THE NYMPH
(Coyly, through parting fingers.) There? In the open air?




THE YEWS
(Sweeping downward.) Sister, yes. And on our virgin sward.

THE NYMPH
(With wide fingers.) O, infamy!




BLOOM
I was precocious. Youth. The fauna. I sacrificed to the god of the forest. The flowers that bloom in the spring. It was pairing time. Capillary attraction is a natural phenomenon. Lotty Clarke, flaxenhaired, I saw at her night toilette through illclosed curtains with poor papa's operaglasses. The wanton ate grass wildly. She rolled downhill at Rialto Bridge to tempt me with her flow of animal spirits. She climbed their crooked tree and I... A saint couldn't resist it. The demon possessed me. Besides, who saw?

(Staggering Bob, a whitepolled calf, thrusts a ruminating head with humid nostrils through the foliage.)

STAGGERING BOB
(Large teardrops rolling from his prominent eyes, snivels.) Me. Me see.




BLOOM
Simply satisfying a need I... (With pathos.) No girl would when I went girling. Too ugly. They wouldn't play...

(High on Ben Howth through rhododendrons a nannygoat passes, plumpuddered, buttytailed, dropping currants.)

THE NANNYGOAT
(Bleats.) Megeggaggegg! Nannannanny!




BLOOM
(Hatless, flushed, covered with burrs of thistledown and gorsespine.) Regularly
