Doran, Lyons in Conway's. She raised a gloved hand to her hair. In came Hoppy. Having a wet.

Off to the country: Broadstone probably. High brown boots with laces dangling. Wellturned foot. What is he foostering over that change for? Sees me looking. Eye out for other fellow always. Good fallback. Two strings to her bow.

— Yes, yes, Mr Bloom said after a dull sigh. Another gone.
— One of the best, M'Coy said.
The tram passed. They drove off towards the Loop Line bridge, her rich gloved hand on the steel grip. Flicker, flicker: the laceflare of her hat in the sun: flicker, flick.
