[Boawwll's Alocutionist]

"Kimmage Outer 17.67" Back at 35.24 we had "K. O. Sempatrick's Day and the fenian rising" which was numerologically preparsed as St Patrick's Day, 17 March (17) + Fenian Rising, 1867 (67) = 1767. At 13.14 we had "Dbln. W. K. O. O. Hear?" (maybe Well-Known Optophone which Ontophanes) "K.O." is OK backwards, and knock out (and Knights Of). K is young Kevin, and old Kate.

"the dominican mission... was on at the time" i suspect 'on' is the wrong preposition here since the mission is made up of people. (were dominicans especially sympathetic to socialist goals?)

4DV: "but did not otherwise respond beyond such sedentarity, though it was as easy as kisshands for him to reach for the hello grip and ring up Crumlin exchange, because as he explained, touching his wounded feelings in the future, the dominican mission was on at the time and he thought it might reform him. The more than considerably unpleasant bullocky before he rang off pegged a few stones all of a size, but possibly seeing the seriousness of what he had not done made him leave down the stones and having sobered up a bit,"

Since the numbers (except the last) betray no general pattern, there's no reason to think the first is really intentionally 111. (This would have implied that Joyce stopped adding new material when he reached the required count, or worse, made substitutions, or worst, pumped in filler when he was uninspired.)

"life, limb and chattels" Variations on this legal phrase normally refer to forfeitures imposed on convicted felons. The combination of 'life' and 'limb' makes no sense (limb is redundant).

[Kersse the tailor and the Norwegian captain]

Philip McCann was a ship's chandler at 2 Burgh Quay in Dublin; Joyce suggests in Stephen Hero that it was McCann who paid his godson's way through University College from 1898 to 1902, but McCann died in 1898, and does not seem to have left money for the purpose. A more genuine connection between him and Joyce came about through McCann's story, told to John Joyce, of a hunchbacked Norwegian captain who ordered a suit from a Dublin tailor, J.H. Kerse of 34 Upper Sackville Street. The finished suit did not fit him, and the captain berated the tailor for being unable to sew, whereupon the irate tailor denounced him for being impossible to fit. The subject was not promising, but it became, by the time John Joyce had retold it, wonderful farce, and it is one of the parables of native and outlander, humorous but full of acid repartee, which found their way into Finnegans Wake [esp. 311-331]. If that book ever reached his father in the afterworld, James Joyce once said, John Joyce's comment would be, 'Well, he can't tell that story as I used to and that's one sure five!' (Ellmann p23)
