What course did Bloom and Stephen follow on their homeward way?

Lower and Middle Gardiner street they followed till Mountjoy square west and then bore left along Gardiner's Place and took Temple street on their right ^|1from the farther corner by an inadvertence as far as blank^1|. They crossed the circus before George's church diametrically towards Eccles street to shorten their journey, the chord in any circle being lesser than the arc which it subtends.

^|1Did Bloom like Eccles street?

He disliked to meet anywhere or at any time dwellers in it ^|aduring his perambulations^a|, he remembered Lombard street west and old friends no longer so since marriage & since he moved to the north side, yet ^|ahe comforted himself by remembering that^a| in no 67 Isaac Butt had lived and the ^|aoldtime^a| bells of George's Church (bells of George's) often calmed him.^1|

^|1Why did Bloom whistle? Bloom whistled^1| softly when they halted^|1?^1| before his housesteps at number 7 Eccles street?

^|1Not to call attention but because He was locked out^1| on putting his hand ^|1mechanically^1| into ^|1the his^1| ba hip pocket ^|1of his mourning trousers^1| he discovered that he had forgotten his latchkey in the corresponding pocket of the trousers which he had left off ^|1though he had at least three times reminded himself not to forget to change it,^1|

How did they enter the house?

By this stratagem. Bloom, not wishing to alarm his wife, climbed over the area railings. He secured his hat on his head and ^|1grasping the lower rails under blank^1| gently lowered himself to the full extent of his five feet nine inches to within two feet eight inches of the area flags. Taking breath he allowed himself to drop by his ten stone four weight ^|1per weighing machine of — McConnell, pharmaceutical chemists the preceding Easter eve, (periodic selfweighing being his habit^1|), crouching on all fours to break the fall. He then rose, lifted up the latch of the areadoor and made his way in to the kitchen where he lit the gas and, husbanding the same match, a candle also.

Where was Stephen meanwhile?

On the footpath looking down. He saw Bloom make light in the ^|1kitchen basement^1| and beckon and then saw him unlace and put off him off his boots and then leave the kitchen, holding the candle in a stick.

What happened after this?

after this ^|1Some few minutes^1| Stephen saw a glimmer on the fanlight over Bloom's halldoor. The halldoor ^|1opened swung ajar^1| on its hinges slowly and Bloom, without his hat and with his candlestick, appeared in the opening and said Sst! to enter.

What was his ultimate ambition?

No great demesne ^|1of so and so many acres roods and perches^1| or baronial hall ^|1with gatelodge & drive^1| with boards groaning under viands nor yet a terrace house or semidetached villa. He desired ^|1to purchase by private treaty in fee simple^1| a thatched dwellinghouse ^|1|aof a southerly aspect^a| with ivied or Virginiacreepered porch ^|aat Dundrum or Sutton, reputed like the ^|bexact^b| South Pole, mild and soothing climates for chest troubles^a|1| standing in five acres of its own grounds ^|1the Bungalow^1| and situated not more than ten minutes from rail or trainline, the premises to be held under feefarm grant, lease 999 years and rising if possible upon a gentle eminence. The house to contain 1 sitting, 3 bedrooms, drawingroom, hot and cold bath, watercloset and outoffices, lounge hall fitted with linen ^|1wall^1| press ^|1dinner gong^1| and cosy corner fitments, tiled kitchen ^|1with close range & gas throughout^1|. In time he hoped to have a rabbitry and fowlrun, a vegetable plot, containing plenty of kitchen stuff ^|1and a waterbutt^1|, even scarletcrowned rhubarb, and a mellowtoned Japanese bell on the gate. ^|1Lilac and laburnum trees shading a sundial.^1| Then, if all went well, ^|1winebin for distinguished guests^1| a donkey and wicker trap ^|1or a good working mare^1|.

{ms, 3}

(U84 17.1754-1758)

Did he believe that one day all this would be his?

Hardly. But ^|1It was one of his tried maxims^1| pleasant reflections ^|1or telling himself a story^1| before sleeping ^|1to dream & remember the past^1| were with him a cultivated habit as bringing after them a good night's rest.

^|1Of one life of 3 score & ten years twenty years being passed in sleep, ^|aa dangerous region of terrors and follies. Once he He had waked and not known his room. Once his sleeping body had risen and crawled towards the hearth to lie there and waken. He feared to do murder or selfmurder in sleep^a|1|

^|1and at the end of one's life he felt ^|aas a philosopher^a| only a ^|ainfinitesimal^a| part of one's wishes was fulfilled^1|

What was to be the name of this country seat?

{ms, 3v}

^|1Could he foresee himself?

Doubtful. ^|aEspecially after the summer solstice when ^|adays nights^a| grew longer. It was a problem what to do with our wives^a|1|

(U84 17.1137-1145)

^|1How were his thoughts?

That it was a Utopia, ^|anew worlds for old,^a| that humanity if it was different there ^|aa question he had often asked himself^a| was not if the same nature and life there ^|a|xor older as Mars^{x|a| |a|x}A past ^|ahas been^a| which perhaps no longer existed ^|athough its rays of light were visible^{a|x| |x}more dead or lifeless than living^x|a| vanity of vanities.^1|

(U84 absent)

^|1|xSo?

The stars, speckling the sky, were beautiful yet they could not see themselves any more than the girl Gerty could see what she let him see, pleasures being divided, man not knowing the pleasure of hair combing, woman not knowing the luxury of a cool shave.^x|1|

(U84 17.993-1010)

It was a task for a higher intelligence as he did not know exactly what to suggest.^1|

Wait up to see daybreak, a phenomenon he had not seen since but once a quarter of a century before when he had sat on a garden wall after a party to see it the diffusion of light ^|asheet^a| the more active air, a cock the boots of an early riser, the first limb of the sun lower in the east^1|

A prize of 10/-, 5/-, and 2/6d had been offered by the Shamrock. His verses had been written for the occasion.^1|

What were those final lines?

An ambition to squint
At my verses in print
Makes me hope that for these you'll find room.
But if you do condescend
Why then place at the end
The name of yours truly, L. Bloom.

(U84 17.1242-1248)

What did he heard as he stood?

Bootsoles on the flags of the hollow lane, twanging a fourfold al four, the scale of a jew's harp. ^|1sound of the lane^1|

And see?

(U84 17.1157-1170)

How did he speak of the moon?

As an older colder world ^|1which some races of men perhaps had never seen,^{1| |1}a cemetery as the earth wd be ^|ain the future^a| — air — water^1|, of hills and ^|1waterless seas^1| craters named after ours by false analogy. Yet the lunar influence he admitted, the lake of dreams, the seas of rains and mists, the gulf of dews, and on women chiefly, the sea of fecundity. He did not believe in her inconstancy. She rose and set, waxed and waned at her appointed times. Her aspect never varied was not variable.

(U84 17.561-575)

Had he ^|1|xa child of a race which had invented everything, a Mendelssohn, the composer of the, Mendoza the boxer, Spinoza, the philosopher,^x|1| also kindergarten schemes?

What ^|1ways other shortcuts^1| to riches did he think of?

???

He reproached himself, remembering the old man ^|1when drugs ^|aresorted to against neuralgia^a| had begun their work,^1| with his dog in bed, ^|1his head^1| covered, sighing and his youthful sallies against the law of ^|1the RB's^1| race ^|1which, after Heine, he had called a waste of time not a religion^{1| |1}his jibes at the noneating of milk & meat at 1 meal. All he had reproached himself with when in Ennis ^|xthat he had taken off his boots^x| he bent and kissed a wrinkled selfkilled face ^|astreaked with poison^a|1|.

How were his table manners

He ate often behatted. If he liked it he drank from the saucer the juice of stewed gooseberries or stewed plums. He ^|1cleaned napkined^1| his lips sometimes in an old envelope or piece of paper ^|1for which purpose it was not intended^1|. Sometimes ^|1if repleted^1|, with advancing years more frequently, he belched. ^|1|xHe scouped coins slowly from his palm, counting change for him.^x|1|

Having replaced her letter did he feel remorse ^|1of conscience^1|.

No, he ^|1suspected knew^1| that there ^|1were might^1| one or two secrets on the other side which would be told ^|1him a husband^1| triumphantly in ^|1years time to come ^|a20 years after^a|1| when then irreparable. So none. He remembered from the day the eye of a wife, a maid, a nurse, in which his face & form had found favour. Naughty Henry ^|1He could still pass time not immediately test his powers of virile fascination at a private dinner in a private room and after with an elegant whore?^1|
{ms, 005}

(U84 17.674-697)

Was she often in need of his instruction?

She was weak in the multiplication ^|1tables tablebook^1| when the washerwoman came ^|1asking him, for example, how much 5/- and 1/3 made^1|. She understood little of foreign political relations. She believed, till corrected, that alias was a person in the scriptures.
{ms, 004v}

Had he remedied this ^|1thereafter^1|?

Variously. By leaving about in conspicuous places at a book open, at a conspicuous place, by indirect allusion, by scoffing at another's (her) ignorance, by indirect suggestion, buying her a new ^|1dressy^1| hat that she might take her umbrella which she hated but then did.

Only of Sinbad the sailor?

No, ^|1watching ^|aintermittently^a| the flickering ^|aring circle^a| of light & shadow upon the ceiling and remembering ^|aever always^a| more faintly what was said about a country important because it you it belonged to someone,^1| also of Jinbad the jailer and Tinbad the tailor and Ninbad the nailer and Binbad the bailer and Finbad the Failer and Minbad the mailer, and Pinbad the pailer and Rinbad the railer and Whinbad the Whaler and Sinbad the sailor ^|1and Binbad the Tailor and Finbad the Lailer and Quinquad the Phthailer^1|.

Kolod balejwaw pnimah

Nefesch, jehudi, homijah.

He did not end?

No. ^|1He forgot it in part.^1| Mentioning that the Thora was said to be dictated so rapidly that Moses could not put in the stops he expounded the sense of the words. That Israel was not yet lost. That she had hope yet to go back to the land where David's house shone.
{ms, 005v}

(U84 17.1070-1082)

Did he work out the sums?

To what end ^|1if not lunacy^1|. ^|1Though quick at long tots^1| He had once vainly tried to solve the problem of the quadrature of the circle and had learned that there were numbers ^|1computed to be^1| so great that scarcely 33 closeprinted volumes ^|1of quires & reams of India paper^1| could contain their integers, for example, the ninth power of the ninth power of nine.

(U84 17.1933-1947)

What did he foresee for himself if that stay failed him?

^|1Beggary Beggary, hawking trinkets as in early youth^1| in Dublin from pillar to post ^|1with all vagrants, the maimed ^|alying^a| sailor, the blind beggar, the bailiff 's man, the ^|acollector the ^|bman dun^b| for the recovery of^a| of bad & doubtful debts, the dun the poor rate & deputy cess collector^1|, the mockery of former women friends, the gibes of the common herd, broken bread to eat ^|1or living on samples ^|aof?^a| as in Holles street^1|, old friends avoiding him, the yelping of ^|1cur dogs scabby curs^1|, a cabbagestump hurled at him by urchins from a lane.

(U84 17.1744-1751)

Possible, though problematic, ^|1with if^1| the aid of rich financiers such as the Rothschilds, Guggenheims, ^|1Hirsches Hirsch^1|, ^|1Montefiores Montefiore^1|, Blum Pascha, possessing fortunes in six figures, were given the thing required was done.
{ms, 6v-7}

(U84 17.1274-1278)

And when he opened the door?

What?

^|1A An infinitesimal but sensible^1| fraction of a second later a painful impression was transmitted and duly registered as located on the left temple.

(U84 17.509-524)

What were these ^|1indoor^1| exercises?

They were designed for business men ^|1& those engaged in sedentary occupations^1| to be made with concentration of mind before a mirror, bringing into play the various families of muscles, producing at first a pleasant stiffness.

Had he any special powers?

^|1Though ringweight lifting was beyond his strength^1| As a boy at High school on the parallel bars he had excelled in the half lever movement in virtue of his abdominal muscles.

(U84 17.123-133)

What did he do?

He raked the ashes from the grate, set two chains by the hearthstone and built up a pyre of crosslaid sticks and paper with an irregular polygon of Flower and M'Donald's ^|1of d'Olier Street^{1| |1}best^1| Abram coal ^|1at 21/-^1| which he then kindled at two projecting wasptails.

^|1And then?

He removed the lipped saucepan to the left hob and set the kettle on the pyre of the fire^1|

(U84 17.446-461)

^|1And his thought?

Of their ages respectively.^1|

Wd they ever have the same age?

Neither would Stephen ^|1at any time now^1| have Bloom's age then nor Bloom then Stephen's now. ^|1Sixteen years before in 1888 Bloom was of Stephen's present age which sixteen years later ^|ain 1920^a| when Stephen would be as old as Bloom now was Bloom would be double Stephen's present age with ten years added.^1|

(U84 17.527-531)

Did Stephen LB he was a jew?

^|1The idea of an idea.^1| He knew that he knew that he knew

(U84 17.1203-1209)

^|1and he thought of the circumcision of Jesus and of his divine foreskin in Calcata, the carnal bridal ring of the church, worthy of the 4th degree of latria ^|anot of hyperduly^a| with his hair and toenail parings^1|

(U84 17.657-673)

^|1What Did any^1| problem specially exercise his mind?

What to do with our wives.

His solutions?

Were hypothetical. Tandem cycle rides ^|1to points on the periphery of Dublin^1|, mandoline & guitar duets, ^|1scrivenery, addressing envelopes for payment,^1| biweekly visits to the Tivoli and Empire musichalls, ^|1|xor a cool dairy or a warm cigardivan^{x| |x}or dominos.^x|1|

(U84 17.576-580)

What encouraged him in these fancies?

The money which Marks and James
{ms, 7v-8}
had made, the former with his 1d bazaar, the latter with his sixpence halfpence shop & worlds fair waxwork exhibition, admission sixpence, children one penny.

(U84 17.1421-1425)

Why did he not consult the work at once?

So as to exercise his mnemotechnic

No. But on taking the book from the case he remembered

And the battle was?

Plevna.

(U84 17.1357-1360)

What did he then observe?

That several books had been replaced ^|1upside down inverted^1|.

(U84 17.1408-1414)

Did he set them right?

Yes, ^|1he loved order, a place for everything, everything in its place and neither should an apple ^|asit be wedged^a| in a tumbler nor a wet umbrella ^|adrip drip aslant^a| in a closestool^1| reflecting that it was unsafe to hide anything, a letter for example, in or behind a book

(U84 17.2114-2125)

^|1How did he enter?

Prudently. ^|aTwo of^a| The mattress ^|aspiral^a| springs being aged, a the brass quoits and drooping serpent radii loose and prone to ring. Prudently, ^|anot to disturb her, lightly though she moved over,^a| always reverently, it was the bed in which she had been conceived in Gibraltar, in which her marriage had been consummated and in which — —^1|

What did his stretching limbs feel?

^|1The imprint of a ^|amale ^|x(he fucks she fucks it fucks)^x|a| human form not his ^|ain his bed^a|.^1| Crumbs and some precooked flakes of potted meat in the warmth of her full body. These he removed.

Did he like the warmth?

^|1Yes More^1| if it had been combined with a cool cold pillow ^|1an idea to be patented^1|.

(U84 17.359-365)

Did he show him a special mark of hospitality?

The milk in the brown jug ^|1being having been^1| soured by the thunderstorm he gave him from a small jar ^|1reserved for his wife^1| two spoonfuls of cream from John Wyse Nolan's ^|1model^1| dairy.

(U84 17.2090-2100)

^|1on the oblong trunk ^|aquadruple battened ^|bwith capped corners^b|, various labelled^a| marked B.C.T. (Brian Cooper Tweedy)^1| Her halfsilk ^|1nonsmelling^1| stockings with violet garters, her outsize ^|1|xgrey white^x|1| drawers ^|1(a pin in them) which smelled of opoponax and a Havana cigar^{1| |1}folded curvilinear^1| of India mull, cut on generous lines.
{ms, 7v}

(U84 17.296-318)

Could he shave with such felicity?

Even in the dark by the sense of touch. He had a firm full sure woman's hand. He could have been a successful surgeon but that he would have preferred to be a physician, being loath to shed men's blood even when the end justified the means.

How did he envisage parting?

^|1Well, why not, the most natural thing in the world.^1| Offspring being made & provided for it seemed to him not wholly unnatural as too much living together revealed to each too constantly another's defects. ^|1It was to increase & multiply.

How did her absence affect him?

How did he like his sleeping position?

Almost well.

What?

He kissed the plump mellow yellow ^|1smellow^1| melons of her rump, on each and in their furrow, then lastly because beauty is equal in every part her hole behind. She stirred in sleep, murmuring.

(U84 17.163-228)

Did it come when he turned the cock?

Yes. From Roundwood reservoir near Stillorgan, though from long drouth in June the water had fallen below the sill of the overflow weir and the borough surveyor and waterworks committee had forbidden the laving of all shopfronts and all waste beyond. Particular offenders being the South Dublin Guardians notwithstanding their ration of 15 gallons per day per pauper supplied through 6 inch pipe reading of the meter showing a wastage of 20,000 gallons per night ^|1stated by the law agent of the corporation, Ignatius Rice^1| to the loss of ^|1|athe best section of the public^a| selfsupporting^1| taxpayers.
{ms, 010v}

^|1He admired water?

Yes, its universality ^|aand equality, ever seeking its own level, constant to its nature,^a| its vastness in oceans ^|aon Mercalli's projector^a|, its secrecy in springs ^|asuch as the Hole in the Wall well by the Ashtown gate^a|, its healing virtues, its properties for washing, ^|anourishing flowers & plants^a| quenching thirst, and fire, its strength in hard hydrants, its docility in working millwheels, canals, electric power stations, ^|aits utility in bleachworks, tanneries, scutchmills,^a| the fauna and flora it gave life to, its evil in marshes, faded flowers, pestilent fens, stagnant pools when the moon waned.^1|

(U84 17.1171-1184)

He spoke?

Of the light in a secondstorey window. A slanted lampshade on the blind. The bedroom of his wife. He spoke. Softly, tenderly with regret, wonder & estrangement. Then was silent ^|1as though sad & Stephen too^1|.

^|1Was it all he could have desired?

Virginia creeper or ivy should have framed the casement unread.^1|

Did either weep?

Both in ^|1silence darkness^1|, first Stephen, then Bloom, pissed, screening from each other the organ of their common act, in silence, their gaze raised to the lamplit window.

What did Stephen see?

^|1A mirror of flesh in which his Each gazed in the mirror of the flesh of his fellows face.^{1| |1}An^1| past accumulated which no future could evade.

(U84 17.787-794)

What did Bloom see?

The future which his past had never attained, a career in the church, at the bar, on the stage with the very reverent John Conmee SJ, Seymour Bushe KC, and the late Osmond Tearle (died 1901).
{ms, 11}

(U84 17.1354-1356)

What ^|1impressed him did he find by inspection^1| in the mirror?

(U84 17.477-496)

Had they a ^|1personal^1| link beyond that in the past?

Mrs Riordan (Dante), who had lived in Stephen's parents' house during the Parnell ^|1split national schism^1| from 1890-92 and whom Bloom had known in the City Arms Hotel, Prussia street when he lodged there for early morning work ^|1in the adjacent cattle parks of the market NCR,^1| for Joseph Cuffe of the same thoroughfare ^|1|xwhere in her bathchair he had sometimes ^|awheeled pushed^a| her with slow revolutions of the wheels as far as N.C.R. ^|aand where she remained for some halfhours in the evening air^{a| |a}scanning through Bloom's onelensed fieldglasses the people on trams, bicycles, tandems, tricycles, cars, landaus, traps and brakes, all going to the Phoenix Park^a|x|1|.

On the musicrest stood Love's Old Sweet Song, open at the closing page.

(U84 17.1905-1915)

And looking back in retrospective?

An old man he had boasted of his deeds of business cunning ^|1how he came penniless, ^|ahad fallen on his feet, held on, when given an inch taking an ell,^a| how won his way in various cities, Szombathely, in Florence, ^|ain Vienna, Budapest,^a| in London, in Dublin.^1| A child Bloom, he remembered, ^|1seated wideeared on a lopeared hassock,^1| had run with finger over the map of Europe, Dublin, Florence, Vienna, Budapest, Szombathely & asked {for reasons} which his father freely conceded in all capitals.

(U84 17.322-341)

What did he discover from this connection?

Opening the paper ^|1the at^1| the ^|1telegraph by special wire^1| page he found that the Gold Cup race at Ascot had been won by ^|1a dark horse^1| Throwaway at 20 to 1.

He recapitulated?

That he had read this before in the cabman's shelter and had heard of it in Barney Kiernan's, that on O'Connell bridge and a dark man had placed in his hand a throwaway, that Bantam had ^|1been inspired to snatched the morning Freeman from him^{1| |1}when just as^1| he was about to throw it away.
{ms, 012}

Why?

Love changed from instant to instant, ^|1cooling in one when kindling in the other, when up seesaw the other down & ^|aviceversa deedaw^{a| |a}jawhanging & down gloomy^a|1| though often returning to a blank point, a ^|1widening everwidening^1| circle in a pond. Silent lovers, quarrelling lovers, violent lovers, ^|1weeping lovers,^1| all he had marked. It had to be, it or something for it ^|1false or real or illicit and nobody a penny the worse^1| to create it again ^|1in a moment of naked sincerity, one of the only ones.^{1| |1}It was born ^|aby both's consent^a| in the instant of discharge from pole to antipole.^1|

(U84 17.277-282)

Why at such an hour?

The beard was softer, the sleep after cleaner, and the skin had not to face a hostile air.

With success?

She listened ^|1with interest^1|, understood ^|1with wonder^1|, ^|1remembered repeated^{1| |1}with care^1|, ^|1remembered with difficulty then^1| forgot ^|1with ease^1|, ^|1then^1| remembered ^|1with error^1|, repeated ^|1with misgiving^1|.

(U84 17.323)

These were?

Coincidences. Truth stranger than fiction.

(U84 17.342-347)

Was he depressed at his not having understood these signs?

It was ^|1not always well always difficult^1| and ^|1always difficult not always well^1| to understand for, while one could conjecture one's loss ^|1at not by failure^1| understanding one could never know what greater losses understanding might have brought in time.

(U84 17.709-714)

What great ones did he single out for mention.

^|13 Seekers of the Pure truth, Moses of Egypt,^1| Moses Maimonides, ^|1author of More Nebukim,^1| and Moses Mendelssohn. From Moses (of Egypt) to Moses (Mendelssohn) there arose none like Moses (Maimonides).

With what money?

Were there changes?

How did he think of Blazes?

^|1Handsome, vigorous, wellproportioned but a man & business man but nothing more.^1| Often he had seen that light in men's eyes on her, first with alarm, then with understanding, then with desire, now with fatigue. He was ^|1a friend, of 3 years' standing ^|asince meeting in Mesias, Burgh Quay, their common tailor^a|, 1901-1904^1| a guest ^|1one of few,^1| had rights, was still young, not mean. ^|1Divorce proceedings (if connivance were not proved) might bring him £200.

Theft, fraud, murder, arson, cruelty to children were worse things. He found himself in it. The body slowly, every body, found itself in foods, in drinks, in habits, desires and disease.

(U84 17.973-988)

Would they meet?

He wondered. He had no son. He might adopt, might have adopted. A clown in Hengler's Circus, knowing him sonless, had scrambled from the ring and told the exhilarated audience: This is my papa. But would she? Once ^|1in 1898 ^|ain the late spring, the end of May or June the middle of June^a|1| he had marked a certain halfcrown ^|1with 3 notches on the milled edge and paid it out in a grocer's, sent it on its way ^|ain circulation ^|bon the waters of finance^b|a| to voyage and return^1|.

It was then (MB's fuck) full and free?

If only she had not laughed. She had admired, been attracted by, thought of, been drawn to, the face of the William II, German emperor. He had fanned the incipient, encouraged the tentative, to the degree of vicarious surrender, or the acme at the supreme instant.

But?

Suddenly she laughed, relaxing, disintegrating, laughing. — He: no no think. She: O swing out of his whiskers.
{ms, 015}

(U84 17.277-287)

Why shave by night?

A softer beard, the quiet, reflections of the day, the smooth soft nightrest, ^|1morning waking^1| clean.

What position did they take?

Bloom on a chair facing the area window, Stephen on a chair opposite a clothesline on which hung four hanks and a pair of grey ladies' stockings clamped by three erect wooden pegs at the outer extremities and one at the point of junction of the ropes.
