Miles of ears of porches. The tribune's words, howled and scattered to the four winds. A people sheltered within his voice. Dead noise. Akasic records of all that ever anywhere wherever was. Love and laud him: me no more.



I have money.



— Gentlemen, Stephen said. As the next motion on the agenda paper may I suggest that the house do now adjourn?



— You take my breath away. It is not perchance a French compliment? Mr O'Madden Burke asked. 'Tis the hour, methinks, when the winejug, metaphorically speaking, is most grateful in Ye ancient hostelry.

He led the way, admonishing:



— We will sternly refuse to partake of strong waters, will we not? Yes, we will not. By no manner of means.



Mr O'Madden Burke, following close, said with an ally's lunge of his umbrella:

— Chip of the old block! the editor cried, slapping Stephen on the shoulder. Let us go. Where are those blasted keys?



He fumbled in his pocket, pulling out the crushed typesheets.



— Foot and mouth. I know. That'll be all right. That'll go in. Where are they? That's all right.

— I hope you will live to see it published. Myles, one moment.



He went into the inner office, closing the door behind him.



— Come along, Stephen, the professor said. That is fine, isn't it? It has the prophetic vision. Fuit Ilium! The sack of windy Troy. Kingdoms of this world. The masters of the Mediterranean are fellaheen today.



The first newsboy came pattering down the stairs at their heels and rushed out into the street, yelling:



— Racing special!
