"So long, Sulleyman!"

(494.6-496.1)  The reading for today begins with one of the old men mocking ALP (as voiced by Shaun).  "Extinct your vulcanology for the lava of Moltens!" he says.  Taking on an aggressive tone that sticks for at least the rest of today's passage, ALP responds by saying, "It's you not me's in erupting, hecklar!"

One of the old men returns to the scene we've retraced so many times before:  HCE's sin in Phoenix Park.  Using the language of the cosmos, he identifies HCE as "Satarn" (both Saturn and Satan).  The two young women are "the pisciolinnies Nova Ardonis and Prisca Parthenopea," and the three soldiers are "Ers, Mores and Merkery."  The four old men, in turn, "weep in the mansions" over the four corners of the sky.  This comparison complete, another old man returns to mocking ALP:  "Eva's got barley under her fluencies!"  He paints HCE as a lewd lowlife, who creeps around schoolyards hoping to tempt young girls.

ALP has had enough.  "I will confess to his sins and blush me further," she says.  She will rebuke the "libels of snots," about whom she says, "Synamite is too good for them."  She attacks a certain Sullivan, a "wreuter of annoyimgmost letters and skirriless ballets in Parsee French" who has damaged HCE's reputation.  Of him, ALP says that "he is not fit enough to throw guts down to a bear."  The townsfolk are ready to hang HCE, but she's ready to bury them, and after she has taken care of them, her and HCE (who she calls "my Riley" and "my Finnyking") will laugh.  Near the end of her aggressive defense, ALP insinuates that the two young women in the park, the "legintimate lady performers of display unquestionable," were paid to tempt HCE toward their fall.

The old men don't buy ALP's defense, and say that she is misled.  She concludes today's reading by replying, "Alas for livings' pledjures!"
