"Qui quae quot at Quinnigan's Quake!"

(496.2-498.6)  Once again, one of the old men mocks ALP, beginning today's reading by saying, "Lordy Daw and Lady Don!"  HCE, he says, "was boycotted and girlcutted in debt and doom, on hill and haven."  Once again recalling the old nursery rhyme, he summarizes HCE's fall by saying, "Bumpty, tumbty, Sot on a Wall, Mute art for the Million."  No one on the surface of the Earth "would come next or nigh him, Mr Eelwhipper."  ALP (via Shaun) confirms this, saying, "All ears did wag, old Eire wake as Piers Aurell was flappergangsted."

One of the old men shouts, "Recount!"  This seems to trigger a transition from ALP's voice back to Shaun's natural, personal voice.  Retaining a bit of the voice of ALP, he literally re-counts the story on his "fingall's ends," explaining how the two young girls occasioned HCE's fall, and the three soldiers witnessed it:  "This liggy piggy wanted to go to the jampot.  And this leggy peggy spelt pea.  And theese lucky puckers played at pooping tooletom."

One of the old men prompts Shaun to "change that subjunct from the traumaturgid" and return to HCE.  Did he deal in tea before running the pub, or did he deal in sugar?  The old man likens HCE's imperial reach to that of the British Empire (as noted by Campbell and Robinson), stretching out to the Americas of "Christy Columb."  The old man goes on to ask, "His producers are they not his consumers?"  He's asking Shaun to discuss the relationship between HCE and the people and to explain how those who hastened his downfall benefited from what he left behind.

This prompts a long (well, two-page) paragraph from Shaun.  In the portion of that paragraph contained in today's reading, Shaun lists the multitude of people who arrived at the house for HCE's wake.  On one level, Shaun describes various locations in and around Dublin and Ireland from which the mourners came.  On another level, he suggests that HCE was mourned by people from all over the world.  America (presumably North and South), Asia, Africa, and Australia are named by Shaun, for example, when he says the people came "from America Avenue and Asia Place and the Affrian Way and Europa Parade and besogar the wallies of Noo Soch Wilds."  Dignitaries like "Piowtor the Grape" (Peter the Great) attended the festivities at HCE's "licensed boosiness primises" near the magazine wall in Phoenix Park, as did "boot kings and indiarubber umpires and shawhs from paisley and muftis in muslim and sultana reiseines and jordan almonders and a row of jam sahibs and a odd principeza in her pettedcoat and the queen of knight's clubs and the claddagh ringleaders."  At the end of today's passage, Shaun also lists J.B. Dunlop, "the best tyrent of ourish times," and an unnamed count who rode a donkey up the staircase.
