14 (U120.955)

A bevy of scampering newsboys rushed down the steps

14th cast. page 120, line 955.

 

A bevy of scampering newsboys rushed down the steps, scattering in all directions, yelling, their white papers fluttering. Hard after them Myles Crawford appeared on the steps, his hat aureoling his scarlet face, talking with J. J. O’Molloy.

 

Episode 7 again. Stephen and Prof. MacHugh left the newspaper office and went left on Abbey Street. They were followed by, Crawford, the editor of the Freeman's Journal, just came out with O’Molloy, the solicitor.

 

In English onomatopoeia, sounds are incorporated into verbs like "jingle".

 

In this passage, such verbs (scampering, scattering, yelling, fluttering) are frequently used.

 

Crawford's face is red because he's been drinking since daytime.

 

In Ulysses, the scenes where someone appears on the stairs are used impressively. The novel begins with Mulligan appearing at the top of the stairs (U 3.1). This morning, Blooms cat was on the stairs (U 309.1134) (U 629.937).
