Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce

Stephen contemplates the lingo of rogues, and Frank introduces us to Thomas Harman and Richard Head.

The cocklepickers become Gypsies in Stephen's mind. Bing awast to Romeville.

Stephen's dream, almost. Haroun al Raschid. Adverb becomes verb.

The dogs digs; Thomas Gray's Elegy. Spouse-breach and pards, and Brunetto Latini's Tesoretto.

Tatters, the cocklepickers' dog, encounters a fallen comrade on Sandymount Strand and is called away. In Memoriam.

Still on Sandymount Strand: a dog, depicted with a painter's eye, barks at the sea. Heraldry. Seamorse… or seamouse?

Stephen thinks of drowning, and his mother's death. Tide and change.

In this bonus episode a few days before Christmas, Frank discusses the final tale of The Dubliners: The Dead.

Stephen, dwelling on insults, thinks of the Decameron - and of his own failures of courage and athleticism.

Still on the same paragraph, Frank considers Walter Harris's The History and Antiquities of the City of Dublin as a source for Joyce. Moving on, the dog barks, and Stephen imagines himself a stag at bay. Famous pretenders.
