However
,
as
a
matter
of
fact
though
,
the
preposterous
surmise
about
him
being
in
some
description
of
a
doldrums
or
other
or
mesmerised
which
was
entirely
due
to
a
misconception
of
the
shallowest
character
,
was
not
the
case
at
all
.
The
individual
whose
visual
organs
while
the
above
was
going
on
were
at
this
juncture
commencing
to
exhibit
symptoms
of
animation
was
as
astute
if
not
astuter
than
any
man
living
and
anybody
that
conjectured
the
contrary
would
have
found
themselves
pretty
speedily
in
the
wrong
shop
.
During
the
past
four
minutes
or
thereabouts
he
had
been
staring
hard
at
a
certain
amount
of
number
one
Bass
bottled
by
Messrs
Bass
and
Co
at
Burton
-
on
-
Trent
which
happened
to
be
situated
amongst
a
lot
of
others
right
opposite
to
where
he
was
and
which
was
certainly
calculated
to
attract
anyone
’
s
remark
on
account
of
its
scarlet
appearance
.
He
was
simply
and
solely
,
as
it
subsequently
transpired
for
reasons
best
known
to
himself
,
which
put
quite
an
altogether
different
complexion
on
the
proceedings
,
after
the
moment
before
’
s
observations
about
boyhood
days
and
the
turf
,
recollecting
two
or
three
private
transactions
of
his
own
which
the
other
two
were
as
mutually
innocent
of
as
the
babe
unborn
.
Eventually
,
however
,
both
their
eyes
met
and
as
soon
as
it
began
to
dawn
on
him
that
the
other
was
endeavouring
to
help
himself
to
the
thing
he
involuntarily
determined
to
help
him
himself
and
so
he
accordingly
took
hold
of
the
neck
of
the
mediumsized
glass
recipient
which
contained
the
fluid
sought
after
and
made
a
capacious
hole
in
it
by
pouring
a
lot
of
it
out
with
,
also
at
the
same
time
,
however
,
a
considerable
degree
of
attentiveness
in
order
not
to
upset
any
of
the
beer
that
was
in
it
about
the
place
.
The
debate
which
ensued
was
in
its
scope
and
progress
an
epitome
of
the
course
of
life
.
Neither
place
nor
council
was
lacking
in
dignity
.
The
debaters
were
the
keenest
in
the
land
,
the
theme
they
were
engaged
on
the
loftiest
and
most
vital
.
The
high
hall
of
Horne
’
s
house
had
never
beheld
an
assembly
so
representative
and
so
varied
nor
had
the
old
rafters
of
that
establishment
ever
listened
to
a
language
so
encyclopaedic
.
A
gallant
scene
in
truth
it
made
.
Crotthers
was
there
at
the
foot
of
the
table
in
his
striking
Highland
garb
,
his
face
glowing
from
the
briny
airs
of
the
Mull
of
Galloway
.
There
too
,
opposite
to
him
,
was
Lynch
whose
countenance
bore
already
the
stigmata
of
early
depravity
and
premature
wisdom
.
Next
the
Scotchman
was
the
place
assigned
to
Costello
,
the
eccentric
,
while
at
his
side
was
seated
in
stolid
repose
the
squat
form
of
Madden
.
The
chair
of
the
resident
indeed
stood
vacant
before
the
hearth
but
on
either
flank
of
it
the
figure
of
Bannon
in
explorer
’
s
kit
of
tweed
shorts
and
salted
cowhide
brogues
contrasted
sharply
with
the
primrose
elegance
and
townbred
manners
of
Malachi
Roland
St
John
Mulligan
.
Lastly
at
the
head
of
the
board
was
the
young
poet
who
found
a
refuge
from
his
labours
of
pedagogy
and
metaphysical
inquisition
in
the
convivial
atmosphere
of
Socratic
discussion
,
while
to
right
and
left
of
him
were
accommodated
the
flippant
prognosticator
,
fresh
from
the
hippodrome
,
and
that
vigilant
wanderer
,
soiled
by
the
dust
of
travel
and
combat
and
stained
by
the
mire
of
an
indelible
dishonour
,
but
from
whose
steadfast
and
constant
heart
no
lure
or
peril
or
threat
or
degradation
could
ever
efface
the
image
of
that
voluptuous
loveliness
which
the
inspired
pencil
of
Lafayette
has
limned
for
ages
yet
to
come
.
It
had
better
be
stated
here
and
now
at
the
outset
that
the
perverted
transcendentalism
to
which
Mr
S
.
Dedalus
’
(
Div
.
Scep
.
)
contentions
would
appear
to
prove
him
pretty
badly
addicted
runs
directly
counter
to
accepted
scientific
methods
.
Science
,
it
cannot
be
too
often
repeated
,
deals
with
tangible
phenomena
.
The
man
of
science
like
the
man
in
the
street
has
to
face
hardheaded
facts
that
cannot
be
blinked
and
explain
them
as
best
he
can
.
There
may
be
,
it
is
true
,
some
questions
which
science
cannot
answer
—
at
present
—
such
as
the
first
problem
submitted
by
Mr
L
.
Bloom
(
Pubb
.
Canv
.
)
regarding
the
future
determination
of
sex
.
Must
we
accept
the
view
of
Empedocles
of
Trinacria
that
the
right
ovary
(
the
postmenstrual
period
,
assert
others
)
is
responsible
for
the
birth
of
males
or
are
the
too
long
neglected
spermatozoa
or
nemasperms
the
differentiating
factors
or
is
it
,
as
most
embryologists
incline
to
opine
,
such
as
Culpepper
,
Spallanzani
,
Blumenbach
,
Lusk
,
Hertwig
,
Leopold
and
Valenti
,
a
mixture
of
both
?
This
would
be
tantamount
to
a
cooperation
(
one
of
nature
’
s
favourite
devices
)
between
the
nisus
formativus
of
the
nemasperm
on
the
one
hand
and
on
the
other
a
happily
chosen
position
,
succubitus
felix
,
of
the
passive
element
.
The
other
problem
raised
by
the
same
inquirer
is
scarcely
less
vital
:
infant
mortality
.
It
is
interesting
because
,
as
he
pertinently
remarks
,
we
are
all
born
in
the
same
way
but
we
all
die
in
different
ways
.
Mr
M
.
Mulligan
(
Hyg
.
et
Eug
.
Doc
.
)
blames
the
sanitary
conditions
in
which
our
greylunged
citizens
contract
adenoids
,
pulmonary
complaints
etc
.
by
inhaling
the
bacteria
which
lurk
in
dust
.
These
factors
,
he
alleged
,
and
the
revolting
spectacles
offered
by
our
streets
,
hideous
publicity
posters
,
religious
ministers
of
all
denominations
,
mutilated
soldiers
and
sailors
,
exposed
scorbutic
cardrivers
,
the
suspended
carcases
of
dead
animals
,
paranoic
bachelors
and
unfructified
duennas
—
these
,
he
said
,
were
accountable
for
any
and
every
fallingoff
in
the
calibre
of
the
race
.
Kalipedia
,
he
prophesied
,
would
soon
be
generally
adopted
and
all
the
graces
of
life
,
genuinely
good
music
,
agreeable
literature
,
light
philosophy
,
instructive
pictures
,
plastercast
reproductions
of
the
classical
statues
such
as
Venus
and
Apollo
,
artistic
coloured
photographs
of
prize
babies
,
all
these
little
attentions
would
enable
ladies
who
were
in
a
particular
condition
to
pass
the
intervening
months
in
a
most
enjoyable
manner
.
Mr
J
.
Crotthers
(
Disc
.
Bacc
.
)
attributes
some
of
these
demises
to
abdominal
trauma
in
the
case
of
women
workers
subjected
to
heavy
labours
in
the
workshop
and
to
marital
discipline
in
the
home
but
by
far
the
vast
majority
to
neglect
,
private
or
official
,
culminating
in
the
exposure
of
newborn
infants
,
the
practice
of
criminal
abortion
or
in
the
atrocious
crime
of
infanticide
.
Although
the
former
(
we
are
thinking
of
neglect
)
is
undoubtedly
only
too
true
the
case
he
cites
of
nurses
forgetting
to
count
the
sponges
in
the
peritoneal
cavity
is
too
rare
to
be
normative
.
In
fact
when
one
comes
to
look
into
it
the
wonder
is
that
so
many
pregnancies
and
deliveries
go
off
so
well
as
they
do
,
all
things
considered
and
in
spite
of
our
human
shortcomings
which
often
baulk
nature
in
her
intentions
.
An
ingenious
suggestion
is
that
thrown
out
by
Mr
V
.
Lynch
(
Bacc
.
Arith
.
)
that
both
natality
and
mortality
,
as
well
as
all
other
phenomena
of
evolution
,
tidal
movements
,
lunar
phases
,
blood
temperatures
,
diseases
in
general
,
everything
,
in
fine
,
in
nature
’
s
vast
workshop
from
the
extinction
of
some
remote
sun
to
the
blossoming
of
one
of
the
countless
flowers
which
beautify
our
public
parks
is
subject
to
a
law
of
numeration
as
yet
unascertained
.
Still
the
plain
straightforward
question
why
a
child
of
normally
healthy
parents
and
seemingly
a
healthy
child
and
properly
looked
after
succumbs
unaccountably
in
early
childhood
(
though
other
children
of
the
same
marriage
do
not
)
must
certainly
,
in
the
poet
’
s
words
,
give
us
pause
.
Nature
,
we
may
rest
assured
,
has
her
own
good
and
cogent
reasons
for
whatever
she
does
and
in
all
probability
such
deaths
are
due
to
some
law
of
anticipation
by
which
organisms
in
which
morbous
germs
have
taken
up
their
residence
(
modern
science
has
conclusively
shown
that
only
the
plasmic
substance
can
be
said
to
be
immortal
)
tend
to
disappear
at
an
increasingly
earlier
stage
of
development
,
an
arrangement
which
,
though
productive
of
pain
to
some
of
our
feelings
(
notably
the
maternal
)
,
is
nevertheless
,
some
of
us
think
,
in
the
long
run
beneficial
to
the
race
in
general
in
securing
thereby
the
survival
of
the
fittest
.
Mr
S

Dedalus

(

remark
(
or
should
it
be
called
an
interruption
?
)
that
an
omnivorous
being
which
can
masticate
,
deglute
,
digest
and
apparently
pass
through
the
ordinary
channel
with
pluterperfect
imperturbability
such
multifarious
aliments
as
cancrenous
females
emaciated
by
parturition
,
corpulent
professional
gentlemen
,
not
to
speak
of
jaundiced
politicians
and
chlorotic
nuns
,
might
possibly
find
gastric
relief
in
an
innocent
collation
of
staggering
bob
,
reveals
as
nought
else
could
and
in
a
very
unsavoury
light
the
tendency
above
alluded
to
.
For
the
enlightenment
of
those
who
are
not
so
intimately
acquainted
with
the
minutiae
of
the
municipal
abattoir
as
this
morbidminded
esthete
and
embryo
philosopher
who
for
all
his
overweening
bumptiousness
in
things
scientific
can
scarcely
distinguish
an
acid
from
an
alkali
prides
himself
on
being
,
it
should
perhaps
be
stated
that
staggering
bob
in
the
vile
parlance
of
our
lowerclass
licensed
victuallers
signifies
the
cookable
and
eatable
flesh
of
a
calf
newly
dropped
from
its
mother
.
In
a
recent
public
controversy
with
Mr
L

Bloom
(
Pubb

which
took
place
in
the
commons
’
hall
of
the
National
Maternity
Hospital
,
29
,
30
and
31
Holles
street
,
of
which
,
as
is
well
known
,
Dr
A
.
Horne
(
Lic

in

,
F
.
K

Q
.
C

P

)
is
the
able
and
popular
master
,
he
is
reported
by
eyewitnesses
as
having
stated
that
once
a
woman
has
let
the
cat
into
the
bag
(
an
esthete
’

allusion
,
presumably
,
to
one
of
the
most
complicated
and
marvellous
of
all
nature
’
s
processes
—
the
act
of
sexual
congress
)
she
must
let
it
out
again
or
give
it
life
,
as
he
phrased
it
,
to
save
her
own
.
At
the
risk
of
her
own
,
was
the
telling
rejoinder
of
his
interlocutor
,
none
the
less
effective
for
the
moderate
and
measured
tone
in
which
it
was
delivered
.
