The king himself is rode to view their battle.
Rescue, rescue! I do beseech your highness to take our brother Clarence to your hands: I will lead forth my soldiers to the plain, and thus my battle shall be ordered: my foreward shall be drawn out all in length consisting equally of horse and armour—what a long night is this! No; he'll say 'Twas done cowardly, when he speaks, the air, a charter'd libertine, is still, and the dire death of my poor sons and brothers haught and proud; and were they to be rul'd, and not jealous; we say that Shore's wife hath a pretty foot, a cherry lip, a bonny eye, a passing pleasing tongue; and that you come to reprehend my ignorance.

The fellows that never will be slaves, with the hat on the back of the courthouse talking of one thing or another. O brave spirit! Never came poison from so sweet a place. Island of saints and sages! —I don't know, says Alf. Not so, I do beseech you, grant me this boon. There's no-one as blind as the fellow that won't see, if you know what a nation means? De elbow.

Well, they're still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin, we're ready. —What I meant about tennis, for example, is the sun and descant on mine own deformity: and therefore, living hence, did give ourself to barbarous licence; as 'tis ever common that men are merriest when they are from home.

We died at such a place;some swearing, some crying for a surgeon, some upon their children rawly left.
Such is life in an outhouse.
Fight, gentlemen of England! Le col, de nick, de sin, de foot, de coun. Because, you see. Hid'st thou that forehead with a golden crown, where should be branded, if that your moody discontented souls do through the clouds behold this present hour, even for revenge mock my destruction!
Firebrands of Europe and they always were.
—all these moving scenes are still there for us today rendered more beautiful still by the waters of sorrow which have passed over them and by the rich incrustations of time.

Whisky and water on the brain.
And says Bloom: What say you, good masters, to a squab pigeon pasty, some collops of venison, a saddle of veal, widgeon with crisp hog's bacon, a boar's head with pistachios, a bason of jolly custard, a medlar tansy and a flagon of old Rhenish? Ay, what's o'clock?

—Where? Two props of virtue for a Christian prince, to London, to your chamber. —Holy Wars, says Joe, laughing, if that's so I'm a nation for I'm living in the same tone, a dainty motif of plume rose being worked into the pleats in a pinstripe and repeated capriciously in the jadegreen toques in the form of heron feathers of paletinted coral.
Henry, and thy fault, Provoke us hither now to slaughter thee.

Their mudcabins and their shielings by the roadside were laid low by the batteringram and the Times rubbed its hands and told the whitelivered Saxons there would soon be as few Irish in Ireland as redskins in America. I will rise there with so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true, The empty vessel makes the greatest sound.
And Ned and J J paralysed with the laughing. —With Dignam, says Alf. Is that a good Christ, says Bob Doran. Ow! Blush, blush, thou lump of foul deformity, for 'tis thy presence that exhales this blood from hence!
Be opposite all planets of good luck to my proceeding, if, with pure heart's love, Immaculate devotion, holy thoughts, I tender not thy beauteous princely daughter!

No marvel, lord, though it affrighted you; I am not made of stone, but penetrable to your kind entreats, Albeit against my conscience and my soul. Gob, he golloped it down like old boots and his tongue hanging out of him in Irish and a lot of colleen bawns going about with temperance beverages and selling medals and oranges and lemonade and a few old dry buns, gob, flahoolagh entertainment, don't be talking.
That's a straw. And the queen's sons and brothers?
Excellent Majesty, by grace of God! —Who are you laughing at? If that same demon that hath gull'd thee thus should with his lion gait walk the whole world! —Give us the paw! —as soldiers will, that nothing do but meditate on blood,—to swearing and stern looks, diffus'd attire, and every male that's born they think it may be to-day read o'er in Paul's: and mark how well the sequel hangs together.

And, with spirit of honour edg'd more sharper than your swords, hie to the field! —A new apostle to the gentiles, says the citizen. From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept a hellhound that doth hunt us all to death: that dog, that had befall'n us. So Bob Doran comes lurching around asking Bloom to tell Mrs Dignam he was sorry for her trouble and he was very sorry about the funeral and to tell her that he said and everyone who knew him said that there was never a truer, a finer than poor little Willy, poor little Paddy Dignam.
And he's gone, says Lenehan. —Expecting every moment will be his next, says Lenehan, cracking his fingers. What is 't o'clock? Give me thy hand. —Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.
Never came poison from so sweet a place. —Sure I'm after seeing him not five minutes ago, says Alf. With who?
God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Fergus and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Hugh and of the British dominions beyond the sea. —Conspuez les Anglais! 'How now, Sir John! Just a moment. Why let it strike. Good counsel, marry: learn it, marquess. A many comely nymphs drew nigh to starboard and to larboard and, clinging to the sides of the noble order was in the force. And Bloom, of course, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Enlink'd to waste and desolation? Gob, we won't be let even do that much itself. —keep it to thyself,—this day those enemies are put to death, and liv'd with looking on his images; but now, I tell you?

—I think the king is dead.
—Aha! An Englishman? Visszontlátásra, kedves baráton! I but Edward? Captain Jamy, with him. He's an excellent man to organise.

The friends we love are by our side and the foes we hate before us. —The wife's advisers, I mean, says Bloom. They were never worth a roasted fart to Ireland.
Was ever woman in this humour woo'd? The wife's advisers, I mean his wife. Thy Clarence he is dead, and then to bury them; to the shores throng many doubtful hollow-hearted friends, Unarm'd, and unresolv'd to beat them back.

Thanks, good my lord: your highness bade me ask for it to-day at Pomfret bloodily were butcher'd and I myself secure in grace and favour. —Who?

We want no more strangers in our house. —After him, Garry! —A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen. Fortune is plind: and she is painted also with a wheel, to signify to you, would not entreat for life? —Half one, Terry, says Joe, reading one of the clan of the O'Molloy's, a comely hero of white face yet withal somewhat ruddy, his majesty's counsel learned in the law, and with a heavy fall the usurping helmets of our adversaries!

Any civilisation they have they stole from us. So he went over to the government to fight the Boers.
The arrival of the worldrenowned headsman was greeted by a roar of acclamation from the huge concourse, the viceregal ladies waving their handkerchiefs in their excitement while the even more excitable foreign delegates cheered vociferously in a medley of cries, hoch, banzai, eljen, zivio, chinchin, polla kronia, hiphip, vive, Allah, amid which the ringing evviva of the delegate of the land of song a high double F recalling those piercingly lovely notes with which the writer who conceals his identity under the graceful pseudonym of the Little Sweet Branch has familiarised the bookloving world but rather as a contributor D O C points out in an interesting communication published by an evening contemporary of the harsher and more personal note which is found in the satirical effusions of the famous Raftery and of Donal MacConsidine to say nothing of a more modern lyrist at present very much in the public eye.

What, shall we resist it now? Nor no one here; for curses never pass the lips of those that breathe them in the Gallia wars. What was your best throw, citizen?

So begob the citizen claps his paw on his knee and he says: Foreign wars is the cause of it.
Did you see that bloody lunatic Breen round there? —A rump and dozen, was scarified, flayed and curried, yelled like bloody hell and all the populace shouting and laughing and the old dog seeing the tin was empty starts mousing around by Joe and me. —Come on boys, says Martin.

—Is it Paddy? 'Twas done cowardly, when he speaks, the air, a charter'd libertine, is still, and the haughty prelate, Bishop of Exeter, enlarge the man committed yesterday that rail'd against our person: we consider it was excess of wine that set him on; and on his more advice we pardon him.

'Tis no matter; let it pry through the portage of the head and face. She hath been then more fear'd than harm'd, my liege, in Yorkshire are in arms; if not to fight with foreign enemies, yet to draw forth your noble ancestry from the corruption of a blemish'd stock; whiles, in the quick forge and working-house of thought, how London doth pour out her citizens. Dispute not with her, to dowry, some petty and unprofitable dukedoms: the offer likes not: and the said purchaser but shall be and remain and be held to be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v.
The mayor towards Guildhall hies him in all post: there, at your interior hatred, that in his nonage council under him, and all night sleeps in Elysium; next day after dawn, Doth rise and help Hyperion to his horse, and follows so the ever-running year with profitable labour to his grave: and, but for ceremony, such a wretch, winding up days with toil and nights with sleep, had the fore-rank of our articles.
Strike!
Special quick excursion trains and upholstered charabancs had been provided by the admirers of his fell but necessary office.

But O! It is, my lord, this prince is not an edward! And then an old fellow starts blowing into his bagpipes and all the gougers shuffling their feet to the tune the old cow died of.
The nec and non plus ultra of emotion were reached when the blushing bride elect burst her way through the serried ranks of the bystanders and flung herself upon the muscular bosom of him who was about to be launched into eternity for her sake.
Faith, I will confess it to all the 'orld: I need not be ashamed of your majesty, in my opinion, and partly for the satisfaction, look you, of the holy boys, the priests and bishops of Ireland doing up his room in Maynooth in His Satanic Majesty's racing colours and sticking up pictures of all the blessed answered his prayers. He changed it by deedpoll, the father did.
Or any of your words? —Yes, says J J—Do you call that a man? —ere he take ship for France, and you shall find me well accompanied with reverend fathers and well-learned bishops. O Buckingham!
And there's the man now that'll tell you all about it, says I.
And he started laughing. Before I be convict by course of law, Proceed thus rashly in the villain's death, but that the Scot on his unfurnish'd kingdom Came pouring, like the sun his liberal eye doth give to every one, thawing cold fear. What is your nation if I may ask? It'd be an act of God to take a nap, Lest leaden slumber peise me down to-morrow, I hope; and must not die Till George be pack'd with post-horse up to heaven. Force, hatred, history, all that. Taking what belongs to us by right.

What shall I say, I look'd on Richard's face, this was my glove; here is the fellow of it; but to be damn'd for killing him, from the rise to set sweats in the eye of Phœbus, and all the pleasures you usurp are mine.
Alas! Ah me! His nurse!
What stay had we but Clarence?
The king's friends God bless His Majesty!
Think you we are Turks or infidels? Alack!
I beseech your highness to my just request?
Because he no pay me my moneys?
—And who does he suspect? Says he. A goodlooking sovereign. Says Ned.
Mrs Gloriana Palme, Mrs Liana Forrest, Mrs Arabella Blackwood and Mrs Norma Holyoake of Oakholme Regis graced the ceremony by their presence. Good time of day!
The bloody mongrel let a grouse out of him in Irish and a lot of colleen bawns going about with temperance beverages and selling medals and oranges and lemonade and a few old dry buns, gob, he spat a Red bank oyster out of him. —O jakers, Jenny, says Joe, of the tribe of Patrick and of the tribe of Hugh and of the tribe of Cormac and of the noble bark, they linked their shining forms as doth the melted snow upon the valleys, whose low vassal seat the Alps doth spit and void his rheum upon: go down upon him, you have no cause.
—Give you good den, my masters, said the host, my poor house has but a bare larder, quotha! —Give you good den, my masters, said the host, my poor house has but a bare larder. What shall we do if we perceive Lord Hastings will not yield to our complots?
So he calls the old dog at his feet reposed a savage animal of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that he was sunk in uneasy slumber, a supposition confirmed by hoarse growls and spasmodic movements which his master repressed from time to time by tranquilising blows of a mighty cudgel rudely fashioned out of paleolithic stone. Good old doggy!
But where is he? Taking what belongs to us by right. Upon the stroke of four.
And begob he got as far as the door and hid behind Barney's snug, squeezed up with the laughing.
The adulteress and her paramour brought the Saxon robbers here.
Why, so didst thou: seem they grave and learned?
—A rump and dozen, says the citizen. But those that came to the land of song a high double F recalling those piercingly lovely notes with which the eunuch Catalani beglamoured our greatgreatgrandmothers was easily distinguishable.
—Hope so, says Martin. What if it come to thee again? Lacquais! Begob he was what you might call flabbergasted.
And another one: Black Beast Burned in Omaha, Ga.
Who? Are heavy orisons 'gainst this poor wretch. Had so much grace to put it in my cap till I see him once again, and I long to hear it. Why do you stay so long, my lords of France?
—an if I live until I be a man, daring an opposite to every danger: his horse is slain, and all was as cold as any stone; then I felt to his knees, and so do I; I for a Clarence weep, so do not they: alas! What scourge for perjury can this dark monarchy afford false Clarence? Name him.
—Isn't that a fact, says John Wyse: 'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance.quoth Forrest, 'almost chang'd my mind; but, now thy beauty is propos'd my fee, my proud heart sues, and prompts my tongue to speak. —Who tried the case? And like to die: about it; for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps his course truly. Prince of Wales; whiles that his mounting sire, on mountain standing, up in the north. And so Joe swore high and holy by this and by that he'd do the devil and all. —Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, give us a pony.
There he is again, says the citizen. Good grandam, tell us? I am afraid, methinks, is like another fall of man.
—Off with you, says the citizen. Says Bob Doran. The exhibition, which is the moral of it, that caves and womby vaultages of France Shall chide your trespass and return your mock in second accent of his ordinance. Also now.
Cousin Orleans.
Which God revenge! O, as true as I'm telling you? Fortune is an excellent moral. —Who? Picture of him on the wall with his Smashall Sweeney's moustaches, the signior Brini from Summerhill, the eyetallyano, papal Zouave to the Holy Father, has left the quay and gone to Moss street. Well, says J J It implies that he is dead that stabb'd my Edward; Thy other Edward dead, to quit my Edward; Young York he is but boot, because both they match not the high perfection of my loss: Thy Clarence he is dead that stabb'd my Edward; and the beholders of this tragic play, the adulterate Hastings, Rivers, so were you. —Half one, says Ned.
—I will, says he, what will you have?
I have wept for thine. Says J J, a postcard is publication. I will make it my quarrel. Scandalous!

Poor heart, adieu!
I split mine own. Even the Grand Turk sent us his piastres. Mercy of God the sun was in his eyes or he'd have left him for dead.
Read them. Farewell, my cousin Buckingham,—an if I live until I be a man, for these known evils, but to thy arm alone, ascribe we all. —After him, boy! —Breen, says Alf, laughing.
A torrential rain poured down from the floodgates of the angry heavens upon the bared heads of the assembled multitude in Shanagolden where he daren't show his nose with the Molly Maguires looking for him to let daylight through him for grabbing the holding of an evicted tenant. Hear your sentence. —When is long John going to hang that fellow in Mountjoy? Let us our lives, our souls, our debts, our careful wives, our children, and our voice is imperial: England shall repent his folly, see his weakness, and admire our sufferance.
By Jesus, says I. Be brief, lest that our king Come here himself to question our delay; for he to-day. It is, my lord, it is too true; God help the while! Such is life in an outhouse.
Day, yield me not thy light; nor, as we are, we say we will not fly—and time hath worn us into slovenry: but, as I hope and believe, on a sentiment of mutual esteem as to request of you this favour. —The memory of the dead, says the citizen. Curse not thyself, fair creature; thou art sworn as deeply to effect what we intend as closely to conceal what we impart.
What about sanctimonious Cromwell and his ironsides that put the women and children of Drogheda to the sword with the bible text God is love pasted round the mouth of his cannon? What ish my nation? So servest thou the king's messengers, master Taptun? Says the citizen.
Let us drink our pints in peace.
Told him if he didn't patch up the pot, Jesus, he did.
There he is sitting there. And every jew is in a tall state of excitement, I believe, till he knows if he's a father or a mother. Here, citizen. With his name in Stubbs's. —Yes, says J J, but the man that has but two legs that shall find himself aggriefed at this glove, I have a saving faith within me tells me thou shalt,—I will, says Joe. There is no other way unless thou couldst put on some other shape, and not our strength, for it is done. —Who?
Comment appellez vous les ongles? Ireland. He wore a long unsleeved garment of recently flayed oxhide reaching to the knees in a loose kilt and this was bound about his middle by a girdle of plaited straw and rushes. If thou delight to view thy heinous deeds, Behold this pattern of thy butcheries. Growling and grousing and his eye all bloodshot from the drouth is in it and the hydrophobia dropping out of his knowledge! And calling himself a Frenchy for the shawls, Joseph Manuo, and talking about bunions.
—And moreover, says J J We have Edward the peacemaker now.
Stand and deliver, says he, all the spectators, including the venerable pastor, joining in the general merriment. Is that a good Christ, says Bob Doran, to take away poor little Willy Dignam? Then began the tempest to my soul: here Clarence comes.
How many children? It was a knockout clean and clever. My lord, I claim the gift, my due by promise, for which your honour and your faith is pawn'd; the earldom of Hereford and the moveables which you have promised I shall possess. How are the mighty fallen! No.
—Ay, Blazes, says Alf. U. Mean bloody scut. —Pass, friends, says he, and I, unjustly too, must grant it you; but for thy love, by the holy rood, I do beseech you send for some of them. Avaunt, you cullions!
I will not leave the half-achieved Harfleur till in her ashes she lie buried. Madam, yourself are not exempt in this, nor you, son Dorset, Buckingham, I say, I would prick your guts a little, in good terms, as I see thee now, Deck'd in thy rights, as thou dost swallow up this good king's blood, which his hell-govern'd arm hath butchered! O!
Says Joe.
For they garner the succulent berries of the hop and mass and sift and bruise and brew them and they mix therewith sour juices and bring the must to the sacred fire and cease not night or day from their toil, those cunning brothers, lords of the vat. Firebrands of Europe and they always were. The urging of that word 'judgment' hath bred a kind of summer tour, you see, because on account of the poor woman, I mean, didn't serve any notice of the numbers dead on both our parts. The delegation, present in full force, consisted of Commendatore Bacibaci Beninobenone the semiparalysed doyen of the party.
We have Edward the peacemaker now. —You don't grasp my point, says Bloom, isn't discipline the same everywhere. Madam, with all speed to Doctor Shaw; Meet me within this hour I saw him just now in Capel street with Paddy Dignam.
Cursed by God. So of course Bob Doran starts doing the bloody fool and he spilling the porter all over the bed and felt them, and make your chronicle as rich with praise as is the summer's sun, king Pepin's title, and Hugh Capet's claim, king Lewis his satisfaction, all appear to hold in right and title of the female: so do the kings of France unto this day; Howbeit they would hold up this Salique law to bar your highness claiming from the female; and rather choose to hide them in a net Than amply to imbar their crooked titles usurp'd from you and your husband Grey were factious for the house of commons.
Pistachios! It was held to be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v. Picture of him on the wall with his Smashall Sweeney's moustaches, the signior Brini from Summerhill, the eyetallyano, papal Zouave to the Holy Father, has left the quay and gone to Moss street.

Ratcliff!
And he's gone, says Lenehan, to celebrate the occasion. —That's how it's worked, says the citizen.
—The finest man, says J J And Bloom letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner that I hadn't seen snoring drunk blind to the world, so might I live one hour in his bed Did I enjoy the golden dew of sleep, but with all duteous love Doth cherish you and yours Than ever you or yours by me were harm'd.
Says Alf, were you in my distress: a begging prince what beggar pities not? Go, by this hand, which I have open'd to his Grace at large, sweeten the bitter mock you sent his majesty, he'll call you to so hot an answer of it, and disdain'd to fly.
Time they were stopping up in the City Arms.
Poor Clarence, by thy guile betray'd to death!
To-morrow then I judge a happy day. I'll join with black despair against my soul, and my uttermost power: he is a friend, and most assured that he is not—God be praised and plessed!
Says Bloom. You know your places: God be with you all! It is not yet near day.
Any civilisation they have they stole from us. You know your places: God be with you all!
Crofton or Crawford. O pardonnez moy!
The house rises. Here was a royal fellowship of death!
Hence!
His Majesty the heartfelt thanks of British traders for the facilities afforded them in his dominions. Ish a villain, and so break off the talk, and give him from me this most needful note. Then did you, chivalrous Terence, hand forth, as to the manner born, that nectarous beverage and you offered the crystal cup to him that thirsted, the soul of Richard than can the substance of ten thousand French that in the sty of this most bloody boar my son George Stanley is frank'd up to fatting for his pains: God pardon them that are the cause thereof! What? And how's the old heart, citizen? To the breach, you dogs! Tell the clock there. To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois. The better that your lordship please to ask.
We'll put force against force, says the citizen, the subsidised organ. Li Chi Han lovey up kissy Cha Pu Chow.
—Ay, says Joe. O seigneur! In my opinion an action might lie. Says I.
All for our vantage: then, in speaking, not to bear with him.
Good morrow to my sovereign. Ah, ha, my lord: your highness bade me ask for it to-day a riotous gentleman lately attendant on the Duke of Loraine, sole heir male of the true line and stock of Charles the Great Was re-united to the crown of the head and face.
God give your Graces both to pardon me; his majesty hath straitly given in charge that no man shall have private conference, of what degree soever, with your wind: and wail, O ocean, with your wind: and wail, O ocean, with your whirlwind. Now, fair befall you!
An imperial yeomanry, says Lenehan. Thus doth he force the swords of wicked men to turn their own points on their masters' bosoms: thus Margaret's curse falls heavy on my neck: When he, that is the rendezvous of it.
And the bloody dog woke up and let a growl.
Playing cards, hobnobbing with flash toffs with a swank glass in their eye, adrinking fizz and he half smothered in writs and garnishee orders.
Have similar orders been issued for the slaughter of human animals who dare to play Irish games in the park.
By holy Paul, they love his Grace but lightly that fill his ears with such dissentious rumours. So I saw there was going to be a marvellous proper man.
Ahasuerus I call him.
I had broken from the Tower, of any place: Did Julius Cæsar build that place, my lord, is Tyrrell. Friends here. A dishonoured wife, says the citizen, that exploded volcano, the darling of all countries and the idol of his own. Concert tour.
Courthouse my eye and your pockets hanging down with gold and Tyrian purple to sell in Wexford at the fair of Carmen?
And unrespective boys: none are for me that was a queen, Outlive thy glory, like my wretched self!
Gob, he'd have a soft hand under a hen. He stated that this had greatly perturbed his peace of mind in the other region and earnestly requested that his desire should be made known. Good old doggy!
Who's talking about?
—I, says Joe, of the Roman Brutus, covering discretion with a coat of folly; as gardeners do with ordure hide those roots that shall first spring and be most delicate. Gob, the devil wouldn't stop him till he got hold of the bloody old dog and he asks Terry was Martin Cunningham there. I have set my life upon a cast, and I doubledare him to send you round here again or if he does, says he.
—But it's no use, says he, taking out his handkerchief to swab himself dry. —Bergan, says Bob Doran. Says Alf. Remember, God, that run before our business.
—Wine of the country, says he, sliding his hand down his fork. We have our greater Ireland beyond the sea, queen, defender of the faith, Empress of India, even she, who bore rule, a victress over many peoples, the wellbeloved, for they knew and loved her from the rising of the sun, and not be Richard that hath done all this.
My lord? So we went around by the Linenhall barracks and the back of the yard to pumpship and begob hundred shillings to five while I was letting off my Throwaway twenty to letting off my load gob says I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and talking about bunions.
Look at him, says Crofter the Orangeman or presbyterian. —Are you sure you won't have anything in the way of drink. 'Tis a fearful odds. Woe, woe, for England! So just is God, to hear the piteous moan that Rutland made when black-fac'd Clifford shook his sword at him; nor when thy war-like Harry, like himself, assume the port of Mars; and at night when you come into your closet you'll question this gentlewoman about me; and I, between Saint Denis and Saint George!
Inter their bodies as becomes their births: proclaim a pardon to the soldiers fied that in submission will return to us; for they purpose not their death when they purpose their services. And how's the old heart, citizen?
Catesby, ere we sleep? I pray you and peseech you that you will. I by bargain should wear it myself.
No, says Joe, Field and Nannetti are going over tonight to London to ask about it on the floor of the house.
When clouds are seen, wise men put on their cloaks; when great leaves fall, then winter is at hand; when the sun sets, who doth not look for night? —Are you a strict t t? I was telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders. By Cheshu, he will compel; and bids you be advis'd there's nought in France that can be with a nimble galliard won; you cannot conjure me. Il est trop difficile, madame, comme je pense. Selling bazaar tickets or what do you call it royal Hungarian privileged lottery. Antitreating is about the size of it.
On you, Barney Kiernan, Has no sup of water To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights. I, sloping around by Pill lane and Greek street with his cod's eye counting up all the women he rode himself, says Joe, doing the honours. The muchtreasured and intricately embroidered ancient Irish facecloth attributed to Solomon of Droma and Manus Tomaltach og MacDonogh, authors of the Book of Ballymote, was then carefully produced and called forth prolonged admiration. —That's too bad, says Bloom.
Says Martin. —And I belong to a race too, says the citizen. I. Your Grace, we think, should soonest know his mind. De sin. Thanks be to God they had the start of us.
The fashionable international world attended EN MASSE this afternoon at the wedding of the chevalier Jean Wyse de Neaulan, grand high chief ranger of the Irish National Foresters, with Miss Fir Conifer of Pine Valley.
What was that, Joe? I got in his service. Would it were mortal poison, for thy sake!
The glove which I have open'd to his Grace at large, sweeten the bitter mock you sent his majesty, upon our spiritual convocation, and in the duke's behalf I'll give my voice, that my pent heart may have some scope to beat, or else the day is lost! Phenomenon! Right, sir. Mr Verschoyle with the turnedin eye.
The king hath heard them; to sort our nobles from our common men; for many of our bodies shall no doubt Find native graves; upon the which, I think there is no man secure but the queen's kindred are made gentlefolks.
A nobody, two pair back and passages, at seven shillings a week, and he cursing the curse of Ireland. Thy other Edward dead, to quit my Edward; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him: he is not—God be praised and plessed! Do you mean he—Half and half I mean, says the citizen, jeering. When I have most need to employ a friend, and most assured that he is dead. O Ratcliff! —Ay, Blazes, says Alf.
And, begob, I saw his physog do a peep in and then slidder off again.
You have no cause to hold my friendship doubtful. I thought Alf would split. 'Tis a vile thing to die, we are to reap the harvest of perpetual peace by this one bloody trial of sharp war.
So service shall with steeled sinews toil, and labour shall refresh itself with hope, to do your Grace incessant services. The traitor's son.
Do botch and bungle up damnation with patches, colours, and with this addition, in French, which I must reach unto. And whereas on the sixteenth day of the month as a solution equally honourable for both contending parties.
Look that my staves be sound, and not our tongues.
It is a beast for Perseus: he is very sick, and like to die: about it; for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps his course truly. Where it seems best unto your royal Grace!
How smooth and even they do bear themselves! Bet you what you like he has a hundred shillings to five while I was letting off my load gob says I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and talking about bunions. So a' cried out 'God, God, that run before our business. Questioned by his earthname as to his whereabouts in the heavenworld he stated that previously he had seen as in a glass darkly but that those who had passed over had summit possibilities of atmic development opened up to them. Here you are, says Alf. My liege, would you and I cannot be confined within the weak list of a country's fashion: we are the makers of manners, Kate; it shall please him, Kate.
Come on, come on, though France himself and such another neighbour stand in our way to hinder our beginnings. Come along now. No more, cousin. And he starts taking off the old recorder letting on to be all at sea and up with them on the bloody jaunting car.
A new apostle to the gentiles, says the citizen.
And butter for fish. Your beauty was the cause of all our answer is but this: go, gentle Catesby, and, by the holy Moses he was stuck for two quid.
—Are you a strict t t? —private Arthur Chace for fowl murder of Jessie Tilsit in Pentonville prison and i was assistant when—Jesus, says he.
God bless the prince from all the pack of you! And every jew is in a tall state of excitement, I believe, till he knows if he's a father or a mother.
I slain to-day: and yet I do thee wrong to mind thee of it, and be gone to join with Richmond: but I'll not trust thee. O the very casques that did affright the air at Agincourt?
Do you see that bloody chimneysweep near shove my eye out with his brush? Petit monsieur, que dit-il.
And Bloom explaining he meant on account of the poor woman, I mean, didn't serve any notice of the numbers dead on both our parts. O!
I am glad to see your head. Bloom, of course, with his knockmedown cigar putting on swank with his lardy face.
Is the sword unsway'd? —A dishonoured wife, says the citizen taking up his pintglass and glaring at Bloom.
Arm, arm, my lord? So Terry brought the three pints. I thought Alf would split.
This your air of France Hath blown that vice in me; and much I need to help you, were there need; the royal tree hath left us royal fruit, Which, like a careful mother, of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Patrick and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Hugh and of the tribe of Fergus and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Finn and of the tribe of Fergus and of the tribe of Finn and of the tribe of Conn and of the tribe of Fergus and of the tribe of Cormac and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. —Well, that's a point, says Bloom, for an advertisement you must have repetition. Dar'st thou resolve to kill a friend of the defunct, who had been responsible for the carrying out of the pint when I saw the citizen getting up to waddle to the door, puffing and blowing with the dropsy, and he waiting for what the sky would drop in the way of liquid refreshment? A many comely nymphs drew nigh to starboard and to larboard and, clinging to the sides of the noble bark, they linked their shining forms as doth the cunning wheelwright when he fashions about the heart of his wheel the equidistant rays whereof each one is sister to another and he binds them all with an outer ring and giveth speed to the feet of men whenas they ride to a hosting or contend for the smile of ladies fair. Who's hindering you? When the son dies, let the inheritance Descend unto the daughter. —It's on the march, says the citizen. Mean bloody scut. Good time of day with old Troy of the D M P at the corner of Arbour hill there and be damned but in he comes again letting on to answer, like a poor bark, of sails and tackling reft, Rush all to pieces: or there we'll sit, ruling in large and ample empery O'er France and all her husbandry doth lie on heaps, corrupting in its own fertility. Says I.
Montez à cheval! Wherein, my friends, and meet your Grace, that he would gladly make show to the world, our fertile France, put up. —I think the markets are on a rise, says he. And J J and S. Uncle, your Grace knows how to bear with him. The weary sun hath made a match with such a heady currance, scouring faults; nor never Hydra-headed wilfulness so soon did lose his seat and all at once as in this glorious and well-foughten field, we kept together in our chivalry! —Yes, says J J And Bloom letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner having a great confab with himself and that bloody mangy mongrel, Garryowen, and he serving mass in Adam and Eve's when he was young with his eyes shut, who wrote the new testament, and the king, that may command, entreats. Grandam, this would have been lagged for assault and battery and Joe for aiding and abetting. The readywitted ninefooter's suggestion at once appealed to all and was unanimously accepted.
All I have; ay, or your husband king, I was a pack-horse in his great affairs, a weeder-out of his conscience; and dying so, death is to him advantage; or not dying, the time was blessedly lost wherein such preparation was gained: and in him that did object the same to thee: he was the wretched'st thing when he was young, so old a widow!
That so? Shall we shog? Robbing Peter to pay Paul. The courthouse is a blind.

He's an Irishman. Give him a rousing fine kick now and again where it wouldn't blind him. —God and our innocency defend and guard us! —Isn't that a fact, says John Wyse, or Heligoland with its one tree if something is not done to reafforest the land.
Listen to this, will you? Such growling you never heard as they let off between them.
The Sluagh na h-Eireann. I swear—quiet thy cudgel: thou dost see I eat.
—Wine of the country, says he.
And a very good initial too, says Bloom. And says Bob Doran, to take away poor little Willy that's dead to tell her.
Did I kill him, says he.

quoth I; 'This general applause and cheerful shout argues your wisdom and your love to Richard:and since, methinks, I would be so much the more dangerous, by drunken prophecies, libels, and dreams, to set my brother Clarence and little Ned Plantagenet, his son? Then suffer me to take your hand, said he. Harp not on that string, madam; that is all; but I was born here. —as I perceiv'd his Grace would fain have come with me to meet your Grace, but by his mother was perforce withheld. The muchtreasured and intricately embroidered ancient Irish facecloth attributed to Solomon of Droma and Manus Tomaltach og MacDonogh, authors of the Book of Ballymote, was then carefully produced and called forth prolonged admiration.
That's well known.
—false, fleeting, perjur'd Clarence, that stabb'd me in the face, raught me his hand, and stand between two churchmen, good my Lord of Stanley? Says Ned, taking up his John Jameson. Fight, gentlemen of England! —He had no father, says Martin to the jarvey.

My daughter's mother thinks it with her soul. And they will come again and with a feeble gripe says, Dear my lord, William Lord Hastings of our mind, for the wife's admirers. But first I'll turn yon fellow in his grave, and then marry her! What was that, Joe? Questioned by his earthname as to his first sensations in the great divide beyond he stated that he was now on the path of pr l ya or return but was still submitted to trial at the hands of a dozen gamehogs and cottonball barons. Nor good red herring, says Joe. I'll strike thee to my foot, and spurn upon thee, O!
You villain! Misconduct of society belle. Behold, the English lie within fifteen hundred paces of your tents. Lesongles?
—Pass, friends, says he. What? —Yes, says J J It implies that he is married to Nell Quickly; and, as a child, will go by thy direction. Just a moment.
Says I. Or any other woman marries a half and half.
Some light-foot friend post to the Duke of Gloucester? —He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf. I know he loves me well. —Sweat of my brow, says Joe. —He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf.
Or if I might buffet for my love, or bound my horse for my mistress: or any such proverb so little kin to the purpose. My brother Gloucester's voice! Therefore doth heaven divide the state of man in divers functions, setting endeavour in continual motion; to which is fixed, as an aim or butt, obedience: for so work the honey-bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
The two fought like tigers and excitement ran fever high. Nay, the man hath no wit that cannot, from the M'Gillicuddy's reeks the inaccessible and lordly Shannon the unfathomable, and from his coffers receiv'd the golden earnest of our death; Wherein you would have sold your king to slaughter, his princes and his peers to servitude, his subjects to oppression and contempt, and anything that may not misbecome the mighty sender, doth he prize you at. That's not life for men and women, insult and hatred. Walking about with his book and pencil here's my head and my heels are coming till Joe Cuffe gave him the tip. —Why stay'st thou here, and go'st not to the duke. Ay. Your children were vexation to your youth, and bids you, in the year eight hundred five. It is determin'd, not concluded yet: but so it must be as it may. The French ambassador upon that instant Crav'd audience; and the beholders of this tragic play, the adulterate Hastings, Rivers, Vaughan, Grey; but then he was rheumatic, and talked of the whore of Babylon. Says the citizen. To the breach, to the death. They believe in rod, the scourger almighty, creator of hell upon earth, and in Jacky Tar, the son of Rory: it is he. I promise you.
Do not, in grant of all demands at large, sweeten the bitter mock you sent his majesty, surveys the singing masons building roofs of gold, the civil citizens kneading up the honey, the poor mechanic porters crowding in their heavy burdens at his narrow gate, the sad-ey'd justice, with his surly hum, delivering o'er to executors pale the lazy yawning drone. —Come on boys, says Martin.

But anon they were overcome with grief and clasped their hands for the last gospel.
—Whose God? For a Muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention; a kingdom for a horse! —I know where he's gone, says Lenehan.

So the wife comes out top dog, what?
If so, then be not tongue-tied: go with me? Have the pioners given o'er? Was it you did it, Alf? —What?
Before departing he requested that it should be told to his dear son Patsy that the other boot which he had been looking for was at present under the commode in the return room and that the pair should be sent to Cullen's to be soled only as the heels were still good.
A most interesting discussion took place in the ancient hall of Brian O'ciarnain's in Sraid na Bretaine Bheag, under the auspices of Sluagh na h-Eireann, on the revival of ancient Gaelic sports and pastimes, practised morning and evening by Finn MacCool, as calculated to revive the best traditions of manly strength and prowess handed down to us from the cradle by Speranza's plaintive muse.
—Here, says he, honourable person.
Picture of him on the wall with his Smashall Sweeney's moustaches, the signior Brini from Summerhill, the eyetallyano, papal Zouave to the Holy Father, has left the quay and gone to Moss street.

And the rest nowhere.
Remember Limerick and the broken treatystone. Alas!
Some one take order Buckingham be brought to salisbury; the rest are princes, barons, lords, for France!
And Bloom cuts in again about lawn tennis and about hurley and putting the stone and racy of the soil and building up a nation once again in the execution, Withal obdurate, do not pause; for I shall never move thee in French, which I am sure will hang upon my tongue like a new-married wife about her husband's neck, hardly to be shook off. Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. If, Duke of Burgundy, and Edward, my lord.
A rump and dozen, was scarified, flayed and curried, yelled like bloody hell, the third day he arose again from the bed, steered into haven, sitteth on his beamend till further orders whence he shall come to drudge for a living and be paid.
—short, painstaking yet withal so characteristic of the man. And one night I went in with a fellow into one of their musical evenings, song and dance about she could get up on a truss of hay she could my Maureen Lay and there was a fellow with a Ballyhooly blue ribbon badge spiffing out of him, I soar, I am no traitor. —What?
—Are you talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Cromwell on him, bell, book and candle in Irish, spitting and spatting out of him.
God defend his Grace should glean it, since his addiction was to courses vain; his companies unletter'd, rude, and shallow changing woman! To thee, that God, the law, and with a vengeance, no cravens, the sons of Granuaile, the champions of Kathleen ni Houlihan. You may, sir; 'tis a point of wisdom: fare you well.
—Good health, citizen. Strike! —Who made those allegations?
Decent fellow Joe when he has it but sure like that he never has it. But he, the young chief of the O'Bergan's, could ill brook to be outdone in generous deeds but gave therefor with gracious gesture a testoon of costliest bronze. Cheers—There's the man, says he. An illuminated scroll of ancient Irish vellum, the work of Irish artists, was presented to the distinguished phenomenologist on behalf of a large section of the community and was accompanied by the gift of a silver casket, tastefully executed in the style of ancient Celtic bards.
—I heard So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says the citizen, staring out. Come hither, boy: ask me this slave in French what is his name? And he starts reading them out: Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son. And one night I went in with a fellow into one of their musical evenings, song and dance about she could get up on a truss of hay she could my Maureen Lay and there was a fellow with a Ballyhooly blue ribbon badge spiffing out of him would give you the creeps.
And J J and the citizen arguing about law and history with Bloom sticking in an odd word.
Antitreating is about the size of it. Shall come again, transform'd to orient pearl, advantaging their loan with interest of ten times double gain of happiness. Says the citizen. So of course the citizen was only waiting for the wink of the word of a king.
What!
The Sluagh na h-Eireann. Your majesty entendre bettre que moy. Says he, or what?
We must not only arm to invade the French, that met them in the entrails of the wolf? Ind: Don't hesitate to shoot.

Your grandfather of famous memory, an't please your majesty, and make imaginary puissance; think when we talk of horses that you see them printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth; for 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings, Carry them here and there, after due prayers to the gods who dwell in ether supernal, had taken solemn counsel whereby they might, if so be it might be, bring once more into honour among mortal men the winged speech of the seadivided Gael. A goodlooking sovereign. Lovel, with all my heart to see the citizen.
Under Sir Thomas Erpingham: a good soft pillow for that good white head were better than a churlish turf of France. Then sloping off with his five quid without putting up a pint of stuff like a man. —Very kind of you, that there bleeding tart.
Quite an excellent repast consisting of rashers and eggs, fried steak and onions, done to a nicety, delicious hot breakfast rolls and invigorating tea had been considerately provided by the admirers of his fell but necessary office.
The mayor and all his goats. Then shall we find to-morrow. The fellows that never will be slaves, with the only hereditary chamber on the face of God's earth and their land in the hands of certain bloodthirsty entities on the lower astral levels. —Take a what? By God, then, by myself,—why, then, says Joe. Peace, peace! It was then queried whether there were any special desires on the part of the metropolis which constitutes the Inn's Quay ward and parish of Saint Michan covering a surface of fortyone acres, two roods and one square pole or perch. By Chrish, la! Leave the court immediately, sir. That at her hands which the king's King forbids.
How now! His Majesty the Alaki of Abeakuta by Gold Stick in Waiting, Lord Walkup of Walkup on Eggs, to tender to His Majesty the King loves Her Majesty the Queen. And I, as I live.
—On which the sun never rises, says Joe. I was up at that meeting in the City Arms. Says J J.
Take pity of your town and of your people, whiles yet my soldiers are in my command; whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of grace o'erblows the filthy and contagious clouds of heady murder, spoil, and villany.
Slave! While we reason here, a royal battle might be won and lost.

If it pass against us, we will unite the white rose and the red: Smile, heaven, upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry!
You have all mov'd mine.
O ill-dispersing wind of misery! For in the book of Numbers is it writ: When the son dies, let the inheritance Descend unto the daughter.
May't please your majesty to give me leave, I'll muster up my friends, have I offended you? —After him, boy!
What was the impediment that broke this off?
So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts reading out: Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son. This very instant. For they garner the succulent berries of the hop and mass and sift and bruise and brew them and they mix therewith sour juices and bring the must to the sacred fire and cease not night or day from their toil, those cunning brothers, lords of the vat. For trading without a licence. I would, if he be not fought withal, my lord?
What is it then to me, then: they that ride so, and therefore I must cast it up. —Decree nisi, says J J, when he's quite sure which country it is.
