Linati schema: "The Hostile Environment" [more]

Odyssey: [passim] (a road not taken)

In planning this chapter, Joyce analysed a children's game that involved mazes and discovered a series of tricks that would maximise confusion. One of these was to use places with similar names.

-- Bloodless sacrifice.
-- Let us hope... But listen to me. Think about it.
-- I'll think about it.
-- But in earnest, eh? Here it is. Come see me and think about it. Goodbye, dear fellow.
