Had Bloom and Stephen been baptised； and where and by whom； cleric or layman？
Bloom （three times） by the reverend Mr Gilmer Johnston M。 A。 alone in the protestant church of Saint Nicolas Without； Coombe； by James O'Connor； Philip Gilligan and James Fitzpatrick； together； under a pump in the village of Swords； and by the reverend Charles Malone C。 C。； in the church of the Three Patrons； Rathgar。 Stephen （once） by the reverend Charles Malone； C。 C。； alone； in the church of the Three Patrons； Rathgar。
Did they find their educational careers similar？
Substituting Stephen for Bloom Stoom would have passed successively through a dame's school and the high school。 Substituting Bloom for Stephen Blephen would have passed successively through the preparatory； junior； middle and senior grades of the intermediate and through the matriculation； first arts； second arts and arts degree course of the royal university。
Why did Bloom refrain from stating that he had frequented the university of life？
Because of his fluctuating incertitude as to whether this observation had or had not been already made by him to Stephen or by Stephen to him。
What two temperaments did they individually represent？
The scientific。 The artistic。
What proofs did Bloom adduce to prove that his tendency was towards applied； rather than towards pure； science？
Certain possible inventions of which he had cogitated when reclining in a state of supine repletion to aid digestion； stimulated by his appreciation of the importance of inventions now mon but once revolutionary for example； the aeronautic parachute； the reflecting telescope； the spiral corkscrew； the safety pin； the mineral water siphon； the canal lock with winch and sluice； the suction pump。
Were these inventions principally intended for an improved scheme of kindergarten？
Yes； rendering obsolete popguns； elastic airbladders； games of hazard； catapults。 They prised astronomical kaleidoscopes exhibiting the twelve constellations of the zodiac from Aries to Pisces； miniature mechanical orreries； arithmetical gelatine lozenges； geometrical to correspond with zoological biscuits； globemap playingballs； historically costumed dolls。
What also stimulated him in his cogitations？
The financial success achieved by Ephraim Marks and Charles A。 James； the former by his 1d。 bazaar at 42 George's street； South； the latter at his 6 1/2d。 shop and world's fancy fair and waxwork exhibition at 30 Henry street； admission 2d。； children 1d。； and the infinite possibilities hitherto unexploited of the modern art of advertisement if condensed in triliteral monoideal symbols； vertically of maximum visibility （divined）； horizontally of maximum legibility （deciphered） and of magnetising efficacy to arrest involuntary attention； to interest； to convince； to decide。

What is home without Plumtree's Potted Meat？
Inplete。
With it an abode of bliss。
Manufactured by George Plumtree； 23 Merchants' quay； Dublin； put up in 4 oz。 pots； and inserted by Councillor Joseph P。 Nannetti； M。 P。； Rotunda Ward； 19 Hardwicke street； under the obituary notices and anniversaries of deceases。 The name on the label is Plumtree。 A plumtree is a meatpot； registered trade mark。 Beware of imitations。 Peatmot。 Trumplee。 Montpat。 Plamtroo。
Which example did he adduce to induce Stephen to deduce that originality； though producing its own reward； does not invariably conduce to success？
His own ideated and rejected project of an illuminated showcart； drawn by a beast of burden； in which two smartly dressed girls were to be seated engaged in writing。
What suggested scene was then constructed by Stephen？
Solitary hotel in mountain pass。 Autumn。 Twilight。 Fire lit。 In dark corner young man seated。 Young woman enters。 Restless。 Solitary。 She sits。 She goes to window。 She stands。 She sits。 Twilight。 She thinks。 On solitary hotel paper she writes。 She thinks。 She writes。 She sighs。 Wheels and hoofs。 She hurries out。 He es from his dark corner。 He seizes solitary paper。 He holds it towards fire。 Twilight。 He reads。 Solitary
What？
In sloping； upright and backhands： Queen's hotel； Queen's hotel； Queen's Ho。。。
What suggested scene was then reconstructed by Bloom？
The Queen's Hotel； Ennis； County； Glare； where Rudolph Bloom （Rudolf Virag） died on the evening of the 27 June 1886； at some hour unstated； in consequence of an overdose of monkshood （aconite） selfadministered in the form of a neuralgic liniment； posed of 2 parts of aconite liniment to 1 of chloroform liniment （purchased by him at 10。20 a。m。 on the morning of 27 June 1886 at the medical hall of Francis Dennehy； 17 Church street； Ennis） after having； though not in consequence of having； purchased at 3。15 p。m。 on the afternoon of 27 June 1886 a new boater straw hat； extra smart （after having； though not in consequence of having； purchased at the hour and in the place aforesaid； the toxin aforesaid）； at the general drapery store of James Cullen； 4 Main street； Ennis。
Did he attribute this homonymity to information or coincidence or intuition？
Coincidence。
Did he depict the scene verbally for his guest to see？
He preferred himself to see another's face and listen to another's words by which potential narration was realised and kinetic temperament relieved。
Did he see only a second coincidence in the second scene narrated to him； described by the narrator as A Pisgah Sight of Palestine or The Parable of the Plums？
It； with the preceding scene and with others unnarrated but existent by implication； to which add essays on various subjects or moral apothegms （e。g。 My Favourite Hero or Procrastination is the Thief of Time） posed during schoolyears； seemed to him to contain in itself and in conjunction with the personal equation certain possibilities of financial； social； personal and sexual success； whether specially collected and selected as model pedagogic themes （of cent per cent merit） for the use of preparatory and junior grade students or contributed in printed form； following the precedent of Philip Beaufoy or Doctor Dick or Heblon's Studies in Blue； to a publication of certified circulation and solvency or employed verbally as intellectual stimulation for sympathetic auditors； tacitly appreciative of successful narrative and confidently augurative of successful achievement； during the increasingly longer nights gradually following the summer solstice on the day but three following； videlict； Tuesday； 21 June （S。 Aloysius Gonzaga）； sunrise 3。33 a。m。； sunset 8。29 p。m。
Which domestic problem as much as； if not more than； any other frequently engaged his mind？
What to do with our wives。
What had been his hypothetical singular solutions？
Parlour games （dominos； halma； tiddledywinks； spillikins； cup and ball； nap； spoil five； bezique； twentyfive； beggar my neighbour； draughts； chess or backgammon）： embroidery； darning or knitting for the policeaided clothing society： musical duets； mandoline and guitar； piano and flute； guitar and piano： legal scrivenery or envelope addressing： biweekly visits to variety entertainments： mercial activity as pleasantly manding and pleasingly obeyed mistress proprietress in a cool dairy shop or warm cigar divan： the clandestine satisfaction of erotic irritation in masculine brothels； state inspected and medically controlled： social visits； at regular infrequent prevented intervals and with regular frequent preventive superintendence； to and from female acquaintances of recognised respectability in the vicinity： courses of evening instruction specially designed to render liberal instruction agreeable。
What instances of deficient mental development in his wife inclined him in favour of the lastmentioned （ninth） solution？
In disoccupied moments she had more than once covered a sheet of paper with signs and hieroglyphics which she stated were Greek and Irish and Hebrew characters。 She had interrogated constantly at varying intervals as to the correct method of writing the capital initial of the name of a city in Canada； Quebec。 She understood little of political plications； internal； or balance of power； external。 In calculating the addenda of bills she frequently had recourse to digital aid。 After pletion of laconic epistolary positions she abandoned the implement of calligraphy in the encaustic pigment exposed to the corrosive action of copperas； green vitriol and nutgall。 Unusual polysyllables of foreign origin she interpreted phonetically or by false analogy or by both： metempsychosis （met him pike hoses）； alias （a mendacious person mentioned in sacred Scripture）。
What pensated in the false balance of her intelligence for these and such deficiencies of judgment regarding persons； places and things？
The false apparent parallelism of all perpendicular arms of all balances； proved true by construction。 The counterbalance of her proficiency of judgment regarding one person； proved true by experiment。
How had he attempted to remedy this state of parative ignorance？
Variously。 By leaving in a conspicuous place a certain book open at a certain page： by assuming in her； when alluding explanatorily； latent knowledge： by open ridicule in her presence of some absent other's ignorant lapse。
With what success had he attempted direct instruction？
She followed not all； a part of the whole； gave attention with interest； prehended with surprise； with care repeated； with greater difficulty remembered； forgot with ease； with misgiving reremembered； rerepeated with error。
What system had proved more effective？
Indirect suggestion implicating self…interest。
Example？
She disliked umbrella with rain； he liked woman with umbrella； she disliked new hat with rain； he liked woman with new hat； he bought new hat with rain； she carried umbrella with new hat。
Accepting the analogy implied in his guest's parable which examples of postexilic eminence did he adduce？
Three seekers of the pure truth； Moses of Egypt； Moses Maimonides； author of More Neubkim （Guide of the Perplexed） and Moses Mendelssohn of such eminence that from Moses （of Egypt） to Moses （Mendelssohn） there arose none like Moses （Maimonides）。
What statement was made； under correction； by Bloom concerning a fourth seeker of pure truth； by name Aristotle； mentioned； with permission； by Stephen？
That the seeker mentioned had been a pupil of a rabbinical philosopher； name uncertain。
Were other anapocryphal illustrious sons of the law and children of a selected or rejected race mentioned？
Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn （poser）； Baruch Spinoza （philosopher）； Mendoza （pugilist）； Ferdinand Lassalle （reformer； duellist）。
What fragments of verse from the ancient Hebrew and ancient Irish languages were cited with modulations of voice and translation of texts by guest to host and by host to guest？
By Stephen： suil； suil； suil arun； suil go siocair agus； suil go
