2) And as the buzzer brings the light brigade, keeping the home fires burning, so ^|1|+at the churring call^+|1| did ^|+1they themselves^+|1| come from all ^|1|+their cardinal^+|1| parts by the first quaint skreek of the gloaming ^|1|+along the amber way ^|aby furzy Brosna^a|+|1|, hopping it up the mountainy molehill, traversing climes of the days gone by, of the times not worth remembering, inventing some excuses, anyone, with a sevenply sweat of nightfears ^|+1over moist upon^+|1| them — phopho, foorchtha, aggala, jeeshee, palloola, ooridiminy. for For afeard they were ^|+1of to wonder at^+|1| the kind of chap he was, ells upon ells of him, making so many square feet of him, at one foul stretch ^|1|+|athe half of him in Conn's half & the whole of him in Owen's five quarters,^a| chained down upon a bed of flowers^+|1| among the daffydowndillies, a halohedge of wild spuds hovering over him, mixodorian, epicures & gardenfillers, a pair of puritan shoots and a posse of Aran chiefs. Phopho! The meteorflesh of him, the ^|+1rainbowskin ^|a|bforbidden seamless^b|a| rainbowpeel^+|1|! Aggala! His bellyvoid of nebulose and his neverstop navel! Palloola! And his veins ^|+1of shooting^+|1| melanite phosphor ^|1|+and his ^|acreamy cumulous creamcumuling^a| comet's hair^+|1| and his arrowroot knuckles, ribs & members! Oorirididimininy! His electro lattiginous twisted entrail belt!

3) The four claymen clomb together to hold their sworn inquiry on him. Up to ^|1|+the^+|1| Esker ridge it was, ^|1|+near Mullingar^+|1| to the mead that was near, the son's rest. The names on them were these. First clomb Matthew Gregory, through the ^|+1deep field, deep timefield:^+|1| Marcus Lyons, tailing the wavy line of his partition footsteps (his blisters told him how he had been there before): then His Recordership, Luke Tarpey, ^|1|+hot on the aniseed^+|1| after honourable sleep; and last from his prompt corner, old Johnny Mac, MacDougall, the hiker, in their rere and on the run, to make a quorum. Roping their ass he was, the skygrey globetrotting, by way of an afterthought, and the legs on him they were that uneven it was tumbling he was by ^|+1their 4^+|1| lengths to hear with the unaided ear the harp in the air, wild as wild, the bugle dianablowing, the mockingbird whose word is misfortune, so 'tis said, the bulbul down the wind.

4) The proto was traipsing then through the tangle then and his station was ^|+1to a few perch^+|1| the weatherside of the knoll ^|1|+of Usnach^+|1| and it was from there he extended aloft the hand of silence. The buckos on the lee then stood wherever they found their standings, and set the watch about him, with their broadawake probers' hats on their firrum heads, and a crack quatyouare of stenoggers they made together, ^|+1with having^+|1| their as beast by them, the odd trick of the pack. ^|1|+Yawn was before them all of asprawl and I will tell you more than that he was profoundly asleep^+|1| And it was more similar to a satrap he lay there surrounded by satellites or the Lord Lumen, instructing his constellations in faith and doctrine for old Matt Gregory, 'tis he had the star menagerie starmenagerie, Marcus Lyons and Lucas Metcalfe and the mack that never forgave the ass that lurked behind him, Johnny na Hossaleen.

More than half ensorcelled you would say they were ^|1|+they couldn't tell ^|aa their^a| heel from ^|aa stool their stools^a|+|1| as they cooched down ^|1|+by his blank crib^+|1|, curchy curchy, ^|1|+gawking on him^+|1| and softnoising ^|1|+orderly^+|1| one to another one, the ^|+1boghuaquisthers boghuaqueesthers^+|1|. And. ^|1|+So they began to say to him what way was he:^+|1|
