We stopped at: pillulus of hirculeads (128.36), where the riddle, bringing up various traits of HCE, is continued.


Some favourite picks (and features of the characters we are looking for):


fuit, isst and herit and though he's mildewstaned he's mouldystoned (128.1)
(Reminiscent of: was/is/will be (in Latin); also of was/eats/inherits; "mildewstaned": old)


shot two queans and shook three caskles when he won his game of dwarfs (128.17)

(Think of chess game. Also: "quean" is 'prostitute')


fumes inwards like a strobolist till he smokes at both ends (128.18)

makes a delictuous entrée and finishes off the course between sweets and savouries (128.29)

flouts for forecasts, flairs for finds and the fun of the fray on the fairground (128.30)
(The rhythm rings of Ringa Ringa Roses.)

forbids us our trespassers as we forgate him (128.34)


piles big pelium on little ossas like the pillulus of hirculeads pilluls of (128.35)
