We stopped at "... ouija ouija wicket up." (532.18)
Last week we had read that the 4 old men want to call Kitty the Beads, the Mandame of Tipknock Castle (530/32) to answer their questions. According to McHugh, Kitty the Beads lived near Ticknock, County Dublin, and she carried rosary beads. Joseph Campbell identifies her as the female janitor at HCE's pub.
What follows is her statements (hidden among many words that are to do with kitchen, cooking, ...) about HCE, how she massaged him till he was red in the face, etc. In Joseph Campbells' rendition of parts of page 531, she says, "He sizzled there, watching my picture as the refined soubrette, with my broached bust. And he never saw anything finer than he saw when I started so ladylike to leg a jig, highly tight, kickakickkack...."
At this point HCE himself participates in the inquisition conducted by the 4 old men.
