A DEADHAND
(Writes on the wall.) Bloom is a cod.
A CRAB
(In bushranger's kit.) What did you do in the cattlecreep behind Kilbarrack?
A FEMALE INFANT
(Shakes a rattle.) And under Ballybough bridge?
A HOLLYBUSH
And in the devil's glen?
BLOOM
(Blushes furiously all over from front to nates, three tears falling from his left eye.) Spare my past.
