"It is a confoundyous injective so to say, Shaun th fiery boy shouted, naturally incensed, as he shook the red pepper out of his auricles. And another time please confine your glaring intinuations to some other mordant body. What on the physiog of this furnaced planet would I be doing besides your verjuice."
And now, more pages:
p. 201
"Only for my short Brittas bed made's as snug as it smells"
So, not very snug then?
"Tell me every tiny teign."
I imagine this line being said in a sweet Irish brogue.
p. 202
"Someone he was, whuebra they were, in a tactic attack or in single combat."
This sounds like a description of a great warrior.
"a wolf of the sea"
A reference to the Jack London book, The Sea Wolf?
"Tisn't only tonight you're anacheronistic!"
It's not only tonight that you're using things out of their time!
p. 203
"Alesse, the lagos of girly days!"
Logos?
p. 204
"Kissuahealing...O, wasn't he the bold priest?"
A priest who kiss heals? I should say he's bold!
"eau de Colo"
Fragrances, by Joyce.
p. 205
"lootin quarter"
Fun play on the Latin Quarter.
p. 206
"Euclid"
There he is again!
p. 207
"Spitz on the iern while it's hot."
Strike the iron while it's hot?
p. 208 (nothin')
p. 209
"And where in thunder did she plunder?"
I like this. Say it in a pirate voice.
"Out of the paunschaup on to the pyre."
Out of the frying pan/pawnshop into the fire/buyer?
p. 210
"a drowned doll, to face downwards for modest Sister Anne Mortimer"
All I can get from this is the part about Anne Mortimer.
p. 211
"Tristram"
There he is again!
p. 212
"life past befoul his prime."
Someone died before his prime/time. His life went past too fast. :)
p. 213
"So near and yet so far!"
An iconic line.
"I told you every telling has a taling and that's the he and the she of it."
Everyone has a story, whether they're a man or a woman?
"O, my back, my back, my bach!"
Nice.
p. 214
"Oronoko!"
A reference I get! Aphra Behn!
"Ireland sober is Ireland stiff."
Is he saying that the Irish need to be drunk?
p. 215
"Anna was, Livia is, Plurabelle's to be."
Annabelle Lee!
p. 216
"Tell me, tell me, tell me, elm! Night night!
AIEEEEE!
p. 217-218
BLANK.
p. 219
"Somndoze massinees."
Sunday mass?
"Before all the King's Hoarsers with all the Queen's Mum."
Ah, Humpty has insinuated himself deep within the novel.
p. 220
"(Girl Scouts from St. Bride's Finishing Establishment, demand acidulateds)"
This sounds like a crack team of Girl Scouts "The Floras". AKA "The Girl Scouts from HELL!"
"HUMP"
There he is again!
"having partially recovered from a recent impeachment due to egg everlasting,"
He fell off a wall.
"Poopinheavin"
HA!
