— Rather lowsized, Dignam of Menton's office that was, Martin Cunningham said.

cf Simon's "low blackguardism"?


Long John Fanning could not remember him.



Clatter of horsehoofs sounded from the air.



— What's that? Martin Cunningham said.



All turned where they stood. John Wyse Nolan came down again. From the cool shadow of the doorway he saw the horses pass Parliament street, harness and glossy pasterns in sunlight shimmering. Gaily they went past before his cool unfriendly eyes, not quickly. In saddles of the leaders, leaping leaders, rode outriders.

cf Dilly's "sunshades spanned and wheelspokes spinning in the glare"

(isn't "Gaily" surprising?)

if they're leaders how can they be outriders too? [more]

p243: "Beyond Lundy Foot's from the shaded door of Kavanagh's winerooms John Wyse Nolan smiled with unseen coldness towards the lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of Ireland."


— What was it? Martin Cunningham asked, as they went on up the staircase.



— The lord lieutenant general and general governor of Ireland, John Wyse Nolan answered from the stairfoot.

(is this respectful or disrespectful?)

As they trod across the thick carpet Buck Mulligan whispered behind his Panama to Haines:

(why is panama capitalised?)

we last saw these two at the end of the last chapter in the Library. how did their path not parallel Stephen's?


— Parnell's brother. There in the corner.

They chose a small table near the window, opposite a longfaced man whose beard and gaze hung intently down on a chessboard.

this image seemed to intrude on Lambert and Love before Kitty de-twigs: "From a long face a beard and gaze hung on a chessboard."
the cavalcade will pass them around 3:40


— Is that he? Haines asked, twisting round in his seat.

who talks like this besides professional grammarians and posers?


— Yes, Mulligan said. That's John Howard, his brother, our city marshal.



John Howard Parnell translated a white bishop quietly and his grey claw went up again to his forehead whereat it rested. An instant after, under its screen, his eyes looked quickly, ghostbright, at his foe and fell once more upon a working corner.

he's about 60yo [pics]


— I'll take a mélange, Haines said to the waitress.



— Two mélanges, Buck Mulligan said. And bring us some scones and butter and some cakes as well.

he's ordering but Haines is paying


When she had gone he said, laughing:



— We call it D.B.C. because they have damn bad cakes. O, but you missed Dedalus on Hamlet.

bad cakes compared to... Oxford???

why does BM only bring up SD now? what else have they been talking about?


Haines opened his newbought book.

They followed round the corner towards James Kavanagh's winerooms. The empty castle car fronted them at rest in Essex gate. Martin Cunningham, speaking always, showed often the list at which Jimmy Henry did not glance.

The tall form of Long John Fanning filled the doorway where he stood.



— Good day, Mr Subsheriff, Martin Cunningham said, as all halted and greeted.



Long John Fanning made no way for them. He removed his large Henry Clay decisively and his large fierce eyes scowled intelligently over all their faces.



— Are the conscript fathers pursuing their peaceful deliberations? he said with rich acrid utterance to the assistant town clerk.

conscript fathers


Hell open to christians they were having, Jimmy Henry said pettishly, about their damned Irish language. Where was the marshal, he wanted to know, to keep order in the council chamber. And old Barlow the macebearer laid up with asthma, no mace on the table, nothing in order, no quorum even and Hutchinson, the lord mayor, in Llandudno and little Lorcan Sherlock doing locum tenens for him. Damned Irish language, language of our forefathers.

Long John Fanning blew a plume of smoke from his lips.



Martin Cunningham spoke by turns, twirling the peak of his beard, to the assistant town clerk and the subsheriff, while John Wyse Nolan held his peace.

MC twirled his beard in the funeral carriage too


— What Dignam was that? Long John Fanning asked.



Jimmy Henry made a grimace and lifted his left foot.



— O, my corns! he said plaintively. Come upstairs for goodness' sake till I sit down somewhere. Uff! Ooo! Mind!



Testily he made room for himself beside Long John Fanning's flank and passed in and up the stairs.



— Come on up, Martin Cunningham said to the subsheriff. I don't think you knew him or perhaps you did, though.

(cf Lambert to O'Molloy re abbey 10min earlier?)


With John Wyse Nolan Mr Power followed them in.



— Decent little soul he was, Mr Power said to the stalwart back of Long John Fanning ascending towards Long John Fanning in the mirror.

He turned to both.

cf p227: "eyes bleared with old rheum"


— What few days? he boomed. Hasn't your landlord distrained for rent?



— He has, Father Cowley said.



— Then our friend's writ is not worth the paper it's printed on, Ben Dollard said. The landlord has the prior claim. I gave him all the particulars. 29 Windsor avenue. Love is the name?

intrusion-source 14Si1:

— Hello, Simon, Father Cowley said. How are things?
— Hello, Bob, old man, Mr Dedalus answered, stopping.

this meeting intruded on Tom Kernan (one mile west) shortly after Kernan intruded on Simon and Dilly, so it should be almost immediately after that 11DD. in a moment, Hugh Love will intrude here from shortly after Lynch's Kitty intruded on Ned Lambert, which must be some undetermined time before Conmee intrudes on Stephen at the bookshop, which is just before Dilly shows up, so the time from Kitty to Donnycarney is approximately equal to the time it takes Dilly to reach Clohissey's from Dillon's. [yikes!]


They clasped hands loudly outside Reddy and Daughter's. Father Cowley brushed his moustache often downward with a scooping hand.

— What's the best news? Mr Dedalus said.



— Why then not much, Father Cowley said. I'm barricaded up, Simon, with two men prowling around the house trying to effect an entrance.



— Jolly, Mr Dedalus said. Who is it?



— O, Father Cowley said. A certain gombeen man of our acquaintance.

moneylender (RJ Dodd)


— With a broken back, is it? Mr Dedalus asked.



— The same, Simon, Father Cowley answered. Reuben of that ilk. I'm just waiting for Ben Dollard. He's going to say a word to Long John to get him to take those two men off. All I want is a little time.



He looked with vague hope up and down the quay, a big apple bulging in his neck.



— I know, Mr Dedalus said, nodding. Poor old bockedy Ben! He's always doing a good turn for someone. Hold hard!

lame (clumsy?)


He put on his glasses and gazed towards the metal bridge an instant.



— Here he is, by God, he said, arse and pockets.



Ben Dollard's loose blue cutaway and square hat above large slops crossed the quay in full gait from the metal bridge. He came towards them at an amble, scratching actively behind his coattails.

porkpie??


As he came near Mr Dedalus greeted:


— Hold that fellow with the bad trousers.



— Hold him now, Ben Dollard said.



Mr Dedalus eyed with cold wandering scorn various points of Ben Dollard's figure. Then, turning to Father Cowley with a nod, he muttered sneeringly:

— That's a pretty garment, isn't it, for a summer's day?

just a moment ago Simon was praising him behind his back


— Why, God eternally curse your soul, Ben Dollard growled furiously, I threw out more clothes in my time than you ever saw.



He stood beside them beaming on them first and on his roomy clothes from points of which Mr Dedalus flicked fluff, saying:



— They were made for a man in his health, Ben, anyhow.

roomy, too big

pseudo-intrusion 13SD43:

Father Conmee, having read his little hours, walked through the hamlet of Donnycarney, murmuring vespers.

streetview now
1909 map
3 miles northeast

this should be shortly after we left him with Lynch and Kitty, though he's progressed north some ways. it would have been early for vespers, but he probably kept reading from momentum...?


Binding too good probably. What is this? Eighth and ninth book of Moses. Secret of all secrets. Seal of King David. Thumbed pages: read and read. Who has passed here before me? How to soften chapped hands. Recipe for white wine vinegar. How to win a woman's love. For me this. Say the following talisman three times with hands folded:

"Binding too good" ...to be with these cheap titles?


Se el yilo nebrakada femininum! Amor me solo! Sanktus! Amen.



Who wrote this? Charms and invocations of the most blessed abbot Peter Salanka to all true believers divulged. As good as any other abbot's charms, as mumbling Joachim's. Down, baldynoddle, or we'll wool your wool.



— What are you doing here, Stephen?



Dilly's high shoulders and shabby dress.

since we saw her with Simon, she's crossed the river and bought a book, so this is after Simon's subsection below (1/5 mi = 4min, plus bookbuying).

"high shoulders" = not slouching now?


Shut the book quick. Don't let see.



— What are you doing? Stephen said.



A Stuart face of nonesuch Charles, lank locks falling at its sides. It glowed as she crouched feeding the fire with broken boots. I told her of Paris. Late lieabed under a quilt of old overcoats, fingering a pinchbeck bracelet, Dan Kelly's token. Nebrakada femininum.




the domestic scene would have been during their mother's illness (probably before her death). burning boots would stink. dan kelly sounds like a sweetheart of dilly's. (joyce may be mentioning the sweetheart to reassure us it wasn't an incestuous lieabed.)


— What have you there? Stephen asked.



— I bought it from the other cart for a penny, Dilly said, laughing nervously. Is it any good?



she probably didn't want to pay the halfpenny toll (stopping at the cart under Merchant's arch?) instead using O'Connell bridge. we know that "The gates of the drive opened wide" for the cavalcade just before Lenehan saw Bloom, and it "passed... out of Parkgate" before Dilly and Simon parted.


My eyes they say she has. Do others see me so? Quick, far and daring. Shadow of my mind.



He took the coverless book from her hand. Chardenal's French primer.

[ebook]



— What did you buy that for? he asked. To learn French?



She nodded, reddening and closing tight her lips.



Show no surprise. Quite natural.



— Here, Stephen said. It's all right. Mind Maggy doesn't pawn it on you. I suppose all my books are gone.



— Some, Dilly said. We had to.



She is drowning. Agenbite. Save her. Agenbite. All against us. She will drown me with her, eyes and hair. Lank coils of seaweed hair around me, my heart, my soul. Salt green death.



We.

the sisters supporting each other, without Stephen or Simon



Agenbite of inwit. Inwit's agenbite.



Misery! Misery!

neither Stephen nor Bloom interacts with the cavalcade (do they?)

Staring backers with square hats stood round the roped prizering. The heavyweights in tight loincloths proposed gently each to other his bulbous fists. And they are throbbing: heroes' hearts.

"shoulderblade" = resting it on his shoulder?
