"Grausssssss! Opr! Grausssssss! Opr!"

(415.25-417.23)  The Ondt is not impressed with the Gracehoper, to say the least.  "Libelous!" he exclaims as he looks at his own reflection in his window.  "Inzanzarity!"  The Ondt says that he will not "come to party" at the Gracehoper's, "for he is not on our social list."  Instead, he prays that the Gracehoper's filth will not stain him.  He projects big things for himself:  "As broad as Beppy's realm shall flourish my reign shall flourish!"

Shaun goes on to describe the Ondt as "a weltall fellow, raumybult and abelboobied" and "sair sair sullemn and chairmanlooking."  With the Ondt's bona fides established, Shaun turns his attention back toward the "sillybilly" Gracehoper, who has fallen victim to his vices, including drinking, bilking, and whoring.  In his sorry state, he could find neither food nor hospice.  Eventually, he makes a move toward repentance:  "O moy Bog, he contrited with melanctholy.  Meblizzered, him sluggered!  I am heartily hungry!"

In a particularly great passage, we learn that the Gracehoper has consumed the substance and soul of the world around him, as well as time itself:

He had eaten all the whilepaper, swallowed the lustres, devoured forty flights of styearcases, chewed up all the mensas and seccles, ronged the records, made mundballs of the ephemerids and vorasioused most glutinously with the very timeplace in the ternitary.

Eventually, he strolls around the globe three times and sees the world torn apart.  He is called back by the sound of "Grausssssss!  Opr!  Grausssssss!  Opr!"

Upon his return, which occurs after he "promptly tossed himself in the vico," he beholds "a world of differents."  "His Gross the Ondt" is now the royal sovereign who "sits upon his dhrone."  The four women of yesterday's reading -- Floh, Luse, Bieni, and Vespatilla -- dote upon the regal Ondt, "[a]s entomate as intimate could pinchably be."  The Gracehoper is amazed:  "Emmet and demmet and be jiltses crazed and be jadses whipt!"  He closes today's passage exclaiming, "[W]hat have eyeforsight!"
