What I meant about tennis...

-I heard So and So made a cool huncred quid over it, says Alf.
-Who? Blazes? says Joe.
And says Bloom:
-What I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye.

Poor Bloom trying to divert the subject from Blazes Boylan...again.

later...
And Bloom cuts in again aboiut lawn tennis and the circulation of the bloodm, asking Alf,
-Now don't you think Bergen?

So it's Percy Keogh and Myler Bennett, correct?
Marion of the bountiful bosoms. -262

People present at Barney Keirnan's pub: Joe Hynes, the narrator, the citizen (Polyphemus?), Garryowen...now known as Owen Gary (very grumpy canine), Terence O'Ryan (bartender), Alf Bergan, (Breen waddles by, wife in tow...U.p: up), Bob Doran (hammered), Bloom, J.J. O'Molloy, Ned Lambert, John Wyse Nolan, Matt Lenehan, Martin Cunningham (later) with Jack Power,

And Bloom letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner behind the barrel, adn the citizen scowling after him and the old dog at his feet looking up to know who to bite and when. -266

A striking arrangement of Woodman, spare that tree... -269

This chapter makes fun of everything.

The winebark on the winedark waterway -269... a touch of Homer

Old Vic... "And as for the Prooshians and Hanoverians, says Joe, haven't we had enoiugh of those sausageeating bastards on the throne from George the elector down to the German lad and the flatulent old bitch that's dead?" -271

Then Bloom leaves...he is just really flustered because of his day, it seems, but this chapter's depiction of him is really confusing. He doesn't seem to be the person the narrator is describing at all, so I think this is a really important instance of everyone else's perspective concerning Bloom. It's really sad. It kind of reminds me of the suitors disparaging Odysseus, especially since most, if not all, of these men represent possible lovers of Molly's.

Love... Old Mr Verschoyle with the ear trumpet loves old Mrs Verschoyle with the turnedin eye.

and S. Anonymous and S. Eponymous and S. Pseudonymus and S. Homonymous and S. Paronymous and S. Synonymous....I can't help but think of Numbers.
