The last reading stopped with Stephen:
“and all the other plays which I have not read.”
(Scylla and Charybdis U9.1015)
Catherine Meyer chose the phrase “agenbite of inwit” as a theme for a sketch. She writes:

Catherine Meyer chose the phrase “agenbite of inwit” as a theme for a sketch. She writes:
I went back to a note from Fritz explaining to us that “agenbite” (literally 'again bite') is a sort of English rendering of the Latin verb “remordere” (English: remorse), to bite again. “Inwit”, inner wit, is the inner sense of morality, that little voice inside of you that knows right from wrong. So, “agenbite of inwit” is the nagging of one’s conscience.
