Monday, 17 March 2014 (Pages 132 - 134)

We stopped at "... grim as Potter the Grave..." (134.7)

Some favorites of the day:

our family furbear, out tribal turnpike; (132.32)

he took a svig at his own methyr but she tasted a bit gorky (132.34)

can rant as grave as oxtail soup; (133.13)

lebriety, frothearnity and quality; (133.31)

put to music by one shoebard; (133.26)

Is this what it was all about...?

This 'he', whoever he in fact is, could be Parnell (clues: furbear, invincibled, unhesitent in unionism and yet a pigotted nationalist), Napolean (clues: Boomaport, Walleslee, paunch and judex), the ur-beerbrauer (Gambrinus), somebody who has something to do with the values of French revolution (lebriety, frothearnity and quality).,.., One thing we are certain is that this 'he' is grim as Potter the Grave...
