'We come! said all the Brethren together, They rose up, put their play-books in their pockets, and joining hands so as to form a circle, with Gyp and Yellow-cap in the middle of it, they rapidly repeated five times over the following mystic chant, Gyp beating time for them with the forefinger of his right hand on the five fingers of his left: Ruba Dubb Dubsix Menin Atub Chorus Gyp!
'It certainly is different from a tin pan, thought he as he went back to his chair at the head of the table. 'Nothing more than an optical illusion, said Gyp, filling Yellow-cap's pipe from his own tobacco-pouch, and handing it to him courteously. 'There is no harm in it none at all. 'Especially as it makes you our Head, observed Ruba. 'I move we suspend the rules, said Dubb.
'And your reputation! bawled Atub. 'It is against the first law of the Brotherhood, added Ruba. 'We all have headaches, asserted Dubb. 'We couldn't live without them, declared Dubsix. 'Would you commit suicide? demanded Menin. 'Be guilty of treason? hiccoughed Atub, who had swallowed some smoke the wrong way. 'Good gracious! was all that poor Yellow-cap was able to reply.

Beginning with the Lord Privy Gander, and so on in regular order to the First Lord of the Seesaw, each brother in rapid succession spoke his own nickname, with the following result. 'Ruba! said the Lord Privy Gander. 'Dubb! said the Chancellor of the Jingle.
'Not only can I talk when I like, but none of the others can say anything unless all the rest are willing; because his speaking makes it necessary that all the rest should have something to say, and that Ruba should begin. The only laws that we recognise are metrical laws, and they, as you know, are the strictest in the world.
Quite dark, regular brunette, black. I for one certainly believe climate accounts for character. That's why I asked you if you wrote your poetry in Italian. The temperaments at the door, Stephen interposed with, were very passionate about ten shillings. Roberto ruba roba sua. Quite so, Mr Bloom dittoed.
'There is only one inconvenience about it, observed Ruba. 'We must always speak in order, added Dubb. 'On pain of spoiling our metre, put in Dubsix. 'And our rhyme, continued Menin. 'Except Gyp, added Atub, 'who can talk when he likes, and that is his chief advantage. 'It is an advantage in more ways than one, Gyp remarked.
