Ormond Hotel, 7-11 Ormond Quay Upper - Sirens

Bronze by gold, Miss Douce and Miss Kennedy are barmaids in the Ormond bar on the quays. They serve drinks to the men whilst chatting about Miss Douce getting sunburnt on holiday. Music is the theme of the chapter. The blind stripling has tuned the piano. Tap. Lenehan arrives to meet Boylan at 4pm. Bloom meets Richie Goulding heading into the Ormond to get something to eat and decides to join him. Bloom wonders why Boylan has not left to meet Molly. Jingle a tinkle jaunted and Boylan leaves. Ben Dollard sings Love and War and Simon Dedalus sings Martha. Blazes Boylan travels up the hill by the Rotunda and into Dorset St. Bloom hastily writes a reply to Martha Clifford and leaves the bar as Ben Dollard sings the Croppy Boy. Outside Bloom reads the last words of Robert Emmet in a shop window. Prrprr. Fff!
