blower with the childs bonnet on the top of his nob let us

this is the fruits of Mr Paddy Dignam yes they were all in
great style at the grand funeral in the paper Boylan brought
in if they saw a real officers funeral thatd be something re-

the two Dedaluses and Fanny MCoys husband white head
of cabbage skinny thing with a turn in her eye trying to sing
my songs shed want to be born all over again and her old
green dress with the lowneck as she cant attract them any
other way like dabbling on a rainy day I see it all now plain-
ly and they call that friendship killing and then burying one
another and they all with their wives and families at home
more especially Jack Power keeping that barmaid he does of
course his wife is always sick or going to be sick or just get-

getting a bit grey over the ears theyre a nice lot all of them

he has sense enough not to squander every penny piece he
earns down their gullets and looks after his wife and family

in a way for him what are his wife and 5 children going to
