	Ulysses, by James Joyce
		Bloom and Dedalus are both there at the same time--Bloom to purchase an advertisement and Dedalus to submit Deasy's letter ("Nestor" chapter).
		Dedalus complains that all night long Haines was “raving and moaning to himself about shooting a fl panther.” When Mulligan borrows a handkerchief from Dedalus, he looks at the mucus on it and comments: “The bard's [Dedalus’s] noserag.
		Dedalus then chides Mulligan: “Do you remember the first day I went to your house after my mother's death?” Mulligan can’t recall so Dedalus reminds him that when Buck’s mother asked who was with him, he replied, “O, it's only Dedalus whose mother is beastly dead.” Stephen says the remark offended him.

		Dedalus describes their consistency as that of "weak watery blood;" ironically, it is Dedalus' mother who has suffered a "weak watery" death.

		Dedalus is a strong singer and he engages in several rounds of a few Irish folk songs including the patriotic ballad, "The Croppy Boy." Ben Dollard, a professional singer, is also rather obese and he is the butt of a few of the barmaids¹ jokes.
