Our reading stopped at "...finister started?" (516.36)
The inquisitor (one of the four inquisitors) asks Shaun to reconstruct the funeral games, as briefly as he can, inexactly the same as mind's eye view, when the old man (Earwicker?) was on his ars, the lady (ALP?) was with the lamp, and the boy (Shaun?) was in the barleybag.
Shaun is not very keen on answering because, as he says, he was drunk all lost life. But he gives in when the inquisitor starts with the opening, 'Once upon a grass and a hopping high grass it was.'
