to hear from above by return with cash so as she can buy her Peter Robinson
trousseau and cut a dash with Arty, Bert or possibly Charley Chance (who
knows?) so tolloll Mr Hunker you're too dada for me to dance (so off she
goes !) and that's how half the gels in town has got their bottom drars
while grumpapar he's trying to hitch his braces on to his trars. But old
grum he's not so clean dippy between sweet you and yum (not on your life,
boy! not in those trousers! not by a large jugful!) for someplace on the
sly,where Furphy he isn't by, old grum has his gel number two (bravevow, our
Grum!) and he would like to canoodle her too some part of the time for he is
downright fond of his number one but O he's fair mashed on peaches number
two so that if he could only canoodle the two, chivee chivoo, all three
would feel genuinely happy, it's as simple as A. B. C., the two mixers, we
mean, with their cherrybum chappy (for he is simply shamming dippy) if they
all were afloat in a dreamlifeboat, hugging two by two in his
zoo-doo-you-doo, a tofftoff for thee, missymissy for me and
howcameyou-e'enso for Farber, in his tippy, upindown dippy, tiptoptippy
canoodle, can you? Finny.
Ack, ack, ack. With which clap, trap and soddenment, three to a loaf,
our mutual friends the fender and the bottle at the gate seem to be
implicitly in the same bateau, so to singen, bearing also several of the

But resuming inquiries. Will it ever be next morning the postal
unionist's (officially called carrier's, Letters Scotch, Limited) strange
fate (Fierceendgiddyex he's hight, d.e., the losel that hucks around
missivemaids' gummibacks) to hand in a huge chain envelope, written in seven
divers stages of ink, from blanchessance to lavandaiette, every pothook and
pancrook bespaking the wisherwife, superscribed and subpencilled by yours A
Laughable Party, with afterwite, S.A.G., to Hyde and Cheek, Edenberry,
Dubblenn, WC? Will whatever will be written in lappish language with
inbursts of Maggyer always seem semposed, black looking white and white
guarding black, in that siamixed twoatalk used twist stern swift and jolly
roger? Will it bright upon us, nightle, and we plunging to our plight? Well,
it might now, mircle, so it light. Always and ever till Cox's wife, twice
Mrs Hahn, pokes her beak into the matter with Owen K. after her, to see
whawa smutter after, will this kiribis pouch filled with litterish fragments
lurk dormant in the paunch of that halpbrother of a herm, a pillarbox?
The coffin, a triumph of the illusionist's art, at first blench
naturally taken for a handharp (it is handwarp to tristinguish jubabe from
jabule or either from tubote when all three have just been invened) had been
removed from the hardware premises of Oetzmann and Nephew, a noted house of
the gonemost west, which in the natural course of all things continues to
supply funeral requisites of every needed description. Why needed, though?
Indeed needed (wouldn't you feel like rattanfowl if you hadn't the oscar!)
because the flash brides or bride in their lily boleros one games with at
the Nivynubies' finery ball and your upright grooms that always come right
up with you (and by jingo when they do!) what else in this mortal world, now
ours, when meet there night, mid their nackt, me there naket, made their
nought the hour strikes, would bring them rightcame back in the flesh,
thumbs down, to their orses and their hashes.
To proceed. We might leave that nitrience of oxagiants to take its free
of the air and just analectralyse that very chymerical combination, the
gasbag where the warderworks. And try to pour somour heiterscene up
thealmostfere. In the bottled heliose case continuing, Long Lally Tobkids,
the special, sporting a fine breast of medals, and a conscientious
scripturereader to boot in the brick and tin choorch round the coroner,
swore like a Norewheezian tailliur on the stand before the proper
functionary that he was up against a right querrshnorrt of a mand in the
butcher of the blues who, he guntinued, on last epening after delivering
some carcasses mattonchepps and meatjutes on behalf of Messrs Otto Sands and
Eastman, Limericked, Victuallers, went and, with his unmitigated
astonissment, hickicked at the dun and dorass against all the runes and,
when challenged about the pretended hick (it was kickup and down with him)
on his solemn by the imputant imputed, said simply: I appop pie oath,
Phillyps Captain. You did, as I sostressed before. You are deepknee in
error, sir, Madam Tomkins, let me then tell you, replied with a
gentlewomanly salaam MackPartland, (the meatman's family, and the oldest in
the world except nick, name.) And Phelps was flayful with his peeler. But
his phizz fell.
Now to the obverse. From velveteens to dimities is barely a fivefinger
span and hence these camelback excesses are thought to have been instigated
by one or either of the causing causes of all, those rushy hollow heroines

is a horrible thing to have to say to say to day but one dilalah, Lupita

dodging chores that she stripped teasily for binocular man and that her
jambs were jimpjoyed to see each other, the nautchy girly soon found her
fruitful hat too small for her and rapidly taking time,look,she rapidly took
to necking, partying and selling her spare favours in the haymow or in
lumber closets or in the greenawn ad huck (there are certain intimacies in
all ladies' lavastories we just lease to imagination) or in the sweet
churchyard close itself for a bit of soft coal or an array of thin trunks,
serving whom in fine that same hot coney a la Zingara which our own little
Graunya of the chilired cheeks dished up to the greatsire of Oscar, that son
of a Coole. Houri of the coast of emerald, arrah of the lacessive poghue,

Now by memory inspired, turn wheel again to the whole of the wall.
Where Gyant Blyant fronts Peannlueamoore There was once upon a wall and a
hooghoog wall a was and such a wallhole did exist. Ere ore or ire in
Aaarlund. Or you Dair's Hair or you Diggin Mosses or your horde of orts and

suroptimist had bought and enlarged that shack under fair rental of one
yearlyng sheep, (prime) value of sixpence, and one small yearlyng goat
(cadet) value of eightpence, to grow old and happy (hogg it and kidd him)
for the reminants of his years; and when everything was got up for the
purpose he put an applegate on the place by no means as some pretext a
bedstead in loo thereof to keep out donkeys (the pigdirt hanging from the
jags to this hour makes that clear) and just thenabouts the iron gape, by
old custom left open to prevent the cats from getting at the gout, was
triplepatlockt on him on purpose by his faithful poorters to keep him inside
probably and possibly enaunter he felt like sticking out his chest too far
and tempting gracious providence by a stroll on the peoplade's eggday,
unused as he was yet to being freely clodded.
O, by the by, lets wee brag of praties, it ought to be always
remembered in connection with what has gone before that there was a
northroomer, Herr Betreffender, out for his zimmer holedigs, digging in
number 32 at the Rum and Puncheon (Branch of Dirty Dick's free house) in
Laxlip (where the Sockeye Sammons were stopping at the time orange fasting)
prior to that, a Kommerzial (Gorbotipacco, he was wreaking like Zentral

make a heart of glass, that the game of gaze and bandstand butchery was
merely a Patsy O'Strap tissue of threats and obuses such as roebucks raugh

stirabouter, that he would give him his (or theumperom's or anybloody
else's) thickerthanwater to drink and his bleday steppebrodhar's into the
bucket. He demanded more wood alcohol to pitch in with, alleging that his
granfather's was all taxis and that it was only after ten o'connell, and
this his isbar was a public oven for the sake of irsk irskusky, and then,
not easily discouraged, opened the wrathfloods of his atillarery and went on
at a wicked rate, weathering against him in mooxed metaphores from eleven

previous to that demidetached life, had been known of barmicidal days, cook
said, between soups and savours, to get outside his own length of rainbow
trout and taerts atta tarn as no man of woman born, nay could, like the
great crested brebe, devour his threescoreten of roach per lifeday, ay, and
as many minnow a minute (the big mix, may Gibbet choke him !) was, like the
salmon of his ladderleap all this time of totality secretly and by suckage
feeding on his own misplaced fat.
Ladies did not disdain those pagan ironed times of the firs; city
(called after the ugliest Danadune) when a frond was a friend inneed to
carry, as earwigs do their dead, their soil to the earthball where indeeth
we shall calm decline, our legacy unknown. Venuses were gigglibly
temptatrix, vulcans guffawably eruptious and the whole wives' world frockful
of fickles. Fact, any human inyon you liked any erenoon or efter would take
her bare godkin out, or an even pair of hem, (lugod ! lugodoo !) and
prettily pray with him (or with em even) everyhe to her taste, long for
luck, tapette and tape petter and take pettest of all. (Tip!) Wells she'd
woo and wills she's win but how the deer knowed where she'd marry! Arbour,
bucketroom, caravan, ditch? Coach, carriage, wheelbarrow, dungcart?
Kate Strong, a widow (Tiptip!)--she pulls a lane picture for us, in a
dreariodreama setting, glowing and very vidual, of old dumplan as she nosed
it, a homelike cottage of elvanstone with droppings of biddies, stinkend
pusshies, moggies' duggies, rotten witchawubbles, festering rubbages and
beggars' bullets, if not worse, sending salmofarious germs in gleefully
through the smithereen panes--Widow Strong, then, as her weaker had turned
him to the wall (Tiptiptip!), did most all the scavenging from good King
Hamlaugh's gulden dayne though her lean besom cleaned but sparingly and her
bare statement reads that, there being no macadamised sidetracks on those
old nekropolitan nights in, barring a footbatter, Bryant's Causeway,
bordered with speedwell, white clover and sorrel a wood knows, which left
off, being beaten, where the plaintiff was struck, she left down, as
scavengers, who will be scavengers must, her filthdump near the Serpentine
in Phornix Park (at her time called Finewell's Keepsacre but later
tautaubapptossed Pat's Purge), that dangerfield circling butcherswood where
fireworker oh flaherty engaged a nutter of castlemallards and ah for archer
stunned's turk, all over which fossil footprints, bootmarks, fingersigns,
elbowdints, breechbowls, a. s. o. were all successively traced of a most
envolving description. What subtler timeplace of the weald than such
wolfsbelly castrament to will hide a leabhar from Thursmen's brandihands or
a loveletter, lostfully hers, that would be lust on Ma, than then when
ructions ended, than here where race began: and by four hands of forethought
the first babe of reconcilement is laid in its last cradle of hume sweet
hume. Give over it! And no more of it! So pass the pick for child sake! O
men!
For hear Allhighest sprack for krischnians as for propagana fidies and
his nuptial eagles sharped their beaks of prey: and every morphyl man of us,
pome by pome, falls back into this terrine: as it was let it be, says he!
And it is as though where Agni araflammed and Mithra monished and Shiva slew
as mayamutras the obluvial waters of our noarchic memory withdrew, windingly
goharksome, to some hastyswasty timberman torchpriest, flamenfan, the ward
of the wind that lightened the fire that lay in the wood that Jove bolt, at
his rude word. Posidonius O'Fluctuary! Lave that bloody stone as it is! What
are you doing your dirty minx and his big treeblock way up your path? Slip
around, you, by the rare of the ministers'! And, you, take that barrel back
where you got it, Mac Shane's, and go the way your old one went,
Hatchettsbury Road! And gish! how they gushed away, the pennyfares, a whole
school for scamper, with their sashes flying sish behind them, all the
little pirlypettes! Issy-la-Chapelle! Any lucans, please?
Yes, the viability of vicinals if invisible is invincible. And we are
not trespassing on his corns either. Look at all the plotsch! Fluminian! If
this was Hannibal's walk it was Hercules' work. And a hungried thousand of
the unemancipated slaved the way. The mausoleum lies behind us (O Adgigasta,
multipopulipater!) and there are milestones in their cheadmilias faultering
along the tramestrack by Brahm and Anton Hermes! Per omnibus secular
seekalarum. Amain. But the past has made us this present of a rhedarhoad. So
more boher O'Connell! Though rainyhidden, you're rhinohide. And if he's not
a Romeo you may scallop your hat. Wereupunder in the fane of Saint Fiacre !
Halte !
It was hard by the howe's there, plainly on this disoluded and a buchan
cold spot, rupestric then, resurfaced that now is, that Luttrell sold if
Lautrill bought, in the saddle of the Brennan's (now Malpasplace?) pass,
versts and versts from true civilisation, not where his dreams top their
traums halt (Beneathere! Benathere!) but where livland yontide meared with
the wilde, saltlea with flood, that the attackler, a cropatkin, though under
medium and between colours with truly native pluck, engaged the Adversary
who had more in his eye than was less to his leg but whom for plunder sake,
he mistook in the heavy rain to be Oglethorpe or some other ginkus, Parr
aparrently, to whom the headandheelless chickenestegg bore some
Michelangiolesque resemblance, making use of sacrilegious languages to the
defect that he would challenge their hemosphores to exterminate them but he
would cannonise the b -- y b -- r's life out of him and lay him out
contritely as smart as the b--r had his b--y nightprayers said, three
patrecknocksters and a couplet of hellmuirries (tout est sacr pour un
sacreur, femme ... barbe ou homme-nourrice) at the same time, so as to plugg
well let the blubbywail ghoats out of him, catching holst of an oblong bar
he had and with which he usually broke furnitures he rose the stick at him.
The boarder incident prerepeated itself. The pair (whethertheywere
Nippoluono engaging Wei-Ling-Taou or de Razzkias trying to reconnoistre the
general Boukeleff, man may not say), struggled apairently for some
considerable time, (the cradle rocking equally to one and oppositely from
the other on its law of capture and recapture), under the All In rules
around the booksafe, fighting like purple top and tipperuhry Swede,
(Secremented Servious of the Divine Zeal !) and in the course of their
tussle the toller man, who had opened his bully bowl to beg, said to the
miner who was carrying the worm (a handy term for the portable distillery
which consisted of three vats, two jars and several bottles though we
purposely say nothing of the stiff, both parties having an interest in the
spirits): Let me go, Pautheen! I hardly knew ye. Later on, after the
solstitial pause for refleshmeant, the same man (or a different and younger
him of the same ham) asked in the vermicular with a very oggly
chew-chin-grin: Was six victolios fifteen pigeon takee offa you, tell he me,
stlongfella, by picky-pocky ten to foul months behindaside? There were some
further collidabanter and severe tries to convert for the best part of an
hour and now a woden affair in the shape of a webley (we at once recognise
our old friend Ned of so many illortemporate letters) fell from the intruser
who, as stuck as that cat to that mouse in that tube of that christchurch
organ, (did the imnage of Girl Cloud Pensive flout above them light young
charm, in ribbons and pigtail?) whereupon became friendly and, saying not
his shirt to tear, to know wanted, joking and knobkerries, all aside laying,
if his change companion who stuck still to the invention of his strongbox,
with a tenacity corrobberating their mutual tenitorial rights, happened to
have the loots change of a tenpound crickler about him at the moment,
addling that hap so, he would pay him back the six vics odd, do you see, out
of that for what was taken on the man of samples last Yuni or Yuly, do you
follow me, Capn? To this the other, Billi with the Boule, who had mummed and
mauled up to that (for he was hesitency carried to excelcism) rather
amusedly replied: Woowoo would you be grossly surprised, Hill, to learn
that, as it so happens, I honestly have not such a thing as the loo, as the
least chance of a tinpanned crackler anywhere about me at the present
mohomoment but I believe I can see my way, as you suggest, it being Yuletide
or Yuddanfest and as it's mad nuts, son, for you when it's hatter's hares,
mon, for me, to advance you something like four and sevenpence between
hopping ar_d trapping which you might just as well have, boy baches, to buy
J. J. and S. with. There was a minute silence before memory's fire's
rekindling and then. Heart alive ! Which at very first wind of gay gay and
whiskwigs wick's ears pricked up, the starving gunman, strike him pink,
became strangely calm and forthright sware by all his lards porsenal that
the thorntree of sheol might ramify up his Sheofon to the lux apointlex but
he would go good to him suntime marx my word fort, for a chip off the old
Flint, (in the Nichtian glossery which purveys aprioric roots for
aposteriorious tongues this is nat language at any sinse of the world and
one might as fairly go and kish his sprogues as fail to certify whether the
wartrophy eluded at some lives earlier was that somethink like a jug, to
what, a coctable) and remarxing in languidoily, seemingly much more highly
pleased than tongue could tell at this opening of a lifetime and the
foretaste of the Dun Bank pearlmothers and the boy to wash down which he
would feed to himself in the Ruadh Cow at Tallaght and then into the Good
Woman at Ringsend and after her inat Conway's Inn at Blackrock and, first to
fall, cursed be all, where appetite would keenest be, atte, funeral fare or
fun fain real, Adam and Eve's in Quantity Street by the grace of gamy queen
Tailte, her will and testament: You stunning little southdowner! I'd know
you anywhere, Declaney, let me truthfully tell you in or out of the
lexinction of life and who the hell else, be your blanche patch on the boney
part! Goalball I've struck this daylit dielate night of nights, by golly! My
hat, you have some bully German grit, sundowner! He spud in his faust
(axin); he toped the raw best (pardun); he poked his pick (a tip is a tap):
and he tucked his friend's leave.And, with French hen or the portlifowlium
of hastes and leisures, about to continue that,the queer mixture exchanged
the pax in embrace or poghue puxy as practised between brothers of the same
breast, hillelulia, killelulia, allenalaw, and, having ratified before the
god of the day their torgantruce which belittlers have schmallkalled the
treatyng to cognac, turning his fez menialstrait in the direction of Moscas,
he first got rid of a few mitsmillers and hurooshoos and levanted off with
tubular jurbulance at a bull's run over the assback bridge,spitting his
teeths on rooths,with the seven and four in danegeld and their humoral
hurlbat or other uncertain weapon of lignum vitae, but so evermore
rhumanasant of a toboggan poop, picked up to keep some crowplucking
appointment with some rival rialtos anywheres between Pearidge and the
Littlehorn while this poor delaney, who they left along with the confederate
fender behind and who albeit ballsbluffed, bore up wonderfully wunder all of
it with a whole number of plumsized contusiums, plus alasalah bruised
coccyx, all over him, reported the occurance in the best way he could, to
the flabbergaze of the whole lab, giving the Paddybanners the military
salute as for his exilicy's the O'Daffy, in justifiable hope that, in
nobiloroman review of the hugely sitisfactuary conclusium of their
negotiations and the jugglemonkysh agripment deinderivative, some lotion or
fomentation of poppyheads would be jennerously exhibited to the parts, at
the nearest watchhouse in Vicar Lane, the white ground of his face all
covered with digonally redcrossed nonfatal mammalian blood as proofpositive
of the seriousness of his character and that he was bleeding in self
defience (stanch it!) from the nostrils, lips, pavilion and palate, while
some of his hitter's hairs had been pulled off his knut's head by Colt
though otherwise his allround health appeared to be middling along as it
proved most fortunate that not one of the two hundred and six bones and five
hundred and one muscles in his corso was a whit the whorse for her whacking.
Herwho?
Nowthen, leaving clashing ash, brawn and muscle and brassmade to oust
earthernborn and rockcrystal to wreck isinglass but wurming along gradually
for our savings backtowards motherwaters so many miles from bank and Dublin
stone (olympiading even till the eleventh dynasty to reach that
thuddysickend Hamlaugh) and to the question of boney's unlawfully obtaining
a pierced paraflamme and claptrap fireguard there crops out the still more
salient point of the politish leanings and town pursuits of our forebeer, El
Don De Dunelli, (may his ship thicked stick in the bottol of the river and
all his crewsers stock locked in the burral of the seas!) who, when within
the black of your toenail, sir, of being mistakenly ambushed by one of the
uddahveddahs, and as close as made no matter, mam, to being kayoed offhand
when the hyougono heckler with the Peter the Painter wanted to hole him, was
consistently practising the first of the primary and imprescriptible
liberties of the pacific subject by circulating (be British, boys to your
bellybone and chuck a chum a chance!) alongst one of our umphrohibited
semitary thrufahrts, open to buggy and bike, to walk, Wellington Park road,
with the curb or quaker's quacknostrum under his auxter and his alpenstuck
in his redhand, a highly commendable exercise, or, number two of our acta
legitima plebeia, on the brink (beware to baulk a man at his will!) of
taking place upon a public seat, to what, bare by Butt's, most easterly (but
all goes west!) of blackpool bridges, as a public protest and naturlikevice,
without intent to annoy either, being praisegood thankfully for the
wrathbereaved ringdove and the fearstung boaconstrictor and all the more
right jollywell pleased, which he was, at having other people's weather.
But to return to the atlantic and Phenitia Proper. As if that were not
to be enough for anyone but little headway, if any, was made in solving the
wasnottobe crime cunundrum when a child of Maam, Festy King, of a family
long and honourably associated with the tar and feather industries, who gave
an address in old plomansch Mayo of the Saxons in the heart of a foulfamed
potheen district, was subsequently haled up at the Old Bailey on the calends
of Mars, under an incompatibly framed indictment of both the counts (from
each equinoxious points of view, the one fellow's fetch being the other
