There's a lot going on here and it's hard to abbreviate. Haines is a bit of ass but, as an Englishman, his merits for the Irish boys at table seem to be in his wallet. We probably should talk a bit about Haines' inspiration here, Dermot Trench. JJQ (James Joyce Quarterly) has a good, clear description here; http://www.jstor.org/pss/25487234 A big problem with the Celtic Revival is, "where's the money for country tales?" We'll see this again in Stephen and Mulligan's conversation about Haines, but I think it's important to remember that the boys here, keepers of the omphalos, know that they're playing their parts, shucking and jiving their wits for the British moneybags. -R Nice one, Mike.
