ORTHOGRAPHICAL

Want to be sure of his spelling. Proof fever. Martin Cunningham forgot to give us his spellingbee conundrum this morning. It is amusing to view the unpar one ar alleled embarra two ars is it? double ess ment of a harassed pedlar while gauging au the symmetry with a y of a peeled pear under a cemetery wall.

"peeled pear" = alliteration

"Sllt." = onomatopoeia
"Doing its level best to speak." = prosopopoeia or personification

— Ay. Where's Monks?

— Monks!



Mr Bloom took up his cutting. Time to get out.



— Then I'll get the design, Mr Nannetti, he said, and you'll give it a good place I know.



— Monks!



— Yes, sir.
