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 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
