  • Three cheers: cp the Three quarks that opened II.4, in which HCE and ALP (as Tristan and Isolde) launch their sex life. Here, HCE and ALP (as Mr and Mrs Porter) bring the curtain down on their sex life. Thus two sets of cheers book-end the sex life of HCE and ALP.
  • tiers: galleries in a theatre or opera house, from which come the cheers and rounds of applause now that the comedy (HCE and ALP's sex life) is finished.
  • tears: It will all end in tears. Life usually does.
