Constitution hill and Broadstone terminus. In
the porch of Four Courts Richie Goulding with the
costbag of Goulding, Collis and Ward saw him with
surprise. Past Richmond bridge at the doorstep
of the office of Reuben J Dodd, solicitor, agent for
the Patriotic Insurance Company, an elderly female
about to enter changed her plan and retracing her
steps by King’s windows smiled credulously on
the representative of His Majesty. From its sluice
in Wood quay wall under Tom Devan’s office Poddle
river hung out in fealty a tongue of liquid sewage.
Above the crossblind of the Ormond hotel, gold by
bronze, Miss Kennedy’s head by Miss Douce’s
head watched and admired. On Ormond quay Mr Simon
Dedalus, steering his way from the greenhouse for
the subsheriff’s office, stood still in midstreet
and brought his hat low. His Excellency graciously
returned Mr Dedalus’ greeting. From Cahill’s
corner the reverend Hugh C. Love, M.A., made obeisance
unperceived, mindful of lords deputies whose hands
benignant had held of yore rich advowsons. On
Grattan bridge Lenehan and M’Coy, taking leave
of each other, watched the carriages go by. Passing
by Roger Greene’s office and Dollard’s
big red printinghouse Gerty MacDowell, carrying the
Catesby’s cork lino letters for her father who
was laid up, knew by the style it was the lord and
lady lieutenant but she couldn’t see what Her
Excellency had on because the tram and Spring’s
big yellow furniture van had to stop in front of her
on account of its being the lord lieutenant.
Beyond Lundy Foot’s from the shaded door of Kavanagh’s
winerooms John Wyse Nolan smiled with unseen coldness
towards the lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor
of Ireland. The Right Honourable William Humble,
earl of Dudley, G. C. V. O., passed Micky Anderson’s
all times ticking watches and Henry and James’s
wax smartsuited freshcheeked models, the gentleman
Henry, Dernier CRI James. Over against Dame
gate Tom Rochford and Nosey Flynn watched the approach
of the cavalcade. Tom Rochford, seeing the eyes
of lady Dudley fixed on him, took his thumbs quickly
out of the pockets of his claret waistcoat and doffed
his cap to her. A charming soubrette, great
Marie Kendall, with dauby cheeks and lifted skirt
smiled daubily from her poster upon William Humble,
earl of Dudley, and upon lieutenantcolonel H. G. Heseltine,
and also upon the honourable Gerald Ward A. D. C.
From the window of the D. B. C. Buck Mulligan gaily,
and Haines gravely, gazed down on the viceregal equipage
over the shoulders of eager guests, whose mass of forms
darkened the chessboard whereon John Howard Parnell
looked intently. In Fownes’s street Dilly
Dedalus, straining her sight upward from Chardenal’s
first French primer, saw sunshades spanned and wheelspokes
spinning in the glare. John Henry Menton, filling
the doorway of Commercial Buildings, stared from winebig
oyster eyes, holding a fat gold hunter watch not looked
at in his fat left hand not feeling it. Where
