  • Trim convinces Toby to move to Shandy Hall to build fortifications.
  • He reads aloud a sermon, standing at the perfect 85 degree angle of incidence.
  • Somehow, talk turns to Trim's brother, who was tortured by the Spanish Inquisition. Trim weeps. Copiously.
  • Trim takes weights from the window-sash for fortifications. He manfully admits his mistake after the window circumcises Tristram.
  • After Bobby dies, Trim gives a speech to the servants about the shortness of life. They're overwhelmed with his oratory.
  • Still in love with the sound of his own voice, he recites the Commandments during a religious argument.
  • Along with the whole Shandy crew, Trim heads off on the trip to Europe.
  • He happily sacrifices his hookahs to build a smoking mechanism for the fortifications.
  • Trim tells Toby a sexy story about his affair with a nun. Toby interrupts him just before he gets to the good part.
  • After helping Toby get dressed and plan his attack on Mrs. Wadman, he flirts with Bridget.
