 THIRD CENSUS OF FINNEGANS WAKE 47 
Bygmester and variations—see Masterbuilder. 
Byng, General—with Wellington (q.v.) at 
 Waterloo. 8.12. 
Byrne, Alfie—Lord Mayor(q.v.) of Dublin (q.v.), friend of John Joyce(q.v.).
SeeLettens, III, 346. 568.32. 
Byrne, John Francis—Cranly (q.v.) inPortrait of the Artist. I don't
know what "byrne" or "burn," etc., refer to him, but his book of memoirs,
The Silent Years (1953), shows him to be an important model for Shaun (q.v.)
at 414-24 with his Spinoza, explosives, and cipher machines. ?439.34; &455.2.
*Byrnes_maybe Davy Byrne's pub in Ulysses, maybe J. F. Byrne. 586.11. 
Byron, George Gordon, Lord (1788— 1824)—English poet who may
always double with Biron (q.v.). 91.3; 
C 
Cabal—King Arthur's (q.v.) dog. 132.1 (note line 5, where Mordred,
q.v., couples with madnadh, Irish "dog.") 
*Cabbanger_see Coppinger. 71.35. 
Cabell, James Branch (1879—1958)— American author of Jungen (q.v.).
132.1; 
234.3. 
*Cabler, Negoist—seems to be Shem (q.v.) and to tie on to Capel (q.v.);
or maybe it combines with Cain and Abel (q.v.). 
488.21. 
Cabot, John (1450-98)—Italian navigator who discovered Newfoundland
for England. His son Sebastian was also a voyager. +312.8—with Thor,
Mendoza (q.q.v.); 315.22; 512.18. 
*Cad, Caddy and Primas 
 The encounter between my father and a tramp (the basis of my book) actually
took place in that part of the park. [Presumably the part of the Phoenix
(q.v.) Park where Sturk (q.v.) was murdered.] 
Letters, I, 396 
 I went to the British consulate, Zurich, to collect 25 francs due to the
English players by . . . Mr Henry Carr [q.v.]. . . . Mr Carr declined to
pay ... demanded from me 150 francs ... called me ... "a cad and a swindler"
and threatened to "wring my neck the next time he met me in the street".
I replied "That is not language that should be used in a government office"
and thereupon left the office. [It is but a trifle, but quietly amuses me
+435.10—with Boylan (q.v.); 465.17; 
563.12. 
Byron, Henry James (1834—84)—author of plays, including Our Boys,
domestic drama which ran for 1,362 performances in London. He may always
double with Lord Byron and Biron (q.q.v.). 
41.16. 
Bywaters and Thompson—defendants in a British murder trial of the 1920s.A
letter of Mrs Thompson to Bywaters, a sailor, is echoed at FIN 226.8—9,
232.25: 
"This time really will be the last you will go away—like things are,
won't it? We said it before, darhint. . . I'm telling you—if things
are the same again then I'm going with you—wherever it is—if
it's to sea—I am coming too—and if it's to nowhere—I'm
also coming, darhint     See Arthur Power, 64. 
that, according to Herbert Gorman (254), Joyce spoke these words coolly;
and according to Richard Ellmann (440) Joyce spoke them limply.] 
Letters, II, 424—25 
 When Russell [q.v.] first heard Joyce had eloped with Nora, he said to Stanislaus,
"Your brother is a perfect little cad . 
Ellmann, 196n 
 On the assumption (it mayn't be justified) that Joyce took the epithet "cad"
to his younger self, Shem (q.v.) is cadcaddy-cadet or younger son, and Shaun
is Primas or first-born—see Jacob and Esau. I read FIN 14.11—15
this way: 
Primas shot ("drilled") all decent people, i.e., shot his father, HCE (q.v.),
who is Everybody; Caddy wrote a farce about his father, i.e., committed patricide
with words. Primas goes on to be Buckley (q.v.), who shoots his father dead
with a gun; Caddy goes on to be Hosty (q.v.), who kills his father dead in
and by "The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly" (q.v.), using not a gun but slander
and satire, as ancient Irish poets did. 
 I am not very clear about the Cad. He seems identical with Satan(q.v.),
man's slanderer, with Bill, Beggar, Magrath (q.q.v.). See also Rubiconstein.
+ 3.11 ("kidscad buttended a bland old isaac"—Joyce glossed this [Letters,
