Were they indefinitely inactive? 
At Stephen's suggestion; at Bloom's instigation both; first Stephen; then Bloom; in penumbra urinated; their sides contiguous; their organs of micturition reciprocally rendered invisible by manual circumposition; their gazes; first Bloom's; then Stephen's; elevated to the projected luminous and semiluminous shadow。 
Similarly? 
The trajectories of their; first sequent; then simultaneous; urinations were dissimilar: Bloom's longer; less irruent; in the inplete form of the bifurcated penultimate alphabetical letter who in his ultimate year at High School (1880) had been capable of attaining the point of greatest altitude against the whole concurrent strength of the institution; 210 scholars: Stephen's higher; more sibilant; who in the ultimate hours of the previous day had augmented by diuretic consumption an insistent vesical pressure。 
What different problems presented themselves to each concerning the invisible audible collateral organ of the other? 
To Bloom: the problems of irritability; tumescence; rigidity; reactivity; dimension; sanitariness; pelosity。 To Stephen: the problem of the sacerdotal integrity of Jesus circumcised (1st January; holiday of obligation to hear mass and abstain from unnecessary servile work) and the problem as to whether the divine prepuce; the carnal bridal ring of the holy Roman catholic apostolic church; conserved in Calcata; were deserving of simple hyperduly or of the fourth degree of latria accorded to the abscission of such divine excrescences as hair and toenails。 
What celestial sign was by both simultaneously observed? 
A star precipitated with great apparent velocity across the firmament from Vega in the Lyre above the zenith beyond the stargroup of the Tress of Berenice towards the zodiacal sign of Leo。 
How did the centripetal remainer afford egress to the centrifugal departer? 
By inserting the barrel of an arruginated male key in the hole of an unstable female lock; obtaining a purchase on the bow of the key and turning its wards from right to left; withdrawing a bolt from its staple; pulling inward spasmodically an obsolescent unhinged door and revealing an aperture for free egress and free ingress。 
How did they take leave; one of the other; in separation? 
Standing perpendicular at the same door and on different sides of its base; the lines of their valedictory arms; meeting at any point and forming any angle less than the sum of two right angles。 
What sound acpanied the union of their tangent; the disunion of their (respectively) centrifugal and centripetal hands? 
The sound of the peal of the hour of the night by the chime of the bells in the church of Saint George。 
What echoes of that sound were by both and each heard? 
By Stephen: 
Liliata rutilantium。 Turma circumdet。
Iubilantium te virginum。 Chorus excipiat。 
By Bloom: 
Heigho; heigho;
Heigho; heigho。
Where were the several members of the pany which with Bloom that day at the bidding of that peal had travelled from Sandymount in the south to Glasnevin in the north? 
Martin Cunningham (in bed); Jack Power (in bed); Simon Dedalus (in bed); Tom Kernan (in bed); Ned Lambert (in bed); Joe Hynes (in bed); John Henry Menton (in bed); Bernard Corrigan (in bed); Patsy Dignam (in bed); Paddy Dignam (in the grave)。 
Alone; what did Bloom hear? 
The double reverberation of retreating feet on the heavenborn earth; the double vibration of a jew's harp in the resonant lane。 
Alone; what did Bloom feel? 
The cold of interstellar space; thousands of degrees below freezing point or the absolute zero of Fahrenheit; Centigrade or Réaumur: the incipient intimations of proximate dawn。 
Of what did bellchime and handtouch and footstep and lonechill remind him? 
Of panions now in various manners in different places defunct: Percy Apjohn (killed in action; Modder River); Philip Gilligan (phthisis; Jervis Street hospital); Matthew F。 Kane (accidental drowning; Dublin Bay); Philip Moisel (pyemia; Heytesbury street); Michael Hart (phthisis; Mater Misericordi&Aelig; hospital); Patrick Dignam (apoplexy; Sandymount)。 
What prospect of what phenomena inclined him to remain? 
The disparition of three final stars; the diffusion of day…break; the apparition of a new solar disk。 
Had he ever been a spectator of those phenomena? 
Once; in 1887 after a protracted performance of charades in the house of Luke Doyle; Kimmage; he had awaited with patience the apparition of the diurnal phenomenon; seated on a wall; his gaze turned in the direction of Mizrach; the east。 
He remembered the initial paraphenomena? 
More active air; a matutinal distant cock; ecclesiastical clocks at various points; avine music; the isolated tread of an early wayfarer; the visible diffusion of the light of an invisible luminous body; the first golden limb of the resurgent sun perceptible low on the horizon。 
Did he remain? 
With deep inspiration he returned; retraversing the garden; reentering the passage; reclosing the door。 With brief suspiration he reassumed the candle; reascended the stairs; reapproached the door of the front room; hallfloor; and reentered。 
What suddenly arrested his ingress? 
The right temporal lobe of the hollow sphere of his cranium came into contact with a solid timber angle where; an infinitesimal but sensible fraction of a second later; a painful sensation was located in consequence of antecedent sensations transmitted and registered。 
Describe the alterations effected in the disposition of the articles of furnitures? 
A sofa upholstered in prune plush had been translocated from opposite the door to the ingleside near the pactly furled Union Jack (an alteration which he had frequently intended to execute): the blue and white checker inlaid majolicatopped table had been placed opposite the door in the place vacated by the prune plush sofa: the walnut sideboard (a projecting angle of which had momentarily arrested his ingress) had been moved from its position beside the door to a more advantageous but more perilous position in front of the door: two chairs had been moved from right and left of the ingleside to the position originally occupied by the blue and white checker inlaid majolicatopped table。 
Describe them。 
One: a squat stuffed easychair with stout arms extended and back slanted to the rere; which; repelled in recoil; had then upturned an irregular fringe of a rectangular rug and now displayed on its amply upholstered seat a centralised diffusing and diminishing discolouration。 The other: a slender splayfoot chair of glossy cane curves; placed directly opposite the former; its frame from top to seat and from seat to base being varnished dark brown; its seat being a bright circle of white plaited rush。 
What significances attached to these two chairs? 
Significances of similitude; of posture; of symbolism; of circumstantial evidence; of testimonial supermanence。 
What occupied the position originally occupied by the sideboard? 
A vertical piano (Cadby) with exposed keyboard; its closed coffin supporting a pair of long yellow ladies' gloves and an emerald ashtray containing four consumed matches; a partly consumed cigarette and two discoloured ends of cigarettes; its musicrest s
