The Irish writer states that an astronomical object, notable for its timidity, rises in the sky and shudders at the same time. The author also questions who is the performer of a piece of music that is played nearby at the gate. Joyce compares this song to twilight. He turns to the girl, whose name is unknown, and asks her to listen to the content of the aforementioned composition. The Irish writer tells this member of the fair sex that the song is sung by her future spouse.

The author writes that the girl should not wait and try to guess who her fiancé is. Joyce only mentions that he is a singer who periodically disturbs the lady’s sleep. He adds that the groom pours hops into her heart, which has a sweet taste. Moments later, the Irish writer confesses that he himself is that soulmate.
