peep-o’-day boy’s hat signs to Stephen.)

the dents jaunes.

quince leaf.)
PATRICE: Socialiste!
DON EMILE PATRIZ1O FRANZ RUPERT POPE
HENNESSY: (In medieval hauberk, two wild geese volant on
his helm, with noble indignation points a mailed hand against the
privates) Werf those eykes to footboden, big grand porcos
of johnyellows todos covered of gravy!
BLOOM: (To Stephen) Come home. You’ll get into
trouble.
STEPHEN: (Swaying) I don’t avoid it. He provokes my
intelligence.
BIDDY THE CLAP: One immediately observes that
he is of patrician lineage.
THE VIRAGO: Green above the red, says he. Wolfe
Tone.
THE BAWD: The red’s as good as the green. And
better. Up the soldiers! Up King Edward!
A ROUGH: (Laughs) Ay! Hands up to De Wet.
