"So see we so as seed we sow."

(249.5-251.20)  The winning word winked to Glugg is, "Luck!"  As noted by McHugh, this is Izod both wishing Glugg luck and telling him to look, for the answer to the riddle has been set right in front of him.  Hearing that word, Glugg is transported in a way into "the house of breathings," or Izod's mouth, in which the word in "all fairness" lies.  What follows is a passage that sets forth the construction and features of Izod's mouth/house, with its "roof" of "massicious jasper" and "canopy"-tongue of "Tyrian awning" that rises and descends.  Amongst milk, rhubarb, roasted meats, consonants, and vowels, the "word" exists in Izod's mouth.

But just after Izod wishes Glugg luck, the Floras gather around her before him, pretending to help but instead shouting taunts at him.  It's 29 bloomers versus one man.  They ask him if he's going to wear a rosy ribbon, and he pretends to tie one around himself.  They ask if he's going to clean their chimneys, and he pretends to sweep.  They ask if he can say adieu to his future wife, and he pretends to cut up and bite off their heads and spit them into a pail.

Now the Floras are scolded for wasting time, for the ultimate showdown between Glugg and Chuff is imminent.  Language mirroring that of Macbeth appears here, perhaps positioning Glugg as Macbeth and Chuff as Macduff.  Glugg, the foul-smelling libeler, is set in opposition to the fair-smelling Floras, who trail Izod.  They follow Chuff and bet their money on him as they place God's scourge on Glugg.

Glugg stands there blinking, "[t]hrust from the light, apophotorejected."  His clothes are spotted with the marks of his foul deeds and thoughts.  The passage ends with him still apparently frazzled by the Floras.  He rightly sees them as standing in opposition to him -- "They vain would convert the to be hers in the word," or, in other words, they won't help to make Glugg into Izod's husband -- but he also lusts over them:  "Gosh, they're fair ripecherry!"  And so Glugg continues to mirror the complex relationship his father, HCE, had with the predecessors of these young women.
