Uninvited. By virtue of the fifth of George and seventh of Edward. History to blame. Fabled by mothers of memory.




PRIVATE CARR
(To Cissy Caffrey.) Was he insulting you?




STEPHEN
Addressed her in vocative feminine. Probably neuter. Ungenitive.




VOICES
No, he didn't. I seen him. The girl there. He was in Mrs Cohen's. What's up? Soldier and civilian.




CISSY CAFFREY
I was in company with the soldiers and they left me to do, you know, and the young man run up behind me. But I'm faithful to the man that's treating me though I'm only a shilling whore.




VOICES
Shesfaithfultheman.




STEPHEN
(Catches sight of Lynch's and Kitty's heads.) Hail, Sisyphus. (He points to himself and the others.) Poetic. Uropoetic.




CISSY CAFFREY
Yes, to go with him. And me with a soldier friend.




PRIVATE COMPTON
He doesn't half want a thick ear, the blighter. Biff him one, Harry.




PRIVATE CARR
(To Cissy.) Was he insulting you while me and him was having a piss?




LORD TENNYSON
(Gentleman poet in Union Jack blazer and cricket flannels, bareheaded, flowingbearded.) Theirs not to reason why.




PRIVATE COMPTON
Biff him, Harry.
