- England → HCE is a protestant
- a gloss for Silence, cunning, and exile: This is a reference to the three oaths Stephen Dedalus swears himself to in Portrait, Chapter 5: "I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile and cunning."
