|2|ariver riverrunº a|2| brings us back to
Howth Castle &º Environs.º Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passencore rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war:º nor had |2stream topsawyer's2| rocks by the |2stream2| Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens |2County, Georgia, County's gorgiosº2| while they went doublin |2their mumper2| all the time:º nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to tauftauf thuartpeatrick: not yet, though venisoonº after, had a kidscad buttended a bland old isaac:º not yet, though all's fair in vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone |2Joenathan nathandjoe2|. Rot a peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the waterface.
The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk!)º of
a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later on life down through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the offwall entailed at such short notice the schute of Finnigan, erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly
sendsº an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his tumptytumtoes: and their upturnpikepointandplace is at the knock out in the park where oranges have been laid toº rust upon the green since
Devlins firstº loved livy.

|2Bygmister Bygmester2| Finneganº, of the
Stuttering Hand, freemen's maurer, lived in the broadest way immarginable in his rushlit toofarback for messuages and during mighty odd years this man of hod, cement and edifices in Toper's

Of the first was he to bare arms and a name. His crest of huroldry, in vert with ancillars, troublant, argent, a hegoak, poursuivant, horrid, horned.

What then agentlike brought about |2that tragoady |athundersday thuddersdayºa|2| this

What a warm time we were in there but how keling is here the airabouts! And such reasonable weather too! The |2wind's wind'z awalt'z2| aroundº the |2downs piltdowns2| and on every blasted knollyrock there's that gnarlybird ygathering, a runalittle, doalittle, preealittle, pouralittle, wipealittle, kicksalittle, severalittle, eatalittle, whinealittle, kenalittle, |2helpalittle helfalittle2|, pelfalittle gnarlybird. She nivverº comes out when Thon's on shower or when Thon's flash with the Nixy girls or when Thon's blowing toomcracks down the gaels of Thon. Her would be too moochy aveerd. She jest does hopes till byes will be byes. Here, and it goes on to appear now, she comes, aº peacefugle, a parody's bird, a peri potmother, picking here, pecking there, pussypussy plunderpussy. But it's the armitides toonigh and toomourn we wish for a muddy kissmans |2to the minutia workers2| and there'sº to be a gorgeups truce forº all the childers. She's burrowed the coacher's lamp the better to pry and all spoiled goods go into her nabsack: curtrages and rattlin buttins, nappy spattees and flasks of all nations, clavicures and scampulars, maps, keys and woodpiles of haypennies and moonled brooches with bloostanedº breeks in em andº boaston nightgarters and masses of shoesets and nickelly nacks and fodderº allmicheal and a lugly parson of cates and howitzer muchearsº and midgers and maggets, wells and wails,º and the last sigh that come fro the hart and the fairest sin the sun sawº. With Kiss. Kiss Criss. Cross Criss. Kiss Cross. Undo lives' endº. Slain.º
How bootifull and how truetowife of her, when strengly forebidden, to steal our historic presents from the past postpropheticals so as
|2to willº2| make us all |2lord heirs
lordyheirsº2| and ladymaidesses of a pretty nice kettle of fruit. She is livving in our midst of debt and laffing
|2unto tears through all plores2| for us
|2(her birth is uncontrollable!),º2| with a naperon for her mask and her sabboes kickin arias,º if you ask me and I saack you. Hou!
{f10, 10}
hou! Gricks may rise andº Troysirs fall (there being two sights for ever a picture)
{f39, 12}
for in the byways of high improvidence that's what makesº lifework leaving and the world's a cell for citters to |2sit cit2| in. Let young wimman run away
with the story and let young min talk smooth behind the butteler's back. Sheº knows her knight's duty while Luntum sleeps. Did ye save any tin? says he. Did I what? with a grin says she. And we all like a marriedann because she is
mercenary. Though the length of the land lies under liquidation |2(floote!) and there's nare a hairbrow nor an |aeyebusch
eyebruschºa| on |athe face this |bglaubrousb|
phacea| of Herrschuft Whatarwelter2| she'll loan a vesta and hire some peat and sarch the shores
|2for her2| cockles to |2eat
heat2| and she'll do all a turfwoman can to piff the business on. Paff. To puff the blaziness on. Puffpuff. And even if Humpty
|2were to shell2| fall frumpty times as awkward again there'll be iggs for the
brekkers come to mournhim|2, sunnyº side up with care2|. So true is it that therewhere's a turnover
the tay is |2there wet2| too and when you think you ketch sight of a hind make sure |2you're
not but you're2| cocked by a hin.
Then as she is on her behaviourite job we may take our review of the two mounds,º to see nothing of the himples here as at elsewhere, by sixes and sevens, like so many heegills and collinesº sitting around,
scentbreeched and somepotreek,º in their swishawish satins and their taffetaffe tights, at a treepurty in the
purk. Stand up, mickies! Make stray for minnies! By order, Nicholas Proud. We may see and hear nothing if we choose of the shortlegged bergins off Corkhill or the bergamoors of Arbourhill or the bergagambols of
Summerhill or the bergincellies of Miseryhill or the countrybossed bergones of Constitutionhill though every crowd has its several tones and every |2tone trade2| has its clever mechanics and each harmonical
has a point of its own, Olaf's on the |2right rise2| and Ivor's on the lift
and Sitric's place's between them. But all they are all there scraping along |2for a livelihood to to sneeze out a likelihood that will2|
solve and salve life's robulous rebus, hopping round his middle like kippers on a griddle, O, as he lays dormont from the |2macroberg
macroborg2| of Holdhard to the microbirg of Pied des Poudres. |2Hic cubat edilis. Apud libertinam parvulam.2| Behove this

So This Is Dyoublong?
Hush! Caution! Echoland!
How charmingly exquisite! It reminds you of the outwashed engravure that we used to be blurring on the blotchwall of his innkempt house. Used they? (I am sure that tiring chabelshoveller with the mujikal chocolotº box, Miry Mitchel,
is listening.)º I say, the remains of the outworn gravemure
{f10, 11}
where used to be blurried the Ptollmens of the Incabus. Used we? (He is only pretendant to be stugging at the jubalee harp from a second existed lishener, Fiery Farrelly.)º It is well known. Lookº for himself and see the

Four things therefore, saith our herodotary Mammon Lujius in his grand old historiorum,º wrote near Boriorum, bluest book in |2race's baile's2| annals, f.t. in Dyfflinarskyº ne'er sall fail til heathersmoke and cloudweed Eire's ile sall pall.

It was of a night, late, lang time agone, in an auldstane eld, when Adam
{f10, 17}
was delvin and his madameen spinning watersilts, when |2big mountin mulk
mountynotty2| man was everybully and the first leal ribberrobber |2that ever had her ain
way ainway2| everybuddy elseº to his makin eyes and whenº everybilly lived alove with everybiddy
elseº and Jarl van Hoother had his burnt head high up in his lamphouse, laying cold hands on himself. And his two little jiminies, cousins of oursº, Tristopher and Hilary, wereº kickaheeling their dummy on the oilclothº flure of his homerigh,
castle and earthenhouse. And, be dermot, who come to the keep of his inn only the |2niece of his
niece-of-his-in-law2|, the prankquean. And the prankquean pulled a rosy one and made her
wit forenenstº the dour. And she lit up |2and fireland was ablaze2|. And spoke she to the dour in her petty
perusienne: Mark the Wans, why do I am alook alike a poss of porterpease? And that was how the skirtmisshes began. But the dour handworded her grace in
dootch nossow: Shut! So her grace o'malice kidsnapped up the jiminy Tristopher and into the shandy westerness she rain, rain, rain. And Jarl van Hoother
warlessed after her with soft dovesgall: Stop deef stop come back to my earin stop. But she swaradid to him: Unlikelihud. And there was a brannewwailº that same
sabbaothº night of falling angles somewhere in Erio. And the prankquean went for her forty years' walk in
Tourlemonde and she washed the blessings of the lovespots off the jiminy with soap |2sulliver's
sulliver2| suddlesº and she had her four owlers masters for to tauch him his tickles and she convorted him to the
onesure allgood and he became a luderman. So then she started to rain and to rain and, be redtom, she was back again at Jarl van Hoother's in a brace of samers and the jiminy with her in her
pinafrond, lace at night, at another time. And where did she come but to the bar of his bristolry. And Jarl vanº Hoother had his baretholobruised heels drowned in his
cellarmalt, shaking warm hands with himself,º and the jiminyº Hilaryº and
{f39, 22}
the dummy in their first infancy were below on the tearsheet, wringing and coughing, like brodar and histher. And the prankquean nipped a paly one and lit up again and |2redcocks flew
|aup flackeringa| from the hillcombs. And2| she made her
witter before the wicked, saying: Mark the Twy, who do I am alook alike two poss of porterpease? And: Shut!º says the wicked, handwording her madesty. So her madesty
a'forethoughtº set down a jiminy and took up a jiminy and all the lilipath ways to Woeman's Land she rain, rain, rain. And
|2the2| Jarl vanº Hoother bleethered atter her with a loud finegale: Stop domb stop come back with my earring stop. But the prankquean
swaradid: Am liking it. And there was a wild old grannewwail that altarsameº laurency night of starshootings
somewhere in Erio. And the prankquean went for her forty years' walk in |2blank
Turnlemeem2| and she punched the curses of cromcruwell with the nail of a top into the jiminy and she had her four larksical monitrix
{f10, 18}
to tauchº him his tears and she |2convorted provorted2| him to the onecertain
allsecureº and he became a tristian. So then she started raining, raining, and in a pair of changers, be dom ter, she was back again at Jarl vanº Hoother's and the
Larryhillº with her under her abromette. And why would she halt at all if not by the ward of his mansionhome of another nice lace for the third charm? And Jarl vanº Hoother had his hurricane hips up to his pantrybox, ruminating in his holdfour stomachs (Dare! O dare!), and the jiminy Toughertrees and the dummy were
belove on the watercloth, kissing and spitting, and roguing and poghuing, like knavepaltry and naivebride and in their second infancy. And the prankquean
picked a blank and lit out and |2the valleys lay twinkling. And2| she made her
wittest in front of the arkway of trihump, asking: Mark the Tris, why do I am alook alike three poss of porterpeaseº? But that was how the
skirtmisshesº endupped. For,º like the campbells acoming with a |2lance
forklanceº2| of lightning, Jarl vanº Hoother |2Boanerges2| himself, the old terror of the dames, came hip hop
handihap out through the |2opened pikeopened2| arkway of his three shuttoned castlesº in his broadginger hat and his
civic chollar and his allabuff |2shurt hemmedº2|
like a rudd yellan gruebleen orangeman in his violet indigonation, to the whole longth of the strongth of his bowman's bill. And he clopped his rude hand to his eacy hitch and he ordered and his thick
|2spuck spuck spch spck2| for her to shut up shop, dammy. And the dummy shot the shutter up.º
(gokgorlayorrgromgremmitghundhurthrumathunaradidillifaititillibumullunukkunen!)º
And they all drank free. |2For one man in his armour |ais wasa| a
|agood fata| match always for any girls under |askirts
shurtsa|.2| And that was the first peace of illiterativeº porthery in |2the
whole all the2| flamend floodyº flatuous world. The prankquean was to hold her dummyship and the jiminiesº
was to keep the peacewave and van Hoother was to git the wind up. Thus the hearsomeness of the burger felicitates the whole of the polis.
