Professor Goodwin, in a bowknotted periwig, in court dress, wearing a stained inverness cape, bent in two from incredible age, totters across the room, his hands fluttering. Anybody here for there? Who'll dance? Clear the table. Stephen throws his ashplant on the table and seizes Zoe round the waist. Florry and Bella push the table towards the fireplace.

That as a competent keyless citizen he had proceeded energetically from the unknown to the known through the incertitude of the void. In what order of precedence, with what attendant ceremony was the exodus from the house of bondage to the wilderness of inhabitation effected?

Sanchia let them run, so the distorted tale was pieced together. At a quarter to twelve it must have been that, because Emma heard the stableclock chime the half-hour Struan was seen in his blacks. He came out of the wood-house, an ashplant in his hand. "Apes and tigers, apes and tigers," from Mrs. Benson his face was dreadful to see. Who said so? Who saw him? Not Minnie, for sure.

Bloom, holding in his hand Stephen's hat, festooned with shavings, and ashplant, stands irresolute. BLOOM: Eh! Ho! Somnambulist. Black panther. Vampire. Who... drive... Fergus now And pierce... wood's woven shade?... BLOOM: Poetry. Well educated. Pity. Not hurt anyhow. ... shadows... the woods ... white breast... dim sea. Bloom, holding the hat and ashplant, stands erect.

He tugged swiftly at Stephen's ashplant in farewell and, running forward to a brow of the cliff, fluttered his hands at his sides like fins or wings of one about to rise in the air, and chanted: Goodbye, now, goodbye! Write down all I said And tell Tom, Dick and Harry I rose from the dead. What's bred in the bone cannot fail me to fly And Olivet's breezy... Goodbye, now, goodbye!

And when two constabulary men had come into sight round a bend in the gloomy road he had broken off his prayer to whistle loudly an air from the last pantomime. He began to beat the frayed end of his ashplant against the base of a pillar. Had Cranly not heard him? Yet he could wait. The talk about him ceased for a moment and a soft hiss fell again from a window above.

Zoe and Kitty still point right. Bloom, parting them swiftly, draws his caliph's hood and poncho and hurries down the steps with sideways face. Incog Haroun al Raschid he flits behind the silent lechers and hastens on by the railings with fleet step of a pard strewing the drag behind him, torn envelopes drenched in aniseed. The ashplant marks his stride.

He snatched the ashplant roughly from Stephen's hand and sprang down the steps: but Temple, hearing him move in pursuit, fled through the dusk like a wild creature, nimble and fleet-footed. Cranly's heavy boots were heard loudly charging across the quadrangle and then returning heavily, foiled and spurning the gravel at each step.

Clavering led the way past the village towards a neat row of cottages on the brow of a little hill about a quarter of a mile behind it, and as they ascended a steep lane she turned and pointed with her ashplant. A confusion of chimneys, cranes and wharves were shrouded in a haze of smoke and the kindly distance. "You see," she said, "you can almost see the harbour from your house.

'E comes of a good stock, 'e does, an' yet I 'umbly ax yer pawdon, sir but the feller who tried to kill you an' me might ha' bin yer own brother." The waiter managed to remove the most obvious traces of Brett's escapade in the gutter, and incidentally cleaned the stick. It was a light, tough ashplant, with a silver band around the handle.
