Day 9.

Page 12. Am I wrong or is everyone cheering a toast to old dead Finnegan now?

Page 13. More revelry as the drinkers in the pub cheer in unison to Finnegan. There's an interesting word "funferall" half way down the page. It's fun for all, funeral, and fall all in one word. If it wasn't for all the Irish nonsense in this book and the words no one could ever read, this might be a fun book.

There's also a term W. K. O. O. which looks like code or might just be a noise, but the numbers do add up to something. More on that tomorrow.

There's a chorus of four men, one of whom is Jewish, singing and playing musical instruments at the wake/in the pub. It's still not clear if Finnegan's body is there. I don't know yet why he's Jewish, or why that's relevant. But the entire paragraph has a klezmer-like rhythm to it. That's a lot of work to write like that.

The page ends with some dates that I'll loop into page 14. It'll make more sense there.
