And one time he led him the rounds of dublin and , by the holy farmer , he never cried crack till he brought him home as drunk as a boiled owl and he said he did it to teach him the evils of alcohol and by herrings if the three women didn t near roast him it s a queer story , the old one , bloom s wife and mrs o dowd that kept the hotel 憑著神圣的鄉巴佬發誓,布盧姆連一句也沒嘮叨,直到那家伙醉得像一只燉熟的貓頭鷹,這才把他帶回來。他說他這么做是為了教給那個侄子酗酒的害處。那個老太婆布盧姆的老婆和旅店老板娘奧多德太太這三位婦人居然沒差點兒把他整個兒烤了,也夠不尋常的了。
