from everlasting that they would do His rightwiseness. And straightway the minions of the law led forth from their donjon keep one whom the sleuthhounds of justice had apprehended in consequence of information received. And they shackled him hand and foot and would take of him ne bail ne mainprise but preferred a charge against him for he was a malefactor.



— Those are nice things, says the citizen, coming over here to Ireland filling the country with bugs.



So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts talking with Joe, telling him he needn't trouble about that little matter till the first but if he would just say a word to Mr Crawford. And so Joe swore high and holy by this and by that he'd do the devil and all.



— Because you see, says Bloom, for an advertisement you must have repetition. That's the whole secret.



— Rely on me, says Joe.



— Swindling the peasants, says the citizen, and the poor of Ireland. We want no more strangers in our house.



— O, I'm sure that will be all right, Hynes, says Bloom. It's just that Keyes, you see.



— Consider that done, says Joe.



— Very kind of you, says Bloom.



— The strangers, says the citizen. Our own fault. We let them come in. We brought them in. The adulteress and her paramour brought the Saxon robbers here.



— Decree nisi, says J.J.



And Bloom letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner behind the barrel, and the citizen scowling after him and the old dog at his feet looking up to know who to bite and when.



— A dishonoured wife, says the citizen, that's what's the cause of all our misfortunes.



— And here she is, says Alf, that was giggling over the Police Gazette with Terry on the counter, in all her warpaint.



— Give us a squint at her, says I.



And what was it only one of the smutty yankee pictures Terry borrows off of Corny Kelleher. Secrets for enlarging your private parts. Misconduct of society belle. Norman W. Tupper, wealthy Chicago contractor, finds pretty but faithless wife in lap of officer Taylor. Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her fancyman feeling for her tickles and Norman W. Tupper

Police Gazette 16Sep1893: 'A POLICEMAN HER LOVER: Chicago police circles have been in a ferment for the last few days over a scandal that cropped out before the trial board and which will inevitably result in the dismissal of Sergeant Al Taylor, of the Thirteenth precinct. Norman W. Tupper is a wealthy contractor, with a sumptuous home at 1137 Jackson Boulevard. His wife and two little girls had everything they desired, but the mother's infatuation with Sergeant Taylor was the family skeleton. One day recently Mr. Tupper left the house, ostensibly for the day, but returned an hour later and going suddenly into the parlor found his wife on the lap of Taylor, her arms entwining his neck, and just about to kiss his official lips. Tupper made a wild dash for the policeman, who hastily pushed Mrs. Tupper aside and reached for his revolver. The wronged husband hesitated a moment and the sergeant made his escape.' [cite]
