Chapter 7

―Come along, the professor cried, waving his arm.

He set off again to walk by Stephen’s side.

Return of Bloom

―Yes, he said. I see them.

Mr Bloom, breathless, caught in a whirl of wild newsboys near the offices of the Irish Catholic and Irish Penny Journal , called:

― Mr Crawford! A moment!

― Telegraph ! Racing special!

―What is it? Myles Crawford said, falling back a pace.

A newsboy cried in Mr Bloom’s face:

―Terrible tragedy in Rathmines! A child bit by a bellows!

Interview with the Editor

―Just this ad, Mr Bloom said, pushing through towards the steps, puffing, and taking the cutting from his pocket. I spoke with Mr Keyes just now. He’ll give a renewal for two months, he says. After he’ll see. But he wants a par to call attention in the Telegraph too, the Saturday pink. And he wants it if it’s not too late I told councillor Nannetti from the Kilkenny People . I can have access to it in the national library. House of keys, don’t you see? His name is Keyes. It’s a play on the name. But he practically promised he’d give the renewal. But he wants just a little puff. What will I tell him, Mr Crawford?
