EUMAEUS
"To which impromptu the neverfailing Bloom replied without a moment's hesitation, saying straight off:

So saying he skipped around, nimbly considering, frankly at the same time apologetic to get on his companion's right, a habit of his, by the bye, his right side being, in classical idiom, his tender Achilles. The night air was certainly now a treat to breathe though Stephen was a bit weak on his pins." (U16.1711)
