Why did he not leave her his best bed if he wished her to snore away the rest of her nights in peace? It is clear that there were two beds, a best and a secondbest, Mr Secondbest Best said finely. Separatio a mensa et a thalamo, bettered Buck Mulligan and was smiled on. Antiquity mentions famous beds, Second Eglinton puckered, bedsmiling. Let me think. Do you mean he died so?
Thus, or words to that effect, saith Zarathustra, sometime regius professor of French letters to the university of Oxtail nor breathed there ever that man to whom mankind was more beholden. Bring a stranger within thy tower it will go hard but thou wilt have the secondbest bed. Orate, fratres, pro memetipso. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Stephen prayed. What of all the will to do? It has vanished long ago... She lies laid out in stark stiffness in that secondbest bed, the mobled queen, even though you prove that a bed in those days was as rare as a motorcar is now and that its carvings were the wonder of seven parishes.
Leftherhis Secondbest Leftherhis Bestabed Secabest Leftabed. Woa! Pretty countryfolk had few chattels then, John Eglinton observed, as they have still if our peasant plays are true to type.

BLOOM: Ten and six. The act of low scoundrels. Let me go. I will return. I will prove... A VOICE: Swear! BELLO: As a paying guest or a kept man? Too late. You have made your secondbest bed and others must lie in it. Your epitaph is written. You are down and out and don't you forget it, old bean. BLOOM: Justice! All Ireland versus one!
His legal knowledge was great Our judges tell us. Him Satan fleers, Mocker: And therefore he left out her name From the first draft but he did not leave out The presents for his granddaughter, for his daughters, For his sister, for his old cronies in Stratford And in London. And therefore when he was urged, As I believe, to name her He left her his Secondbest Bed. Punkt.
