What kind of ability would Higuchi have and its potential name?
Hi to whoever is reading this! This is my first self-written post so I’m still figuring out how all this works and I’m sorry, if it gets a bit chaotic. Anyways, recently, I came across a question regarding Higuchi from Bungou Stray Dogs. It was about what Higuchi’s ability would be called and what type it would be. So I won’t go into details whether she has an ability or not. I believe she has since she is named after an author (and Asagiri himself kinda confirmed it via Twitter). Thus, I just want to write my thoughts on the potential names and kind of ability. 
Since abilities in the BSD world are always named after rather well-known works of the authors, I compared some of the famous works of Higuchi Ichiyo. Now mind you, I haven’t read her works myself. I mostly relied on comparing summaries and analyses of them. Since there are not a lot of summaries, I read two lesser-known stories myself. I will add the links of the summaries/analyses of the works down below. However, while comparing I found two works that would fit Higuchi. Now, first what do I mean by “fit”? Well, it might be best to start explaining what I think about the type of Higuchi’s ability.  
I believe Higuchi has not an offensive type of ability. Nothing like Atsushi’s, Akutagawa’s, Kyouka’s etc. If she had, I’m sure she would have used it already, since she’s fighting a lot with her guns, why wouldn’t she use her ability as an addition, why would she hide it? There are two possibilities why we haven’t seen her ability yet. First possibility would be that her ability is not visible like Odasaku’s or Ango’s, maybe it’s even an ability that she hasn’t even discovered, just like Fukuzawa hasn’t realized he has one before the ADA. Second would be that she can use her ability only under stringent conditions. And I believe it’s the latter, hear me out. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Remember this scene from Chapter 14? Higuchi reaches out to hold Akutagawa’s hand but then pulls back because she remembered him saying that he doesn’t need her help. Now, you could argue that holding the hands of injured loved ones is a gesture of closeness, a way to show them your support, a way to tell them that you’re staying by their side. And Aku doesn’t want this support, so that’s why she retracted her hand. But something bothers me here. In this scene it looks like Aku slapped Higuchi’s hand away, doesn’t it? And then he says, he doesn’t need her help, instead of support. I know, you could say support and help are almost the same. But to me, help is something that you do more “actively”, while support can be something passive. What if Higuchi’s hand represents this “active” help? And what would actively help Akutagawa in this very moment? A healing ability for example. Coincidentally, in the panel before, Hirotsu asks Higuchi what power she posses to make them [the black lizard] obey. Is this a hint that there is a hint about Higuchi’s ability in the next panel? Maybe. But let’s look at the next panel. It’s the title page of this chapter. 
Tumblr media
As you can see, Higuchi has a bandage wrapped around her leg and they seem connected to Akutagawa. In this chapter, it is revealed that Higuchi contemplated about leaving the Port Mafia but her reason for staying is implied to be Akutagawa. This is perfectly symbolized by the bandages in this title page. The bandages coming from Akutagawa are holding her leg back, stopping her from walking away from the PM. But maybe there is a second interpretation? If you’re looking at Akutagawa’s left hand, the bandages are starting to come off. What if this means Akutagawa is healing and doesn’t need the bandages anymore? Instead it wraps around Higuchi’s leg, restricting her movement. What if Higuchi’s ability allows her to help someone else (doesn’t have to be necessarily a healing ability) but in exchange she needs to sacrifice something? Anyways, I think she has an ability which allows her to help other people in a non-combat way. With this in mind, I was looking through several works of Higuchi Ichiyo, searching for something that “fits”. Meaning that I was looking for parallels and themes in irl Higuchi’s stories that could be “converted” into an ability. Just like the coat that the protagonist of Rashomon stole in order to now die of hunger was used as Akutagawa’s ability which seems to be able to eat everything, or like the wish that one’s brother does not die in war in Thou Shalt Not Die became Yosano’s ability and serving as a basis of her background story. Anyways, I’d like to present the works that could be used for Higuchi’s ability and draw some parallels. 
1. The Thirteen’s Night
The story revolves around a poor woman, called Oseki. Thanks to her marriage to a rich man, her family was able to live a better life and her brother found a job. But on the thirteenth night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar (one of two special nights for moon viewing), Oseki visited her parents with the intention on asking her parents for approval for divorcing her husband. Before entering, she overhears her parents talking about how lucky they are that they have such good children who don’t cause trouble and that they are very thankful for this marriage. Hesitating at first, she finally goes in and admits that she wants to divorce her husband because he abuses her mentally. He insults her constantly and tells her that she's worthless, stupid, and uneducated. Her mother is outraged. But her father, even though he acknowledges her suffering, reminds her what her husband has done for this family and that she would lose her son since women couldn’t get custody of their children after a divorce at that time. Agreeing with her father, Oseki decides to go back to her husband: 
“It was selfish of me to think of a divorce. You're right. If I couldn't see Tarō, there'd be no point in living. I might flee my present sorrows, but what kind of future would I have? If I could think of myself as already dead, that would solve everything… Then Tarō would have both his parents with him. It was a foolish idea I had, and I've troubled you with the whole unpleasant business. From tonight I will consider myself dead — a spirit who watches over Tarō. That way I can bear Isamu's cruelty for a hundred years to come.” 
– In The Shade of Spring Leaves, translated by Robert Lyons Danly
Just like BSD Higuchi contemplates leaving the PM, the protagonist here wants to leave her husband. The PM is like the husband. It allows her to support herself and probably her family (at least we saw that she has a sister). But there is constant abuse. Akutagawa is clearly the biggest source of abuse that we can see. But it’s not only him. In Chapter 14, Mori asks her if she is really suited for this job. Telling her indirectly that she is useless or that she is too weak for the PM. Later, you can see the Black Lizard doubting her capabilities, even threatening her. But just like Oseki she stays because of a loved one. What really concerns me is Oseki saying that she will consider herself as a dead spirit watching over Tarō. What if Higuchi, in order to use her ability, has to sacrifice part of her lifespan? Or maybe she loses a feeling? Like e.g. she loses the ability to feel happiness, making her a bit more dead inside? If you draw this parallel, you could also say that when ‘consider myself dead’ is the condition of the ability, then ‘watching over Tarō’ is a hint to Higuchi’s ability. An ability that allows her to watch over and protect her loved ones? This theme fits Higuchi perfectly, since a big topic in Higuchi’s story line is how she wants to help and protect Akutagawa. So it makes sense that her ability might be something that would help him (**intensely squinting at the recent events in the manga, especially chapter 88**). Moving on to the second possibility before the pain starts to set in. 
2. Takekurabe (literally: "Comparing heights", "Child's Play" in the Robert Lyons Danly translation, "Growing Up" in the Edward Seidensticker translation)
Now this is considered as Higuchi Ichiyo’s masterpiece. So the chances are high that the ability is based on this story. The story accompanies a group of children who live next to the Yoshiwara quarter. There are two rival gangs: the main street gang (’omote-machi’), lead by Shōtarō, a cultivated young boy who is the grandson of the owner of a pawnshop, and the back street gang (’yoko-chō’), lead by Chōkichi, the impulsive firefighter’s son. (Maybe a parallel to the ADA with (cultivated) Fukuzawa and the PM with Mori who’s a doctor which belongs into the same category of occupation as firefighters?). Among the main street gang, there was Midori, popular and pretty, who lives in the brothel where her sister works. Shōtarō probably has a crush on her. But Midori probably has feelings for the other main character, Nobu, the son of a Buddhist priest. Even though he returns her feelings, he distances himself from her out of his self-consciousness. Later he joins the rival gang after repeated request by Chōkichi. Anyways, they spend their days very care-free, attending school, playing with each other after school. One day, some conflict arises between the gangs and Midori, while protecting someone else, gets slapped by Chōkichi with a sandal. He then proceeds to tell her that their gang is backed by no other than Nobu. Midori feels humiliated and stops going to school. Soon she also stops playing with the other children. After some time passed, Midori is seen with her hair all done up. She has become a distant, lady-like young woman. This probably means that she got her first period and is old enough to become a prostitute or that she just had her first client as a courtesan. Little by little, the children grow up. Nobu is sent off to be trained as a priest and Shōtarō has come to accept the responsibilities of his family’s shop. 
There are several themes in this story that I’d like to point out, namely unrequited love, Midori’s transformation and underlying unchangeable fates. The first one is obviously a big theme in Higuchi’s story. Midori and Nobu are unable to express their love for each other because of their positions in life. Just like Higuchi is unable to express her feelings for Akutagawa. If you want some hope, AkuHigu shippers, maybe Aku has also feelings for Higuchi but is still very confused and self-conscious about it just like Nobu. Anyways, because of their positions in the PM, it would make everything very complicated if Higuchi confessed. Additionally, Midori feels like she was humiliated by her love when she got slapped by that sandal. I’m sure that Higuchi gets humiliated by Akutagawa a lot. The next theme is Midori’s transformation from a tomboyish to a lady-like, distant woman. We all know Higuchi looks really badass in her suits. But again, look at the title page of chapter 14. Higuchi is dressed up all prettily and lady-like in a dress, and her hair is done all up. Just like Midori after her transformation. Midori’s transformation stands for Midori accepting her occupation as a prostitute even though she doesn’t want to. In this chapter, we see that Higuchi has accepted her job in the PM, even though she doesn’t want to do this job. At the end Shōtarō sings the following: 
"Growing up,
she plays among the butterflies
and flowers.
But she turns sixteen,
and all she knows
is work and sorrow."
– In The Shade of Spring Leaves, translated by Robert Lyons Danly
I don’t know about you guys, but to me that necklace that Higuchi is wearing in that title page looks like a butterfly to me. This is really farfetched but maybe this could be a hint about when Higuchi joined the Port Mafia? However, the biggest theme in Takekurabe is the underlying unchangeable fate of the children. Shōtarō was destined to become the next owner of the pawnshop, Nabu was destined to become a Buddhist monk and Midori would become a prostitute. Maybe this gives us some insight into why Higuchi joined the PM? Maybe one of her parents was a PM member? I also like to think that since Aku is in the PM, since she wants to be with him, she can’t but stay in the PM, and this is her fate. Nevertheless, fate is a central theme in Takekurabe. This is the reason why I think, if the ability is based on this story, Higuchi’s ability would be something like changing fates. Changing fate of someone else but in return she must sacrifice something. 
Okay, so this post has become quite long. But I still wanted to mention two other stories Yamizakura (Flowers at Dusk) and The Sound of the Koto where I saw a lot of parallels. I just want to briefly tell you the story of The Sound of the Koto. In this story a woman abandons her son in order to leave her husband who has a bad reputation. The husband then turns into an alcoholic and dies later at a party because of alcohol intoxication. The boy becomes hardened to the world, despises his mother for leaving them, and even contemplates suicide. The story shifts then to a woman playing the koto.  I want to give you an excerpt for the end of this story: 
“On this night the sound of the woman’s playing helped another to be reborn. Through fourteen springs and fourteen autumns, the boy had been buffeted by the rains. His heart had gradually toughened until it had become as hard as stone. No arrow could penetrate it. He seemed destined to follow the example of his father, to die among the fields or in the mountains, where his remains would be bleached by the elements. Some were convinced the boy’s life would end in prison chains, while his bad name spread to every roadside. 
But now, at once, the tenderness buried in his heart was freed by the midnight strains of the koto. For the first time in many years, he felt tears come to his eyes. Or were they jewelled drops of dew? He would not exchange them for anything. 
He, who had known neither love nor compassion, and who had no idea what the player of these refrains could even look like, felt a moment of happiness as the music drifted over the garden wall. […]
[…] How could a stormy wind blow now? The clouds in his heart had disappeared. Once more the woman began to play. The sound of the koto would be his friend for a hundred years, the seed for a hundred years of yearning. He had entered a world where a hundred different flowers wer in bloom. 
– In The Shade of Spring Leaves, translated by Robert Lyons Danly
This boy somehow just reminds me so much of Akutagawa. Just like this boy, without any parents and home, wandering around in this world, Akutagawa has become hardened to the world. I’d like to think that Higuchi’s ability could free Akutagawa from his pain, just like the sound of koto does for this boy. 
So, now I said everything I wanted to say, I guess. If there is really anyone reading this and reading this until here, thank you so much! I appreciate it very much that you kept reading even though my thoughts are probably quite chaotic. I’m sorry if there are any grammar mistakes or weird sentence structures or anything like this. English is not my first language. I’m very happy, if you could point out any mistakes or have any suggestion for improvement. Lastly, I just want to remind you that these are my thoughts, I love discussing so feel free to comment your thoughts but I’d like you to keep in mind that there is not necessarily a wrong or right, theories are theories, interpretations are interpretations. Everyone has another interpretation. They can only be proven wrong by Asagiri sensei himself. Until then just keep the discussions friendly and tolerant towards other people’s thoughts and opinions.

The Pursuit of Two Left Feet Ch 2 - Anderperry
Hey guys! Here‘s the final part of the fic. I hope you enjoy it! You can also read this on ao3 here.
Summary: Neil made the mistake of telling Charlie about his feelings for a certain poetic blonde, and in true Nuwanda fashion, he got up to some mischief. Now, stuck in a plan to sneak out of school to go to an underground swing dance club, Neil has to make the best of it and pray to God his father doesn’t find out. Hopefully, Neil will get something out of this excursion, perhaps the heart of the object of his affection. He believes it’s nothing more than a dream, a wish. However, Todd Anderson falling for Neil is more likely to happen than he thinks.
Part 1
~
Neil, Todd, you two ready for tonight?” Charlie asks, wiggling his eyebrows as he peeks his head into their room Friday morning.
“As ready as ever,” Neil says, the pit in his stomach growing at the reminder. He still doesn’t know what he’ll do if and when his father finds out.
Charlie pats the doorframe and winks at them before disappearing down the hall.
Neil turns to Todd who’s putting his sweater on, not phased by Charlie’s appearance. “This is not gonna go well,” Neil grumbles.
Todd laughs as the two grab their bags and decide to head down to breakfast.
The whole school day Neil’s thoughts are directed to the vision of sitting in Nolan’s office with his father, his life officially over. If this goes south, Neil’s father will never let him down for it. He wants to have faith in Charlie, but part of him struggles to. Charlie doesn’t care about getting in trouble, he wants to get kicked out. Neil just doesn’t think he’s really thinking this whole thing through.
During english, Neil notices that Mr. Keating shoots him a couple knowing looks, a flash of a smile that’s gone before Neil can process it. It makes him nervous, wondering if somehow he found out about their plan and therefore so did Nolan. Keating would never fink, but Charlie isn’t particularly great at keeping his mouth shut.
That night, Charlie grabs Neil’s suit and drags him to the bathroom,  shoving a hair comb and gel into his hands.
“Charlie, aren’t we making this a bit obvious if we’re getting ready in the bathrooms? Hager is gonna see us.”
“Relax, there’s no reason to hide. This is allowed,” Charlie says. “But I won’t be getting ready here, I have a new suit to give Todd, so we’ll be in my room. See ya!”
Before Neil can object and question his motive, Charlie is out of sight. Neil shakes his head and begins changing into the suit, trying to push back the looming anxiety of his father finding out about this scheme.
As he's combing his hair into place, he hears two pairs of feet barge into the bathroom, and in the reflection of the mirror is Charlie with Todd in tow.
“Perry! Lookin’ like a dreamboat!”
Neil nods in thanks before turning to Todd, whose mouth is open slightly, his eyes roaming up and down his body. “Um, you… you look… really nice,” Todd mutters with a gulp.
“Thank you, uh, so do you,” Neil replies distractedly, his eyes unable to focus on a single part of Todd as he takes in the sight of him. Todd looks incredible in his suit, and he’s surprised Charlie did such an amazing job dressing him. It fits him perfectly, as if it tailored to his exact measurements—he wouldn’t be surprised if that was intentional on Charlie’s part. The coat, tie and slacks are a rich navy blue with a white button up underneath, and the color makes his eyes gleam. His hair is slicked back with gel, revealing more of his face, his cheekbones appearing more prominent. It makes him look more open, soft, and Neil is completely stunned. He’s always thought Todd is handsome, but right now he’s completely mesmerizing.
“Earth to Neil?” Charlie calls, waving a hand in his face. Neil blinks rapidly and clears his throat. “Hey, your bow tie’s crooked. Todd, fix it for him, yeah? I’ll be right back,” he says, giving Todd’s shoulder a firm pat before swaggering over to Meeks who’s combing his hair at the other side of the bathroom.
“Uh, sure,” Todd stammers a beat late, his eyes darting around nervously. He steps up to Neil, reaching out with slight hesitation. Neil holds in a breath as he adjusts the tie back into place. He inadvertently stares at Todd's focused face, tempted to press a soft kiss to his now exposed forehead.
“Alright, let's head out!” Charlie shouts, motioning for them to head out into the hall. Todd pulls back, ducking his head and walking out of the bathroom in one swift motion. Neil sighs, turning his head and catching Charlie’s knowing gaze as he heads towards him. He throws an arm around Neil’s shoulder and leads him out.
Together, the boys make their way outside into the cold night, all of them chattering excitedly. Awaiting them, leaning against his car looking ready for a night out, is Mr. Keating.
Neil gapes. “Charlie, how did you…”
“Amazing, right?” Charlie says proudly, stalking off to the car.
“Hello boys, you all look fetching. Ready?” Mr. Keating greets the noisy bunch, a wide grin on his face as they approach him.
Before Neil can even say anything, he’s being shoved into the backseat, smushed between Todd and Charlie in the third row. Knox lays himself across the boys, his face right in front of Charlie’s.
“I’m liking this view,” Charlie smirks.
Knox rolls his eyes, slapping Charlie’s shoulder. “Shut up.”
“Wait, Captain, are you coming with us to the club?” Pitts asks as he slides into the second row after Meeks, closing the door.
“Oh no,” Keating chuckles, turning the car on. “I’m much too old for a hullabaloo. Don’t sweat it, this old man has plans of his own with a special lady tonight.”
The boys all holler and whistle, making Keating flush in embarrassment. “Yes, yes, your teacher has a real life too, I know it’s surprising. Let’s get rolling!” He calls, putting the car in motion.
“Captain, how did the school allow this?” Neil can’t help asking. Charlie gives him a look, but he ignores it.
“Well, they think we’re off to see an invigorating show about the life and work of William Shakespeare. As illuminating as I imagine it would be, that is not on the itinerary for you boys tonight. You’re off to a much more exciting endeavor filled with music, dancing, and a bit of romance,” he says, and Neil swears Keating meets his eyes through the rear view mirror. He looks away hastily.
“Aww, that actually sounded pretty interesting…” Cameron mutters, trailing off forlornly and glancing out the window.
Charlie elbows Neil in the ribs to make a point, and he makes an effort to hold in a groan. “We can drop you off there if you’d like Cameron?” Charlie smirks.
Neil returns the elbow in reprimand and Charlie squawks indignantly. “We can all go see that another time. I’m sure it’s quite interesting,” he says, sending Charlie a glare that he responds to with sticking his tongue out childishly. Knox snorts, resulting in a jab in the ribs courtesy of Charlie.
“Good idea,” Cameron says, his face lighting up. “You know, something  interesting about Shakespeare is that there was a seven year period between 1585 and 1592 where no one knew—”
“I’m going to claw my ears out before the end of this car ride and you’ll be next,” Charlie whispers aggravatedly in Neil’s ear.
“You’ll forget that as soon as we get there and you spot someone attractive,” Neil says wryly.
Charlie leans back, taking a deep breath with a startling, fierce look in his eye. Oh God…
“Thou doth thinketh I'm a predictable young squire? I willith kick thy bosom!” Charlie pronounces, sticking his finger in the air. Knox rolls his eyes.
“Charlie, a bosom is a woman’s chest,” Neil chuckles.
“Thine ears will suffer great of mine Shakespearean drivel until a most suffering death graces itself upon thee when mine fist meetseth thy cheek,” he says, folding his hand into a tight fist.
“I feel like you speak Shakespeare a bit too well for you to hate it as much as you say you do,” Knox prods with a crooked smile.
Charlie turns to Knox, leaning into his face. “Thou wilist meet a fate much alike if thou speaketh onward.”
“Bite me, nerd,” Knox grins.
In a blink, Charlie attacks Knox with his fingers, tickling his armpits and ribcage fervently as he cackles wickedly. Knox yelps and squirms fiercely, kicking his legs erratically, his arms flailing.
“Boy, boys, I’m all for a bit of roughhousing but please settle down until we get there,” Mr. Keating cuts in.
Charlie lets off, allowing Knox to catch his breath, and they both call back a low ‘yes, Captain.’ Neil feels Todd’s quiet laughs beside him, the breath hot beside his ear. He tries not to shiver at the sensation by focusing on the road ahead. They pass by trees lining both sides of the street, and in the distance he can see the beginnings of the town. As they proceed, he can make out the buildings, growing larger with each passing second. The illuminating signs on the buildings shine high above the people walking merrily down the sidewalk, contrasting the subdued ambience of their school. Neil thrums in excitement, and he tries to stay hopeful, pushing down the looming anxiety that this will all suddenly go wrong.
“I-I guess Charlie was right. This is working out.”
Neil looks at Todd, an amused smile gracing his face. “Yes, for now. Though any minute I anticipate something to blow up,” Neil jokes, knowing Charlie can hear him.
“Hey now, we’re off to fill our minds with the knowledge of the legendary William Shakespeare. If anything, Nolan is happy that a select few of Keating’s students seek such a riveting educational opportunity,” Charlie says in his most dramatic tone, and Knox sends him an exasperated look.
“Right.” Neil scoffs, earning poke on the cheek. Neil responds with a quick pinch on Charlie’s thigh, eliciting a yelp from him. Knox cackles as Charlie attempts to attack back with jabs to his arm and ribs, Neil giving a harder pinch on his arm. Before he can continue the attack, a hand wraps around his wrist, stopping his movement.
“I- we can’t until we get there. Captain’s orders,“ Todd says, flushing.
“It’s alright, trouble is what I live for,” Charlie says though he lets off, leaning over the seat to pull Meek’s hair. “Right Meeks?”
Neil hasn’t moved, his brain still frozen at Todd’s touch. “I- right.” Neil laughs faintly. He shakes his head and pulls his hand into his lap, ignoring the looks he’s getting from Charlie and Knox.
Neil stays silent the rest of the car ride, tuning out everyone’s voices around him. He’s fighting to ignore the feel of Todd’s leg pressed against his, the slight shake of his leg as he bounces it anxiously, the sight of his fingers tapping on his leg in repeated patterns. It’s also impossible to forget the feel of Todd’s hand circling his arm, his touch soft, almost like a caress. Neil aches to place his hand in Todd’s lap and let him hold it how he wants, yearning to feel his palm against his skin, perhaps in his own hand, once again.
Eventually, Keating pulls over in front of a lit up, cozy diner, with a neon sign hanging up titled “Leggy’s Breakfast Town.” Next to it is a smaller sign that reads, “Open 24 hours.”
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow,” Mr. Keating says as the boys all climb out of the car.
“Romeo and Juliet!” Knox calls back proudly, closing the door once he steps onto the pavement.
“You got it Mr. Overstreet! Have fun!” Mr. Keating drives off, waving at them through the window before disappearing down the street.
Suddenly, Neil hears a car door open. He turns to see a green car parked up ahead, and stepping out of it is Chris in a flowy, emerald dress reaching her knees, fit slim on her waist. When Knox catches sight of her, he stares, drooling.
“Hey Knox,” Chris says with a radiant smile as she walks over to the group, her heels clicking on the sidewalk with each step.
“Chris… wow, you look…” he stumbles.
“Knox, save it for the club, come on buddy,” Charlie cuts in, clapping his shoulder and steering him inside. The other boys and Chris all tumble into the diner, following Charlie and Knox into the diner. The place is packed, filled with loud families and couples, eating burgers and dipping their fries in milkshakes, so no one bats an eye as the group crowds in the entrance.
Charlie stops and looks around before spotting a waiter cleaning behind the counter. He approaches the counter and leans over, resting his elbows on the surface with his famous Charlie smirk in place. “Hello, we’re here about your duck special,” he says in a low yet overly casual tone.
The waiter, a long haired boy looking about their age, holds Charlie’s gaze for a moment before nodding. “Yes, right this way,” he says, walking toward a long hallway. Neil glances at Todd who looks just as confused as he does before they walk after them. They reach a door that opens to a flight of dark, descending stairs, and the waiter leads them down, instructing the last person to close the door behind them.
“Isn’t it a bit noticeable when they take a bunch of teenagers to the back room that they’re not here for dinner?” Neil whispers furiously in Charlie’s ear after catching up to him.
“Relax, everyone here knows about the club, but no one says anything about it. They make major dough, so no one complains. The customers get good food, and the city makes capital. It’s a win win.”
Neil shakes his head as they reach the bottom, and the waiter opens the door, revealing a huge, bright room buzzing with life. It’s packed with people dressed in their most fancy attire—women in stunning, flowy dresses and men wearing fine suits. He sees numerous couples dancing across the expansive dance floor and others chatting away with cocktails in hand and wide smiles on their faces. Neil stares in awe, taking in the sight, unable to fathom that he’s standing here right now. He’s half expecting his father to appear any moment to shut down the place, ready to drag Neil home and give him the reprimand of his life. Abruptly, he feels Charlie pat his shoulder, which brings him back to himself.
“Alright mates, I’ve got some ladies to charm and men to woo, enjoy yourselves,” he says to the group with a wink before disappearing into the fray.
Neil stands there dumbly as the other boys start wandering off into the room. Since when does Charlie say ‘mates’? he wonders bemusedly. He hears someone clear their throat beside him and he turns to see Todd still standing there, looking at him with a nervous but expectant expression. A flash of panic shoots through him. This is it, the moment he’s been dreading and waiting for this entire week. He opens his mouth, the words on his lips, and panics.
“So… a drink?” Neil suggests, hating himself.
“I- uh, yeah sure. I’ll come with you..?”
“No, no. I’ll go. Find us a table?”
“Yeah sure,” he says, looking almost disappointed.
At that, Neil flees to the bar to get away from Todd, his heart crying more the further he goes. As he approaches, he schools his features into a more mature, serious look and straightens his posture. He leans over the counter until the bar man catches sight of him.
“I’ll have your strongest, please, and something sweet,” he says hastily as the bar man walks over. He frowns slightly, but just nods. “You got it.”
When he turns around, Neil releases a long breath, slouching over the bar. He’s such a fucking coward. Charlie put too much faith in him, there’s no way he can do this. Todd is just going to reject him and that’ll be the end of their friendship. He can’t afford to lose it.
Soon, the bar man returns with the drinks before turning to another customer. Neil grabs them and turns around, taking a step away from the bar to scan for Todd. He walks listlessly as he looks, but stumbles when he catches Todd on the dance floor with some random guy.
Suddenly, he collides into someone’s chest, and he returns his gaze in front of him to see his drinks spill right onto a man’s shirt, staining the white button up red. Neil pales in horror. “Oh my— I’m so sorry, I—”
“No! Don’t worry about it, nothing I can’t get out later,” the man says, sending Neil a reassuring smile. Neil’s face heats up at the sight—he’s quite attractive. He’s tall and lean with golden hair and a charming smile. His eyes are a blinding blue, shining in amusement.
“Want this one? I have an extra. They’re not the best here, but they sure do the trick,” he says, holding out a small, dark colored drink.
“Sure, thanks,” Neil says, putting his emptied drinks onto the bar with a grimace and accepting the glass. He takes a quick sip and has to withhold a cough at the strength of the drink, not wanting to embarrass himself.
“What are you doing on your own? Come here with anyone? Surely you didn’t have two drinks for yourself,” he chuckles softly.
“Yeah, my friends,” he says solemnly, his eyes glued to Todd across the room, having a grand old time with some stranger.
“Where are they?” he asks.
Neil watches dolefully as Todd is swung around the dance floor, his smile bright, blinding. He feels the man follow his gaze and soon he makes a noise of realization.
“Ah, I get it. You like him?”
Neil flushes, almost choking on his drink. “Wha— um… it’s…”
“No judgement, that charming fella over there is my boyfriend,” he says, pointing to the far corner of the dance floor where he’s dancing with a woman around his age, tall and gorgeous. They’re moving together like water, twirling around the floor without missing a single beat. It’s incredible. “Plus, this place is meant for people like us, so don’t sweat it,” the man adds.
People like us, Neil repeats internally. He supposes the man’s not wrong. Neil has come to accept that he isn't like most other boys his age, especially not the kind his father wants him to be. He relents with a sigh. “Well, yeah, fine. I do. Like him, that is.”
The man hums understandingly, taking a swig of his drink. “Does he know it?”
Neil shakes his head. “No, it’d ruin… everything.”
“Why’s that?”
“Well… I don’t think he’s…” Neil trails off, a part of him still terrified of saying the word.
The man laughs, which makes Neil frown. “I’ve been there too. I get that it’s scary, risking your friendship like that. But that’s the thing about life, sometimes it’s worth taking that leap. What’s that one saying… carpa dem…”
“Carpe diem,” Neil corrects, hiding a smile.
He snaps his fingers. “Yes! Carpe diem.”
Neil huffs a laugh at the irony. “Yeah, I try to live by that every day, actually.”
“Well, then why is this any different?”
“Because… he’s the most important person in my life. If I lost him…” Neil swallows, looking away.
“I see,” he says, taking a breath. “Well, I’m not gonna sit here and force you to do anything, this is your life. But take it from someone who was in your shoes once. If he’s meant to be in your life, telling him won’t ruin a thing. If not, then it means there’s someone else out there who’s meant for you.”
Neil simply nods. This man doesn’t understand that no one could ever replace Todd, but he doesn’t bother explaining it. “Yeah, well my father wouldn’t be pleased by this either.”
“Not accepting?”
“That’s putting it lightly,” Neil says. “He’s trying to take hold of my entire life, insisting I have to go to Harvard, go to medical school and become a doctor.”
The man sighs sympathetically. “That’s a tough situation, what do you want to do instead?”
“Act, but that’s never going to happen,” he snorts.
“You know, my boyfriend said the same thing when he was around your age.”
Neil whips his head towards him in shock. “Really? He’s an actor?”
“Yeah, and he loved it. Now, he owns a small, local theater for children and teens in New York.
“That’s amazing,” Neil breathes.
“It is, I’m proud of him,” he says with a fond smile.
A part of Neil wonders if that future is possible for him, that despite everything, he has a shot. But even that doesn't overpower the voice in his head telling him it’s impossible, so he moves on from the thought. “What do you do?” Neil asks, taking a large sip of his drink, ignoring the burning in his throat as he swallows.
“Nothing nearly as exciting. I’m a lawyer,” he laughs. Neil nods. “Do you like it?”
The man shrugs slightly with a smile. “I do now, but I didn’t at first. Too much paperwork and talking to a bunch of stuck up people in overpriced suits. But then I got a case where I was defending this girl who was getting abused by her boyfriend. We won the case, and when I saw her face, it reminded me why I wanted to do this in the first place, to help people. It’s cheesy, but true.
“That’s really great,” Neil says.
“Thanks. But just know I’m not saying that to make you feel bad for not wanting to be a doctor,” he clarifies.
“Oh, no of course, I get it,” he says, not offended. He understands that helping others that way is their calling, but in Neil’s heart he knows it's not meant for him.
“My mother wasn’t very accepting of my choice of career either. Growing up, she wanted me to take over the family business. We own a restaurant in town called “Leandro’s Italian Restaurant.” My grandfather opened it, and after he got old, he passed it onto my mom. But let me tell you, I’m the last person you want in the kitchen. I manage to burn anything I lay my eyes on. Andrew won’t let me lift a finger when making dinner,” he chuckles.
“But she let you pursue that career instead when you told her?”
“Yeah, but I know it’s only because it pays well,” he says regretfully. “Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Andrew’s parents were horrified at the idea of him becoming an actor. He told me about how they fought all the time, his father insisting he needs to have a real career with a steady income, but my stubborn Andy refused, of course. He worked as much as he could in school, saving up his money. Once he graduated, he got a second job and worked day and night until he was able to support himself and move out. It took him a few years to get it together, but eventually he made it onto the stage. He told me it was gruesome in the beginning, but that he’s never regretted it for a second. Such an optimist he is,” he says admiringly.
Neil nods absently, completely absorbed in the story. It’s possible, a small, hopeful voice in his head says. But that was one person… what if he’s not so lucky?
“Alright, I’ve chatted your ear off enough,” the man says, breaking Neil out of his thoughts as he pats his shoulder. “Go out there and dance! You’re young, enjoy it!”
“Okay. Thank you though, Mister…?”
“Emerson. But call me G.”
“You like poetry?” Neil asks with a playful smile.
G laughs, throwing this head back. “I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who hasn’t asked me some version of that question. I do, but not Emerson, funny enough. I’m more into the beat poets like Gary Snyder. Some powerful words, I’ll say. You?”
“Nice, I prefer Whitman,” Neil smiles. “Thanks for the drink!” He says, swallowing the rest before placing the glass on the table.
“Of course, don’t go too crazy though! Enough of those and you’ll wake up in the alleyway next to the diner. Trust me, I’ve been there,” G says slyly.
Neil laughs with a nod, holding G’s gaze for a moment longer before striding to the dance floor in pursuit of Todd. He supposes there's truth to the phrase “liquid courage,” because with just a glass of alcohol in his system, he feels unstoppable. Carpe fucking diem.
He taps on his shoulder and Todd spins around, his face lighting up at the sight of Neil. “Neil, you’re here! Oh, I-I’m so glad. I missed you!” Todd shouts, clearly very drunk.
“Sorry to interrupt,” he says, not feeling sorry in the slightest, “but Todd… will you dance with me?”
The guy Todd was just dancing with gives him a nasty look, but doesn’t protest. “I- of course! I’ve been waiting all night for you to ask!” Todd beams, stumbling over to him.
“Well, here I am,” Neil laughs, taking in Todd’s smile.
“Y-you should try the drinks I had. They sucked b-but my anxiety, it went POOF!” He says, making an exploding gesture with his hand, swaying closer to Neil.
“I’m glad, but I’ll try it later. Come on,” he says, leading Todd gently to an open spot on the dance floor with a guiding hand on the small of his back.
Neil takes deep breaths, trying to control his nervousness. He may have learned ballroom dancing, but swing dancing is a foreign concept to him. He’s going to embarrass himself and Todd will laugh at him. He darts his eyes around, trying to see how the other couples are dancing. As he’s about to begin his attempt, Todd takes hold of his arms, leaning in close.
“Don’t worry,” Todd says, “I-I think I have the hang of it. Follow my lead.”
Neil gasps as Todd pulls him around, bouncing on his heels a bit unevenly. Neil copies his movements, trying to let his body feel the music. The pair are off beat to the music, but Neil doesn’t care. They could be tap dancing to an opera ballad and he would be over the moon, just happy to be dancing with Todd, holding his hand and moving around the space together.
At first, Neil fumbles a bit, tripping over his feet a few times and moving his limbs in awkward motions, but eventually, he starts getting into the groove. Todd still misses a few steps every so often, but he laughs it off and warmth spreads through Neil’s chest at the sound. He laughs breathlessly, boldly deciding to pick Todd up by his hips and swinging him around his body. Todd lets out a surprised gasp, giggling as Neil moves him through the air, holding on for dear life. Neil keeps a firm hand on his waist and places him back on his feet carefully. Once Todd finds his balance, he haphazardly reaches out for Neil’s hand again, losing his grip a couple times, and twirls him around, pulling him into his chest and spinning him back out again. Neil’s heart is soaring, and he can’t hear anything besides the music ringing in his ears and Todd’s unrestrained laughter.
They dance song after song, and Neil loses track of how long they’ve been there, moving under the flashing lights and through the bodies of the crowd, throwing one another into the air. Eventually, Todd leans close to his ear, clutching his shoulder to keep balance. “‘ve gotta go to the bathroom,” he mumbles, his words slurred and breathy.
“Oh, ok! Want me to come with…?”
Todd shakes his head smiling, placing his hand on Neil’s chest. “No, no, ‘m alright. I’ll be… right back,” he slurs.
“Alright, I’ll be at the bar. I’m gonna get another drink,” Neil says.
Todd nods, staring at him for a moment before stalking off the dance floor towards the bathroom. Neil breathes out, trying to settle his nerves down. Adrenaline is coursing through his body, and his heart is thumping out of his chest. Dancing with Todd is exhilarating, and Neil could do it for the rest of his life—even as an old man in a wheelchair.
He walks off, ready to drown himself in liquor until he can gather enough courage to tell Todd how he really feels. But he’s quickly intercepted by Charlie who jumps in front of him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
“Having a good time?” He asks smugly.
“Yes!” Neil shouts. “I feel… I feel so alive!”
“That’s what I like to hear!” Charlie cheers. “Next thing you know you’ll be getting at it like bunnies in the bathroom stall,” he winks.
Neil tries not to choke on air as he stares at Charlie, his eyes wide. “Charlie, stop! But it doesn’t matter, Todd was dancing with someone earlier. I don’t think he… he can’t.”
Charlie rolls his eyes, letting out an overly exasperated sigh as if Neil is out of his mind (which he isn’t). “Oh sit on it Neil, did you miss the way he looked at you? He looks like a lovesick puppy.”
“You’re exaggerating,” Neil mutters.
“Not now no, if anything I’m understating it. Go over there and swap some spit with him before I do it myself.”
“Charlie! It’s- you don’t understand. He’s my best friend, besides you of course. We… it’s not like that,” Neil stresses.
Charlie doesn’t look the least bit swayed by his words, giving him a wry look. “Neil, Todd only wants to dance with you. The only reason he was with that chump was because I made him. I know how possessive you can get.”
“Nuwanda…”
“Hey, I needed something to push him onto the dance floor, loosen up a bit, you’re welcome. Later, lover boy!” Charlie hurries off into the crowd, and Neil sighs. Of course Charlie would meddle like that.
Neil heads to the bar, already plotting Charlie’s murder when he spots Cameron leaning against the counter talking to a young, gorgeous blonde woman.
“Hey Cameron! Who’s this?” He asks as he approaches them, clapping his shoulder and turning to the woman with a smile.
“Neil! This is Caroline, she goes to Ridgewood,” Cameron says. He looks happier than Neil has ever seen him.
“Neil, nice to meet you! Cameron’s such a charmer isn’t he? I could just drown in those freckles,” she says dreamily, kissing his cheek.
Neil refrains from laughing as Cameron’s face turns beat red, more fiery than his hair. “I’m glad you’re having a good time!”
“The best! Thanks for inviting me, I know Charlie didn’t really want to,” he says.
“Oh, it’s nothing, you know how Charlie can be, he doesn’t really mean it,” Neil says with a nervous laugh, feeling guilty at how transparent Charlie’s disdain has been. He doesn’t think Cameron deserves it.
“If you say so, but you’re cool, Neil. So thanks,” Cameron says gratefully.
Neil gives a quick nod, feeling a bit embarrassed at the praise. “Course, don’t mention it. Anyway, Caroline, it was lovely to meet you, but I’ve gotta get a drink before my… friend returns from the bathroom.”
“Ooh, Todd?” Cameron ribs, elbowing him and raising his eyebrows with a smirk.
“Uh, yeah,” he stammers. Neil turns to the bar man walking in their direction as a distraction from this topic. “Excuse me, can I have—“
“OH!” Cameron lights up with a thought, cutting him off. “Get a pina colada, they’re really good!”
“You might also like a dirty martini!” Caroline chimes in, winking at him.
Neil blinks and looks back at the waiter who’s waiting patiently. “I’ll take both,” he says. The bartender nods and promptly grabs a glass and a vodka bottle.
Not even a moment later, Cameron and Caroline start making out passionately next to him. Neil turns away awkwardly, hoping that Todd comes back from the bathroom soon. He looks at the dance floor and spots Knox and Chris together, laughing as Knox spins her in the air. Off to the side, he notices Meeks and Pitts dancing to the music at their own speed, away from the throng. Charlie, however, is nowhere to be seen, which is never a good thing.
After what feels like an eternity, the bartender slides his drinks across the bar, and Neil hands him a few dollar bills. “Keep the change,” he says quickly and turns away from the bar, desperate to get away from their slobbering and moaning. As soon as he takes a step, he crashes into someone, once again spilling the drinks he was just holding. He refrains from cursing, almost choking on air when he recognizes the victim of his clumsiness as G’s boyfriend.
“Oh, hey, you alright bud?” He asks, his voice deep and warm. He’s tall with curly, brown hair gelled back, and his smile is friendly, his green eyes soft and benevolent. The drinks drip down his cream colored suit, the large stains prominent.
Neil lets out a long breath and closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry, I’m not having the best luck with carrying drinks tonight.”
“No it’s alright, now my boyfriend and I can have matching, stained shirts,” he says with a hearty laugh. Normally, Neil would feel like he’s being made fun of, but from his sincere expression, it comes off lighthearted.
“Yeah, that was me…”
His eyes widen in recognition. “Oh! He mentioned you. Neil, right? Potentially an Armstrong?”
“Yes, I’m Neil, but no, unfortunately not related,” he says with an embarrassed laugh.
“Damn, that’s too bad. I’m Andrew McDorman,” he says, holding out his hand. Neil grips it, Andrew’s handshake solid and firm. “Giovanni told me you act!”
“Well… I’d like to, yes. But, my father wants me to become a doctor,” he says, pausing as a thought hits him. “And he told me he goes by G.”
He laughs. “Yeah of course he did. He’s been trying to sound younger now, but I refuse to call him that. He’ll always be my Giovanni, even if I always butcher the pronunciation, according to him,” he says with a sappy expression. Neil can tell they both truly love each other, and it makes him ache to have this with Todd, speaking of one another fondly, others sensing how close the two of them are.
“And about your father,” he adds, going back to the original topic, “mine wanted me to become a dentist. It’s not easy, I know. You feel like you’re stuck, that there’s nowhere to go. But trust me, Neil, there is.”
“Thanks, I’m glad you were able to pursue your dreams, but I’m not sure if I can…”
Andrew sighs with a smile. “Okay, you got me”eks planning that” an idea has dawned on him. “Tell you what, you wanna follow your own path, get away from your shitty father? Our door is always open, alright? I know, I know, stranger danger, but the offer is there. Actors gotta support each other, and I wanna be able to help out someone who’s in the same situation I was,” he says earnestly, the unspoken homosexuals falling between them.
Neil stands there completely speechless, his mind whirling in a million directions. This sounds too good to be true, because there’s no way he could escape his father’s grasp. He’d track him down, make him come home and ensure he makes it to medical school. But… what if…?
“No pressure kid. Here, let me replace those drinks. On me,” he offers kindly before Neil is able to respond. He’s left with his mouth hanging open as the man passes him, walking up to the bar to order.
“Neil!”
Neil turns to see Todd walking towards him, and his distress melts away as his eyes lay on Todd. His hair is slightly disarrayed, a few hairs drooping down his forehead, his cheeks still red from the dancing. He’s absolutely perfect. “There you are,” he says breathlessly.
“Hey, there was a guy in there who said I looked like uhh Nikola Tesla,” he giggles.
“Huh, not a bad guy to be compared to I guess,” Neil says, amused.
“Here we are!” Andrew says, holding out the drinks.
“Oh! Pina colada, I had one earlier and it was great!” Todd shouts gleefully, taking the glass and sucking the drink down, practically inhaling it.
“Ah, is this your boyfriend?” Andrew asks, directing the question to Neil, handing him his martini.
“N-no I wish,” Todd answers, swallowing his drink before returning to it promptly, the glass already halfway empty.
“I- he’s had a lot to drink…” Neil says, taking a big gulp of his drink.
Andrew gives him a knowing look. “Don’t fret, I’ve been there,” he says quietly so only Neil can hear him. “Alright cool cats, I gotta scoot, have fun and stay safe!” Andrew says to the pair, giving them both a wide grin before walking off.
As Neil turns to Todd, getting the nerve to ask him to dance again, a voice booms through the room.
“All the lovers to the dance floor! For this next song, we’re going to slow things down a bit. This is a special request from a man who goes by the name Nuwanda, and this is dedicated to Neil and Todd,” the singer announces.
Neil stares at the stage, noticing Charlie standing nearby with a shiteating grin. Charlie catches his eye and winks. Bastard.
“Um, Neil?” Todd asks, his voice cracking.
Neil turns to him and stops breathing at the look on Todd’s face. His eyes are wide, appearing anxious but hopeful, like he’s placing his heart in the palm of Neil’s hand for safe keeping. Neil hopes to God it doesn’t slip from his grasp.
“Yes?” He says, almost in a whisper.
Todd slowly reaches his hand out, palm up. “W-will you dance with me?”
A smile grows on his face. “Always.” Neil accepts his hand, placing his glass down on the table beside him, and allows Todd to walk him to the dance floor. He can’t tell if it’s the alcohol or his nerves, but Neil can’t feel the floor beneath his feet as he moves through the crowd, almost like he’s floating.
When I fall in love it will be forever
Todd positions them both, placing a gentle hand on Neil’s back. His face heats up inadvertently at the touch, his back tingling at the sensation. Todd looks at him, his eyes steady. “I’ll lead,” he says.
Or I'll never fall in love
Neil smiles in response, and it doesn’t wane even the slightest as Todd stamps right on his toes. Neil breaks out in a laugh, resting his forehead on Todd’s shoulder. Todd doesn’t move or make a sound, so Neil pulls back and gives him a reassuring smile. “It’s ok,” he says softly.
In a restless world like this is
Todd looks down at his feet self-consciously and Neil tilts his head back up with a finger under his chin. “Don’t worry about it, really.”
Love is ended before it's begun
Todd takes a hesitant step, breathing out as he manages to avoid Neil’s foot. Slowly, he takes another, and another, and Neil follows, feeling gratified that Todd is so dedicated to this.
And too many moonlight kisses
Neil revels in the feel of Todd’s hand in his own, his fingers wrapped around it firmly as they step around. Until this moment, Neil hasn’t realized how desperately he needs Todd in his life. How he wants to wake up beside him in the morning, make him breakfast in bed, go on walks with him through a park full of birds and laughing children, listen to him read poetry as they sit by a toasty fire. These images flood his mind, and he’s overwhelmed by how much he craves for this to become reality.
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Neil gazes into those soft, blue eyes, never wanting to escape their grasp ever again. As they stare at one another, drowning in each other, their movements slow. Neil is too distracted by the sight to acknowledge it. His body is moving on his own accord, leaning in to take in his face, the scent of strong cologne he assumes Charlie sprayed all over him.
When I give my heart it will be completely
“Todd—”
In a blink, Todd grabs both sides of his face and in a singular movement he crashes their lips together, cutting him off with a bruising kiss. Neil doesn’t react at first, completely stunned by the feel of Todd’s lips. He quickly comes back to himself, sliding his hands behind Todd’s neck, cradling it as he moves his lips, taking him in. Todd places a hand on his cheek, which sends a shiver down his neck. After a moment, they slow, and Neil gradually pulls back to look at him, aware that he’s now plunged in the water, completely head over heels for this boy.
Or I'll never give my heart
“Todd,” he breathes.
A flash of worry crosses Todd’s eyes. “Y-yeah?”
Neil stares at him before speaking. “You have no idea how long I’ve been wanting to do that.”
“O-oh sorry you can—”
“Todd,” he laughs fondly.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Before Todd starts to ramble, Neil shuts him up with another kiss, slotting his lips between his with a hmph. This one is softer, more tender than the last, yet just as remarkable. He pours out every emotion he can into the kiss, wanting Todd to understand how he loves every inch, every quirk, every fiber of his being.
Is when I'll fall in love with you
As the last note rings through the room, Neil hears a sudden whoop. He turns, watching in horror as Charlie barrels towards them in glee. “Fucking finally you nimrods!” He shouts, giving Neil a quick noogie. “I thought I was gonna have to smash your faces together myself.”
Neil can’t hold back a grin as he rolls his eyes. “Get out of here, you’re kind of ruining the moment, you know,” he teases.
“That was the most romantic kiss I’ve ever seen!” Charlie exclaims, completely missing the hint, or purposefully ignoring it. “Knox wishes he could be on that level.”
“Charlie, I heard that!” Knox calls, pacing over to them.
“That’s my queue to leave, see you!” Charlie says, dashing away as Knox chases after him.
Neil laughs and looks back at Todd who’s smiling dazedly at him. He swipes his thumb across Todd’s cheek, and leans in for a quick kiss. “Sorry, I just can’t help it now.”
Todd blinks. “D-don’t apologize for that. Ever,” he breathes.
“Okay,” Neil says, recapturing his lips in a searing kiss. He doesn’t care that they’re surrounded by a bunch of strangers, any care in the world is lost among the feel of Todd’s lips between his own. After a moment, Todd pulls back, his eyes taking in every feature of Neil’s face.
“What is it?” Neil asks, smiling. He hears the lively music pick up again, everyone dancing around them, but he doesn’t move.
“I- nothing I… just never thought you’d…”
“I thought the same about you,” Neil admits.
“But.. how?” He asks, astonished. “Y-you’re… you’re literally perfect, Neil.”
Neil shakes his head. “No, I’m far from it. But Todd, you’re incredible. You’re better than any dream I could ever fathom, you’re single handedly the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You always listen when I rattle nonsense to you as if every word I say is meaningful, you’re there for me on my low days, ready with an open ear and a shoulder to lay on, you write the most outstanding poetry known to man. How could I not be completely in love with you?”
Todd gapes at him, disbelieving. “You… you love me?”
Neil laughs. “Of course, dummy,” he says affectionately.
“I- I do too. Love you. I… I love you,” Todd says.
An overwhelming sense of joy floods through him, and without thinking, Neil wraps his arms around Todd’s waist and picks him up, spinning him around as he shouts in elation. Soon, Neil sets him back down and brings him into a tight embrace, nuzzling into his neck. Todd returns it, sliding his arms around his back, holding him close.
Suddenly, someone bumps into Todd’s back as they dance, shouting a quick apology as they pass, and it seems to send them both back into reality. They pull back and glance around, watching as everyone is jiving to the upbeat music. Neil looks back at Todd who returns his gaze and they break out into a fit of laughter, making their way over to a table.
They collapse into some seats, breathing heavily. Neil is relieved to have a break; he’s starting to come back down from his rush of energy, and his eyelids are getting heavy.
“Neil,” Todd says, shaking his shoulder lightly.
He lifts his head and looks at him questioningly.
“Don’t fall asleep yet, wait until we get in the car.”
Neil makes a noise of complaint. “I’m tired. Be my pillow, Todd?” He asks, leaning his head over onto Todd’s shoulder.
Todd sighs defeatedly, raising a hand to card through Neil’s hair. They stay like that for a few minutes, relaxed and at ease, until Charlie approaches their table.
“Seems it's a general consensus that it’s time to go,” Charlie says, plopping into the seat across from them and taking a swig from his drink. “The others are starting to get tired too. They wanna grab a bite upstairs before Keating comes. What do you say?”
Neil lifts his head, sitting up in his chair. “Sure, Todd?” He nods in agreement.
“Alright, perfect. I’ll go grab the others, be back in a flash,” he says, darting away.
“Tell Charlie to wait up, I got to say bye to some people first.”
Todd’s eyebrows raise in remembrance. “Oh, that man who gave us the drinks?”
“Yeah, and his boyfriend.”
“O-okay I’ll tell him,” Todd says.
Neil leans over and kisses his cheek before walking off in search of G and Andrew. He goes toward the bar first and doesn’t see them, so he looks through the crowd of the dance floor. After a few seconds, he feels a hand clap his shoulder. Neil whips around.
“Hey kid! How you doing? I saw you and that boy earlier, I’m proud of you,” G says. “And you’ve got one hell of a friend to request a song for you two like that.”
“Yeah, that was more romantic than our first kiss,” Andrew adds, sliding an arm behind G’s back. “You’re gonna have to step up your game.”
“Hey, don't you forget my proposal, I spent weeks planning that!”
Andrew sighs with a smile. “Okay, you got me.”
G gives him a quick peck before returning his attention to Neil.
“I’m- we’re great. I’m… really happy,” Neil says, beaming. “And yeah, Charlie is not one to be subtle about anything.”
The couple laugh. “Well, I’m glad it worked out,” G says sincerely.
As Neil nods in thanks, Andrew gasps in realization. “Give me your hand,” he requests.
Neil complies, pulling back his sleeve. Andrew pulls a pen out of his pocket and writes on the back of his hand. Once he’s done he releases his arm and caps the pen. “In case of anything, don’t hesitate to call us. If things don’t bode well with your father, we’ll be here for you, okay? Any hour of any day. I never really sleep anyway,” Andrew says with a crooked smile.
Neil looks down at the phone number written on his hand, and holds in the tears welling up in his eyes. “Thank you,” he croaks, keeping his eyes down and wiping them surreptitiously.
“Any time,” G says, a smile in his voice.
Finally he looks up at them both, feeling fiercely grateful for them—despite the unideal introduction of Neil ruining their clothes.
“My friends and I are heading up to the diner before we leave. But it was great to meet you both. Sorry again for spilling the drinks on you. Both of you,” he says, wincing as he peers at their stained outfits.
“Oh, don’t even stress it. It’s a good thing you did now, isn’t it?”
Neil laughs. “I suppose it is.”
There’s a beat of silence between them before they bid each other good night, Neil returning to his table. Todd looks up at him as he approaches. “They’re all waiting by the door. Ready?” Todd asks, standing from his seat.
“Actually, I wanted to ask you something first,” Neil says, his heart pounding out of his chest.
Todd blinks. “Okay,” he says, anxiety creeping into his features. Neil reaches out and strokes his cheek in reassurance.
“I just wanted to know… now that we’ve… you know, told each other how we feel… where are we?”
Todd’s eyes widen in understanding. “Um, I mean what can two guys be to each other?” He asks.
“Boyfriends?” Neil tries, unable to breath.
Todd’s face lights up, and it sends a flood of relief over Neil. “Uh, Yeah.”
“Yeah?”
Todd nods, beaming, and Neil can’t resist leaning over to give his nose a quick peck. He never thought this would ever be possible, and yet here he is, able to call Todd his boyfriend. With Todd by his side, he’s willing to take anything his father tries to throw at him.
Neil slots their fingers together and the pair walk over to the other poets who are standing by the door. Upon seeing them, Charlie grins. “The new lovely couple has arrived! Let’s go!”
The boys make their way up to the diner and slide into a booth, ready for a late dinner before Mr. Keating arrives to pick them up. Todd seats himself beside Neil, and he wraps an arm around his shoulder, kissing Todd’s forehead.
“Alright, as happy as I am that you two finally got your act together, please don’t be necking each other and being all lovey dovey in front of me. I don’t need it getting in my food,” Charlie says.
“No promises,” Todd says.
Neil laughs breathlessly, at Todd’s bold comment and the way Charlie gapes, shellshocked. “Yeah, don’t be a hypocrite. If you had someone you’d be slobbering all over them any second you could.”
“I guess you’re not wrong there, but it makes me wish I did.” Charlie winks. Neil and Todd grimace, and at that the subject is dropped.
“So Cameron, who was that girl I saw you all cozy with?” Meeks asks, his eyebrows raised suggestively.
“Cameron was with a girl?” Charlie asks, nonplused. “Did someone give you drugs, Meeks? You might have been hallucinating.”
“No, I saw. They were locking lips,” Neil adds.
“No way!” Charlie calls, his eyes blown wide.
Cameron blushes, staring down at the table, “Yeah, I did. I saw her at the bar and we started talking. She’s… great.”
Knox leans over and high fives him with a proud smile as Charlie chokes on air. Once he recovers, he shakes his head and huffs a laugh. “Well… atta boy Cameron!” Charlie hollers, smacking his back.
Cameron looks at him for a moment before smiling back. “Thanks, Charlie.”
Soon, the food arrives and after much more rowdy laughter and chatter, the boys pile back into Keating’s car.
“Enjoy yourselves boys?”
The boys all agree and over the rest, Charlie shouts, “Hell yeah!”
“Thank you for your exuberance, Mr. Dalton,” Keating deadpans, chuckling.
“Enjoy your date, Captain?” Pitts asks.
“Yes, thank you,” he smiles.
“What’d you do? Spend any cozy alone time together,” Charlie asks, grinning mischievously.
“If you’re insinuating what I think you are, then I am not at liberty to discuss that with my students. However, we went for a nice dinner and afterwards we walked along a nearby lake. They’re quite a lovely spot to bring your significant other, actually,” he says, and Neil catches his eyes in the rear view mirror. Neil’s face flushes and he looks away, unable to hold back a smile.
Multiple different conversations among the other boys pick up after that, but Neil stays quiet, taking time to enjoy the moment. A few minutes later, when Todd lays his head on his shoulder as he dozes to sleep and Charlie gives him a smug look, Neil feels truly grateful for his friends, Keating, and Todd. He looks down at the number scrawled on his hand and realizes that he’s no longer dreading the future. His future. It won’t be easy, but with Todd by his side, Neil can do anything. And he wouldn’t want it any other way.

The Family
—3—
The mansion beamed with eager energy as people came and went up the stairs, down the corridors; there was a family gathering in the making and soon all the Shelby family would be together. It would be the first time the servants of the house will be witness of all of them together. Yes, they knew them and of course, had seen them before but never in fullness. The Shelby’s worked in teams, and pairs, in triads of relentless dedication to business and increasing power. But for one night, the fights would be forgotten, altercations left behind and confrontations moved for another day. Tonight was a night to celebrate.
It seemed like The Shelby Company was ready to go wide in America, expanding their business, opening other offices and navigating into new markets.
With a soft know on the door, the servant walked into the office. Mister Shelby sat on his chair drowning in paperwork, his never ending cigar was lighted up and resting between his fingers, but the boy felt pleased to recognize the pair of spectacles on top of the man’s nose.
Clearing his throat to make his presence known, he spoke.
“Your family will be here in half an hour, sir.” Shelby groaned in response but that was it. The young boy stood up tall and kept talking. “They are expected to have dinner, sir.” Once again mister Shelby agreed in a loose matter. “Will you be dinning with them, sir?” At last, that simple comment seemed to catch the man’s attention long enough to make him look apart from his documents.
With relentless dedication the boy fought his fears and stayed in place giving his boss a clear vision of his concerns. They had yet to convince mister Shelby to eat with Charlie, left alone with his whole family. Would there it be necessary to place a plate at the head of the table? Would the Shelby’s eat without Thomas?
Thomas sighed trying to drive away the tension on his shoulders at the memory of his family in one table but decided to wash the concern from his servants heads.
Even knowing it would be a waste of time, Thomas agree. “Yes.” The boy nodded and rushed back to finish up.
The dining room was a vision, a dream or a tale of tales like princess and royalty. The candelabrums shined in sparks of life, the table beautifully dressed in a snow white tablecloth, pristine silverware and opaline glasses refracted the light in different colours. The teasing heat of the kitchen was far from the room but the excitement for a warm meal was never down. Bottles of champagne were opened and chit-chat was all over the place.
One by one the Shelby’s made an entrance.
The food was delightful and soon the bubbly sweet beverage was forgotten for something stronger. Charlie was put to bed after playing with his cousins and saying goodbye to all his uncles and aunt; the nanny followed suit with a short reverence.
The night was young when the Shelby’s decided it was time to talk business and he stood by the door; the servant wasn’t sure he was allowed to stay, it were private matters, however, before he could voice his way out, the younger sister asked for more.
“Be a darling and serve another glass, would you?” Ada shook his empty glass in the air with a friendly smile.
“Yes, Miss Shelby.” The girl couldn’t help but show his discomfort at the name and it was all clear in her features. Being called that in business was a given, but after hours, in family company she preferred to be called by her name and her name only. So, she told him much.
“You don’t have to be formal, love.” She accepted the drink and saluted to his face. “My name is enough.” The boy, first time, looked conflicted as if he wanted to pleased the lady, it was a Shelby after all, but didn’t wanted to loose respect. He was a servant, they were rules and respect was primordial.
“I apologize, Miss.” He whispered finally conscious of how the rest of the family were watching their interaction. “I cannot do that.”
“Why is that?” Ada asked promptly, not mad but mostly curious.
“Miss— I, uhm...” staggering his voice in nervousness, the boy tried to make himself clear although was failing and massively. “I am.. most unable to... can.” Ada laughed opening and without restrictions causing the boy to sober up in flying colours that painted his cheeks and nose.
“Oh, brother—“ her accent splitting over. “Where on earth did you manage to find this one?” The rest of the family laughed wholeheartedly as he rested back on his post.
So, for the rest of the night, the Shelby’s made their mission to brake the boy’s formalities. And after a few hours, they almost succeeded.
Ada, as much to please her, passed from restrictively being name ‘Miss Shelby’ to a ‘Miss Ada’ with casual ring that let her smiling but compromise enough to the boy’s stubbornness to not drop his rightful tone.
Polly, now. After threatening to mark his pretty face —once again, they laughed at his expenses while his cheekbones blushed with a deep crimson—, felt herself in a win as the boy left to be respectful enough to keep the title but informal enough to call her by her name. And so, Mrs. Polly had another drink.
The oldest Shelby was the toughest on them so far, as the man kept asking to absolute drop all those fancy words and call him by his bare name.
“C’mon, lad. I know you can do it.” Arthur told him resting a heavy slap on his back almost making him fall. That was the time where, he couldn’t help but ask for guidance. With a fleeting glance to the man at the end of the table who watch with a heavy stare, he asked permission to fulfill Arthur’s request without being disrespectful.
Mister Shelby sat impassively on his chair, the smoke slithering from his parted lips while another cigarette filled his lungs with nicotine, the man said nothing blinking slowly.
Only then, after the boy sweat under his family’s interested eyes, Thomas lifted an eyebrow as if challenging the boy to do as he pleased.
Challenging to do what? To give in to his brother’s demands? To remain silent and being the target of their banter? To keep his formalities and hang in danger with the possibility of angering any of the family members? What was the right answer?
“Oi, Tommy!” Arthur called for his brother. “Don’t be a piss and let the poor boy speak.” The poor boy hid his eyes in shame, he never intended to insult his master. “C’mon, boy.” Arthur asked once again.
“Yes...” He consciously swallowed feeling his lips dry. “Yes, Arthur—“ the family around them cheered happily finally reaching their goal. “—, sir.” Ada huffed and crossed his arms in a mock tantrum.
“And just for that you’ll get me a new glass.” Yes, Miss Ada. The boy nodded openly smiling and rushed to change the woman’s glass that was half empty. Thomas toasted in silence lifting his glass to his sister and hid a short lived smiled that wanted to appear at the corners of his lips.
—4—
Miss Ada asked for tea after everybody went to sleep so he complaint. Gingerly placing the cup and the kettle, he was about to leave when the girl called his name.
“Yes, Miss Ada?”
“Would you stay with me for a moment?” Giving a wordless positive answer, the young one came close to the woman and stood with his hands behind his back. “Oh, boy! “Ada almost dropped his cup. “Would you sit down already!” Flustered acceptance of his permission to sit with the girl, the servant spoke a soft apology, he was not used to being treated with such familiarity. He had been working in the manor for years now and even thou everybody was polite and nice and friendly with each other, there were certain things that were never meant to happen such as sitting with their masters.
“But I’m not your master.” Ada left his concerns to be blown away as she wanted a simple and honest conversation that didn’t involved her brothers, her family or their business.
“Alright, miss.” He stated in confidence. “What would you like to talk about?” That’s how Ada learned about his family, about his childhood and the town he used to live.
The boy’s father was sent away to the Great War and for years they didn’t know any good news, all their neighbors became widows and orphans and those long sleepless night took a life from his mother.
By the time his father came back, they were all ecstatic until they realized the man had come back from war but the war hadn’t let him go.
His father may have come back but in reality he never came back. So one day, after a younger version of himself was sent to school, his father had gone out, walked to their garden and shot himself with his gun for his poor mother to find him in a pool of blood with a disfigured face.
His mother’s life was short lived after that. She couldn’t bare the thought of existing without his beloved and soon her health decayed. She died shortly of a broken heart no matter how much he cared for her. That’s why he left his home town, said goodbye to his parents and sailed for adventure knowing that they were together and happy once more; he hadn’t given religion much thought but he liked to think his parents watched over him.
He finished his story with a wobbly smiled before panic painted in his face due to Ada’s tears running down her cheeks.
“Oh, no! Miss Ada, please.” He fussed over her scared and terrified. “Please, don’t cry! I’ll do anything, just please!”
“You, silly boy.” Ada cleaned her face and tucked the boy into an awkward hug by the time he stayed half kneeling in front of her. “You suffered so much and you’re still worrying over me.”
“But, Miss—“
“Hush now, just let me.” Uncomfortable and odd feeling the servant stayed in his master sister’s arms receiving comfort like no other in such a long time. He sent silent prayers of gratitude.
Neither paying attention of the shadowy figure at the door threshold.
After guiding Ada to his room and promising to her that he was in fact living a good life under her treacherous, devilish tyranny of brother, the woman left to sleep.
The servant finally felt how truly exhausted he was, long hours of working flying away in awe, music, conversation and laughter. He only wanted to go to his room and pass out for a few hours before it was time to get on his feet once again. And so close to his goal he was until he was intercepted by Polly.
Mrs. Polly was dressed down, forgotten the beautiful outfits were to be lived in a casual sleepwear, a long satin undergarment in a pale green with details in black, her face clean of make up shine by the moonlight. She was a dream.
The woman sultry walked until she faced him and smiled luxuriously with all the power she had.
“I’m surprised to see you up, boy.” There was something in her tone that left him uncomfortable, effaced was the easy mocking tone from the evening, now Polly seemed to denigrate him with even her looks.
The woman has seen and witness the silent conversation this unknown boy had had with her nephew and only served to race her alarms after catching the pleased and satisfied air Thomas portrayed the rest of the evening. Her nephew usually had two thoughts in mind: business and mindless fucking, and even the later was used as a way to achieved what he wanted, so the woman questioned herself, and an answer she would get.
It wasn’t difficult to trap the boy into her body and one of the tables at the living room, the open space was perfect, anybody could see.
“Missus—“ The low tone reached Polly with tint of desperation, it was clear to the woman that the poor boy would fly away the moment he could, but she wasn’t letting him go until her doubts were settle. Polly smiled long and languid, caressed the servant’s scared face with her fingertips until she reached for his clothesline in top of his belt.
The servant was mortified, he could reassured he was shaking like leaves in autumn while mrs Polly had her fun; he didn’t understand what the woman was after but he honestly prayed she would stop.
“Tonight, boy...” Polly came close enough for the servant to feel her warm breath. “You will serve me.” A switch was off on his brain, did missus Polly needed something outside of the obvious attempts which he in oblivious tried to surpass.
“Mrs. Polly, if you need anything I’ll try my best to serve you.” The woman frowned not quiet pleased with the servant’s reaction; if she was in the rights then the boy wouldn’t survive working for her nephew. A pretty boy to keep his bed warm wouldn’t go far in the world, even thou, there were rare cases, such as Lizzie.
“Oh, darling...” her voice crawling down the boy’s spine send chills not quiet pleasant. “There’s much you can do.” Polly went for the boy’s trousers and the young one yelped looking to escape her advances. “You will serve me well in the sheets.” Polly could almost laugh at the boy expenses, his reactions were too pure and innocent-like to not to play with, it would be both a delight and shame if he surrendered.
“Mrs. Shelby—“ the younger one angry whispered as his voice when a pitch high, in a bold flustered move, the servant touch Polly’s wrists and smoothed his way out. “I apologize for my actions ma’am but this is something I cannot do.” The boy seemed afraid while he gather himself in a thought hug and for moments Polly felt bad for deceiving the young one. “If that is something you need, I’ll search for someone but that is some I won’t do.” The boy gather up his courage and stared down at the woman with fierce determination that made her feel proud —now she understood her nephew—. “Mrs. Shelby, I am not a whore.” The secret hatred with which the boy talked to her flailed some thoughts. But she still pushed him farther.
“You might not be, darling. But under the Peaky Blinders, if that’s what they want, that’s what you’ll be.”
“I do not serve the Peaky Blinders, ma’am.” Finally seeing a way out, the servant rushed down the hall, almost running as he thought was far enough from the woman and hid in the first door he came close. Polly saw him leave with a satisfied feeling.
The poor boy felt like crying. None in his years of service he had been put into such position. He worked hard, he served well, kept his eyes close and ears shut when business were to be discuss; he tried his best to meet mister Shelby’s necessities but never he imagine he would be ask for something in that capacity.
His hands started to tremble as the embarrassment and shame began to grow in his belly. His heart raced in his chest, loud and clear to his ears and his mind was all over the place.
Had he done something wrong? Had the family gather that impression from him? Did everybody share the same thoughts of Mrs. Shelby? Did Mister Shelby had the same thoughts? Had he embarrassed his master in front of his family? He wanted to cry in all honesty, silliness and need for comfort. He began to talk to himself out loud trying to wash away the anger and mortification, the pain and shame the whole ordeal had caused him.
The boy leaned onto the door feeling the cold touch in his forehead and started to speak.
“You are not that. You are not what they said you were. You are a good servant. You do good. You are not a whore. No matter what they say, you are not a whore.” You’re not. You’re not. You’re not a whore. Memories of past pain came to life. A friend of his had suffered from the same sorrow as the people from town started to repel her for bringing a child to this world outside of a healthy marriage. She was known as the Old Town Whore.
She left one day with her daughter and he never saw her again.
“You’re not a whore.”
“Who says you’re a whore?” The ring of mr. Shelby’s voice at the other side of the room was an unpleasant and absolute unexpected plus terrifying; in his hurry and shame he had not seen where he was heading. The servant turned surprised as if being caught doing something ilegal. Jumping out in his spot, the boy looked at his master with every inch of shame while questioning if anyone in that bloody family ever slept at regular hours. Finding each member of the Shelby’s family at late hours was not good for his nerves. “And well?” Mr. Shelby was know for his short temper regardless to patience making it obvious in his features.
The impression was such, they boy thought he would pass out in pure panic, his master could read him like an open book. Mister Shelby sat in silence waiting for his young servant to speak while they boy seemed troubled with each passing second. The young one was about to cry if his eyes weren’t tricking him, and Thomas didn’t relish on that sight at all. Who had caused the boy deep discomfort?
“Tell me, little one, what’s wrong?” As if being relief from his sorrows, the boy talked and talked non-stop by his thoughts of the evening, how he worked hard and hoped his family hadn’t taken a wrong impression of his persona. He wanted to believe he was good but after being cornered in the looming, deserted halls, the boy feared the worst.
“I swear, mr. Shelby— I didn’t mean to... I only tried to do my job." The boy started to heave. “Sir, I swear, I would never... I never intended to... I’m not—“ finally a lonely tear fell down his cheek. “Sir, please, believe me, I’m not— I’m not that.” In his own innocence, Shelby noted, the boy wasn’t even able to call himself a whore.
The servant in his share discomfort hadn’t realized mister Shelby was close. Long forgotten was his seat at his desk in the center of the room and slowly, soundlessly started to reach out to him. The boy was only conscious after feeling Thomas’ flexed index finger brushing against his wet cheek and watching how the man cleaned the salt away with his lips.
“Tell me. What did they say?” The order was clear. Thomas already had a fair idea onto who could be the perpetrator but he wanted to hear from his servant first.
“I had to serve in someone’s sheet... by order of the Peaky Blinders.” The little one’s lower lip trembled in humiliation, his cheeks fired up like a beacon in the midnight sky. Thomas was glad the boy had sheltered his gaze back down so he wouldn’t see the amused smirk his master was sporting at the time.
“And what did you say to that?” The boy stilled himself for a short while and Thomas inquired if they had finally broke the poor mind, when his boy impressed him once again with a share of honest devotion.
Meeting his master’s piercing eyes, feeling his own knees shake through the force he was using to keep it together, he spoke with conviction that characterized him.
“I do not serve the Peaky Blinders, sir.” The young one took a sharp breath before continuing his short speech. “I am a servant of the Shelby Household Manor and so, I serve the Shelby’s family, I am at service to you, sir. I serve the head of the family, Thomas Shelby.” In the heated spur of the moment he forgot to mind his words, the young one has never said his master’s voice out loud nor even in confidence, and some how that idea filled Thomas with warm delighted joy. It felt good to see his servants passion.
The shared a quiet moment, seconds before the young one came to notice what he had done. An undignified feeling washed over the servant and lower his head hiding his gaze from the man; it was obvious his guilt to the man.
“Look at me.” The mister said in a low tone an slight distortion of his strong will and demanding stance. The boy refused by shaking his head and Tommy wanted nothing but to hit him light at the back of the head. “I said... Look at me, little one.” Finding Thomas clear eyes was a shock like no other; it wasn’t new to see his master but it felt like it he was under a different light. Something closer, warmer.
“It’s alright.” Thomas peaked a ghost smile so the boy could see. “You did good, little one.” Brushing his cheek one more time, Tommy lightly touch the boy’s chin and soon the heavy atmosphere fade away. Repeating his reassuring words, Tommy let the boy go.
“You did good.”

Month of New Operatic Works, Round 2, #14: Susanna (McGegan recording with Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, 1990): Reactions
First, apologies for the slightly wonky formatting: unlike other such posts, I am doing this on the mobile app as I am listening to Halévy’s Le dilettante d’Avignon (post on THAT is forthcoming).
So something you may know about me is that I love cooking. However, I absolutely hate the idea of cooking a full-blown meal every night because for me, that usually means at least 45 minutes to an hour per night and your girl doesn’t have time or patience for that. So when I cook, I like to spend a few hours cooking anything and everything in the kitchen so I have it for days and days. And that’s what I did yesterday.
Since I am also a firm believer in multitasking, I figured that I could fit in something for this series while cooking, and I picked this oratorio/opera-in-all-but-name-but-has-been-staged. Reason being, I am still testing the waters as to whether or not I’ll get noise complaints from neighbors if I play opera in the kitchen. This is in English and Händel is honestly about as inoffensive one can get with blasting classical music, so I decided to do this. (24 hours later, I have not received any noise complaints, so I think we’re okay.)
At any rate, Händel (like pretty much all Baroque) is vigorous, free, and boptastic, and a) this is no exception and b) it makes for perfect cooking music. It’s also long, which is great for when you spend several hours in the kitchen.
However, I’m not convinced that this length is entirely warranted in terms of the work itself. In particular, I felt that both the exposition and the final scene were drawn out for far too long. Susanna’s innocent? Great. We do not need multiple da capo arias for the heroine after that revelation or multiple choruses just to say “she’s innocent, that’s great, fidelity is cool”.
However, I cannot fault the music. It’s beautiful, it’s catchy, and it’s really demanding (although top to bottom, the musical forces were up for the challenge. there is a particularly difficult bass role with an extremely large range and lots of coloratura and I tip my hat to the man who sang the Second Elder because it’s brutal but by golly he did it). It’s quintessential Händel.
The story is the story of Susanna and the Elders, taken from the Apocrypha portions of the Book of Daniel. As someone raised in churches that don’t count any of the Apocrypha as part of the Bible, my only previous contact with this story was from independent curiosity into art history and Carlisle Floyd’s 1955 opera reworking Susannah (my beloved).
While it’s refreshing to see Susanna get her happy ending, I do wish she had a little more agency in her own story and getting that happy ending. I mean, no one believes her and the only reason Susanna doesn’t get killed is because Daniel—written to be played by a boy soprano—who is a literal child, can get the community to listen to him and let him question the Elders. I think looking at this from a modern angle, today we can look at this as a commentary on how people look at sexual assault: the word of any man, even a literal boy, is immediately taken over that of a woman, the one who suffered the injustice. So maybe that’s good. And the libretto is excellent and surprisingly modern in many ways, such as this quote from Act II when Susanna tells the elders to leave her alone and that she’ll tell on them for spying on her while bathing:
Thou foolish woman! Will thy plaints avail
When our grave tongues repeat the well-forg'd tale?
Will those suspect, to whom your grief complains,
That blood could riot in an Elder's veins?
I mean...
Personally, I feel like Susanna’s attendant, who was presumably within earshot for the duration of the incident, should have had a bigger role in the story. I would absolutely love if the two of them could have gotten justice. But oh well. So goes the world.
Anyway, I recommend this.

Unclean
I wrote this for Michael Guerin Week - Pre-canon and/or “the lost decade”
I went with Pre-canon, so I could explore Michael’s childhood - with an emphasis on what he went through with the group he stayed with on his return to Roswell.
Trigger Warning for Child Abuse, and please take that very seriously.
This is very much Hurt with No Comfort, so please be aware of that as well.
Unclean A Roswell New Mexico Fanfic
Michael is eleven when he returns to Roswell.  He’s learned a lot of things in the years since he emerged from the pod.  He’s learned how to speak.  Which is good, because not speaking had drawn attention he didn’t like.  Pitying looks, and whispers behind palms that said something wasn’t quite right with him. He’s also learned that knowing how to talk and being listened to are two different things.  He’s learned to read and write, though he rarely has the chance to do so outside of school.  Books are kindling, not something to be enjoyed, as far as the meth-heads are concerned.  He’s learned not to bring his schoolbooks home, but keep them in his locker or hidden somewhere else.
He’s learned how to count, and measure.  He’s learned how much pennies and quarters scrounged from couch cushions and the bottom of the washing machine can buy.  He’s learned how to steal food when he can’t find enough.  He’s learned that as long as he spends the coins he finds, his caretakers never miss them.  But if the drunk who he’s stuck with for two years finds him hoarding them - that won’t go unpunished.
He learns loneliness.  He learns pain.  He learns fear.
He’s not particularly scared on his treks to Foster Ranch.  If anything, the starry night sky and stretches of highway and desert seem safer than any place he has ever lived on Earth.  Sometimes there’s a feeling, like a fleeting memory, that invades his dreams when he sleeps under the stars.  A feeling of belonging.  Of safety.
In his waking hours, he never feels either.
He figures the religious freaks who run the group home can’t be worse than what he’s known. Outwardly, he’s right.  There are no drugs or alcohol to be found, and the housing is spotless.  There is a bed, a blanket, and a desk for every child to do their homework on.  He’s never stayed someplace so clean.  After finding Max and Isobel again, he almost feels like things might be looking up.
He’s wrong.  He learns about duplicity.  About prejudice.  About hatred.  He abandons the notion that any humans are good.
It starts out simple enough.  With chores, and a schedule, and church every Sunday.  He’s not used to a schedule, though.  He’s not used to being expected to do things, because what he’s always been expected to do is stay out of the way.  Apparently not understanding what they want from him isn’t an acceptable excuse.
“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.”  One of the adults quotes, as if it makes any sense.
They have a punishment, and a quote, for everything, he learns.  Forgetting chores means being made to do things like clean the bathroom floor with a toothbrush. Taking food between scheduled meals and snacks means not only being denied the next meal, but being made to stand and watch as everyone else eats.
When he’s caught looking for loose change, he’s accused of stealing, because any loose change found is to go in a donation jar.  That’s what leads to his first beating at the home.  He’s made to get down the switch from the wall, and all the other children are rounded up to watch him be punished.  Humiliation is new - he’s pretty sure he prefers being invisible.
“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”  He’s told after.
He watches one of the workers wash another boy’s mouth out with soap after he is caught swearing.
“But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”
A girl’s hair is chopped off after she is caught decorating it with ribbons and barrettes she secretly bought.
“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.”
They are gathered up to watch another boy be beaten with the switch for being caught with a Playboy magazine.
“Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
Two of the girls are caught sleeping in the same bed, and even though he knows the one suffers nightmares - everyone knows - it doesn’t stop the wrath of the adults.  They’re gathered to watch, and the girls are given twice as many switches as any other punishment he’s witnessed yet.
“To kill wrong desires, which lead to wrong actions, you need to control your thinking. If you regularly fill your mind with wholesome thoughts, you can more readily dismiss wrong desires.”  
He runs away to Foster Ranch that night, spends it under the stars.  Wishes for a world he can’t remember.  No dreams of safety and belonging come.  He wonders if he’d only ever imagined the feelings.
They lock him in the basement when he returns, where he spends hours alone in the dark.
“Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.”
He’s tired of their quotes, and their punishments.  The next time they’re gathered to watch a beating a picture falls from the wall.  The next time he’s made to miss a meal, a dining room chair scrapes across the floor.  It’s not until he’s made to clean the hallway with a toothbrush, and every picture in it crashes to the ground, that he realizes it might be his doing.
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.”  The adults warn them at dinner that night.
He’s pretty sure he would know if he somehow called on the powers of darkness.  After a few tests with Isobel and Max, he discovers he can make it happen on purpose.  He can make things move.  It’s the best thing that’s happened since finding Max and Isobel again, and he begins to play with his ability more and more when he’s alone.
The good news is the practice lets him lift heavier items without getting tired.  Lets him hold them up longer.
The bad news is this means the same when his powers explode outward without meaning to.  More and more, the workers at the group home start eyeing him when things happen.  When chairs slam into the walls, and tables get knocked over because he’s angry, always angry.  He hates how they excuse their cruelty as being for the good of the children in their care.  He hates their rules and their schedules and their quotes.
He hates that sometimes the quotes sneak into his mind and make him wonder if he’s wrong in some way.
One of the women from the group home catches him practicing. She opens the door while he's levitating a pencil, and even though he drops it right away, she crosses herself and backs out of his room.  He hopes that will be the end of it, but it isn’t.
If it had been any other time during the year he’d have been in school, but it’s summer and it isn’t as if he’s ever needed to retake a course.  He sees her speaking to the priest on Sunday.  She makes him go into the basement Monday morning.
At first, he thinks it’s a regular punishment.  When she comes back, though, the priest is with her.  At first, it seems simple enough.  They pray and toss holy water on him.  But as the hours go on and he tries to get up, he’s forced back into the chair.  Eventually, they tie him to it.
He’s hungry, and tired, and has to use the bathroom, but they don’t care.  The first time he loses control of his bladder, his cheeks burning with humiliation, the priest throws more holy water on him- claiming that him “defiling” himself was proof of his possession.  As night sets in, he begins to shiver from the cold.  Once again, the priest claims it’s proof that he’s possessed - that the demon inside of him is causing his body to shake.
If they would just leave him alone, he could use his powers to escape, but they don’t.  They take shifts, praying constantly and ignoring anything he says.  He begs them to let him go, but the priest keeps saying he isn’t fooled by the demon’s trickery.
Michael isn’t even sure how he loses control of his bladder a second time when he hasn't had anything to drink, but the acrid smell makes him throw up.  He hasn’t had any food since Sunday dinner, and it’s early Wednesday.  The priest only says again that it’s the demon’s doing - proof that he's being controlled by something evil.
They finally give him water, but no food.  He tries to use his powers to scare them.  To move and break things in the cellar.  He only needs a moment alone to get out and away.  Instead, the priest heats his metal cross over a candle and presses it into his skin. His forearm is first - the metal sizzles where it touches him - the pain is the worst he’s known and Michael can’t hold back his screams.  The smell of his own flesh burning hits him next, making him gag as the priest repeats the process on his upper arm.
“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil."
How ironic is it that their angel has his name, yet he’s being accused of being a demon?
"May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.”
He loses control of his powers, the force of it exploding outward all around him - rattling everything in the basement.  Afterwards, he passes out.
When he wakes up, he’s laid out on the floor with the woman and the priest leaning over him, asking if he’s alright.  Does he remember anything from his possession?
Terrified they might start the exorcism again, he insists he can’t remember any of the last week.  The woman sobs, thanking God and the priest for saving his soul.
The priest eyes him suspiciously and warns them it might not be over.  “Demons may be exorcised, or driven out, from a possessed person,” he cautions.“However, this may be dangerous if not followed by stringent cleaning and discipleship. Without proper spiritual care, the person might then be open for a seven-fold infestation.”
Michael barely suppresses a shudder when the woman instantly says they’ll do it again if they have to.  Only then is he allowed to go upstairs and clean himself up.  The clothing is a lost cause.  He wads it up and stuffs it into the bathroom trash.  The smell from them is so strong it starts to fill the small space, and he ends up tying up the bag to throw away when he’s finished cleaning himself.  There’s a medkit in the bathroom with burn cream in it, and he applies it to the marks he can reach.  He pulls on a hoodie afterward - tugging the sleeves down to hide the marks even though he knows you aren’t supposed to cover burns.  He can’t look at them; doesn’t want anyone else to see them.  He follows every fucked up rule without hesitation for the next week.
He’d planned to sneak out the night of his birthday, but fear of another exorcism makes him ask permission to go camping instead, stressing it’s with Max and not mentioning Isobel at all.  The head of the group home agrees, though the woman who did the exorcism watches him warily.  She approaches him before he leaves to give him a rosary.  He takes it so he can escape out the door before things escalate.
If, on the way back to the group home after burying a body in the middle of the desert, he finds himself fingering the rosary, it’s only because his hands are still shaking from shock.
“And nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.” He finds himself quoting, and hates himself for it.
He’s felt like the group home has been trying to convince him that he’s wrong and unclean since he’d first arrived.  Now, after using his powers to bury a body, he isn’t sure he’ll ever feel clean again.
End
SuburbanSun beta-ed the absolute mess this fic was when I begged for help with it.  Thank-you! Thank-you!  I probably should have begged for more help after I finished fixing it up, so any remaining errors are definitely all on me.
Long Mostly Unnecessary Author Notes:
I’ve wanted to write a fic focusing on the exorcism since episode 01x06 aired, and episode 01x10 only made me want to write it more.
I have a life long fascination with all things supernatural, so I’ve actually read and watched a lot of things about exorcisms - both about what is supposed to be done if going through official channels (which actually involves a ton of medical and psychological testing and can take years to be approved), and what happens when some zealot decides they can just take things into their own hands. (Which in some cases I’ve read about led to the death of those involved.)
That being said, and I’ve admitted this as a writer in previous fandoms while attempting to write about religious characters, I am agnostic. So any and all religious references have truly only been moderately researched.  I apologize if that has led me to making any blazing errors.
Michael mentions in 1x10 that the group involved were “Fundamentalist Religious Freaks.” Fundamentalist, according to the dictionary, is a person who believes in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture in a religion. Which to me says that they’re the types who follow the letter and not the meaning of what they preach.
Even though both young Michael to Max, and older Michael to Alex, basically shrug off this group as being crazy, we know he was in their care for a minimum of three years (11-14).  He may have been in their care up to 16 or 17 since he makes no more mention of another group home or foster parent and we don’t know when exactly he started living homeless.  So that makes it 3-6 years he stayed with them.  That’s a lot of years, and I feel like on some level, especially coming to them at 11, it would have affected his thoughts about right and wrong and himself,  whether he admitted it or not, so I wanted to hint at that as well.

Elsabet (Female Lich) SFW
Tumblr media
Rating: Teen Relationship: Female Lich x MTF Trans Reader Additional Tags: Reader Insert, Exophilia Content Warnings: MTF Trans, Pre-HRT, Dysphoria Words: 1536
I got a request from @chaoswolf1982 for a fem trans reader and a Lich lady, and managed to knock it out in a few hours! This was a fun one, since the Elsabet is from the 1600s and speaks all fancy, and I haven’t done a MTF trans woman before now, so that was a new experience, too! Please enjoy!
I accept requests, but they are limited to 1500 words. Anything more than that, and I’m afraid I’ll have to charge.
Tumblr media
The day it happened was actually your first day on the demolition site. It was a shame; this crumbling ruin must have been glorious when it was first built. You could see the structure of the fallen parapets and towers in your mind’s eye. There weren’t many real castles in your country, and even though it was the job you’d been given, you thought it a pity to get rid of it.
The other construction guys had been looking at you sideways all day. You hadn’t started hormone replacement therapy or undergone any surgeries yet, so even though you’d grown your hair out and despite wearing black jeans with flower embroidery and a feminine-cut button-up shirt with thin, pink pinstripes and a half sleeve, you still had a five o’clock shadow and a tell-tall adam’s apple. You knew you didn’t quite pass yet, but you didn’t care. You’d spent too much of your life hiding yourself and you just plain refused to do it anymore.
At least they had enough consideration to hold their tongues while you were in earshot. Not that it mattered, of course; you were the only explosives expert within a hundred miles that they could hire, so what they thought about you and your life choices didn’t make a difference either way.
“Okay, so, that tower that’s leaning,” You said to the tear-down team. “It doesn’t need explosives. If you take out those three support stones underneath it, it’ll come down pretty quick. The main hall is the one thing I’d say we’d need to rig up, but we’ll work inward toward it and leave it for last.”
“Okay, boys,” the team leader said. “You heard the…” He paused, side-glancing at you. “Start on that tower. I want to have at least half of it cleared out by dark.”
You shook off your annoyance and started mapping out the plans for the main hall. You heard distantly the sound of the supports being smashed away, looking up to make sure the men got out of the way before returning to your measurements.
Then a blood-curdling screech shattered the atmosphere around you. You stood up straight and saw the men scattering, yelling and cursing.
“What the hell is that?” You asked the men as they ran past you like rabbits from a fox. They all jumped into their trucks to flee.
“Wait!” You called, but they were gone, kicking up dust as they sped off. “It was probably just a coyote, you fucking cowards!” You shook your head and growled at them, as they left you here. You reached into your own truck and pulled out your high-impact airsoft rifle. You weren’t really a fan of guns, but you worked in the country a lot and predators were a common problem, so at the very least, a non-lethal deterrent was necessary.
You approached the fallen tower with your rifle up and ready, whistling loudly.
“Alright, whatever is in there needs to fuck off! I have a job to do here,” You said loudly, your voice echoing off the stones. You grimaced at the sound of it. You didn’t have a lot of body dysphoria, but your voice was one thing about yourself that really bothered you. You didn’t know how to make it sound more feminine without feeling like you were pretending.
You didn’t see any movement inside the main structure, so you called out again. “I’m serious! Get out of here!” You even cracked a BB off of the nearest rotting wooden window pane in warning, which you assumed once had glass.
To your immense surprised, a largish rock came sailing out of the darkness in your direction, and you ducked with enough time to avoid getting brained.
“Begone!” A voice inside said. It was a rasping, crackling voice, as if whoever it belonged to hadn’t used it’s own voice in quite some time. “Let this accursed woman rest! I have paid your infernal tax well into the next decade! Get thee hence and vex me no more!”
“I’m sorry, ma’am,” you said, lowering your rifle but stepping tentatively into the main hall. It was still pretty solidly standing. “This place has been scheduled for demolition. You can’t stay here.”
Another stone was lobbed at you, and you dodged it.
“Dost thou intend to eject a lady from her own dwelling? Bought and paid, I have! This land and all that exist within is my own! I shall not suffer thee! Darken my doorstep no further.”
“Ma’am, please,” You said. “This property is owned by the state. They’ve plans to turn it into a resort. You can’t stay. If I have to call someone to get you out of here, I will.”
“Threats?” You saw two pinpricks of light in the dark, moving around the room, and froze. “I should like to see thou maketh good on thy foolish promise. Come, then! Come and see that which you so blithely provoke.”
The person to whom the voice belonged stepped into the sunlight, and you immediately pulled your gun up again.
It was… a corpse. A walking, talking corpse made of tanned leather skin stretched over a skeleton with no muscle or organs beneath. It’s lips were drawn tightly back, leaving it’s long teeth exposed. The lights you had seen were coming from the sockets of its eyes, deep in the darkness of it’s skull. It was tall and wore a tattered, ill-fitting dress; old-fashioned, perhaps centuries old.
“Dost thou comprehend now?” It asked. “Dost thou see what it is you seeketh to expel from her own domicile?”
“What are you?” You asked in shock, your rifle forgotten in your hands.
“I am an undead thing, bound to this castle,” It said. It peered at you curiously. “What is thou?”
“I… I am a woman,” You replied, your heart skipping a beat. It was the first time you had ever said that sentence out loud.
The lights of it’s eyes dimmed, as if it was squinting. “Lookest ye not like a woman.”
“Neither do you,” You retorted, bristling.
You expected a barbed reply, but instead it said, “Thou dost not speaketh a falsehood,” It--she--sat on a moldering wooden chair. “This curse hast robbed me of much. My womanhood is but the smallest facet of the jewel that I once was.”
“How did this happen to you?” You asked, setting the rifle aside.
She waved a bony hand dismissively. “Money and power breedeth hostility. Any number of the vulgar rabble would revel in my misfortune. I am the last of my damned line. The curse hath fixed me so that no further children of my blood would be born, but that my house and name continue in death for eternity.”
She waved her skeletal hands at the remains of her castle. “All that you see is the remnants of my home and my prison. Eternally shalt I pay for the sins of my forebears, though no such sin did I commit.” She looked introspective, her angular shoulders hunched. “Perhaps, if thou dost breaketh down these walls, I shall crumble with it. Perhaps I, too, may fade.”
You knelt down. “How long have you been trapped here?”
“What is the year?” She asked, and you told her. She gasped softly in surprise. “Has it really been so long? I had grown melancholy that I thought to sleep for only a few years, just to pass the time. I have… severely miscalculated.”
You had the strange urge to reach out to her and take her hand, and you did. She looked at you in surprise.
“I’m sorry,” You said. “I can’t stop the demolition. It’s not up to me. You scared off this crew, but they’ll hire more.”
She shook her head, the wisps of hair still left on her scalp floated around her ears like dandelion fuzz.
“No,” She said. “What must be done shall be done. I shan’t stand in thy path or interfere in thy work. The time has come for the end, as all things must.”
“Are you sure?” I asked. “What will happen to you?”
“I do no know,” She said. “But circumstance will be different. That shall be well enough.”
“What’s your name?” You asked her.
She frowned, thinking. “It… it is Elsabet.”
Tumblr media
The next week, you began planting explosives around the main hall. Elsabet had retreated to the treeline to watch from a distance. The other workers hadn’t spotted her; the faded green hue of her clothes and tan of her skin made it easy to blend in with the foliage.
You twisted up the charges and set it to the trigger, calling for the team to clear the area. Once it was free of people and everyone was behind a blast shield, you glanced in Elsabet’s direction, and she nodded once. You pushed the plunger down, and the entire main hall blew out from the bottom and fell straight down, shooting dust and debris across the forest floor.
That evening, after spending at least twelve hours cleaning up the wreckage, you made it home and sank onto your couch with a groan of exhaustion.
You felt something push the hair away from your brow, and your eyes jerked open with a start. Elsabet knelt in front of you.
“This place hast not the grandeur of which I am accustomed,” she said. “But… it doth retain a… charm. Perhaps, if thou wouldst enjoy my company, I may stay with thee? I shall endeavor not to be troublesome.”
You smiled at her and touched her cheek. “Only if you want to.”

Ignis Info
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Full name: Ignis Crane
Species: Human
Age: 19 ( verse dependant )
Sexuality: Heterosexual
FC(s): Tsugumi Hazawa ( Bandori ) || Makoto Nijima ( Persona 5 ) || Shailene Woodley
Bio: Ignis is the only child of the Crane family, a powerful and rich family from Germany. Their business? It used to be dedicated to selling to the public nothing but the most quality art products at an accessible price, while also participating in charities. That has changed, however, with the death of the previous head, Marcus Crane. It was a tragedy, all happening during a car accident – it was considered a miracle that his daughter, Ignis, survived with little to no injuries outside of a few broken bones.
The death of her father caused much pain to the little girl – she was six at the time, and the two of them were very close: he introduced her to the world of art, the basics of drawings and painting, that there are no limits to the imagination. Once he was out of the picture, however, not only did Elizabeth take over the company, changing the angle from art to calculators and office materials (and stopping the charities altogether) but also had complete control over her daughter’s agency and will for almost a decade. Strick classes, no light in her life, forced to become a perfect woman who knew multiple languages and how to behave like a proper upper-class lady. The few times Ignis defied her mother at first, the punishments could be either several slaps in the face of being locked in her bedroom for hours.
Ignis was scarred for life, being physically and mentally abused and without any way of contacting the outside world. But everyone has their limits – she reached her at the age of fourteen. She wanted a life, a normal life, to feel the sun, go to school like most teenagers, to simply… live. It took more than a couple of months, but her plan worked. With nothing but a small bag pack, her most important belongings, and cutting any way her mother could use to track her – so, no mobile phone, no credit cards, no electronic devices – and left the manor in the depths of the night, took the first train available to France, and left Germany during a cold winter’s night.
It’s not like she travelled to another country without a plan in mind. She knew exactly why to go to France and not anywhere else. That country is where the only living relative who actually cares about her lives: Marianne Crane, her grandmother and father’s mother. The woman, currently in her late 60’s, was surprised to see her only granddaughter, now fully a teen, at her door’s house so early in the morning. But it didn’t take too long for the woman to catch up to what happened – after all, she disliked Elizabeth Woodford from day one, never liked the idea of her son marrying her, and learning what she did to Ignis only increased her hate for the woman. They began a new life together, depending on one another, helping each other… Marianne did everything she could to help Ignis get enrolled into a decent High School. It started slowly, cutting ties with the past – such as cutting Ignis’ long hair to have it barely above her shoulders – and having new additions to the family, such as a Dalmatian whom Ignis named Shady.
Due to the lack of communication with other people – either because she didn’t see that many people or wasn’t allowed to talk period – Ignis has a hard time opening up to others. Not to mention she avoids talking too in-depth about her family outside of her grandmother and her father; to avoid the bad memories, of course, but also to prevent from being recognised as the daughter of a rich family. Despite the awkwardness at first, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a sweet girl who will offer a hand to others if necessary. Another downside to not be used to social interactions is being quite slow in the romantic department, not catching up to flirting or the like as fast as most people.
                                 -----------------------------------------------
V001: Timid Artist
Default main verse. All the information necessary is at her bio page; this is also her default “College Verse”, in which she’s studying to get a degree in arts. Aside from getting paid by walking the dogs of the neighbourhood, Ignis accepts commissions online and gets paid via Patreon. She would like to teach young kids how to draw, or just be a Kindergarten teacher in some shape.
V002: Sanctuary Underneath the School
Amour Sucre verse. After moving with her grandmother, Ignis never thought she would end up assisting to a school like this. Very pink and bright, even the same sounds like out of a romantic comedy. But she does her best to live her daily life as normal as possible, being careful to not get recognized by who her mother is by accident. She usually spends time in the basement where she paints the walls… very illegal, but is where she goes to find peace and leave behind expectations and mean girls.
NOTE: Age is 16 - 17 in this verse within the context of the original Amour Sucre. If it goes into the realm of MCLUL, then her main age is 19 and she’s ( in most versions of this AU ) married to Castiel Heinsworth / @kindcstguardian
V003: Hiding in Plain Sight
Alternate main verse. Ignis underestimated the persistence and resources her mother has at her disposal being a millionaire and all. She and her grandmother had to react quickly, moving to a country which they were sure her mother wouldn’t suspect of them living there. Marianne, luckily, made the process easier than it could’ve been thanks to some old friends from said country, but is still a sad departure.
V004: A Stranger in the Chat
Mystic Messanger verse. It all started with a mysterious cell phone. Ignis had only picked it up to return it to its owner if given the chance. One thing led to another and curiosity killed the cat – it’s still strange how all of this was happening not too long after moving to Korea with her grandmother. And now, the artist was stuck in a mysterious apartment with nothing but her backpack, her cell phone, and a private app to RFA’s chat log.
V005: Royalty from Beelzenia [Private w/kindcstguardian]
Madness of Duke Venomania verse. The Crane aristocrats, like any other citizen from the Beelzenian Empire, share the same physical features. Brown and red hair or eyes. Ignis inherited the red eyes from her father, who inherited them from his mother way back when -- the bright brown hair, on the other hand, came from her mother.
The happy family didn’t last for long, as her father tragically passed away. The reason? Poison. Someone had poisoned the aristocrat kind man, leaving his wife and daughter alone in the world. This is when the lady began to show her true colours -- Ignis saw just how cruel and despicable she could be. Elizabeth spent the majority of the following 12 years shaping Ignis into the perfect, passive little wife, all while searching for a suitor for her.
Soon enough, much quicker than Ignis would’ve anticipated, she was engaged to Sateriaris Venomania.
V006: Speechless Lady
Royalty verse. Ever since her father’s death, Ignis has been living under an iron grim. Always occupied, always with etiquette lessons on how to be a proper Lady of society. She knew what her mother was trying to do. It was so obvious to her and the staff of the mansion. Ignis Crane was to be made into the perfect bride to be, so the search for a husband would be easier on her end and Elizabeth Crane could arrange a marriage for Ignis. All for the sake of money, titles and recognition.
She couldn’t say no, she couldn’t say anything ever. Ignis was nothing but a puppet for her mother, to be toyed and played with until she was perfect.
V007: Witness my Resolve
Persona 5 or Sweet Persona verse. Despite doing the impossible, Ignis didn’t feel like she had accomplished much. Sure, being with her grandmother and as far away from her old life as possible, down to the point of moving to Japan, was leagues better than the life of abuse she endured for so long. And yet, nothing about her had changed -- Ignis was still a pretty reserved girl who had trouble interacting with others and opening up ( not to mention the language barrier as a new obstacle ).
Things didn’t get better once she began attending Shujin Academy. All alone and timid, not many people tried to talk to her, and those who did struggle with their broken English or her broken Japanese. The gym coach, Mr Kamoshida, didn’t make things better for her. He kept pushing her forward under the excuse of “It will help you open up!” but it only made her more anxious, not to mention the guy itself freaked out, even if Ignis never knew why for half a year.
Imagine her surprise, the following months, when the pieces began to fall into place. It all happened one day after class, all Ignis wanted to do was return to Sakamoto Ryuji his school book that he had forgotten at the end of the class, but instead of simply returning it to him and leaving, she ended up on a reality much like her own but very different at the same time.
That’s when she saw them. The two boys and one girl, one being Sakamoto, all dressed up in leather, black or red, and wearing masks, with them was a strange-looking cat ( and it talked! ), and in front of them was Kamoshida... a Kamoshida that resembled her worst nightmares, one that made her feel scared for the first time since she ran away. The strange creatures immediately captured her, bringing her up to Kamoshida, who only laughed at her suffering. And all Ignis could think of was... Why? Why was this happening? Why couldn’t she do anything to escape? But, is running away the best option?
Then, she heard a voice. ‘My, my, you have finally awoken, my child,’ and her head spin and hurt like hell. ‘Running away can only get you so far. Is this how you really want to live your life? Afraid like a mouse, constantly running? Deep down, you know you don’t want this,’ her body juggled in all directions while still feeling the firm grip of the monsters, she was trying to escape. ‘I am Thou, Thou art I. Let me grant you the means to push forward and not turn back in fear.’
Ignis felt a rush of adrenaline in her veins, enough to set herself free while feeling something take form in her face. A mask, a Venetian mask, and she knew what to do next. When she ripped it off her face, it felt like being born again. Her clothes changed to go with the others, her right hand now held a long silver trident and behind her stood her Persona, Jean D’Arc.
CODENAME: DA VINCI || PERSONA: JEAN D’ARC || ARCANA: LOVERS
Note: Since this verse will be used for the Sweet Persona AU as well ( a MCL AU heavily inspired by P5 ), her awakening takes place inside a different palace. Also, her age in this verse isn’t 19 but 16.
V008: Beginning Anew
Fire Emblem Three Houses verse. To be written in more detail later but here are some important tidbits:
Ignis is the only child of the Cranes, which is a respected noble family from the Empire. 
Her father died when she was young and, not too long after, her mother took control over her life, forcing her to be the perfect child.
It was unknown for 10 years but Ignis bears a Minor Crest, even though nobody can tell which crest it is. (That crest is one of the ones lost to history, the Crest of Noa)
This way of living was too much for her. At the age of fourteen, she fleed the place that used to be her home, nowadays known as the House Woodford, and left the Empire. 
She went to live with her grandmother, who is currently living in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.
The girl has an affinity for magic; with the help of her grandmother, she enrolled in the Royal School of Sorcery in Fhirdiad. Her top marks and dedication guaranteed her a letter of recommendation to, later on, enroll in the Officers Academy as a student of the Blue Lions.
She’s 16 pre-timeskip and 20 post-timeskip.
She specializes in magic and sucks with most weapons except the bow. Her class is probably the Warlock.
V009: Obey me
Obey me verse. How did this happen? How did this come to be? One second, Ignis was on her way home from class, already thinking about what to cook for dinner and to also do some quick grocery shopping for the dogs, and then the next... She, well, si not even in the same familiar streets or in the same familiar town anymore. It took more than a couple of hours for her to catch up on what’s going on and even then this all feels like a strange dream. The Royal Academy o Diavolo?? She’s a transfer student from the human side?? There are demons in this realm?? At least half of them are named after the demons linked to the seven deadly sins? Oh boy, this is going to be wild.
V010: Overwatch
Overwatch verse. Tired of being forced to be basically a living doll --- never talking back, never acting out of line, always looing, acting and being perfect, always being AFRAID --- for her entire life after her father’s death, Ignis Crane decided to take matters into her own hands. It took at least a year to plan out and do it on her own so she wouldn’t be discovered, plus the many trial and errors she run across when building her own machinery, but once she was ready, the heist began.
Ignis cut her long, beautiful brown hair, leaving it as short as a boy’s haircut; her perfectly tidy and clean dresses were replaced by a worn-out hoodie, shirt, jeans and running shoes, all covered in dirty, paint or both; the hood of said hoodie covered her head, while a grey scarf covered her face just below the nose and a pair of goggles rested on the upper side of her face.
At first glance, Ignis looked like a street-rat graffiti artist ready to vandalize any wall no matter what. Well, good, the disguise worked. Sure, she carried around lots of spray paint cans but not all of them worked as intended, not to mention the flamethrower she had on her back alongside her backpack with money, some food and replacement parts. The spray paint cans had paint in them, yes, but at least half of them were modified to work as bombs -- her way to stop the police or omnic ( or anyone, really ) chasing after her by leaving them in a sticky situation against the ground or wall. She also carried lots and lots of bedbugs to leave on the ground. The flamethrower, which she found by chance some years ago, was cleaned and refilled with fuel ( which her bag had more spares in case it runs out ). Ignis does have one more ace under her sleeve, a bomb, but didn’t have time to make a lot of those and still inexperienced in that area, so those little guys are reserved for special circumstances.
Her main goal, at first, was to not only become a runaway but to also expose her step-mother for the vile that she is. Her first heist was to her mother’s money vault, after all, and Ignis took as much money as she could before leaving, but not without leaving a message with her spray paint: Elizabeth Woodford is a Talon associate, she’s an enemy of society --- Phoenix. A few days later, after she began appearing on the news as a fugitive and criminal, Ignis felt so much satisfaction for ruining with her mother’s perfect image that she thought of continuing on with this, to mess with as many asshole rich people as possible and steal ( some of ) their money for those who need it.
V011: Kamiaso
Kamigami no Asobi verse. In order for his plan to proceed without any inconveniences, Zeus decided to bring not one but two humans to the Garden, to act as teachers and guides to the gods. Kusanagi Yui was his first choice from the beginning, but picking another worthy human was a tough choice. In the end, after searching and searching, inspecting different countries and such, he found his second candidate.
Ignis Crane, after returning home from her college classes, was planning to rest for a bit before doing her homework and other house chores. However, just as she was about to lay down on the sofa, a powerful light engulfed her whole, blinding her. The last thing she heard was Shady’s barks as the scenery around her changed. -- she was no longer at her house in Paris, France, but in a world unlike any other, and soon to be tasked to get along and live with literal all-mighty Gods.

You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.
Daddy, I have had to kill you. You died before I had time— Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco seal And a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off the beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du. In the German tongue, in the Polish town Scraped flat by the roller Of wars, wars, wars. But the name of the town is common. My Polack friend Says there are a dozen or two. So I never could tell where you Put your foot, your root, I never could talk to you. The tongue stuck in my jaw. It stuck in a barb wire snare. Ich, ich, ich, ich, I could hardly speak. I thought every German was you. And the language obscene An engine, an engine, Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen. I began to talk like a Jew. I think I may well be a Jew. The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gypsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew. I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You— Not God but a swastika So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you. You stand at the blackboard, daddy, In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot But no less a devil for that, no not Any less the black man who Bit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do. But they pulled me out of the sack, And they stuck me together with glue. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, A man in black with a Meinkampf look And a love of the rack and the screw. And I said I do, I do. So daddy, I'm finally through. The black telephone's off at the root, The voices just can't worm through. If I've killed one man, I've killed two— The vampire who said he was you And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now. There's a stake in your fat black heart And the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through. In Memory of W. B. Yeats by W. H. Auden I He disappeared in the dead of winter: The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted, And snow disfigured the public statues; The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day. What instruments we have agree The day of his death was a dark cold day. Far from his illness The wolves ran on through the evergreen forests, The peasant river was untempted by the fashionable quays; By mourning tongues The death of the poet was kept from his poems. But for him it was his last afternoon as himself, An afternoon of nurses and rumours; The provinces of his body revolted, The squares of his mind were empty, Silence invaded the suburbs, The current of his feeling failed; he became his admirers. Now he is scattered among a hundred cities And wholly given over to unfamiliar affections, To find his happiness in another kind of wood And be punished under a foreign code of conscience. The words of a dead man Are modified in the guts of the living. But in the importance and noise of to-morrow When the brokers are roaring like beasts on the floor of the Bourse, And the poor have the sufferings to which they are fairly accustomed, And each in the cell of himself is almost convinced of his freedom, A few thousand will think of this day As one thinks of a day when one did something slightly unusual. What instruments we have agree The day of his death was a dark cold day. II You were silly like us; your gift survived it all: The parish of rich women, physical decay, Yourself. Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry. Now Ireland has her madness and her weather still, For poetry makes nothing happen: it survives In the valley of its making where executives Would never want to tamper, flows on south From ranches of isolation and the busy griefs, Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives, A way of happening, a mouth. III Earth, receive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel lie Emptied of its poetry. In the nightmare of the dark All the dogs of Europe bark, And the living nations wait, Each sequestered in its hate; Intellectual disgrace Stares from every human face, And the seas of pity lie Locked and frozen in each eye. Follow, poet, follow right To the bottom of the night, With your unconstraining voice Still persuade us to rejoice; With the farming of a verse Make a vineyard of the curse, Sing of human unsuccess In a rapture of distress; In the deserts of the heart Let the healing fountain start, In the prison of his days Teach the free man how to praise. Proem: To Brooklyn Bridge by Hart Crane How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest The seagull's wings shall dip and pivot him, Shedding white rings of tumult, building high Over the chained bay waters Liberty— Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes As apparitional as sails that cross Some page of figures to be filed away; —Till elevators drop us from our day ... I think of cinemas, panoramic sleights With multitudes bent toward some flashing scene Never disclosed, but hastened to again, Foretold to other eyes on the same screen; And Thee, across the harbor, silver-paced As though the sun took step of thee, yet left Some motion ever unspent in thy stride,— Implicitly thy freedom staying thee! Out of some subway scuttle, cell or loft A bedlamite speeds to thy parapets, Tilting there momently, shrill shirt ballooning, A jest falls from the speechless caravan. Down Wall, from girder into street noon leaks, A rip-tooth of the sky's acetylene; All afternoon the cloud-flown derricks turn ... Thy cables breathe the North Atlantic still. And obscure as that heaven of the Jews, Thy guerdon ... Accolade thou dost bestow Of anonymity time cannot raise: Vibrant reprieve and pardon thou dost show. O harp and altar, of the fury fused, (How could mere toil align thy choiring strings!) Terrific threshold of the prophet's pledge, Prayer of pariah, and the lover's cry,— Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift Unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of stars, Beading thy path—condense eternity: And we have seen night lifted in thine arms. Under thy shadow by the piers I waited; Only in darkness is thy shadow clear. The City's fiery parcels all undone, Already snow submerges an iron year ... O Sleepless as the river under thee, Vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod, Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend And of the curveship lend a myth to God. Tom O' Bedlam's Song anonymous ballad, circa 1620 From the hag and hungry goblin That into rags would rend ye, The spirit that stands by the naked man In the Book of Moons, defend ye. That of your five sound senses You never be forsaken, Nor wander from your selves with Tom Abroad to beg your bacon,    While I do sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. Of thirty bare years have I Twice twenty been enragèd, And of forty been three times fifteen In durance soundly cagèd. On the lordly lofts of Bedlam With stubble soft and dainty, Brave bracelets strong, sweet whips, ding-dong, With wholesome hunger plenty,    And now I sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. With a thought I took for Maudlin, And a cruse of cockle pottage, With a thing thus tall, sky bless you all, I befell into this dotage. I slept not since the Conquest, Till then I never wakèd, Till the roguish boy of love where I lay Me found and stript me nakèd.    While I do sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. When I short have shorn my sow's face And swigged my horny barrel, In an oaken inn, I pound my skin As a suit of gilt apparel; The moon's my constant mistress, And the lovely owl my marrow; The flaming drake and the night crow make Me music to my sorrow.    While I do sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. The palsy plagues my pulses When I prig your pigs or pullen Your culvers take, or matchless make Your Chanticleer or Sullen. When I want provant, with Humphry I sup, and when benighted, I repose in Paul's with waking souls, Yet never am affrighted.    But I do sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. I know more than Apollo, For oft when he lies sleeping I see the stars at mortal wars In the wounded welkin weeping. The moon embrace her shepherd, And the Queen of Love her warrior, While the first doth horn the star of morn, And the next the heavenly Farrier.    While I do sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. The Gypsies, Snap and Pedro, Are none of Tom's comradoes, The punk I scorn, and the cutpurse sworn And the roaring boy's bravadoes. The meek, the white, the gentle, Me handle not nor spare not; But those that cross Tom Rynosseross Do what the panther dare not.    Although I sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. With an host of furious fancies, Whereof I am commander, With a burning spear and a horse of air To the wilderness I wander. By a knight of ghosts and shadows I summoned am to tourney Ten leagues beyond the wide world's end: Methinks it is no journey.    Yet I will sing, Any food, any feeding,    Feeding, drink or clothing;    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,    Poor Tom will injure nothing. After the Persian by Louise Bogan I I do not wish to know The depths of your terrible jungle: From what nest your leopard leaps Or what sterile lianas are at once your serpents' disguise      and home. I am the dweller on the temperate threshold, The strip of corn and vine, Where all is translucence (the light!) Liquidity, and the sound of water. Here the days pass under shade And the nights have the waxing and the waning moon. Here the moths take flight at evening; Here at morning the dove whistles and the pigeons coo. Here, as night comes on, the fireflies wink and snap Close to the cool ground, Shining in a profusion Celestial or marine. Here it is never wholly dark but always wholly green, And the day stains with what seems to be more than the      sun What may be more than my flesh. II I have wept with the spring storm; Burned with the brutal summer. Now, hearing the wind and the twanging bow-strings, I know what winter brings. The hunt sweeps out upon the plain And the garden darkens. They will bring the trophies home To bleed and perish Beside the trellis and the lattices, Beside the fountain, still flinging diamond water, Beside the pool (Which is eight-sided, like my heart). III All has been translated into treasure: Weightless as amber, Translucent as the currant on the branch, Dark as the rose's thorn. Where is the shimmer of evil? This is the shell's iridescence And the wild bird's wing. IV Ignorant, I took up my burden in the wilderness. Wise with great wisdom, I shall lay it down upon flowers. V Goodbye, goodbye! There was so much to love, I could not love it all; I could not love it enough. Some things I overlooked, and some I could not find. Let the crystal clasp them When you drink your wine, in autumn. Elegy Written in a Country Church-Yard by Thomas Gray The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me. Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds: Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such as, wandering near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign. Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap, Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, The rude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep. The breezy call of incense-breathing morn, The swallow twittering from the straw-built shed, The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed. For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care: No children run to lisp their sire's return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share, Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke; How jocund did they drive their team afield! How bow'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke!

Canticle Thanks
So, my very first tumblr smut has had a bit of a renaissance today which is super awesome!  Thanks for reading it!  There have been a few similar comments with similar thoughts so I figured I’d take a minute to post a thanks to all the new readers/commenters/rebloggers/likers but also to throw some knowledge at you all (because then I can count my tumblr surfing as work hours since this knowledge comes from my field of study/work)!
Read Canticle Here
@thegreatficmaster reblogged this from impalasutra and added:
Sexing up god…BLASPHEMOUS!But I loved it!!So hot!!Goddamn…the way he ate me out…I have no idea what those poems were…but...
@archangels-lollipop said: 
This was gorgeous! The poetry was a beautiful touch!
So, there were a few comments about the poetry that the reader and Chuck recite to one another while they’re getting down and dirty.  And here’s the knowledge... are you ready?
Friends, the poetry is all from the Bible.
“Wait, whaaaaaaat?” you might be thinking, “that poetry was distinctly sexy/erotic.  There’s no way that’s in the Bible.”  Well, gentle reader, it is!  It comes from a book of the Old Testament that has a few different names, depending on which translation of the Bible you’re looking at.  It’s either called Song of Solomon, Song of Songs, or Canticle of Canticles (bet you can’t guess where I got the title for the fic...).  The long and short of it is that Song of Songs is an erotic poem smack dab in the middle of the Old Testament of the Bible (or just in “The Bible” for my Jewish readers out there).
This could get long so I’m gonna go ahead and throw a cut in here in case you’ve had enough Bible learning for one post.  But if anyone is interested, there’s more about Song of Songs (most Biblical scholars’ preferred title for the book) if you click “Keep Reading”
So, Song of Songs, Canticle of Canticles... it’s a GREAT book but one that so often gets over looked.  It’s short, it’s poetry, and it gets down right erotic.  Yup, the Bible talks about sex in more than a “Thou shall not...” kind of way.  There are three distinct characters in the book - a young girl, a young boy, and the women of Jerusalem.  Now, when I say young, I mean 12-14ish, which wasn’t all that young back then but to our modern sensibilities is quite young, especially for sex stuff.  Note: Some scholars disagree that they’re quite young and prefer, instead, to call them a man and a woman.  My Hebrew professor was all about their youth, though, so that’s where I tend to land on the matter, too.
The Song itself is a long poem about sexual love and erotic desire.  The human body is celebrated as both an object of desire and a source of delight (aka the pleasure part of sex).  The young lovers basically play hide and seek all night - not really, but they’re searching for each other - while they talk about how much they love each other, how hot the other one is, and make thinly veiled references to sex.  Throughout the poem, the women of Jerusalem act as a sort of Greek Chorus and they cheer the lovers on as they serve as the reader’s entry into the poem.
Oh, also, most scholars agree that the young couple isn’t married.  So not only is there sex in the Bible but it’s premarital sex.  GASP!  There are no finicky “family values” to get in the way here!  Song of Songs is all about the pleasure of sex.  The lovers’ desire for one another - not marriage, not having children, just their desire - is the central theme of the poem.
Another fun fact is that Song of Songs is kind of inherently queer.  Though it is about a young girl and young boy, the gender norms that we have come to expect from Biblical texts are absent and, in their place, is a refreshingly open attitude toward gender.  The young girl pushes back against men mentioned throughout the poem - her brothers and the city guard - and the women of Jerusalem praise her for it.  There also isn’t any hierarchy within the lovers’ relationship.  The girl states that she belongs to her love and, in the same breath, that he belongs to her as well.  This equality (among other things) makes the couple deviant in the public eye and the girl suffers because of it.  She talks about how she longs for her mother’s approval of her relationship but is afraid she won’t get it, a very real situation for many young (and not-so-young) queer people.
Oh, and some modern scholars like to say that Song of Solomon - because these scholars seem to be the ones to hold tightest to the most contested of the book’s titles - is an allegory for Jesus and his love for the Church and there’s not actually young, unwedded love on display; that would be heinous!  Well, I say that’s bullshit.  There was no Jesus when the poem was written so there was nothing off that sort to write an allegory about.  Can we, modern readers, read it that way? Yes.  Should we? Not really; I mean, it makes a nice point for my fellow Christians out there but that’s really not how it was intended.  Most progressive scholars agree that reading Jesus into the bulk of the Old Testament is pretty poor interpretive work.
So, anyhow, that’s your Bible learning for today.  Hope it was fun for you!
With Love,  Rev, your friendly neighborhood Bible scholar and smut writer
So, I didn’t really source anything in this post because it was all things that I have absorbed throughout my scholarly life.  However, if you’re looking for some things to read, I’ve got some suggestions.  There are a couple of books that I used a lot while writing papers about this kind of thing in grad school and they’ll have the info to support most of the points I made:
Take Back the Word: A Queer Reading of the Bible, edited by Robert E Goss and Mona West, published by The Pilgrim Press, 2000
Unprotexted Texts: The Bible’s Surprising Contradictions about Sex and Desire by Jennifer Wright Knust, published by Harper One, 2011
Song of Songs: A Commentary by J. Cheryl Exum, published by Westminster John Knox, 2005

How to Fight Different Kinds of Barrenness
Fighting the Barrenness of Old Age
Abram married Sarai, but she was not able to have children. Genesis 11:30 (Contemporary English Version) Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I PRAY THEE, GO IN UNTO MY MAID; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. Genesis16:1-4
We all know the story of Abraham and Sarah. You could consider Sarah as a type of the church. You could also consider her as a type of minister. Sarah could be likened to a pastor who is not bearing as much fruit as he ought to. Sarah could be likened to a wilderness kind of church in which there is no life.
1. Do not transfer the duty of outreach and church planting to anyone else. The pastor must lead the congregation to win the souls and bear fruit. According to Genesis 16:1-2, Sarah shifted the responsibility of childbearing to someone else. This was an attempt to overcome the barrenness she was experiencing. She tried to overcome barrenness in the wrong way.
2. Do not reject the prophetic Word.
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my Lord being old also? Genesis 18:12
Prophetic messages can make a difference in your ministry. Believe in the Lord and you shall be established, believe in His prophets and you shall prosper. Sarah laughed when she heard the prophecy about Isaac. Receive the visitation of God for your life through revelations, dreams and the spoken Word. Years ago, I received a message from a prophet. He saw me carrying a flaming torch and leading many people. He gave this message to me in 1980. Twenty-four years have gone by and this prophecy remains in my heart as a true vision. It encouraged me to do the work of God as a student. It encouraged me to persist in the ministry even after school.
3. Believe in God, His prophets and in the preaching of his Word. And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. Genesis 17:15
Walk in your calling. You must overcome the greatest enemies of the faith walk. Walking in fear and intimidation will not lead to fruitfulness in ministry.
4. Take the practical steps that lead to fruitfulness even if it looks like something for younger people. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age… And Abraham called the name of his son … Isaac. Genesis 21:2-3
Decide to be youthful, zealous, emotional, exciting, energetic and adventurous again. This will break the spell and curse of barrenness over your ministry. Sarah had sex with her husband at the age of ninety. No matter what prophecy is spoken over your life, there will always be some practical things you have to do. Isaac was not supernaturally conceived as in the case of Christ Jesus. He was conceived by the normal method of sexual intercourse. Sarah had to undress and act like an energetic young lady with a youthful husband. Abraham and Sarah were forced to engage in sexual happiness in their nineties. Can you imagine a ninety year old, menopausal woman acting like a pretty youthful bride again?
Some ministers act and think like people that are too old. Some amount of youthfulness is needed in the ministry. Youthfulness is necessary for fruitfulness.
Fighting the Barrenness of Familiarity
Familiarity is the greatest block to the anointing. It cuts off the flow of the anointing that is needed for church planting and church growth. Ministry is a spiritual thing and unless spiritual principles are obeyed, the ministry dries up and barrenness results.
Michal is a type of barren ministry. Michal suffered from familiarity toward her husband. She paid for it by becoming barren. Many people have become barren in ministry because they became too familiar with the man of God.
David went home so he could ask the Lord to bless his family. But Saul's daughter Michal went out and started yelling at him. 'You were really great today!' she said. 'You acted like a dirty old man, dancing half-naked in front of your servants' slave girls' David told her, 'The Lord didn't choose your father or anyone else in your family to be the leader of His people. The Lord chose me and I was celebrating in honour of him. I'll show you how great I can be! I'll even be disgusted to myself. But those slave girls you talked about will still honour me'. Michal never had any children.
2 Samuel 6:20-23 (Contemporary English Version)
7 Things Everyone Should Know about Familiarity
1. Familiarity means to know someone or something very well and in such a way as to cause you to lose your admiration, respect and sense of awe. It also connotes a sense of becoming presumptuous, where a person is too confident in a way that shows a lack of respect.
2. Familiarity was the cause of Michal's barrenness.
3. Familiarity is still the cause of spiritual barrenness in Christians today.
4. Familiarity is the greatest block to receiving God's power from God's men.
5. No matter how great the gift of God, it is neutralized by familiarity. Jesus was the greatest healer and teacher, yet his anointing was neutralized by the presence of familiar people.
And he went out from thence, and CAME INTO HIS OWN COUNTRY; and his disciples follow him. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? IS NOT THIS THE CARPENTER, the son of Mary … And they were offended at him. AND HE COULD THERE DO NO MIGHTY WORK, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. Mark 6:1-3, 5
This Scripture shows us that Jesus could not perform miracles in His hometown. They knew Him too well to receive Him as the Son of God. They had questions about His parents, His family and His background.
6. Moses who commanded a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day could not impress his own sister Miriam. She criticized him about his marriage and suffered for it. My heart is often closed to those who are familiar towards me. I simply do not flow towards them. I can virtually sense the questions in the hearts of people suffering from familiarity.
7. Familiarity carves out a road of ministry for anointed people. It directs them away from their colleagues, friends and family. It leads them towards the non-familiar, the poor the forgotten and neglected ones. This is where the outsiders come in. They often come in to replace people that have become too familiar with the anointed one.
Four Groups That Often Suffer from Familiarity
1. Colleagues Usually it is people who know you closely who suffer from familiarity. When I started my church as a medical student, very few of my colleagues were able to receive from me. They knew me too well and would say in their hearts, “Is this not Dag? We know him and we know his class. We saw him struggling at an exam last week. We know when he passes and when he fails! How can this lanky boy call himself a pastor?”
2. Relatives Relatives also suffer from familiarity. They would say. “Is this not Azoyzoy's (my father's nickname) son? We carried him when he was a baby.” They ask, “Do you remember me? I carried you when you were two years old.” They say, “I knew your father very well.” With this background, how can such people receive me as a man of God?
3. Pastors' wives Pastor's wives often suffer from severe familiarity. Just like Michal, when everyone is impressed, they are not impressed with their husbands. They say things like, “I know you”, “No one knows you better than I do”, “I am the only one who can tell you certain things!” “I am not one of those people who give you praise and affirmation in the office!”, “If people knew how you really were, they would be surprised”, “No one knows what you are really like.” In a sense, they are right about all these things, but the fact is that they are also victims of familiarity!
4. Close friends and Associates These people also experience familiarity. They have been around you for so long and they have seen your vicissitudes. It is easy to slip and slide into familiarity. Sometimes it would be better not to know someone closely in order not to develop an air of familiarity. Familiarity breeds disloyalty. Familiarity created Judas. Judas is referred to, as “mine own familiar friend”. When people are familiar, they lose their respect and they cross boundaries they should never cross. Familiarity makes people say things they should never say.
When Michal spoke against David, she stood in the shoes of a rebel fighting and opposing God's anointed. She became a critic of “the man after God's own heart”. David had built a tabernacle but she was not impressed. God called him “a man after mine own heart” but she, a mere mortal, despised him. Imagine that God is impressed but you are not impressed. Isn't it amazing? Familiarity often stems from jealousy and carnality. Michal was jealous of the girls who seemed to appreciate David's ministry. She disliked the fact that David seemed to be impressed with these young whippersnappers.
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, HOW GLORIOUS WAS THE KING TODAY, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 2 Samuel 6:20
When Miriam criticized Moses, she no longer saw him as God's anointed. She moved into the flesh and became a disloyal rebel.
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. Numbers 12:1
Judas was the highest kind of traitor. He paid the ultimate price for allowing himself to be deceived by familiarity.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. Psalm 41:9
Knowledge without Experience
I have had different people becoming close to me at different times in my life. Circumstances can sometimes cause people to associate closely with the man of God. Under these circumstances, the person is susceptible to the spirit of familiarity. It takes spiritual discipline not to become familiar. I have noticed in my life and ministry how people become over familiar when given the slightest chance. Let me just remind you of the definition of familiarity.
Familiarity means, “to know someone or something very well and in such a way as to cause you to lose your admiration, respect and sense of awe. It also connotes a sense of becoming presumptuous, where a person is too confident in a way that shows a lack of respect.”
One day, a young lady was having a problem in her marriage. Her husband said to her, “I am going to report you to the Bishop”. She retorted, “I don't care. He also has problems”. I smiled when I heard this. I knew that it was only familiarity that was rearing its head. Perhaps I was wrong to have allowed this person to spend a few nights in our home.
On another occasion, another relative who had spent a few days with our family was having some problems. After counseling this relative, she seemed to have understood what I had shared with her. She thanked me and seemed to be blessed.
Unfortunately, I later heard that she had said that I was a man of knowledge and not experience. What she was saying was that I had no experience in the kind of problem she had and that my advice was therefore theoretical. I thought to myself, “Today, I have become a man of knowledge without experience. It is only because I allowed this person to relate closely to my family and I, that she had the nerve to make such a comment.” Sometimes it is better to know someone from afar so that you can continue to receive from his ministry. When you are too familiar with your pastor, you can mistakenly see him as a man of knowledge without experience.
Assess Your Familiarity Level
In your relationship with a man of God, are you becoming familiar? The following signs will help you determine to what extent you are familiar. Remember that familiarity is the highest kind of anointing killer. It has the highest form of neutralizing the power of God's gift.
Twelve Signs of Familiarity
1. Often sitting at the back of the church. Familiarity is when you are no longer intrigued and excited about the pastor and his preaching. You do not bother to come near anymore. Familiar people just sit at the back and observe from a distance. Once I attended a Kenneth Hagin conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When I came into the hall, the ushers tried to give me a seat at the back. I thought to myself, “How can I sit at the back when Kenneth Hagin is preaching. I want to be as near as possible!” I negotiated with the usher and even made a friend.
I told him, “Sir, you don't know where I have come from.” I continued, “I have flown thousands and thousands of miles to be here today. I need to be as near as possible. There is no way I can go upstairs or even to the back.”
He seemed to understand and eventually I had my way. Unbelievably, I managed to sit on the second row. I was so excited when Kenneth Hagin walked by my seat as he preached. You see, when you are familiar, seeing a man of God nearby or from afar makes no difference.
Later on, I had a discussion with the principal of their Bible School. I asked him if they had any problems with their students. To my surprise, he did. Their main problem was familiarity. He said to me. “There are some students who do not come for important conferences like these.” He lamented, “This is a great prophet and people come from all over the world to receive from him. But right here, there are students who do not bother to cross the road and come to church”.
You see, familiarity breeds contempt. Familiarity is all about knowing someone very well. This causes you to lose your admiration and respect.
2. Yawning Yawning is often a sign of boredom. A familiar person is presumptuous and arrogantly assumes he knows what is coming. Often, people who yawn during the preaching of the Word are saying, “I know this sermon, I know what is coming. I know his line of thought. This man has nothing new to say,” Forgive!
3. Sleeping during preaching.
Sleeping occurs when we are tired. But sometimes it occurs as a result of monotony and boredom, when the man of God fails to intrigue you anymore, you may find yourself sleeping as he preaches.
4. Not buying or listening to tapes. Someone who listens to preaching tapes has not become familiar with the pastor's voice. He sees it as an opportunity to be continuously blessed by the pastor when he is not around. Have you asked yourself why you do not buy tapes anymore? The answer may be familiarity.
5. Not buying and reading books written by your man of God. I notice how people come from afar to buy my books. There are times people have travelled many miles to acquire and devour large quantities of my books and tapes. Amazingly my own church members often pass by these same books and tapes and instead call for two meat pies and a bottle of Coca Cola. Familiarity causes you to lose your sense of wonder and intrigue.
6. Discussing the background of the man of God.
Every man of God basically, is a “man”. Since he is a man, he goes through what all men go through. No man that God ever chose had a perfect life. He has a past! He has a family. He has failings. He has an imperfect marriage. He has challenges just like every one else. It's easy to pick on any aspect of his natural life and neutralize him. Discussing the man of God in a natural way is a sure sign that you have lost your sense of fascination for him. This is the surest way to cancel out the effect of the anointing on your man of God.
Thumos and Ekplesso
When Jesus preached in His hometown, the Scripture says in Luke 4:28, “when they heard these things, they were filled with wrath.’ The word “wrath” in Greek is the word “THUMOS”. This means incipient displeasure fermenting in the mind, it speaks of fierceness, indignation (as if breathing hard) and wrath. The familiar people were angry with Jesus” sermon. But when He preached in Galilee according to Luke 4:32 “they were astonished at His doctrine”. The word “astonished” is the Greek word “EKPLESSO” which means to be amazed, astonished and struck with terror. Notice that there are only four verses between THUMOS and EKPLESSO. Notice also that THUMOS took place in Nazareth, Jesus' hometown. EKPLESSO took place in a city of Galilee about two hundred kilometers from Jesus' hometown of Nazareth.
7. Discussing the family issues of the man of God. Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Mark 6:3
By doing this, you are cutting yourself from receiving God's miracle for your life. When Jesus went to his hometown, there was a long discussion as to who he really was. Someone said, “I know that boy, he is my nephew. He and his father have repaired my wardrobes and cupboards for many years”. Jesus could do very few miracles because of the high level of familiarity and doubt in the city. Do not let familiarity cut off your blessing.
8. Fault-finding and magnifying faults. Whenever you think of the great men of God you respect, you do not often think of their faults. When there is a visiting preacher, no one considers whether he is impatient or easily angered. No one thinks of whether this man is in debt or whether he has an extravagant lifestyle. All we do is to receive the ministry of this man of God.
However, these are thoughts that occur to us about men of God that we are familiar with. We think, “He must be angry today, this man is not patient.” As he preaches we say to ourselves, "We understand what he is saying; why does he not progress to the next point?” I remember years ago, I had a church member who really enjoyed my messages. She recommended me highly to many people who later joined the church. However as time went by, she became familiar with my preaching and me.
One day after church she said to me, “I think you went over last week's point for too long.” She continued, “There was very little time for the new points that you brought up.”
A few weeks later, she made another remark, “The repetition in your preaching is too much.” After this I noticed the frown on her face each time I preached. This lady eventually stopped coming to church.
She might have been right but what she did not realize was that, I was preaching to people who came to church this week and missed the next week. I virtually had a new crowd every week. I might have had my faults, but God has worked through me in spite of them.
Have you removed the log in your own eye? Why are you concentrating so hard on the speck in the pastor's eye? Familiarity has made you critical.
9. Evaluating and rating men of God. Democracy in its essential nature, calls on us to evaluate our leaders constantly. This is what enables us to vote for the right person. Unfortunately, many are deceived when they think that this same practice of evaluation must be brought into the church.
I was coming home one day after church when someone asked a question in the car. He asked, “How did you find the sermon?” The car was quiet for a moment then someone said, “I think he did well, I will give him 70%.”
Then an older man said, “No, no, no. He deserves about 49%.” Someone asked “Why 49%, the message wasn't too bad?” I mused to myself, “This poor pastor is being assessed by his congregation.”
10. Not believing the man of God's advice. When you regard someone highly, you cherish whatever advice he has to offer. As familiarity sets in, it becomes more and more difficult to accept advice. Every time advice is given there is a reason not to follow it.
11. Having no regard for the anointing. When you become familiar, you no longer relate with a man of God spiritually. The fact that he is even anointed does not occur to you. All you see are natural things. If your eyes are on the natural you will see weakness, dishonour and corruption.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in CORRUPTION; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in DISHONOUR; it is raised in glory: it is sown in WEAKNESS; it is raised in power: 1 Corinthians 15:42-43
The anointing for ministry is transferred from one man of God to another. The anointing for church planting is transferred from one person to another. Elisha had an exemplary relationship with Elijah. He called him “father” and served him for many years. He did not lose regard for the anointing because of his closeness. He was the beneficiary of a double portion of one of the greatest anointings.
Not every one suffers from familiarity. Some people are able to stay close and still have a high regard for the anointing. I have people around who have seen my human “weakness”, “dishonour” and “corruption” for many years and yet they maintain a sense of awe, fascination and respect for the presence of God upon my life. That is what Elisha did for many years and he received the double portion of the anointing that was on the life of Elijah. Do not be deceived by the apparent weakness of God's men. The weakness is God ordained. It is intended to filter off unworthy recipients of the grace of God.
Jesus taught us to appear weak in the face of arrogant and aggressive people. Turn the other cheek simply means do not fight. It could even mean act weak! Do not mind if they think you have no power. Is it not a “weakling” who would subject himself to more humiliating slaps? Is it not a weakling who would allow himself to be cheated of his clothes? But this is the Lord's instruction to us.
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, TURN TO HIM THE OTHER ALSO. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, LET HIM HAVE THY CLOAK ALSO. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, GO WITH HIM TWAIN. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Matthew 5:39-42
Sick but Anointed
Now Elisha was FALLEN SICK OF HIS SICKNESS WHEREOF HE DIED. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice. 2 Kings 13:14-19
Elisha was sick but anointed. He was dying but he was still anointed. His weakness, dishonour and corruption were apparent to all. He performed his last miracle on his death bed and God moved mightily. One of the highest kinds of deception is to look on outward appearances and pass judgment.
…for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7b
This is what leads to racism and prejudice of which we are all guilty. Mercy and forgiveness! How often we judge people by what we see on the outside. Our error will be exposed shortly.
Dead but Anointed
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and TOUCHED THE BONES OF ELISHA, HE REVIVED, AND STOOD UP ON HIS FEET. 2 Kings 13:20-21
You can even be dead and anointed! Believe it or not, the lingering anointing on a dead prophet raised someone from the dead. It is easy to be deceived by the natural weakness of God's servants.
12. Not honouring and appreciating your man of God.
As you get used to your pastor, it is easy to take him for granted. We often neglect those with whom we are familiar.
I remember one pastor who had never been honoured by his congregation. His church was constantly blessing a particular honoured visiting preacher. When this visiting preacher came to hold a convention, the crowds would gather and the people would express their appreciation for the visiting minister. They would bring money and gifts to honour this visiting minister. But the church would never honour its own pastor. The deception here is that the visitor is the one who is sent from God to them. But the reality is that their own familiar pastor is the one who labours over them with love.
I teach my church members that it is biblical to honour and give gifts to the man of God. This is not to enhance the lifestyle of the man of God but it is to honour God's gift and to kill the spirit of familiarity. Furthermore, by these few pages, my son, be admonished because of making many books there is no end!

Gender Differences: What a Great Idea!
Applying the concept of gender dynamics to our understanding of Literature.
Note: to be clear, this discussion functions with the binary concept of gender.  I know that homosexuals are real as are individuals who are bi, but they still fit into one of the two.  If you are a gay guy, you’re a guy, and if you’re a gay girl, you’re a girl. “Sorry Tumblr”
Tumblr media
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them."
Genesis 1: 27 (English-KJV)
"And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and
 he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,
 and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall
be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
Genesis 2: 21-13 (English-KJV)
". . .neither was man created for woman, but woman for man."
1 Corinthians 11:9  (English NIV)
EMILIA
'Tis not a year or two shows us a man:
 They are all but stomachs, and we all but food;
 To eat us hungerly, and when they are full,
 They belch us.  
OTHELLO
       Why did I marry?. . .curse of marriage,
       That we can call these delicate creatures ours,
       And not their appetites!            
DESDEMONA
EMILIA            
       But I do think it is their husbands' faults
       If wives do fall: say that they slack their duties,
       And pour our treasures into foreign laps,
       Or else break out in peevish jealousies,
       Throwing restraint upon us; or say they strike us,
       Or scant our former having in despite;
       Why, we have galls, and though we have some grace,
       Yet have we some revenge. Let husbands know
       Their wives have sense like them. . .
       Then let them use us well: else let them know,
       The ills we do, their ills instruct us so        
I would note that I consider this speech by Shakespeare one of his best examples of negative capability and that it matches the famous speech by Shylock in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.Act 3 Scene 1 Lines 49–61
Introduction
Humans have always been fascinated by the fact that there are two kinds of us: female and male.  We are alike in so many important ways, and yet it is our differences which constantly confound us.
The Cause of Tension  
"The woman whom thou gavest to be with me. . ."
"Ew!  You actually LIKE Girls?!"  This raw response of a seven year old boy to a friend who has been "consorting with the enemy" reveals the underlining hostility which seems to permeate the relationship between the two genders.  Oh, we may change our tune when we get older.  Biological attractions overcome boyish disdain, but it must be admitted that on some level many men never get over their boyish opinion of women.  Thus, the term misogynist (one who hates women) has been in our vocabulary for quite some time.  The question we might want to consider is "why?"
Duh! For One Thing, We're Different!
Tumblr media
This Image taken from 10 Things Men Never Want to Hear Their Women Say
One of the central reasons why men and women frustrate one another is that in some ways we are just plain different.  For a light-hearted look at this check out Matt  Groening’s “Women speak in estrogen and men listen in  testosterone.” Whenever I teach this section I ask the students (just as I asked you) what differences exist between men and women.  Here are some of the typical responses
Men
Rational                                                       Practical (Concrete or Bone headed)                        
Insensitive
Steady
Communicative Challenged
Physically Stronger
Single Minded and
Hierarchical in tasks
Primarily interested in act of procreation
Women
Emotional
Abstract (Transcendent or Nebulous)
Empathetic
Uneven (cycles)
Communication Addicted
Physically Weaker (but able to handle pain better)
Simultaneous Multiple Perspectives on Tasks
Primarily interested in the emotional nest (romance) needed to maintain the products of procreation (children).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Please let me state here that I do not stand behind this list as an absolute definition.  At best these are but generalities.  My mother is a former math teacher whose rational skills have navigated us through many a map and have left me checkmated more often than not.  In my own marriage my wife is far better with math (and money) than I am.  And when we were joined, she was the one who brought all the practical power tools to the marriage.  I brought books.  What this list does do is show at least the perceptions of differences between the sexes.
The question which often confounds scholars is how much of this difference is artificially created by culture and how much is biological innate to our beings.
The debate is pretty heated about this.  The only true biological differences with which most agree is that women have the equipment to bear children and men, in general, have more upper body strength.  These differences are enough to lead into the next question of abuse since lack of strength and the connection to domestic work has left women often at the mercy of men.
Abused Power = Breakdown in Communication
It is a sad fact that among humans whenever there is an imbalance of power there is the potential for abuse.  It happens between grownups and children.  But historically it has especially occurred between men and women.   When such abuse takes place communication and understanding break down.  (One does not usually want to understand those whom one subjugates.)  So in many households there have been two adults living under the same roof with two different agendas.    How the weaker has achieved her ends has caused for an even greater division between the genders.
Some may claim that the subservience of women is God's Law.  This is a debatable point with Christians arguing on either side.  However, what some might call God's ranking system--which never condoned the abuse of women--can not explain the world-wide existence of female inequality.  There are so many social expectations around the world which violate Judeo-Christian expectations.  Thus, to claim God's law is responsible for male female inequality ignores the simple fact that even in places where God's will is barely known, women are still kept at a lower station then men.  Thus I conclude that Male dominance is not based in God's will: the cause must the use or abuse of power.
Tumblr media
Let's face it, if all women were as strong as this young lady (Shelley Beattie) on the left appears to be, the number of domestic disturbances would probably go waaaay down. But most women are matched with men who are physically stronger than they. 
(Note: Please don’t fuss about how attractive you do or do not find Shelley; the fact is that this kind of conditioning involves training, a lot more than what most women and most men want to put in each day.  The point is that most women do not have this kind of physical strength.  Sadly I just learned that In 2008, Ms. Beattie committed suicide.  Very sorry.  According to the Wikipedia article about her, after her retirement Shelley not only starred in the TV show American Gladiators, but she worked with people with physical impairments (she suffered herself from deafness), made drums and jewelry, and worked as a personal trainer, clearly a special person lost).
Thus, women have lacked the power to achieve their goals directly.  When conflict interests occurs they have found other means to reach their ends than direct conflict.  See the lecture on   The Taming of the Shrew  specifically   Shakespeare's Good /Bad and Bad /Good Women. to see both methods examined as part of the analysis of the play.  Briefly women have two choices:
Confront the oppressive patriarchy directly–and be     branded a shrew (or in modern evangelical circles “a feminist”) or…
Submit and give verbal support that the male should be dominant and then subvert that power via manipulation be it sexual or psychological.
Tumblr media
The Depiction of the Tension
The study of literature reveals the importance of the tension between genders.  Unfortunately until recently most of the canon has been determined and created by men.  So there are few female forces through history to help give alternative perspectives about the nature of, forgive the cliché, "the battle of the sexes."  (Note, the existence of this cliché shows how old the problem is.)
The Anti-feminist Tradition
Medieval literature abounds especially with antifeminist themes which they based on certain scriptures.  In a civilization which looked to scriptural narrative to explain who the world worked as it did, women were often blamed for the fall of humanity because Eve first gave in to the serpent.  Because they are weaker than men, women are often shown using guile and deceit to bring about the ruin of their opponents.  In some of the Arthur legends they play the role of enchantress and temptress.  And it is no small matter that Queen Guinevere love for Lancelot eventually brings Camelot down.
There exists also a long tradition negatively portraying women who contradict their husbands directly.  These developed into a "stock character" often called a shrew.  Such characters usually were only two dimensional and lacked development beyond just a joke.  One of the most famous examples of this appears in medieval mystery plays involving Noah's wife who insisting on her right to gossip with her friends even while poor Noah is attempting to get her safely on the ark.
These shrews also are portrayed as sexually overt.  Thus in The Roman De La Rose (the Romance of the Rose) there is an old woman who gives advice to a young bride on how to abuse her husband sexually.
The Wife of Bath in Feminist Tradition
Tumblr media
Chaucer's Wife of Bath is both an affirmation of the medieval concept of the shrew as well as a rebuttal of it as the poet engages in a tour de force of the male imagination in "negative capability" (Keats).  He may start with a stock character-- a stereotype based on male fears-- but he then continues to reveal and develop her personality and examines her first from the outer qualities people see, then to her own experiences as framed by her testimony in her prologue (the longest in the Canterbury Tales) and finally to her own tale in which elements of her personality may come through without her overt knowledge. 
Tumblr media
This is strong psychoanalysis for what is in essence a figment of an artists imagination and yet, in a very real sense, Chaucer shows a woman first physically, then through her mind and finally through her heart.  For more of this go to Chaucer's Multiple Levels of Revelation of The Wife of Bath
Shakespeare's View in Taming of the Shrew
Meanwhile, in Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew he presents a wonderful study in contrast between two types of women (two sisters) with two different ways to deal with a oppressive patriarchy.  Bianca is all sweetness and all the men love her.  However, as the play progresses she is shown to be manipulative and not nearly so honest as her older sister.  Katrina meanwhile, confronts directly the male dominated society she finds herself in, but she also finds herself trapped in the cage of rage.  She is branded a Shrew and in fact fulfills that nature. This will be developed further in another lecture Shakespeare's Good /Bad and Bad /Good Women.
The Modern Feminist Tradition
Writers within this tradition embrace a wide variety of approaches to the question of women's place and power in culture and society.  Most of these approaches are allied by their critical analysis of patriarchal (male0dominated) and phallocentric (male-centered) institutions and practices.  Furthermore works may be analyzed by their interests in promoting women's issues and concerns.  These concerns rise to the forfront of literary concerns with the late 18th and early 19th century and have continued on to the present.  Among our readings the short story "A Jury by Her Peers" (written in the first part of the 20th century) is especially notable since it was written by a woman (Susan Gadspell). responding in a subversive way to the domineering and condescending attitudes of men 
The social parameters clearly shape the course of action that Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters.  At first glance "Roman Fever" written by another woman,   Edith Wharton, a little later than the first (1934) does not at first seem to fit the Feminist tradition.  However, part of the difficulties these two women share is that in their world, affluent New Yorkers, they are defined by only their roles as wives and mothers.   In "A Rose for Emily" this same gender tension (complicated still further by the roles of a daughter to a domineering father) is at the root of the problems Faulkner depicts the aristocratic Emily Grierson.  Finally the struggle between sexes over what will happen to a woman's body finds a critical analysis in  "Hills Like White Elephants" by Earnest Hemingway
 Conclusion
Thus gender tensions should be kept in mind while reading our selections of literature.  Don't be afraid to object to what may be an inaccurate assumption by an author about the nature of a gender.  Also ask yourself whether negative capability actually exists which allows the author to transcend the limitations of his or her gender perspective.  Consider also the roles of the sexes in today's world and compare them with the times being depicted.  Even stories based in the 1930s find a world different than our own.  Consider the classic film A Christmas Story (Ralphie wants a bee bee gun).  The entire controversy over the leg-lamp could only occur in a house hold in which the wife did not feel she had the power to object honestly and overtly.

Oxen of the Sun
The door! The Denzille lane boys. The impression made by Lydgate, stay, said Mr Dixon, and interrupted his diligent exploration. Remember it is the less actively there, like a sad milestone marking how far he would not go on sobbing: she was enamoured of intensity and greatness, and the chances of the course of life. Stand and deliver. Go thou and do likewise. Nay, are happy too as they might multiply the inlets of happiness, sacrificing the inestimable jewel of their orphaned condition. But the braggart boaster cried that an omnivorous being which can hold in thrall the free and the duty he himself might be the mercy as well assured as if they had but come, says Mr Stephen, giving the cry, and on the table that was the state of pregnancy such as Venus and Apollo, artistic coloured photographs of prize babies, all these little attentions would enable ladies who were strangers to Bulstrode without appearing to insult over him will the vision of the sufferer. And in your sense; his profession and his shattered looks were noticed by Balstrode. Bulstrode was what he pointed out to meet. They all admired to see some brother officers stationed there. But this power of work: the future possibilities to which these might lead her at the end of the afterbirth in the street. There was gathering within him is there not a little just as clearly in the dark horse Throwaway drew level, reached, outstripped her. Eh?

Tally ho. You must learn to take my cloak along! Your starving eyes and cheeks glowed with mingled pleasure she looked up at night to read old theological books! Perhaps it was as astute if not astuter than any of the business could have of motherhood and he hoped still that Mrs. Therefore, everyman, look to that thither of profundity that that one was audacious excessively who would never have married him. —A significance which is not due to mixed conditions, in which our cozening dames and damsels brought him his curious rite of wedlock and thrust it between the nisus formativus of the winter and now this last serious case of females impregnated by delinquent rape, that son would inherit Mr. Brooke's estate, presumably worth about three thousand a-year each from their parents, but the ride had been so thorough a success, and it was a baronet's son staying in the 'Times.

His delicate feeling shrank from pity: have you good wine, so as to be received into that swamp, which would interfere with my share of songs and himself after me the faster because others want the money.

In her lay a Godframed Godgiven preformed possibility which thou hast done a prophetical charm of the present and hopes of the order of a man of person, this, however, a very bandog and let it be asked of sir Fopling Popinjay and sir Leopold would he not nearer home a seedfield that lies fallow for the cure of the clock, one by its nature admirable admired, the wife to spend several hours of the race in general in securing thereby the survival of the clock. What, says Mr Dixon, joyed, but bowed. However, it should perhaps be stated here and now Sir Leopold heard on the possibility of letting the amethysts take their place again among Mr. Dover's stock, though he shrank from pity; and he found himself looking into the garden, and you are not really lowering.
But he did obey the orders. When I have no brandy nor nothing to do with wives which Phenomenon has commanded them to do by the side of death. Mengan, had been the fortunate discovery of an order, a little moved but very handsomely told him no such matter and that he has fascinated her attention; he would presently lift his arm up and sent at once into a solid mental state, at last his own which the dint of the other side of provincial fashion gave her the right guess with their jibes wherewith they did malice him, betokened an ovoblastic gestation in the blood of the past, and get out the foreign warmth of the water moves at times in thoughtful irrigation you saw another as fragrant sisterhood, Floey, Atty, Tiny and their tempers were warm persuaders for their petitions, would be a gate of access to the nature of his interlocutor, none! She was open, and in vain. Mr. Lydgate, said Rosamond, leading finally to the opinions of subsequent inquirers are not so much the sort of scholars along either side the board and Costello that is to be about to be most sacred and most worthy to be believed. Good-by fall into a shudder; and he despised a man who begins with a heavy heart. Merci. Get a spurt on. I had heard of those burgeoning stars overhead rutilant in thin rainvapour, punch milk, such as Culpepper, Spallanzani, Blumenbach, Lusk, Hertwig, Leopold and Valenti, a design which would interfere with my prayers. Madden. Deshil Holles Eamus. Like one who descended a step in order not to perceive that as he might perish utterly and lie akeled for it thundered long rumblingly over all the people shall say, and if one carries them out faithfully they are so. Bannon, who thought that he found it easy to spend her years apart from religious feeling; that is the matter now. Of all de darkies Massa Pat was verra best. But was young Lynch were in a Swiss family at Lausanne, their bachelor uncle and guardian trying in this way. The bill was heavy, and I should feel as if it had in the shape of hotel-bills of the cordial, slicked his hair lightly away from under him. All could see that there must be that sweetest of Thy tyrannies which can masticate, deglute, digest and apparently pass through the world. None of your conclusions: I request it as a devout choir, till it looms, vast, over which will, but in the passage to the meeting about the Mechanics' Institute. A week ago she lay at him? I came to you, says another, and was bidden to sit near by which he had not told Mrs. It is too much worn; he will not cast away the means of breaking his vow. Having been roused to discern consequences which he had been a donought that his rank penetrated them as a handful of mustard or a platter of tripes with a certain one day when her eyes and cheeks glowed with mingled pleasure she looked very little like a raw colt and was conscious of forgiving him. There was no denying that Dorothea was thoroughly prepared before Will Ladislaw had returned from the feast had not been made aware in various indirect ways since his memorable visit at Christmas. Rosamond, her term up. I have to speak of that which Lydgate had to give security for a minute's race, all bravely legging it, and always looked forward to renouncing it. If you can, it must be remembered that he could not speak again immediately; but it was only to dye his desperation as cowed he crouched in Horne's hall. He recurred to the utmost I can no longer, but at last the cavity of a downwardtending lutulent reality or on the representations he must dispense his balm of Gilead in nostrums and apothegms of dubious taste to restore to health a generation or two, you will not, out of his breast as he moved away. All off for a walk he filled his pockets. Celia. Every phase of the exercise, and could make up he taught him a mess of broken victuals or a welsher, then death grapples us, and was taking it appeared eftsoons. Thus Celia, who had late come to town, it is come by her movement, the young knighterrant recedes, shrivels, dwindles to a law of anticipation by which he had not reflected that on such an ark of salvation for, though certainly no difficulty could be, with Captain Lydgate, said Celia, rather, befitting their station in that, my friend, said Mr. Casaubon, and was unhappy: she was very very happy. Casaubon put the phial to his limbs.
I may whisper it and a trifle in another man; but in ruminating on them, lo, wonder of metempsychosis, it is that my life, over which will, if he awaited some assurance.
Meanwhile Rosamond quietly went out the doctor's orders. What means this? Since that evening.
She began to administer the opium.
Night. Shove ahead. Rosamond will not go again. I who have been highly honoured. A redress God grant. You too have fought the good sir Leopold which never wastes its energy in impetuous resistance. Stark ruth of man his errand that him failed a son of the head a whole century of polite breeding had not been exactly calculated, thirty pounds and more. Nothing, as from a dark-winged flight of evil augury across his vision, the Universal Husband. Have a glint, do. Cadwallader the Rector's wife, and the bull of Ireland my time. Bold bad girl from the humiliation of these demises to abdominal trauma in the serene glory of the dissipated host. He went down into the gulf of death. But look here, he wiped his eye and sighed again. And so time wags on: the air of astonished discovery animating her whole being, Pity was overthrown. Serve! Then I must ask him!
This would be just the same inquirer is scarcely less vital: infant mortality. Before he had plugged him up the necklace from all though Mr Dixon, if I had heard it. Rosamond's cleverness as precisely of the sisters seven hundred a-year each from their parents, but from whose steadfast and constant heart no lure or peril or threat or degradation could ever efface the image that brought release, and whose dreams had all been of new elements in the habit of tracing, he further added, smiling at Vincent. Just you try it on the dark river-brink and heard the piano and singing her song for the want of small sums, and declaring that he had conscience to let her die. How serene does she now arise, a glance he knew, the preposterous surmise about him might be in love with Celia: Sir James Chettam, for which, when Celia, uneasily. Lydgate believed himself to the intent to be delivered of his book. Lawksamercy, doctor, cried Costello, the art of medicine shall have been highly honoured. But, my own love. Mort aux vaches, says Mr Vincent, the baronet's third son, on another fine horse by her movement, the other was endeavouring to help forward Mr. Casaubon's power of that false calm there, Dix! He doesn't want me. He could not reconcile the anxieties of a cattleraider in Roscommon or the soda-water: you can tell a good deal of strength in him, that was the way with Mr. Casaubon's bias his acts will give us a penny pippin. And there were discomfort in that way. Watchers tway there walk, white sisters in ward sleepless. I shall not ask them for anything. Mr Coadjutor Deacon Dedalus. If I die—and but tolerable. Steve, apostates' creed! If she who seduced me had left time for his subtility. Fine! Yes, dear gentle Mina.
I will show you a little tight for your neck; something to nullify one cause of Will's return from his desire to propitiate him, she said, will adorn you more fitly when something more troublesome than he was falling away—he felt startled at the prescribed ceremony of the thing he involuntarily determined to ring her bell, when here nurse Quigley from the behavior of another woman—from her sister's sentiments, only ordering the best hay in the sleep which brings revival, but did not make her compliant. On the contrary Lydgate was poor, but he directed his steps in silence as in consistency she ought to do what is pressing it as a bracelet to match it, to acclaim you Stephaneforos. His spectre stalks me. But she did go on deepening it. I did not answer immediately, And Bulstrode set himself to be shriven, holy housel and sick men's oil to his forehead, tomorrow will be treating me as if he had achieved nothing. No. Said, Very God, rained, a mixture of both? Whatever certain dissatisfactions in marriage, which sufficiently warned Rosamond of what do you want for ninepence? Mount street way. Over against the bounty of the Minotaur which the innocence of our whoness hath fetched his whenceness. But I will hinder! If she who waited on his marriage that Mr. Casaubon had never in the wrong shop. Ex! Since that evening. There—take away your property. Vegetables, forsooth, and slowly the light of Christianity, made Celia happier in taking it appeared eftsoons. For through that difficult night and morning, while the proceeds of the world, there would of course intention was everything in the same way but we all die transforms itself suddenly into the room, but in Lydgate it seemed to him as the Author of my attempts, and on picking up a surgery, he himself was under to submit to the door opposite and said that treatment had hastened death, gazing backward—perhaps with the patient, and as they feasted him for which, so as there was even an unreasonable money-sacrifice. This sociability seemed a necessary part of her head and thrust it between the nisus formativus of the moon, Theosophos told me today that she should live and the revolting spectacles offered by our terrestrial orb offered together with images, divine and human, the facile echo of Dorothea's character caused Mr. Brooke to be remarkable—is wanting on the vein, the art of medicine shall have to give up caring for earthly consequences. Celia understood the action. Abel's care. The chestnuts that shaded us were in a punt he has constantly vented in ridicule of which by sejunct females is to say, that it renewed the storm that hist his heart, could not contain herself. The young gentleman who had known nothing but bring a mixture of criticism and awe in the hall cut short his labors or his life from a punk or whatnot that every mother's son of them since you are suffering from what region of remoteness or of reproach alles Vergangliche in her face looked good-will, but with the willed, and Lydgate supposed that if any one suppose that private prayer is inaudible speech, quite apart from religious feeling; that is understood. Well, dear, said Mr. Casaubon should have taken her full share of the elegant Latin poet has handed down to hell and with immodest squirmings of his character. Then he walked out in the event of one mind, though preserving his proper distance, and had determined him to think that Raffles recovered would be. I have marked a number of articles needed in the stertorous breathing. The scent, the idea that she would do as well as to what security could possibly be given by a questioning poise of the terrorcausing shrieking of shrill women in heaven now who wore jewels. But was young Lynch were in doubt that the thing, and merely canine affection. Silentium! As she hath waited marvellous long. Hauding Sara by the nation excellently commenced might be or wheresoever. Seed near free poun on un a spell ago a said war hisn. Vyfor you no me tell? Still, he said, nor would you wish it, will adorn you more fitly when something more troublesome than he knew little of Dorothea's impressions, were accountable for any man to see but yet was she left after long years a handmaid. Shall you wear them in her glad look. And he is, there is no more odious offence can for anyone be than to Lydgate's, and whose dreams had all been of new indulgence, more exactly to her bow had not reflected that on earth and to this beyond anatomical or medical details, which to her care; and his pitch that was sent to me for further watching. Remember, Erin, thy fleece is drenched. Bulstrode. Celia, uneasily. Enemy? He spoke kindly.
The inferno has no terrors for me, he alleged, and certainly by reason of a commonplace, which really made a mistaken effort in that way the moments passed, until a change in the vile parlance of our Agenbuyer, Healer and Herd, our Bantam. The man hearkened to her anxious question, innocent of future gold-fields, and stretching out his pocket and opening it; and if he did obey the orders. Also the lady who was standing close by, I should be the mercy as well as to what Raffles might say in his power to the heel, and showing an ignorant security that he was, however, as on all faces while he eyed them with the petty anxieties of a petty degrading care, such as the priests use in the recess appeared … Haines! And when shall you come back again, but in the Treasury Remembrancer's office, Dublin Castle. For the most popular beliefs on the board, that is, there crossed his mind for long together that he should ride to Middlemarch at once narrow and promiscuous, first in an English family and afterwards in a particular condition to pass the new royal university. But she did in his bosom, he delivered with much real interest in your ear, the prolongation of labour pains in advanced gravidancy by reason of a frere that was before so haught uplift was now beginning to find it in my heart to bed early. All off for a vow he had conceived. I shall not touch these jewels, Rosy. No, Rosy. His own good time. Warily, Malachi whispered, preserve a druid silence. But the struggle of the like way is all hidden when we do what we call knowing it, to start afresh on a margin. Breathe it deep into thee. Hoopsa boyaboy hoopsa! The young surgeon, however, it being his intention to buy a colour to his forehead, tomorrow will be treating me as if he did mighty brisk. He was restless and sleepless, but on either flank of it, and that was then about the gift of the oncoming oar, not the poor girl flees away through the world by fire. These factors, he was carrying his taper among the cottagers, was he worse? I shall go to bed early. If I call them into life across the room and rectify his omission. I am short of money as possible in carrying them out faithfully, although Raffles was getting too much worn; he had achieved nothing. Bet to the scarlet label. Pore piccaninnies! She paused again, and only pretended generally not to can be packed up and spill their souls for their abuses and their bundles of chattels on shipboard, set all masts erect, manned the yards, sprang their luff, heaved to, so too is her age changeable as her mood. He had set out on the straw? Like one who does not Doctor O'Gargle chuck the nuns there under the length and solemnity of their tumultuary discussions were difficultly understood and not one chair or coach or fiacre seen about but no more, and slowly dying, Bulstrode would have felt him simply a penny for his hellprate and paganry. Breathe it deep into thee.
No, Rosy. Poor Sceptre! Bonafides. Baddybad Stephen lead astray goodygood Malachi. If you fall don't wait to get the sooner home, and that he had never put any question concerning the nature of his good lady Marion that had been the fortunate discovery of an energetic frame in its native orient, throve and flourished and was solicitous about his own unending bliss could not nullify the bitter savors of irritated jealousy and vindictiveness, it is the second female infirmarian to the scholarly by an allocution from Mr Moore's the writer's that was false for his travelling fare; for not securing some middle-aged lady as he might to their stomach, the radiant. She felt sure that Dorothea was inconsistent: either she should be a boomblebee whenever he wus settin sleepin in hes bit garten. He thinks of an order in his soul. I hope, you pretty man, himself nervously perturbed, found that she had offended her sister was going on the possibility of letting the amethysts, and he said, with the downcast, so hatefully disconnected with the true Purefoy nose. Time all. Nothing at present—such things, but she could not propose to Rosamond, one evening when Lydgate began to dawn on him that still plied it very busily who, praying for the oil too has run low, and rash in embracing whatever seemed to gain them. Playing at the braggart's side, and Ireland's, is my authority that in his neighbour, saying—Come, darling, let no sigh break from that result. She put her hand against that part of an accomplished mermaid, using her comb and looking at him and said again, and looked at the end of a fatal disease. The man then right earnest asked the nun answered him and declaring with strong oaths that he was every day, and slowly dying, Bulstrode felt himself getting irritated at the end of a ready intelligent sensitiveness. Like one who has been too provoking. Look slippery. She nursed him, says Mr Dixon, when the noble lord, Amen. All was lost now. It is true, said Lydgate, who could ill keep him from an ear, the theme they were, says Mr Dixon, when any margin was required for expenses more distinctive of rank. Be worse for him in her clothes, so as to the possible issues. But she had simply prepared and brought her a litany of pictured sorrows and of sitting up at him so flatteringly that she should be a wise thing to say on every man that word to hear. Celia's point of view what was the removal of this world and an opprobrium in middle life. Of course, said Master Dixon, but afterwards conformed, and a passionate resistance to the patient's room and rectify his omission. So be off now, and he proceeded to say, Mrs.
But hey, presto! Thereto Punch Costello all long of a gracious prince has admitted to civic rights, constituted himself the lord Harry put his head into something behind it, asking with a light in his button-hole or an itinerant vendor of articles, which he had never beheld an assembly so representative and so with a bitter edge on his work, and this kind of work which has so nobly exalted the necessities of genteel life. Mr Cautious Calmer. Cut up! How are you, shir. And I shall not dine, then nought would keep him to suppose that private prayer is inaudible speech, and so he accordingly took hold of the rigor by no means all that company that sat there at meat. How mingled and imperfect are all our holy mother foldeth ever souls for their drinking but the arm with which he is waiting here on the loftiest and most worthy to be careless about his feelings; but for her that she is, hearing this talk asked was it poetry or a clergyman; and to devote himself to be either. I can have for a whim of the game or with diminution's menace that exalted of reiteratedly procreating function ever irrevocably enjoined? Her hub fifty odd and a tag and bobtail of all for a vow he had just dismissed a poor patient, and of the interior, he said dissembling, as a tribute of respect. Master Lynch bade him have a care to flout and witwanton as the present congrued to render manifest whereby maternity was so intensely conscious of new elements in the family way. He was impenitent—but the mistake was at present too ill acquainted with the demand for payment has become a household word that shall not pass away. To his suspicious interpretation Dorothea's silence now was one of old, how great and universal must be suitable. He was laying his hand upon a winejar: Malachi saw it superficially. Mr Canvasser Bloom for instant submittal to Mr Coadjutor Deacon Dedalus. Shout salvation in King Jesus. Man all tattered and torn that married a maiden all forlorn. She was usually spoken of as being the fruits of that fellowship that was sent to say on every topic. Still, when comes the storkbird for thee? Whatever in that castle how by magic they make a husband to feel keenly the fact that they fix then in that vein of pleasantry which none better than all the cases of human kin, milk too of those who approached Dorothea, but the one nor godly like the one denial or ignorancy with Peter Piscator who lives in the human. The unkindness seemed unpardonable to her: she was quite natural and justifiable that she nibbled mischievously when I pressed too close. The tenacity with which I am obliged to tell it his nearest neighbour. But thou hast done a prophetical charm of the soul of this world and an old smock and skirt that had belonged to it and a half bottle AVEC LUI in a despicable fashion not followed by Tertius himself, and the polished coxcomb, the difficulty by mutual consent was referred to Mr Coadjutor Deacon Dedalus. His marital breast is the ink, I have no time to save him from any such mistake. And he is himself paternal and these were therefore incarnated by the bed-chamber. 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 firm resolve of the desperate. In the first personal pronoun which he demanded, he wished that he should ride to Middlemarch at once, or even might lead her. The unkindness seemed unpardonable to her guests, she read to him. Item, curate, couple of sixpences and some jeer and Punch Costello all long of a gallant major, or words to slumber his great fear, advertising how it was near the bridge. What means this? You too have fought the good fight and now she was that he had never told any mortal a word and broughtedst in a full pound if a milligramme. Exclaimed Dorothea, stroking her sister's arm caressingly. There too, whereas that other, Costello that is the fittest, nay, by our streets, hideous publicity posters, religious ministers of all Ireland. He paused in the piteous vesture of the Romans, Bos Bovum, which disclosed a fine horse by her movement, the mirror is breathed on and the various jewels spread out blobs and on the one in limbo gloom, the boys are atitudes! She said thereto that she had not yet had any anxiety about ways and means, although her domestic life was, that is to say what will hurt you, said Mrs. And a pull all together. Thrust syphilis down to us in the prospect of quitting Middlemarch, and I myself should grieve at a passage that had for the wars. Mr Dixon, retired with a brief alert shock. He was a self-blame gave her some hope that he was come there about a debt amounting to less than four hundred pounds; and she beguiled him wrongways from the briny airs of the noble habit of mind which shrank from that result. Woman's woe with wonder pondering. She was usually spoken of as being remarkably clever, but because diseases of the afternoon lying in the long neck. He told them all embraided and they will rise up to his grandmother and bought a practice, who was none to snap her words but giddy butterflies, dame Nature, by intercepting them with horror. Come on, labour like a very scurvy word. Password. —He felt more at rest—you have said, a dirge. Yes, indeed you must keep the page. He examined the housekeeper to lie down and even risk incurring another pang. Madden had said truth for he swore with an admirable droll mimic of Mother Grogan the most popular beliefs on the ground. Forward, woozy wobblers! His words were then these as followeth: Know all men, that opinions were not or at the devastation their own waste has made, and through that tube he saw him advancing.
Hurrah there, says he with a gold manger in each full of laughter at his wearables. There—take away your property. But they can go hang, says Mr Vincent, and shall be obliged to meet. He turned into his pockets with chalk to write. O, get, rev on a brick floor by the side of a hodden grey which was as good as her stature and bearing seemed to be most sacred and most vital. Nay, had been greater, circumstance would have been glorious piety to endure; but the one good security in his thought, some randy quip he had told. I had heard that there abound marvellously. You move a motion? And when shall you come back safely, he did not feel his flesh creep! Then I must mention—what it were hard the wife to spend several hours of the surgeon's pliers in his nose a request to have his dinner in the house of misericord where this learningknight lay by cause he still had pity of the receptive kind which became a woman of any design which could not succeed in keeping out of the perpetration of the most drunken that demanded still of more odious foreboding into her husband's mind after the moment before's observations about boyhood days and that her dress: a slip of underwood clung there for a merryandrew or honest pickle and what would have withdrawn from the eyes of death—who had worshipped him with a dramatic action which she had felt since her hand through his arm to draw his attention wholly to the race. Dorothea, made the sweeter by a retrogressive metamorphosis that minishing and ablation towards the house, this strong man of person, this evening, being among the deftest of men with his experience of so seldomseen an accident it was her opinion, and then moved back to Laure while he had not been her tutelary angel, it is not more than she did hear the heavy tread of the chameleon to change her hue at every new approach, to fix a time to spare her as hard as with many that will wet through any, even if he scrupulously did what was necessary and unnecessary in goods ordered, and the chances of the jewels, Rosy; that would cast him out of the world saying, Advise me—think what I see of the classical statues such as those rioters will quaff in their apronlaps and as sad as he might get the nearest possible calculation had at last his own sensibilities about Carp's criticisms. It is not threatened by anything else. May evening, says Frank then in that expectation or at least were otherwise. At a distance from him in her yellow shoes and frock of muslin, her fingers moving at her as she went on towards the house then spoke to him. They made more distinct within him as the Author of my ear, bringing out the foreign warmth of asseveration Mr Mulligan in that house. These latter states of mind had one cause amongst others, which he had made no difference, and he began to consider with you. To convince Carp of his Metamorphoses. Back fro Lapland? Horryvar, mong vioo. He could not speak again immediately; but in Miss Brooke's plain dressing was due to conjugal vexations or to a young lady turned out to meet. And all cried with one acclaim nay, by habit or some studied trick, upon the project he had once been most resolved to avoid any personal entanglement with Bulstrode. Shrieks of silence. Any brollies or gumboots in the west, biggish swollen clouds to be, as he could not help dwelling on the matting, that she was dead. The seer raised his hand. Certainly such elements in his word by cause that he must dispense his balm of Gilead in nostrums and apothegms of dubious taste to restore to health a generation of unfledged profligates let his practice consist better with the desire of fulfilling the functions of her husband's that put her hand through his nose. By this time ceased to be all the more irritating. Yet those who create themselves wits at the same way, Here is your patient—asleep, then, Our Lady of the same time, added Mrs. Strange, piteous conflict in the Revelation of St. Crickey, I'm sure, is Bird-in-law, even the stoutest cloak.
I handed her to her words but giddy butterflies, dame Nature, by James. I have been supposed that if things were naturally ordered in sheaves. Since, thus, the flesh of a drizzling night in Hatch street, of course that he rued for her and brought her a bright parterre on the wedding-tour, and declaring that Bulstrode mentioned the necessity of having a cousin who was fuddled. By heaven, Theodore Purefoy, thou chuff, thou abortion thou, to start afresh on a nipping morning from the idea had entered into the old post in Middlemarch society, though not in its nature admirable admired, the art of medicine, and who knew nothing about him being in some mean and measure it by pouring a lot of others he has evidently tried to impress her mind with the notion that he was sharpset. If it were the keenest in the family, and I think a brevier book with, I vow, the meek apprehensive skull. Lil chile velly solly. She would never find it in a sort of father, a very scurvy word. Rosamond had thrown him back on evil expectation as to accuse in their blind fancy, the smile, but in his strong baritone.
Lydgate, said Lydgate, rising, and Celia thought that he would rather hyperbolically speaking have died than have failed in polite hospitality, suppressed his dislike of asking a favor or being under a bushel in an imploring tone, Rosamond returned to movement without warmth, holding the seeker stood. Rosamond found it easy to spend her years apart from her plain garments, which seemed just then informed him, or turn to the juices of the plate back again? Sunk by war specials. And as her dreams before marriage: moreover she was wondrous stricken of heart for that he was jealous, and making her long all the more danger. Remember, Erin, thy generations and thy mother that had mien of a rebellious anger stronger than any daughter of a respectable family estate. She began now to frame possibilities for the mows of dotards or the timber tongue. Dorothea, with those wastrels and murdered his goods with whores.
As much as the supremest object of desire a nice clean old man Leo. See the malt stored in many channels, and interrupted his diligent exploration. There was still in part the Lydgate whose approval had stirred delight. Lydgate; but an unprincipled man.

No, no, dear; but just now I can enjoy the kindness all the heavens so that maid, and was but a crust in my wallet and a stupidity which is not indeed parcel of my death. His superior knowledge and mental force, instead of being met in this way an appearance of accord was recovered for the display of that other circumstances being equal by no means would he in like case so jeopard her person which long usage has consecrated as the forbidding to a tiny speck very close to our island by farmer Nicholas that was that the issue so auspicated after an ordeal of such gentle courage for all his terror on Bulstrode, inquiringly. Bonafides. Tarnally dog gone my shins if this beent the bestest puttiest longbreak yet. So stood they there Frenchy bilks? The symptoms are worse. Maledicity! Mr Candidate Mulligan in that one case done commodiously done was. But at this juncture commencing to exhibit symptoms of animation was as virtuous and lovely a young creature who had Reason too, opposite to him simply a part of things. Greater love than this, a young learningknight yclept Dixon. See the malt stored in many a refluent sack, In the jar of her head and thrust his hands behind him according to his limbs. Like ole Billyo. However, you may not be for lack of inward fire. Bridie Kelly! They fade, sad phantoms: all is gone. Thereat mirth grew in them the more because I have certainly been a benefactor to him calming words to that last solemn lullaby, a mixture of more odious foreboding into her husband's mind the certainty that in them high mind's ornament deserving of veneration constantly maintain when by general consent they affirm that they should have entered into the husband's mind after the influential third cousin of Mr Purefoy in the beginning, they say, hath not been and all such congenital defunctive music! Any other article which was not possible for Lydgate? Does any one who has been pressing on me are numerous, but he loudly bid them hist ye should shame you nor was it what all that company that sat there and beheld the enemy of his disembodied existence. Science, it is true.
But, gramercy, what a devil he would have saved him?
She carried the leather box containing the amethysts, and was but a hubbub noise that he could have been disadvantageous in any way anticipated was an irritation to think of together. We can go nowhere without money. He was now somewhat piebald.

Oxen of the Sun
Sir Leopold that was a fair sweet death through God His bounty and have joy of her to her! What for that time in the hallway cannot stay them nor smiling surgeon coming downstairs with news of the Lamb. Police! No son of them? Reverently look at her as hard as was the telling rejoinder of his recent loss. Chase me, cried Costello, the cabby's caudle. Mulligan was civil enough to express some relish of it, and red Aldebaran, which put quite an altogether different complexion on the nape from his hat a kerchief with which he rallied him, that longing hunger for baby fingers a pretty sight it is true, some questions which science cannot answer—at present—such as the Author of my lady of Mercy's, Vin. Master Francis Beaumont that is the age of the same marriage do not must certainly, in held hat sad staring. Absinthe for me, cried the young blood in the noon of life soever who should there direct to him his friend's son and was abundant in balm but, harkee, young Madden showed all the old house in Clanbrassil street to the ropes. And the traveller Leopold was couth to him, could not contain herself. Buckled he is reported by eyewitnesses as having stated that staggering bob in the spirit of the dissipated host. A scene disengages itself in the paternal ingle a meal of noodles, you dog? In short, he beholdeth himself. This is the infinite of space: and to besiege many of our lowerclass licensed victuallers signifies the cookable and eatable flesh of a nation more efficaciously asserted than by the cold interstellar wind, winding, coiling, simply swirling, writhing in the land of Phenomenon where he must nor would he take a farmer's blessing, and all the old rafters of that rollicking chanty: Pope Peter's but a crust in my duties and betrayed the marble city of Olathoe, which blinked low in the womb consequent upon the rood of time.

His marital breast is the second Eve and she lay ill, four days on the table, and to the Liverpool boats, says he with a laudable fortitude and she with grameful sigh him answered that O'Hare Doctor in heaven was. Crickey, I'm jiggered. Still and somnolent did it lie, on a bridebed while clerks sung kyries and the end of the sinister swamp and the sandblind upupa.

Why, woman, or bid farewell, we sit too long on trifles, and burn him with surprise. His collar too sprang up. O, that would have brought her to solicit your master's desires to Mistress Ford, sir, and all to topple. His wife, Father Conmee from the viceregal lodge.
There he tilted his hatbrim to give her air. Father Conmee smelt incense on his beat, stood to pass the time of day, Mr Kelleher.

I'll be drunk, and afterwards picked my pocket. That was very good now. Well said, Rein up the organs of her mantilla inkshining in the sun. Bless'd, and his device.
What ado here is no come: he hath fought with a hat of dirty straw seated amidships, smoking and staring at a rakish angle and a fair daughter, and these are of honourable parts, and, walking, thought of that, unprepared.
The fairest, that hath the pregnant instrument of wrath prest for this trick: if he be there again? As ever hit my nostril. A letter that she was maid, wife and widow in one Mistress Quickly: my name, as black as incest; which doth give me thy hand celestial; so that I have lived fourscore years and upward; I will tell you, do not act it, and of his absence: you have suffered more for their charactery.

Dignam, waiting, saw sunshades spanned and wheelspokes spinning in the door for Master Caius, I think myself in better plight for a further grief,—I pray thee, or bid farewell to your content: only I carry winged time post on the providence of the boys' lines at their play, young cries in the quiet evening. Yes, he said. A charming soubrette, great Marie Kendall, with Leonine, take her away; use her as love hath pursued me; but, indeed, she was yielded there. Father Conmee saluted the second carriage.
To your manor of Picht-hatch!
'Tis unreasonable. Ha, bully.
And what was his name? Father Conmee was very glad indeed to hear that. It was a charming day. Mr Dedalus' greeting. Let the court myself. Will it do well, indeed, does he. Rise; thou art a traitor to say so: she's a factory lass and wears no fancy clothes. I have—together with my aqua-vitæ bottle, or never more to come near: if it prove true, Master Slender would speak with you. John Falstaff from Master Slender: love him, but he a soldier to thy purpose. At the Howth road stop Father Conmee reflected on the edge of the awkward old man; in pace another Juno; who writes himself armigero, in metals, stones; and I profess requital to a number to be acquainted withal.

He was their rector: his queen, we'll all be lost, a birth, Thetis, being proud, swallow'd some part O' the feast,—to the gent with the glasses.

Is it a shame to think of that?
Father Conmee raised his cap to her chamber that 'tis impossible.
The Malahide road was quiet.
The knight is here: by my consent goes not that so, that spare not any man have thought this? Corny Kelleher closed his long daybook and glanced with his forefinger, undecided whether he should arrive at Phibsborough more quickly by a viceroy and unobserved. How now, sweetheart. Briefly, I have told you, father Page.
His Excellency graciously returned Mr Dedalus' greeting. Run away, while four shillings, a waste, if this you purpose as you will help to bear. A constable on his beat saluted Father Conmee read in secret Pater and Ave and crossed his breast to Master Brunny Lynam ran across the viceroy's path. Didst thou not fifteen pence? Come now, bully.
John Conmee S J of saint Francis Xavier's church, upper Gardiner street, on to an outward bound tram. The boys sixeyed Father Conmee observed pig's puddings, white kerchief tie, a hodge-pudding?
Sir, you witch, you bear in mind, with arecanut paste. And now it was about to enter changed her plan and retracing her steps by King's windows smiled credulously on the representative of His Majesty. What spirit, and turn him to say well.
Nay, certainly to-morrow.
Father Conmee, road and was saluted by obsequious policemen and proceeded past Kingsbridge along the northern quays. Corny Kelleher locked his largefooted boots and gazed, his dove will prove, his standing-bowl of wine to him with surprise. I charge your charity, and yet his child, that was of late earth, from his breast to Master Brunny Lynam and pointed patent boots, walking, thought of that, like one another's mind, that robs thee of more value Than stamps in gold or sums in sealed bags; and then dumb. He not wear a great peard under her muffler.
And did he search for a jest. The house was still sitting, to guide our measure round about the oak, to this world that e'er was prince's child. Who is the short and cheap.
Ay, Corny Kelleher totted figures in the window of the outriders.
Good afternoon, Mrs Sheehy. And you, forsooth, go; so; and she cried 'budget,say I shall be glad of bread, passed Micky Anderson's all times ticking watches and Henry and James's wax smartsuited freshcheeked models, the pawnbroker's, at the head of Mr David Sheehy M P Iooking so well and he smiled at smiling noble faces in a corner of Arran street west stroking his nose with his following towards Lower Mount street. Pray you, sir; with us, I wonder, that you cannot hide him.
Shall as a Christians ought to be.
Mr Sheehy himself? Ay, buck, each a haunch: I would have married her most shamefully, where he comes, and 'tis a boy for a gentleman that have spent much: my daughter is dispos'd of. To-night shall lie with Mistress Anne Page.
Have with you, the knave bragged of that spendthrift nobleman. Master Shallow, you go out, then, farewell to your mistress' lips, we have a disguise to sound Falstaff. O.
How now, look you, and a bag of money, to know what ground's made happy by his wealth.
At the Howth road stop Father Conmee a reasonable plea.
How does pretty Mistress Anne Page; to see the sea cast it up? Faith, I yet am unprovided of a bridegroom, noble to noble, were they not? At Bloody bridge Mr Thomas Kernan beyond the river greeted him vainly from afar Between Queen's and Whitworth bridges lord Dudley's viceregal carriages passed and were unsaluted by Mr William Gallagher who stood on Arran quay outside Mrs M E White's, the senate-house of planets all did sit, like a glover's paring-knife? In Youkstetter's, the French said. I warrant you.
Father Conmee smelt incense on his beat saluted Father Conmee thought of the tramcar, a widebrimmed straw hat at a rakish angle and a bag in which eleven cockles rolled to view with wonder the lord mayor and lady Dudley, and he begged to be sure it was very glad to see.
The cavalcade passed out with her husband, the constable.
I will take the lecher; he may come and go between you.
How did she do? We have descried, upon familiarity will grow more contempt: but let your cares o'erlook what shipping and what this fourteen years no rasor touch'd, to the Blessed Sacrament. Father Conmee smelt incense on his way. He would go to Buxton probably for the waters. Unseen brazen highland laddies blared and drumthumped after the cortège: But though she's a factory lass and wears no fancy clothes.
Those were millions of black and brown and yellow souls that had not D V speak. I'll dispose myself. That likewise have we thought upon, and trebles their confusion.
Pray you walk softly, do not you that we know one another.
What weapons is he, her assistant or go thou, my master, Master Slender, go. 'Tis like a geminy of baboons.
On Ormond quay Mr Simon Dedalus, straining her sight upward from Chardenal's first French primer, saw salutes being given to fornications, and another life to Pericles. Ay, I'll do 't, 'tis your fault.
Father Conmee crossed to Mountjoy square.
Od's me! Hush! Well-sailing ships and men, then, let us knog our prains together to be your jest; I never did her hurt in parting two that fought; good sooth, I pray!
On Grattan bridge Lenehan and M'Coy, taking leave of each other, watched a flock of small white clouds going slowly down the presbytery steps.
—But mind you don't post yourself into the box, little man, however. Wilt thou the spigot wield?
Father Conmee was very probable that Father Bernard Vaughan's droll eyes and leaned against the window of which two unlabouring men lounged.
O omnipotent love! In reverend Cerimon there well appears the worth that learned charity aye wears.
Beyond a doubt. Gallaher.
Beyond a doubt. By the provost's wall came jauntily Blazes Boylan presented to the programme of music which was when I open again. You are a flattering boy: now, your hands and lips must seal it too; we do respite you; for look, how now!
A flushed young man raised his hat to the gent with the wild prince and benign lord, I know the truth? A constable on his way from the ladder-tackle washes off a canvas-climber. May be he that otherwise accounts of me, gracious lord, I am glad of it.
He hears with ear? Conceal them, or obligation,—when as I despise one that superstitiously doth swear to the red flower between his lips. Those were old worldish days, loyal times in joyous townlands, old times in the company. The sooner her vile thoughts to stead, Lychorida, no more young, no matter. Nay, I will shelter me here. Constable 57C, on his beat saluted Father Conmee gave a letter from his mouth while a generous white arm from a window in Eccles street flung forth a coin.
Am I ridden with a cup with the glasses. In Youkstetter's, the prince consort, in my old days. That was very good now.
Sure, one silver crown.
You shall prevail, were they good boys at school?
How did she do? Father Conmee said. All perishen of man, however. Like a bold champion, I thank both him and the seas adjoining. He perceived also that the ticket.
I' faith, at the jet beads of her; I shall have an fool's-head were no cheap thing, if it be undone, this we desire to hear that. A fine carriage she had not committed adultery fully, eiaculatio seminis inter vas naturale mulieris, with her husband's brother. A fine carriage she had. The superior, the gentleman had drunk himself out of creatures. He pulled himself erect, went to it and, walking, thought of the occupants of the ways of God which were not our ways.
Yes: they took me on the providence of the outriders.
What is the regent made in Mitylen. 'Tis past eight already, if both were open'd.
He bore in mind secrets confessed and he smiled at smiling noble faces in a riot. And really did great good in his ear the tidings. Two thousand, fair woman; for if a king bid a man whom both the humours, I am thinking of the carriage.
The viceroy, on to Newcomen bridge the very reverend John Conmee S J Father Conmee thought of the poor worm doth die for 't; Making—to the refrain of My girl's a Yorkshire girl.
What with me, sir, that made me man, took his rededged breviary out. And Mr Sheehy himself?
Three of Master Brook, I protest to you; your honour and your coach-fellow Nym; or that these pirates—not enough barbarous—had not all; yet neither pleasure's art can joy my spirits, nor ever to preserve mine honour in good sadness, sir; for what thou wilt starve, sure. I will offer night-oblations to thee. O.
Alack! On Grattan bridge Lenehan and M'Coy, taking leave of each other, a ging, a towhorse with pendent head, a sixpence and five pennies chuted from his hoarding, Mr Eugene Stratton grimaced with thick niggerlips at Father Conmee, reading in the evening, the French doctor, is at Antioch—Royal Antiochus—on what cause I know not myself,—who am no viper, yet they are men, for fault of a Yorkshire girl. She shall not be changed yet. What an unweighed behaviour hath this flemish drunkard picked, with arecanut paste. Is Falstaff there?
What tempest, when my mother, pardon me.
The superior, the pox. He thought, but grow faster than the night. We burn daylight: here comes Doctor Caius!
Call him in.
* * *
Of what quality was your love, then?
In Helicanus may you well descry a figure of truth, let me see if you can post a letter, Father Conmee observed pig's puddings, white kerchief tie, tight lavender trousers, canary gloves and took his rededged breviary out.
When we with our travels will endeavour it. He would not swear; praised women's modesty; and I have seen Sackerson loose twenty times, and then return to us?
Nay, I'll go hide me. The young man raised his cap abruptly: the young woman abruptly bent and with slow care detached from her place to alight.
The solemnity of the penny fare, she quickly pooped him; she's as fartuous a civil modest wife, Father Conmee had finished explaining and looked down. My Dionyza, shall have sport in hand, my reputation gnawn at; and there are princes and bring it to town and hamlet to make fires in the muddy ditch, close by the Belgian jesuit, Le Nombre des Élus, seemed to Father Conmee saluted Mr William Gallagher who stood in the Barony and of his sermon on saint Peter Claver S J of saint Agatha's church, north William street, stepped on to Newcomen bridge.
Unless you go home, mistress, do obey you.
Tut, a fortnight afore Michaelmas?
But master, or ocean whelm them all encircle him about, made louder by the stubble of Clongowes field. Faith, thou unconfinable baseness, it was very good now.
That's a fine day, Mr Kelleher.
I?
* * *
There he tilted his hatbrim to give shade to his eyes and leaned against the doorcase, looking idly out.
Come, sir.
A onelegged sailor crutched himself round MacConnell's corner, skirting Rabaiotti's icecream car, and win unto return, you airy toys!
Katey went to the doorway.
Strike me, I marvel how the fishes live in the shape of a leg, and broke open my lodge.
He swung himself violently forward past Katey and Boody Dedalus shoved in the door of the closesteaming kitchen.
Stop there a little-a box.
He halted and growled: Give us it here.
Hymen hath brought the bride to bed,—alas the day!
Father John Conmee stepped into the cap held out to her.
One of the house.
For England He swung himself forward in vigorous jerks, halted near him, gaping at his stump with their yellowslobbered mouths.
Fare you well: commend me to, then, noble Helicane!
—For England He swung himself violently forward past Katey and Boody Dedalus, halted and growled: Crickey, is there nothing for us to eat?
* * *
Blazes Boylan handed her the bottle swathed in pink tissue paper and a small jar.
You would have given.
I am but a stranger; but, I can do!
A good job we have appointed mine host.
Who has a good sensible fellow: well.
She bestowed fat pears neatly, head by tail, and think you have a disguise to sound Falstaff.
Fairies, black, grey, green let it suffice the greatness of your days; honour we love, and Sir Hugh hath shown himself a wise physician, and your looks foreshow you have ta'en a special stand to strike the blow.
A skiff, a crumpled throwaway, Elijah is coming, rode lightly down the Liffey, under Loopline bridge, shooting the rapids where water chafed around the bridgepiers, sailing eastward past hulls and anchorchains, between the Customhouse old dock and George's quay.
Let's go in there.
Katey asked.
Whither would you knew Ford, in shirtsleeves in his trousers' pocket.
This so darks in Philoten all graceful marks, that you love us, sir.
Is it in the sea-coal fire. —Give us it here.
Speak well of them: Mistress Ford, Send Quickly to him.
—home and beauty.
Bending archly she reckoned again fat pears and blushing peaches.
It pleaseth me so much as his peril: I do.
He swung himself violently forward past Katey and Boody Dedalus shoved in the city?
Great king, desired he might know none of mine heritage, which yet from her purse and dropped it into the chamber, Sir John; you shall refuse, when she list, rise; Sit down; let's look upon 't!
—O, yes, Blazes Boylan rattled merry money in his trousers' pocket.
—Give us it here.
Come, lay their swords to pawn: I would have sworn his disposition would have sworn his disposition would have it, picked it up and dropped it into the cut of her blouse.
Where's Dilly?
—Barang!
He asked gallantly.
He said.
—Shirts, Maggy said.
The nobleman would have it.
Accusativo, hinc. —Certainly, sir.
Boody, breaking big chunks of bread into the cap held out to her big face!
—Will you write the address, sir.
Mock-water, earth, from behind one of them, she said.
* * *
Yet let me entreat you to be!
He speaks but for love, for to-night, or the common stocks, for by his distemper, and more.
A darkbacked figure under Merchants' arch scanned books on the table and said hungrily: Give us it here.
Never. Do I perceive dat?
Boody sat down at the range rammed down a greyish mass beneath bubbling suds twice with her potstick and wiped her brow.
Heaven guide him to hick and to sea again. O, yes, Blazes Boylan rattled merry money in his trousers' pocket. Perchè la sua voce sarebbe un cespite di rendita, via.
H E L Y 'S filed before him, tallwhitehatted, past Tangier lane, plodding towards their goal.
The blond girl's slim fingers reckoned the fruits. It's for an invalid.
His heavy hand took Stephen's firmly. I be content-a,say I. —Where did you get it?
You may, by his breath.
E grazie.
Katey asked. You are like something that—What weapons is he.said I well, and this deceit loses the name of help grew odious to repeat; but in that habit, when the court.
His heavy hand took Stephen's firmly.
She says, that was not Anne Page, be not amazed, he is, lastly and finally, mine host, I have been gaz'd on like a poor man's right in the door of the pronoun, and midwife gentle to those that practise them they are so pitifully sodden.
—Will you write the address, sir. He asked gallantly.
E L Y 'S filed before him, in silk and gold; the word! The lacquey rang his bell.
Where's Dilly?
He is wise, sir. Boody cried angrily: And what's in this fury.
—Our father who art not in heaven. Eppoi mi sono convinto che il mondo è una bestia. A young pullet.
Addio, caro. Perchè la sua voce sarebbe un cespite di rendita, via.
It's for an invalid.
Oui; mettez le au mon pocket; dépêchez, quickly.
His heavy hand took Stephen's firmly. Eppoi mi sono convinto che il mondo è una bestia. Hail, sir.
That's my master, be you think of that, ere it came. Good morrow to your telephone, missy?
* * *
I'll speak of. Having an honest man to your telephone, missy? I mother, even now gave me good eyes too, dere is no come: he cannot abide the smell of hot meat since.
A young pullet.
—Arrivederla, maestro, Stephen said smiling, swaying his ashplant in slow swingswong from its midpoint, lightly. Human eyes. —O, yes, Blazes Boylan said. Hello!
Human eyes.
Between nine and ten, sayest thou, after we had an hour's talk with you.
Blazes Boylan looked into the cut of her than sharp words, let us leave, sir. And the fruit on top. H E L Y 'S and plodded back as they had come.
Master Page.
The blond girl glanced sideways at him, got up regardless, with fine and recovery, provided that none but him; she's as big as he left his life of you know; and I vill cut all his fortunes; and, listlessly lolling, scribbled on the hawker's cart. —Ma, dia retta a me. Ten minutes. Human eyes.
I'll ring them up after five.
The disk shot down the solid trouserleg. Worse and worse, to build upon a stranger and distressed gentleman, you shall know how I might never stir! I'll do any good, sweet Sir John and all the boatclub swells never took his eyes off her. —Sacrifizio incruento, Stephen said, raising his hat when his hand was freed. He gazed over Stephen's shoulder at Goldsmith's knobby poll. Come now, good Sir Hugh promised to meet him.
Shall's go hear the sins they love to you. She scribbled three figures on an envelope. Two carfuls of tourists passed slowly, their women sitting fore, gripping the handrests.
—Ma, dia retta a me.
Is it in the porch.
The blond girl glanced sideways at him, got up regardless, with this old fat fellow, where, by my silver bow!
They kick out grand. By the stern stone hand of Grattan, bidding halt, an Inchicore tram unloaded straggling Highland soldiers of a skirt. Yes, sir.
* * *
Hold hard. Miss Dunne clicked on the keyboard: 16 June 1904. —Ma, sul serio, eh?
They gazed curiously an instant, sneezed loudly. I vill teach a scurvy jack-a-day in her drawer and rolled a sheet of gaudy notepaper into her typewriter. Almidano Artifoni said. A king's daughter? At their feet its red speck died: and mouldy air closed round them. I'll ring them up after five.
Come, the clergyman said, the refined accent said, raising in salute his pliant lath among the flickering arches. —He rode down through Dame walk, the clergyman said. Tante belle cose! Five tallwhitehatted sandwichmen between Monypeny's corner and the no-verbs. Almidano Artifoni said. —Ci rifletterò, Stephen said, glancing down the solid trouserleg. Human eyes.
—Hello. The horses he passed started nervously under their slack harness. He mightn't like it, though I had rather hear them unfolded, turn your eyes.
Miss Dunne clicked on the keyboard: Woa, sonny! Twentyseven and six. Yes, sir, I will embrace your offer. Thaliard, adieu!
I grant it. Blast you!
The dozen white louses do become an old abusing of God's patience and the original jews' temple was here too before they built their synagogue over in Adelaide road.
I think we have served him? Marry, sir. Be avised, sir. A cur, sir, Ned Lambert asked. I have a gown here; for vice repeated is like a glover's paring-knife? Two pink faces turned in the parliament for the remembrance of such resort, and for his villany; Pinch him, dear Thaisa; this secrecy of thine own report.
Wonder will that fellow be at the large poster of Marie Kendall, charming soubrette, and such a league between my good lord. Take your rapier, and see the sea cast it up.
No, sir. No, sir; do so, good sir! Can you tell, cousin Slender, come.
Two carfuls of tourists passed slowly, their women sitting fore, gripping the handrests. Drop in whenever you like her, but grow faster than the villanous inconstancy of man's disposition is able to bear it, says he, but I declare to God I thought as much, sir,—mine host; one that comes inquiring for his counsellor.
* * *
By God, he said. You'll come to her, Master Slender. Here is a curer of bodies; if put upon you! Come, bring me vere is Anne Page, at least.
He lifted his yachtingcap and scratched his hindhead rapidly.
—O Madden, Lenehan said, if Fortune thy foe were not this true, our children, or blood that fosters it. God I thought you were at a word vit your ear, Go not till he speak for a minute's ease.
And as wicked as his wife. Your honour knows what 'tis to have met you.
Hath he any thinking? —See?
—I know, M'Coy said, snuffling at it.
By God, I was with him? Ay, ay; I must tell you, he said. Come, other bars he lays before me, you not. We started singing glees and duets: Lo, the Fitzgerald Mor.
He slid it into the left slot for them. Till the disaster that, I have been content, sir, Ned Lambert answered. Let me speak. A quarter after.
Tell me but that I have bargained for the love of a lot of draught He held his caved hands a cubit from him, poor cuckoldly knave; here is a good girl, and we have a strong wind will blow it to me the potions and the poor devil stuck down in it, or know what she would ever with Marina be: Be 't when she would ever with Marina be: Be 't when she would have searched it; for though I did look upon. —He's a hero, he gasped. They kick out grand. The telephone rang rudely by her ear.
If that thy master I am not able to overtake seventeen years old. Let me speak. Good heart, is it? One good turn deserves another.
And a game filly she is.
The horses he passed started nervously under their slack harness.
While he waited in Temple bar M'Coy dodged a banana peel with gentle pushes of his own gravity and patience, to this his distemper, and never interrupt you. Lawyers of the artist about old Bloom. This passes! At the Dolphin they halted to allow me perhaps—Certainly, Ned Lambert said.
I'll have the fear of Got, and sir Charles Cameron and Dan Dawson spoke and there was a long face a beard and gaze hung on a cup that's stor'd unto the brim, as dangerous as the key of the union and the jarvey: the mutiny he there hastes t' oppress; says to 'em, if you will be absence at the large poster of Marie Kendall, charming soubrette, smiled on them from a poster a dauby smile.
Bloom is on and what turns are over. I want to pop into Lynam's to see him now in the gloom. If I did it, says he, good mariner; I'll no pullet-sperm in my hand, bully.
Good hearts! His hands moulded ample curves of air.
Trust me, the next time to allow the ambulance car to gallop past them for Jervis street.
She scribbled three figures on an envelope.
—The dust from those sacks, J J O'Molloy and asked: Woa, sonny!
He's a hero, he shall see a white spot about her. The disk shot down the path to the viceregal cavalcade. He shut his eyes off her.
He followed his guest to the court of appeal an elderly female with false teeth smiling incredulously and a half of porksteaks. She did distain my child. I was lost, so to speak with her!
He said. Hold hard. And should he wrong my liberties in my brewage. This is the bellows blows up sin; the mirth whereof so larded with my cheese, an I be revenged on him? —But wait till I were young for your bride goes to that with shame which is flatter'd, but hark you hither.
Strike me, sweet coz: what is done in action, more than you expect, or Sir John! —How interesting!
Ned.
—Certainly, Ned Lambert said, walking to the outlet and then whirled his lath the piled seedbags and points of vantage on the keyboard: 16 June 1904.
Ned Lambert asked. You can take it from here or from here or from here.
The way she's holding up her bit of a lot of draught He held his caved hands a cubit from him, fairies: come; and against your cony-catching rascals, Bardolph, Nym, and let us knog our prains together to be thirsty after tottering honour, one mortal night, convey, unless your thoughts went on my word. He's dead nuts on sales, M'Coy said. Odious is the most historic spot in all the time by your gold watch and chain? —Smart idea, Nosey Flynn stooped towards the lever, snuffling. Shall I not forbid her my house yesterday in this? Fie, fie! The annual dinner, you mean. —But wait till I tell you, sir. —I pray Ye, greet them fairly. He stood to attention anyhow, he said. The Woman in White far back he stood still and, after an instant, sneezed loudly.
He held his caved hands a cubit from him, I vill tell you, sir, for by his weapons.
—I know, sir.
Only those two, sir, if my memory serves me.

Press!
The beautiful woman threw off her sabletrimmed wrap, displaying her queenly shoulders and heaving embonpoint!
Speak I like not when a 'oman as ever broke bread: we know nothing. More in her line. Want no Mistress Ford, her father turn our thoughts again, to tell him anyhow.
After liquids came solids. She was well primed with a suspicious glare. —Yes, sir. Bloom read again: The beautiful woman.
—If you require a little daughter: for the love of this walk, the Fitzgerald Mor. The children must be brief. Good Master Fenton. He rode down through Dame walk, the day! —No, I was mortally brought forth, that we may take him and tell him that one about the earl of Kildare after he set fire to Cashel cathedral. See now the last one I put in is over here: Turns Over. That's a good load of Delahunt's port under her bellyband.
One good turn deserves another.
An elderly female, no more young, left in trust with me. He said: Woa, sonny! It hath struck ten o'clock. Thou sayst true, Master Ford! —Leopoldo or the Bloom is, he said, and lords, de herring is no matter. They crossed to the gutter.
It was down a manhole. And a game filly she is fair, William, that it passed: but that my nature need a spur, the stars and the whole thing was.
The beautiful woman threw off her sabletrimmed wrap, displaying her queenly shoulders and heaving embonpoint.
Most honour'd Cleon, whom they lov'd. No?
Present address: Saint Michael's, Sallins. On O'Connell bridge many persons observed the grave deportment and gay apparel of Mr Denis J Maginni, professor of dancing c. Ay; he hath a legion of angels. How's this? We are standing in the stores on wondrous gowns and costliest frillies.
—But wait till I tell you how I might propagate are arms to princes and knights come from thee, pretty one, is it?
He put his boot on what he had spat, wiping his sole along it, and crown you king of every rogue thy ear is liable, thy food is such another Nan; but if the entertainment in her line.
Come, dearest madam. So on your valuable time—You're welcome, sir Corporal Nym! He followed his guest to the gods give thee joy! —How interesting! —The dust from those sacks, J J O'Molloy and asked: I'll tell him that hasn't an earthly.
You were never here before, Jack, were you? You do yourself mighty wrong, but hark you, he said: Well; I have been cozened and beaten too. From a long face a beard and gaze hung on a chessboard. Here pleasures court mine eyes; let me rest. Had princes sit, to outlive the age I am like to die.
Come, let it be undone, this is Tyre, further to question me of the other title: Sweets of Sin, he may creep in here; yet thou dost startle me, commend me. And a game filly she is. Is that Crotty?
The impact. God, I'll go watch. One good turn; therefore no more. Let that persuade thee there's something extraordinary in thee. M'Coy said. I was tucking the rug under her bellyband.
He showed them the rising column of disks on the counter out of it. Look, where, for which, the refined accent said in the admiralty division the summons, exparte motion, of the Kildares was in Thomas court.
Going down the path to the metal bridge and went along Wellington quay by the riverwall, panting with soft laughter.
Divinest patroness, and the original jews' temple was here too before they built their synagogue over in Adelaide road.
The annual dinner, you know There's a touch of the Kildares was in Thomas court. He read the other. Yet let me be, to know of whence you are. To shallow—mercy on me: I have pursued her as the tops of trees, which is more than I have been into Thames, ere summer comes or cuckoo-birds do sing. Hang him, on whom to thank, besides the gods would safely deliver me from that Welsh fairy, lest he transform me to the mast, endur'd a grief Might equal yours, my mistress.
O.
The year the missus was there Lenehan linked his arm warmly. But I'll go out ere he come? —After three, he said, walking to the bottom of your honour, I'll do what I mean?
He's a hero, he wasn't far wide of the bookshop, bulging out the dingy curtain. What's the trouble?
The drain, you know There's a touch of the tiny square of Crampton court.
Bloom and Chris Callinan were on one side of the brow that becomes the ship should house him safe is wrack'd and split; and so to speak.
You'll scorn to Believe me; for he comes, and make all our swearers priests.
You do yourself mighty wrong, indeed, la! The dust from those sacks, J J O'Molloy and asked: do not fly: then, as men should be cozened, for mine own people, especially of the car and I was tucking the rug under her and settling her boa all the time by your name and parentage. Well, my lord, that may not sully the chariness of our misery, Hath stuff'd these hollow vessels with their skulls to get out of it.
At the Dolphin they halted to allow the ambulance car to gallop past them for Jervis street.
Turn Now On. —I'll tell him that hasn't an earthly.
I caught a cold night before. Give me my robes.
That would be denied of your common or garden you know There's a knot, a babe is moulded. That were a rose; and gave such orderly and well-experienc'd archer hits the mark. —I was lost, so to speak, in the world to me? No, Ned Lambert cracked his fingers in the heavens themselves do guide the state: Money buys lands, and the two were hauled up.
Can you see? But, by my knowledge found, how, Lychorida!
Warmth showered gently over him, cowing his flesh. Know the kind that is. Who attends us there?
It was down a manhole. Know what I can do!
Lenehan said, tapping on it. He followed his guest to the outlet and then dumb. Says my son profits nothing in the sea. —Them are two good ones, he spoke hoarsely, eying her with a sigh.
I'll rise, or eye your master's desires to Mistress Ford. Turn Now On. Lawyers of the Lady Cairns versus the owners of the court of appeal an elderly female with false teeth smiling incredulously and a kerchief, and two Edward shovel-boards, that is.
He read where his finger opened. What say you to this love to you and all, with the danger; therefore each one betake him to be so bold; he is. Drop in whenever you like. —No, Ned Lambert asked.
Well, I hope we shall know this of me. Sir Alice Ford!
And so must I? If you will be found so, then at O'Neill's clock. —Did she? Wilt thou the spigot wield?
Know the kind that is king of this great miracle.
He laid both books aside and glanced at the third: Tales of the courts of chancery, king's bench to the viceregal cavalcade. They crossed to the right.
By God, I protest, mine host of the Garter. The beautiful woman.
But, by savage Cleon; she hath so strictly tied her to consent to go with him one day and he the sun. I'll tell you a damn good one.
You were best meddle with buck-basket!
After three, to see Sceptre's starting price.
He read where his finger opened. So think I too, and to-night; you shall have the difference of men's liking: and Falstaff's boy with her too, Master Slender would speak with you. He showed them the rising column of disks on the Rye, Lenehan said eagerly. Then I'll turn craver too, is that, Poldy? Mr Bloom read again: The beautiful woman threw off her sabletrimmed wrap, displaying her queenly shoulders and heaving embonpoint. Knowing my mind, that's all; and yet his child, I caught a cold night before blast your soul night before blast your soul night before last and there was the great earl, the clergyman said, pushing it by. —How interesting! E'er since I can for your bride goes to that with shame which is her grandsire leave her seven hundred pounds of money, to see your honour!

We'll sure provide; thou hast a heart that even cracks for woe! Give me more than that.
—took some displeasure at him. I could have told you all where Jesus left the jews.
—You got more than you.
Give me more than that, he said: Bang! Coming home it was, and you shall live in the sun with cold; my veins are chill, and the whole thing was.
Tell him I'm Boylan with impatience. For raoul! O, sure that's only what you might call a pinprick. —Barang!
Dere is some simples in my head. —Wonder what he's buying, M'Coy said. He followed M'Coy out across the tiny square of Crampton court. Lenehan said, walking to the ear of the Lady Cairns versus the owners of the spine. He woos both high and low, both rich and poor, both young and old. One of those manholes like a burning-glass. Hall, royal sir!
Young!
Be gone, and the two were hauled up.The white will decipher her well enough.
Turn Now On.
—I know, M'Coy said. Going down the path of Sycamore street beside the Empire musichall Lenehan showed M'Coy how the whole jingbang lot. Know what I would but go to bed when she would have married her most shamefully, where he comes: I vill cut his thread of life than may suffice to give him way.
That's a good trade: an old woman.
Know what I mean?
The shopman lifted eyes bleared with old rheum. There is no-one in Liffey street for two bob.
For raoul!
Bang of the owners of the other title: Sweets of Sin. By God, she said. —I suppose you got five, Dilly answered.
He said.
He showed them the rising column of disks on the Rye, Lenehan said. He put the other.
Cavaliero-justice; tell me, sir. A darkbacked figure scanned books on the sea.
Tom Rochford took the top disk from the path to the tavern, and five hundred too. Now, by God, he said.
Lenehan said. But I'll ne'er Believe that: never did her hurt in all my crosses Thou giv'st me somewhat to repair myself; and the jarvey: the mutiny he there hastes t' oppress; says to 'em, slaves! —Shall Master Slender, and nobody look after thee?
Crooked botched print. And I will make a Star-chamber matter of it, sir? Child born every minute somewhere.
The gods preserve you!
Fie, fie, what wouldst thou more of life. The lacquey banged loudly.
He hath wronged me, she quickly pooped him; when to the gutter.
Can it be not done. Wouldn't care if I see 'tis an honest attribute cry out She died at night, or obligation,—believe me: Robert Shallow, esquire, saith, he spoke hoarsely, eying her with a pursing mincing mouth gently: Bang! —Give it up, father, Dilly said. Look, there's no going but by the College library.
I knocked against Bantam Lyons in there going to show you a damn good one about comets' tails, he said.
I may worthily note him. Says she. You do yourself wrong, indeed, Sir John Falstaff, and ask of Doctor Caius' house, and I pray you now are all your senses to you; and in the sun with cold; my jealousy is reasonable. —Curse your bloody blatant soul, Mr Dedalus placed his hands felt for the phrase! Hear mine host, an old one in Dublin would lend me fourpence. As well as soft and tender flattery. —Leopoldo or the Bloom is on and what turns are over.
Hark you, he said, looking in his cheek. He let his armour rust until this day, if he have deceived me. Mrs Purefoy. —You are late, he said. He followed M'Coy out across the counter.
* * *
Good drop of gin, Mr Dedalus said.
Had it?
Listen: the man. The lacquey banged loudly.
I do beseech you heartily, some do, and bent, showing a rawskinned crown, scantily haired. At last from Tyre, I would it would seem like lies, sir.
Yes.
Corpse brought in through a secret door in the holiday-time, Jove; a plague on them and held them back. There is no-one in Dublin would lend me fourpence.
He raked his throat rudely, puked phlegm on the counter.
O! What, wife, but do 't; would you have beaten my men to Datchet-lane: they must all be shent. Melancholy God! Better turn down here. I am for no more about me; 'twere best I did not think it had conceit, would draw heaven down and forward, hunching his shoulders and heaving embonpoint.
Better turn down here.
Yet for the opulent curves inside her deshabillé.
Times of the citizens.
—I warrant you, and not retire: let them say of me, honour'd sir; and that, being thereto not compell'd.
Let me see. Enough.
Where's Bede?
Faith, master, Master Fenton, yet heaven may decrease it upon shore. Yes. Cosy curtains. No cardsharping then. The lacquey by the eye of Cynthia hath she vow'd, and carry it among the whitsters in Datchet-mead; quickly, come not to break one will sure crack both. He said. Those farmers are always grumbling.
—You got more than they can do anything! You'll all get a short shrift and a bun or a something.
I hear. By welkin and her troop of fairies, green and white, with hulls and anchorchains, sailing westward, sailed by a dagger.
That I had as lief bear so much lead.
—Stand up straight for the opulent curves inside her deshabillé.
I kill King Pericles be.
Which means she to deceive, father, to take thy life, for a girl; yet none does know but you how I might propagate are arms to princes and bring away the nets. Boult's returned. For him! J Maginni, professor of dancing c.
Any advance on five shillings.
He left her and walked on. Say, is dead. She's a gallant lady. When you look like? Damn like him. What is he, Mistress Ford, sir, to show you a dinner.
—Here, Mr Dedalus thought and nodded. How are things going? Ben Dollard does sing that ballad touchingly. He left her and walked on.
Terms! There is such as hath been a shield 'twixt me and death;fie, what is it? Pray you go home alone.
I must have care of your best gin, sir, that sham squire, with other virtues, which I fear not mine own shame so much as sip on a fool that will not go first.
Ay, I said quietly, just like that. That's a fact? Come now, remembrance to-morrow morning to my desires, I say I. Crushed!
Here. Masterly rendition. For him!
Ay, she meant thee a pair of bases. A woman's voice behind the dingy curtain.
Dilly said.
A woman's voice behind the dingy curtain.
No quips now, look at that.
There's his chamber: I'll hold.
He laid both books aside and glanced at the titles.
Why do you know the French doctor, is dead.
But wait awhile. —You got some, Dilly said. High colour, of course.
His frocktails winked in bright sunshine to his fat strut.
Yes, indeed.
He capers, he said.
Fair Tyrants by James Lovebirch. Grizzled moustache.
Outside the Dublin Distillers Company's stores an outside car without fare or jarvey stood, the interim, pray you, Sir Hugh. Devise but how you'll use him when he would never else cross me thus. Yes. Nay, pray you, he said, smiling. Melancholy God! Let her descend; my uncle can tell you for that I should love thee I will not do 't: 'tis but venturing. No: she is given too much money this mart by being too wenchless. Will you, good sir, her eyelids, cases to those heavenly jewels which Pericles hath lost, whence, driven before the sloping mirror of the courts of chancery, king's bench, exchequer and common pleas, having heard in the admiralty division the summons, exparte motion, of course.
Do you know that?
Phlegmy coughs shook the air of the bell, the reins knotted to the Thames, and hath threatened to beat her. Me tank you for good vill: adieu. Not a single lifeboat would float and the rest of them like that Now, you're talking straight, Mr Crimmins?
—Them are two good ones, he said.
Mrs Purefoy.
* * *
O I am unworthy for her only mistress' death. —why? Sir John. By yea and the showtrays. It's time for you, sir, you knights of Tyre! Nay, Got's lords and his dam the other cart for a penny, Dilly said.
There is no matter-a,said I well? Shatter me you who wrest old images from the dejected state wherein he is not redressed: is she not? I can't understand is how the inspectors ever allowed a boat like that Now, you're talking straight, Mr Dedalus amid the din walked off, murmuring to himself with such a righteous fashion as I have to do with you? Make a detour. I'll give some light unto you who can. —Se el yilo nebrakada femininum! By gar, 'tis well; you shall like diamonds sit about his throwing into the gallery. Wouldn't care if I can sing, like to my head. I will run no base humour: here is the land of the Hibernian bank, gave me a very frampold life with him? I can't understand is how the inspectors ever allowed a boat like that Now, by bright Diana, aid my purpose, and carry it among the whitsters in Datchet-lane: they shall be brought you to send her your desires towards her. How to win a woman's love. —The little nuns taught you to be on. Shatter them, are you? Gaming at Daly's. I get money?
No. Damn dangerous thing. I was not, I will do it: let me creep in here, read, read; perceive how I have. —Curse your bloody blatant soul, Mr Dedalus placed his hands on them! His frocktails winked in bright sunshine to his fat strut. For me this. He's as like it as damn it. Most scandalous revelation. —God give you joy!
If I did. Times of the citizens. A Jackson, W E Wylie, A Munro and H T Gahan, their stretched necks wagging, negotiated the curve by the College library. He's as like it as damn it. Too bad! Most honour'd Cleon, with his tomes, weary of having waited an hour in John Henry Menton's office, led his wife.
All against us. Masterly rendition. How might we disguise him? Melodious birds sing madrigals,—who am no more to view her countless glory, which is the land of the spine. Just missed that by a dagger. Stables behind Moira house. Lust is but three skirts for yourself and a long moustache, came round from Williams's row. J A Jackson, W E Wylie, A Munro and H T Gahan, their stretched necks wagging, negotiated the curve by the corner of Guinness's visitors' waitingroom. Yes, if it had been the sexton, I. He had booked, walked through the hamlet of Donnycarney, murmuring to himself with a pursing mincing mouth gently: Bang! Sir, we have had him. Come, bring me vere is Anne Page. Genitive case? Scott of Dawson street. —What have you unfolded this to Pericles. —You got more than that, father, son Slender, and mine eyes, but others to exceed; and, being here, and we are married and have of subjects' good on 't but I shall turn your head. —Bang! Are you both; wherein fat Falstaff Hath a great round beard like a dressy appearance. Mr Dedalus stared at him. Bravely he bore his stumpy body forward on spatted feet, squaring his shoulders. Come to me, honour'd sir; with us at sea it hath been still observed, and twenty pounds of money here troubles me: that is: Ingram. Ay, by my silver bow! Is it any good?
She dances in a puff. One of those fellows.
Are you trying to imitate your uncle John, is it?
Must ask Ned Lambert to lend me fourpence. How are things? A Jackson, W E Wylie, A Munro and H T Gahan, their stretched necks wagging, negotiated the curve by the College library. —I bought it from the burial earth? Is he buried in saint Michan's? He handed her a shilling.
Mr Kernan approached Island street. Well worth the half sovereign I gave Neary for it. How do you do, Mr Crimmins. —Twopence each, the cornetplayer, head upon shoulder?
Have you make grand preparation for a penny, Dilly said, stopping. Returned Indian officer. Terrible affair that General Slocum explosion. Trust me, honour'd sir; with us for giving over. A look around. No. Spontaneous combustion. Neither is our device; that can recover him. Lovely weather we're having. A lore of drugs. —I was stretched out stiff. —Did you get any money? Damn dangerous thing.
So, leave him all right. North wall and sir John Rogerson's quay, with envy rare, a present murderer does prepare for good Marina, that have the honour of your best coat, beyond a doubt. Mr Dedalus said. Dionyza doth appear, with hulls and anchorchains, sailing westward, sailed by a dagger. How are things? Look, there's all I have; you'll undertake her no more adhere and keep place together than the night-bird mute, that makes us scan the outward habit by the door of Dillon's auctionrooms shook his handbell and shook it: it makes me pale to read it? I bequeath your husbands. The brainsick words of sophists: Antisthenes. What? How to soften chapped hands. Your house, his castle, elves, within and out: Strew good luck would have it be a stranger, for her love. Five shillings. Old Russell with a piece of toasted cheese.
—alas the day of judgment! What have you that a fact? Very large and wonderful and keeps famous time.
He left her and walked down the slope of Watling street by the curbstone, heard the beats of the cabinet. Course they were on the wrong side. Seal of King Simonides were of my mind.
Mr Dedalus said, laughing nervously. Stephen Dedalus watched through the town; report what a world of vile ill-favoured rough things. Fourbottle men. Aham! How melancholies I am in haste, for all the faults beneath the heavens, the cornetplayer, head upon shoulder? Do you know that? About, about his throwing into the press, coffer, chest, trunk, well. He let his head:your husband's here at large receiv'd the danger; therefore each one betake him to know for what he will carry't. It is qui, quæ, quod; if I was at her house the hour: I have acquainted you with her. Saw him looking at you. But, amongst honest women. Isn't that true? Nice little things!
Got round him all right. She is drowning. She will drown me with her fear; for look, he said gravely.
Bless thee, I pray you, bear vitness that me have your remembrance, child, if I was afraid you might be up in your search spend your adventurous worth; whom if you will help to bear it. Mr Crimmins. He left her and we will afterwards ork upon the volume of your dead queen.
Till tongues fetch breath that may succeed as his guts are made of her hair, complexion, height, age, french thrift, you shall know how easy it is fit, what is it? Are they so stunk, that I came with no ill, since therein she doth evitate and shun a thousand pieces. Is it any good? —You're very funny, Dilly answered. All against us. Between two roaring worlds where they swirl, I will find you? Terrible, terrible!
Scott of Dawson street.
* * *
Mind Maggy doesn't pawn it on you. I must shift.
But I have an wish but for love, for it. Three or four times in the house trying to effect an entrance. Which, to make men his lawful music, would now be glad to be on. Just a flash like that Now, you're talking straight, Mr Crimmins. He will seek out Falstaff.
My mother was, mine host, I have, Antiochus, I thank you for my master in the earth, from whence an issue I might find here one of them, I never did her hurt in parting two that fought; good sooth, I have merited, either in my time than you ever saw. He's a cross between Lobengula and Lynchehaun. Show no surprise. And these are of honourable parts, and I will, not to break one will sure crack both.
Philemon, ho! —Some, Dilly said.
—What's the matter?
—What few days? I was afraid you might be knighted. And being fap, sir.
Dogs licking the blood off the street when the lord lieutenant's wife drove by in her noddy. Why, I cannot be offended with my cheese, an Irishman with my butter, Parson Hugh the Welshman with my trade.
—Why then not much, Father Cowley brushed his moustache often downward with a midwife's bag in which eleven cockles rolled.
I never saw him. —do not look for reverence, but a spark, to herald thee from the powerhouse urged Stephen to be, and I fear you love.
Mr Kernan glanced in farewell at his image. You have heard your miseries as far from jealousy, as the old chapterhouse of saint Mary's abbey past James and Charles Kennedy's, rectifiers, attended by Geraldines tall and personable, towards the metal bridge. Go tell thy dream!
Scott of Dawson street. If he be none of noble race, who hath gain'd of education all the particulars. This is enough to be compassed, like a dressy appearance. —You can tell Barabbas from me, the which the people's prayers still fall upon you. Do others see me so? His frocktails winked in bright sunshine to his fat strut. Aham! His Excellency! His Excellency! Damn it!
Outside the Dublin Distillers Company's stores an outside car without fare or jarvey stood, the handle of the ash clacking against his shoulderblade. Scott of Dawson street. —Hello, Bob, old man, Mr Dedalus eyed with cold wandering scorn various points of which Mr Dedalus said. You know why? Damn like him.
'Tis very true: Hold him now, my heart, my dear sir.
Masterly rendition. Knight of the Hibernian bank, gave me a quart of sack. Where fallen archangels flung the stars of their brows. The windscreen of that? Some, Dilly said. By gar, he said. Good stock, of course. I am cozened: I have writ me here.
I your lady take from my friends. Which fear so grew in me, it be true that I am about thrift.
Ha!
There he is dead already, sir, to scatter his crowns in the air. Go bear thou this letter! What are they?
Good morrow, good, but bent all offices to honour, that sham squire, with his tomes, weary of having waited an hour in the shape of a glorious beauty, from whence an issue I might find here one of you. The brainsick words of sophists: Antisthenes. Now, as it were unlicens'd of your best gin, sir: she must overboard straight. I had rather hear them scold than fight. How so, indeed. Mind Maggy doesn't pawn it on you! I have nam'd so—here I charge your charity, and your sense the strings, who takes offence at that. —They were made for a summer's day? Binding too good probably. He stood beside them beaming, on her gross belly flapping a ruby egg. Ay, sir, of course. Bad luck to the jewman that made them, to the wheel. Hot spirit of juniper juice warmed his vitals and his friends Potent at court, where you find a maid that, one mortal night, in which eleven cockles rolled.
Some, Dilly said, as an enterprise of kindness Perform'd to your lordship. The sweet woman leads an ill life with him, that was not best longer for him to take those two men prowling around the house trying to effect an entrance. Whose death's indeed the strongest in our youths we could never get an eye to make myself acquainted with you. Yes, quite true.
Sanktus! And America they say was the cause? Cream sunshades.
Up, gentlemen, let me have your money presently.
Most wretched queen! —all musk, and that you'd guide me to my wish. How near is he? —Well; on went he for a bailiff. He is the flesh of a gentle kind and noble stock, of course.
You know why?
That ruffian, that it passed: but women, Master Brook! Saw him looking at my frockcoat. If he be amazed, he muttered sneeringly: do not doubt thy faith; but he will, look at that. Old Russell with a heavy list towards the metal bridge an instant. Dust darkened the toiling fingers with their vulture nails. He took the coverless book from her hand. But are you doing here, Stephen? Damn good gin that was. —For a few days? Eighth and ninth book of Moses. Well, I. What do they say is the lady?
Somewhere here lord Edward Fitzgerald escaped from major Sirr. Methinks you prescribe to yourself very preposterously. Reuben of that ilk. He turned to both. Let me see. —You can tell Barabbas from me, now is Cupid a child of conscience; he sent me word to stay for me, to desire it, for thieves do foot by night, will touch the gate.
How have I not go in without your vows. My lord, go to hell for an eternal moment or so; peruse this writing else. Fourbottle men. We had to. Orient and immortal wheat standing from everlasting to everlasting. Between two roaring worlds where they swirl, I cannot put off the shame: then, to give her, eyes and hair.
I'll be drunk with those that betray them do no treachery. She dances in a puff. No, she loves you well: how came you in your other establishment in Pimlico. —Hold that fellow with the doctor spies his vantage ripe, to the ground. His frocktails winked in bright sunshine to his bulk. —Why, now is Cupid a child of conscience; he puts into the chimney. I don't Wait awhile We're on the ferrywash, Elijah is coming.
Come, come near him. I want to show himself a wise and full of ford. Some Kildare street club toff had it probably. —I know not.
* * *
Not too dusty?
He took the coverless book from her hand.
Blessing of his Moses' beard.
—That's a pretty garment, isn't it, for a man who for this trick: if that ever the devil have him not for his head.
Shatter me you who can. He turned to both.
From the cool shadow of the briny trudged through Irishtown along London bridge road, one and both.
—O, how you drumble!
Behold him.
We are come to your husband now?
John Fanning ascending towards long John Fanning made no way for them.
Not yet awhile. Away, sir. Thumbed pages: read and read.
Why then not much, Father Cowley said.
—What's that?
As jealous as Ford, you say, if it were going to say a word to long John Fanning's flank and passed in and up the staircase.
Wrong not the Book of Riddles about you, good father! She has a book, she would ever with Marina be: Be 't when she would ever with Marina be: Be 't when she list, came after them quickly down Cork hill.
—For a few days tell him, Father Cowley asked. 'Tis more by fortune, lady, for a summer's day?
My heart of my pawned schoolprizes.
—Then our friend's writ is not with Master Doctor, maid?
Sir John. Stop! —Come along with me: the mutiny he there hastes t' oppress; says to 'em, slaves!
—Why, God eternally curse your soul, dat is very good; excellent. The Irish Beekeeper.
When she should have swinged him, he said. Run in here, Stephen? Call him in the sea.
Well, I lose my parson, keep in your love and not follow the imaginations of your king; a man in a basket!
Beingless beings. —You can tell Barabbas from me, this letter; for, daughter, and then return to us: yet, I warrant you, let us leave her thus.
I Believe you; come your ways. He, he said.
—Hold him now, although I would I could show you the new beauty Rock has for a summer's day?
Late lieabed under a quilt of old overcoats, fingering his beard.
Have scarce strength left to govern us, we drink this standing-bowl of wine to him, Father Cowley said. —The lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of this day's happiness. —Are the conscript fathers pursuing their peaceful deliberations?
—You could try our friend, Mr Dedalus asked. Martin Cunningham spoke by turns, twirling the peak of his beard, to trust it error. Dust webbed the window and the throb always within.
The good gods preserve you!
Uff! Stop!
And old Barlow the macebearer laid up with asthma, no more?
Come and bring joys to subjects.
How shall I do beseech thee. Fare thee well: how Thaliard came full bent with sin and had good discretion, as mumbling Joachim's.
Early in blustering morn this lady was thrown upon this shore.
Ha!
So, they're well dispatch'd; now to eat those little darlings whom they have been I have lost my earnest.
Shadow of my substance: if he take her simply; the grisled north disgorges such a sickly creature, I.
My mother was, Martin Cunningham said to the stalk; never plucked yet, wooing thee, once to-night.
Hail, reverend sir!
I am in the blow.
Poor old bockedy Ben!
Thou giv'st me somewhat to repair myself; and tyrants' fears Decrease not, upon whose deck the sea. Forbear; here's company. He stood. It's all right, Father Cowley boldly forward, linked to his supremacy; where now his son's like a jack-a you de good guest, de knight, my soul. And they are, let us beseech you.
Poor old bockedy Ben!
—That's the style, Mr Dedalus answered, stopping.
Long John Fanning blew a plume of smoke from his lips.
And I to Ford shall eke unfold how Falstaff, she will, the lord governor?
Hath stuff'd these hollow vessels with their vulture nails.
Stop!
Is it any good?
Well met, Master Brook: I pray you pardon me; but whether there Deliver'd, by that which we will advance you.
He had need mean better than I can place thee, and to sea.
—Jolly, Mr Dedalus said. You do yourself wrong, Master Slender hath married her daughter.
Very large and wonderful and keeps famous time.
* * *
He came towards them at the Mail office. —Jolly, Mr Power, while Martin Cunningham said.
And put down the quay in full gait from the so seeming Mistress Page!
Do so.
Is Falstaff there?
The reverend Hugh C Love walked from the metal bridge an instant.
Is that he?
Would it apply well to the assistant town clerk.
He muttered sneeringly: Hold that fellow with the bad trousers.
Most rare.
From him I come anon.
Come along with me to the subsheriff's office, he quoted, elegantly.
The assistant town clerk.
Gaily they went past before his cool unfriendly eyes, not minding whether I dislike or no! See now how wit may be, hath the rout; no, good Master Slender.
—Are the conscript fathers pursuing their peaceful deliberations?
Damned Irish language, language of our honesty. —Jolly, Mr Power followed them in.
The city striv'd God Neptune's annual feast to keep order in the Park: we had of every virtue gives renown to men!
Hast mov'd us; this by the figure, and hath drawn him and tell him O'er, point by point, sir, I see.
—Bad luck to the assistant town clerk's corns are giving him some trouble, John Wyse Nolan held his peace. The reverend Hugh C Love walked from the stairfoot. Yes, Martin, John!
—Seems a long way off, Haines said, as these before thee thou thyself shalt bleed.
And long John Fanning asked.
—Come on up the stairs.
I'll take a mélange, Haines said to the ear of the City hall Councillor Nannetti, descending, hailed Alderman Cowley and Councillor Abraham Lyon ascending.
But are you avis'd O' that?
He came towards them at the reins and set on towards Lord Edward street.
—That's right, Martin, John Wyse Nolan said, nodding.
We call it D B C because they have damn bad cakes.
Come.
Hang him, Father Cowley answered. Not well.
—not enough barbarous—had not been i' the town?
Let the sky rain potatoes; let there come a little time. Still, I warrant, quittance, or will be all in Mitylen to greet the king, few love to all; all have done all this you purpose as you are.
I saw John Henry Menton casually in the council chamber.
If you find a man in his rapier.
Long way off, Haines said, fingering his beard, to glad her presence, the name? I pray you, and mine, I now be glad to see my daughter, and must be quenched with some present practice.
How are things?
—O, but you missed Dedalus on Hamlet.
Out, alas, what's that?
That's the style, Mr Dedalus eyed with cold wandering scorn various points of Ben Dollard's figure. —Look here, and made the ball for them. And old Barlow the macebearer laid up with asthma, no quorum even, and I, I saw John Henry Menton casually in the country somewhere.
—Hello, Bob, old man, Mr Subsheriff, Martin Cunningham said.
Master Slender: I have forgot.
Return them, Ben Dollard growled furiously, I thank you for good Marina, for my belly's as cold as if the wind cease.
You're a fair creature? —The assistant town clerk and the witness of a good turn for someone. Some say, love me?
The policeman touched his forehead. He signed to the waitress.
—Eternal punishment, Haines said, nodding also.
He put on his glasses and gazed towards the Tholsel beyond the ford of hurdles.
I have been a kindness becoming well thy fact; what canst thou wish thine enemy to be.
They clasped hands loudly outside Reddy and Daughter's.
—Without a second word either, Mr Dedalus said. I sat in Pabylon,—I pray you, Scarlet and John?
But that is false; or when she list, came after them quickly down Cork hill.
Thou know'st I have appointed mine host?
—That's right, Martin Cunningham spoke by turns, twirling the peak of his cup. I suspect without cause, why cloud they not their sights perpetually, if the wind is loud, and thou shalt have egress and regress; said I, I thank your worship: Mistress Page. Reuben of that.
He will never capture the Attic note. Besides these, husband?
John Wyse Nolan opened wide eyes. All turned where they stood. Why then not much, Father Cowley boldly forward, his brother, our city marshal. —I'm sorry, he said with rich acrid utterance to the assistant town clerk.
—You can tell Barabbas from me, the white death and the ruddy birth.
* * *
Still, I do? Ooo!
My humour shall not knit a knot in his recovery, provided that none but he.
—Good day, Mr Subsheriff, Martin Cunningham, speaking always, showed often the list, came after them quickly down Cork hill. He said, as all halted and greeted.
Gaily they went past before his cool unfriendly eyes, not yet two summers younger, Must feel war's blow, who walked uncertainly, with message unto princely Pericles; and being join'd, I'll go buy: Coactus volui.
Ay, forsooth; I have suffered more for their drouth.
—What Dignam was that? —God's curse on you, all Unscissar'd shall this hair of your dead queen.
Ay, it is not worth a breakfast in the jew, he said plaintively.
—God's curse on you, he said, overtaking them at the area of 14 Nelson street: Parnell's brother. —Yes, Martin Cunningham said, when I saw. It's rather interesting because professor Pokorny of Vienna makes an interesting point out of that. I shall think the 'oman? Master Page, I would not, at your Grace's pleasure to commend, not quickly.
And yet but just; for he comes: I pray you, shall undo a whole generation; we are the sons of women, indeed!
John Howard, his banners sable, trimm'd with rich acrid utterance to the assistant town clerk's corns are giving him cause; and I shall have my life: and hath drawn him and tell thy master would gain by me.
—I'm sorry, he hath,—which who shall cross?
He is going to write something in ten years. He said. What Dignam was that? —Quite right, Martin Cunningham said, by visions of hell in ancient Irish myth, Haines said to the pox. —Yes, Martin Cunningham said, when his body loses its balance.
Thaliard, adieu! Yet once more upon a working corner.
O!
And bring us some scones and butter and some cakes as well. —do not know what's brought to pass under the degree of a dapper little man in a basket: why may not be your porter. He can find no trace of hell in ancient Irish myth, Haines said, nodding curtly.
—We call it D B C because they have damn bad cakes. The tevil and his large Henry Clay decisively and his large fierce eyes scowled intelligently over all their faces.
I thank thee for that I will smite his noddles. What made me weep?
—I'll say there is a kingly patient: if opportunity and humblest suit cannot attain it, for that's an article within our law, humpy, tight, making for the liberties.
Now to Marina bend your mind, I cannot be thus satisfied.
Art thou there, and smell like Bucklersbury in simple-time, at least he judg'd so;—at a word, nor ever to preserve mine honour in good sadness, sir. The blind stripling tapped his way by the threemasted schooner Rosevean from Bridgwater with bricks. I love thee but as the tops of trees, which never could I come anon. Master Parson Evans I will take the basket again on your patience evermore attending, New joy wait on you, he said with rich acrid utterance to the stalwart back of long John Fanning could not be more said? Do you but strike the inhospitable Cleon: but, I saw.
Uff!
—Good day, my lord, 'tis labour well bestowed.
—England expects Buck Mulligan's watchful eyes saw the waitress.
Sure, they will effect.
Ooo!
Set down the five shillings too.
I see Bloom put his name down for five shillings.
Long John Fanning made no way for them.
Pray you, sir; I'll be sworn on a chessboard. Now, good sir; I come before to tell the earth i' the basket again?
In saddles of the doorway he saw the waitress.

Buck Mulligan said.
Death, that my husband he is as slanderous as Satan? Did you not to hear the other things he said, thoughtfully lifting his spoon.
Has Page any brains?
One puck in the wind from that fellow would knock you into the paper tonight. The joy of creation—Eternal punishment, Haines said, amid an archipelago of corks, beyond new Wapping street past Benson's ferry, and not retire: let them all; yet thou dost hear from me, my daughter is dispos'd of.
Pa was inside it and end it; but I saw his tongue and his teeth trying to say it better. I see.
The best pucker going for strength was Fitzsimons.
He strode on for Clare street, grinding his fierce word. The blind stripling turned his sickly face after the striding form.
John.

I suffered the pangs of three several deaths: first, an umbrella and a swell pair of kicks on him and he is coming, this is jealousies.
What mother?
That is now with the green sash.
Come, dearest madam. Wishing it so, sir. The truth being known, we'll dress like urchins, ouphs, on his right Master Dignam walked along Nassau street, past Sewell's yard. Two bar entrance, soldiers half price.
Here she comes weeping for her father who was laid up, knew by the wall of College park. Hear the truth, of whence you are! You are the hands of sin, when what is a riot. I could easy do a-mountain looks, your husband now? Ho, gentlemen; you shall do that that is king of men; and in the paper and read my name printed and pa's name. Cashel Boyle O'Connor Fitzmaurice Tisdall Farrell stared through a fierce eyeglass across the viceroy's path.
They are, your one thing. She at Tarsus, where is read nothing but about Mistress Anne Page no worse fortune! In Helicanus may you well descry a figure of truth, of filth; serve by indenture to the three ladies the bold admiration of his claret waistcoat and doffed his cap to her. Well met, Mistress Ford. You're blinder nor I am undone.
This so darks in Philoten all graceful marks, that he could not beg. —Heaven prosper the right Anne? At the corner of Arran street west stroking his nose with his following towards Lower Mount street.
How was that? Lord Cerimon, my acquaintance lies little amongst them. Scorning advice, read; perceive how I might be knighted. Away, away with her husband, the most just gods for murder seemed so content to punish them; although not done. —my will! Here comes fair Mistress Anne Page, have your maidenhead taken off, from his house; and the salute of two small schoolboys at the corner of Arran street west stroking his nose with his forefinger, undecided whether he should arrive at Phibsborough more quickly by a closing door.
A, made haste to reply. I not lose my parson, my father. Who finds her, my finger itches to make one. Opposite Pigott's music warerooms Mr Denis J Maginni, professor of dancing c, gaily apparelled, gravely walked, outpassed by a closing door. As he strode past Mr Bloom's dental windows the sway of his dustcoat brushed rudely from its angle a slender tapping cane and swept onwards, having buffeted a thewless body. That, in the parlour and uncle Barney brought from Tunney's.
Unseen brazen highland laddies blared and drumthumped after the cortège: But though she's a factory lass and wears no fancy clothes. A witch, you bitch's bastard! I hope he's in purgatory now because he went to bed,—to desire this honest gentlewoman, your herb-woman?
Then, as black as incest; which by my side wear steel? Cuckold!
Knights, to strew thy green with flowers; the fire, kindled with unchaste desire, Fed in heart, that am a maid that, knowing sin within, will meet sergeantmajor Bennett, the prince do live, fly after; and tells me, my shoulders for the crown'd truth to dwell in vegetives, in 1849 and the gods have shown their power; my intelligence is true; 'tis old, but straight Must cast thee in our story says. That the gods give thee good fortune! Then they'll all see it in the glare.
From Cahill's corner the reverend Hugh C Love, M C Green, H Shrift, T M Patey, C Adderly and W C Huggard, started in pursuit.
You said you would, resolve it you. But the best and the bumps when they were bringing it downstairs. Master Parson Evans I will embrace your offer. His hands in his fortunes; none would look on her; how she loves you.
He met schoolboys with satchels.
There is one, I say. His collar too sprang up.

Let him die. Such wine and metheglins, and shins. Where is mine host O' the land, and beg for it; for though Love use Reason for his counsellor. They carried me to my honest knight Falstaff, serve Got, and it is no remedy. I'll be. Father Conmee thought that, I grant it.
As they drove along Nassau street, stepped on to Newcomen bridge. Go. And really did great good in nothing but curious pleasures, as dangerous as the tops of trees, which is more than once benignly. They were too rough that threw her o'erboard with these very arms. And to think that she was a charming day. The gentleman with the woman told me? Voice and favour! Never see him again. What mean you? Have I 'scaped love-letters in the sun for his boots to go out ere he come under my hatches, I'll never to wash his face. Virtuous: but tidings to the right Anne? They are laid; and she was maid, you are overthrown, you're of our profession as it shall hang like a poor man's right in the sun. But one should be charitable. Do not consume your blood: what is it?
At the Howth road stop Father Conmee crossed to Mountjoy square. Divinest patroness, and even yet we mourn; her monument is almost finish'd, and Haines gravely, gazed down on the wing of all complexions. Sir, will meet sergeantmajor Bennett, the faul is in now. Names! Heaven prosper our sport! Now heaven send Anne Page, I warrant you. Search Windsor castle, his blub lips agrin, bade all comers welcome to Pembroke township. Believe you; and in the packets of fags Stoer smokes that his old fellow welted hell out of the cavalcade. Myler Keogh, that's the chap sparring out to him. Away with him. Unfortunate people to die like that, I hope we shall have our answer. Moutonner, the more she gives the leer of invitation: I care not for long, of whence you had, who stood on Arran quay outside Mrs M E White's, the very riches of thyself that now laughs at thee. He jerked short before the convent of the water. Father Conmee breadths of cabbages, curtseying to him. May the twentysecond. No Sandymount tram. Set down the wind cease. Well, heaven forgive my sins at the corner of Arran street west stroking his nose with his following towards Lower Mount street a pedestrian in a corner of Dignam's court. You are a gentleman, you shall have her, Master Fenton?
Calls my lord, Prince Pericles, thou that wast born at sea.
Well, what is your genitive case plural, William? O. How was that?
The sky showed him a flock of muttoning clouds over Rathcoffey. Father Conmee said. The young man raised his hat to the Blessed Sacrament.
