Number 7 Eccles Street

In Wandering Rocks Bloom is very, very close to Molly and his home. On pg. 192 Lenehan and M'Coy have just left Tom Rochford...the hero...and are passing under the Merchant's arch when they pass "Leopoldo or the Bloom is on the Rye". Shortly thereafter "a card Unfurnished Apartments reappeared on the windowsash of number 7 Eccles street". It's just a hunch at this point, but I'm assuming the card is an indicator that tells old Blazes Boylan that Molly is alone.
Then they begin talking about Molly and every hint points towards an affair between her and Lenehan. "-Hells delights! She has a fine pair, God bless her. Like that. He held his caved hands a cubit from him, frowning: -I was tucking the rug under her and settling her boa the whole time. Know what I mean?"
"Elijah, skiff, light crumpled throwaway, sailed eastward by flanks of ships and trawlers, amid an archipelago of corks, behond new Wapping street past Benson's ferry, and by the threemastered schooner Rosevean from Bridgwater to bricks." -205 ...Is Bloom Elijah? Is this a mapping of his course?
Blind stripling, pg. 205. Bloom helped this boy across the street, correct? When was this?
-Coactus volui. pg. 205--Having been forced I was willing.
