1 Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and

6Kidneys were in his mind as he moved about the kitchen softly,
7

10The coals were reddening.

11Another slice of bread and butter: three, four: right. She didn't like
12
12 her plate full. Right. He turned from the tray, lifted the kettle off the hob
13

15The cat walked stiffly round a leg of the table with tail on high.

17
17O, there you are, Mr Bloom said, turning from the fire.

18
18The cat mewed in answer and stalked again stiffly round a leg of the

21 Mr Bloom watched curiously, kindly the lithe black form. Clean
22 to
22 see: the gloss of her sleek hide, the white button under the butt of her tail,
23
23 the green flashing eyes. He bent down to her, his hands on his knees.

24
24Milk for the pussens, he said.

25
25Mrkgnao! the cat cried.

26
26They call them stupid. They understand what we say better than we

33
4She blinked up out of her avid shameclosing⸢2shameclosing2⸣ eyes, mewing
5 plaintively
34 and long, showing him her milkwhite teeth. He watched the dark

24 and

52
25He said softly in the bare hall:

53
26I'm going round the corner. Be back in a minute.

54
27And when he had heard his voice say it he added:

55
28You don't want anything for breakfast?

56
29A sleepy soft grunt answered:

57
30Mn.

58
31No. She didn't want anything. He heard then a warm heavy sigh,
59
32 softer, as she turned over and the loose brass quoits of the bedstead jingled.

103
5 of Ireland. He prolonged his pleased smile. Ikey touch that: homerule sun

105
7He approached Larry O'Rourke's. From the cellar grating floated up
106
8 the flabby gush of porter. Through the open doorway the bar squirted out
107
9 whiffs of ginger, teadust, biscuitmush. Good house, however: just the end

19A cloud began to cover the sun slowly, wholly. Grey. Far.

219
20No, not like that. A barren land, bare waste. Vulcanic lake, the dead
220
21 sea: no fish, weedless, sunk deep in the earth. No wind could lift those
221
22 waves, grey metal, poisonous foggy waters. Brimstone they called it raining
222
23 down: the cities of the plain: Sodom, Gomorrah, Edom. All dead names. A
223
24 dead sea in a dead land, grey and old. Old now. It bore the oldest, the first
224
25 race. A bent hag crossed from Cassidy's, clutching a naggin bottle by the

229
30Desolation.

230
31Grey horror seared his flesh. Folding the page into his pocket he
231
32 turned into Eccles street, hurrying homeward. Cold oils slid along his
33 veins,
232 chilling his blood: age crusting him with a salt cloak. Well, I am here

240
5Quick warm sunlight came running from Berkeley road, swiftly, in
241
6 slim sandals, along the brightening footpath. Runs, she runs to meet me, a
242
7 girl with gold hair on the wind.

243
8Two letters and a card lay on the hallfloor. He stooped and gathered

247
12Entering the bedroom he halfclosed his eyes and walked through
248
13 warm yellow twilight towards her tousled head.

249
14Who are the letters for?

250
15He looked at them. Mullingar. Milly.

251
16A letter for me from ⧼Millie⧽Millie Milly, he said carefully, and a card ∧⧼ ⧄◻ ⧽ ⧄◻ to to ∧⧼ ⧄◻ ⧽ ⧄◻ to to
17 you. And a
252 letter for you.

253
18He laid her card and letter on the twill bedspread near the curve of
254
19 her knees.

255
20Do you want the blind up?

256
21Letting the blind up by gentle tugs halfway his backward eye saw her
257
22 glance at the letter and tuck it under her pillow.
258

23That do? he asked, turning.

259
24She was reading the card, propped on her elbow.

260
25She got the things, she said.

261
26He waited till she had laid the card aside and curled herself back
262
27 slowly with a snug sigh.

263
28Hurry up with that tea, she said. I'm parched.

264
29The kettle is boiling, he said.

265
30But he delayed to clear the chair: her striped petticoat, tossed soiled
266
31 linen: and lifted all in an armful on to the foot of the bed.

267
32As he went down the kitchen stairs she called:

268
33Poldy!

270
35Scald the teapot.

291
21Poor old professor Goodwin. Dreadful old case. Still he was a
292
22 courteous old chap. Oldfashioned way he used to bow Molly off the
293
23 platform. And the little 🕮 mirror in his silk hat. The night Milly brought it
294
24 into the parlour. O, look what I found in professor Goodwin's hat! All we
295
25 laughed. Sex breaking out even then.⸢2Sex breaking out even then.2⸣ Pert little piece she was.

296
26He prodded a fork into the kidney and slapped it over: then fitted the
297
27 teapot on the tray. Its hump bumped as he took it up. Everything on it?
298
28 Bread and butter, four, sugar, spoon, her cream. Yes. He carried it upstairs,
299
29 his thumb hooked in the teapot handle.

300
30Nudging the door open with his knee he carried the ⧼c⧽c tray in and set
31 it
301 on the chair by the bedhead.

302
32What a time you were! she said.

303
33She set the brasses jingling as she raised herself briskly, an elbow on
304
34 the pillow. He looked calmly down on her bulk and between her large soft
305
35 bubs, sloping within her nightdress like a shegoat's udder. The warmth of
306
1 her couched body rose on the air, mingling with the fragrance of the tea she
307
2 poured.

308
3A strip of torn envelope peeped from under the dimpled pillow. In the
309
4 act of going he stayed to straighten the bedspread.

13She doubled a slice of bread into her mouth, asking:

319
14What time is the funeral?

320
15Eleven, I think, he answered. I didn't see the paper.

16Following the pointing of her finger he took up a leg of her soiled

22He felt here and there. Voglio e non vorrei. Wonder if she pronounces

32Here, she said. What does that mean?

338

364
25 before on the earth thousands of years ago or some other planet. They say

28 remind her of the word: metempsychosis. An example would be better. An

33 gave for the frame. She said it would look nice over the bed. Naked

34 nymphs: Greece: and for instance all the people that lived then.

374
35He turned the pages back.

375

376
2 to believe you could be changed into an animal or a tree, for instance. What
377

378
4Her spoon ceased to stir up the sugar. She gazed straight before her,
379

380
6There's a smell of burn, she said. Did you leave anything on the fire?

390
16 shore away the burnt flesh and flung it to the cat. Then he put a forkful into
391
17 his mouth, chewing with discernment the toothsome pliant meat. Done to a
392
18 turn. A mouthful of tea. Then he cut away dies of bread, sopped one in the
393
19 gravy and put it in his mouth. What was that about some young student
394
20 and a picnic? He creased out the letter at his side, reading it slowly as he
395
21 chewed, sopping another die of bread in the gravy and raising it to his
396
22 mouth.
