He had outlived his welcome:
he ought to have died
either
naturally or on the scaffold high.
They were like actresses: always giving
farewell performances and never
retiring. |a“M”a| Then as for the sailor Mr
Bloom had heard |aquite recentlya| pretty much
the same |a“F”a| language and he told
Stephen of how he had silenced
the offender
.

— He |awent out of his waya| called me a jew, you see, Mr
Bloom |asaid declareda|. And in an offensive
way. So |awithout deviating 1 iota from the plain facts,a| I
          |asimplya| told him his God was
a jew like me and all his
family were jews. |aI mean Christa| That was
one for him |ain the gizzarda|. He hadn't a word
to say for himself.
