    “And?” broke in Gates, lurching forward in the chair, his eyes suddenly wide, rigid
    “He said to tell you that le grand professeur owed him twenty thousand dollars and ‘he’ wasn’t
    where he was supposed to be last night, which I assumed was the RitzOh, Christ, he doesn’t understandWhat did you say?”
    “I didn’t like his language or his attitudeI told him I hadn’t the vaguest idea where you were
    He knew I was lying, but there wasn’t anything he could doLying’s something he knows about

    Edith walked over to the phone“It’s your very private line,” she said as she picked it up on the

    @@@@@Scarlett could drive herself
    instead of all the complications of taking the trainShe left very
    early in the morning when it was still coolHer horses were suffering
    from the heat, despite being sponged down four times a dayEven
    she
    had started to feel it; she felt twitchy and sweaty almost all night
    when she was trying to sleepThank heaven it was AugustThe
    summer
    was almost done, if it would only admit itThe sky was still tinged
    with pink, but there was already a haze of heat in the distance
    Scarlett hoped she'd calculated the time right for the tripShe'd
    like to have her horse and herself in the shade when the sun was full
    upI wonder if Nan Sutcliffe will be up? She never looked like an
    early riser to meI wouldn't mind having a cool bath and
    changing my clothes before I see anybodyI do hope there's a decent
    maid for me here, not like that ham-handed idiot at the Giffords'She
    practically tore the sleeves off my frocks hanging them up
    Fitz is right, she usually is
    But I don't want a personal maid hanging around me every minute of
    my
    lifePeggy Quinn does all I need at home, and if people want me to
    come visit they'll just have to put up with me not bringing my maidI
    really should give a house party myself, to pay back all the
    hospitality I oweEveryone has been so kind I can say this year was just too hot, plus I was
    worried about the farms Two men stepped from shadows on each
    side
    of the roadcaught the horse's bridle; the other was pointing a
    rifleScarlett mind raced, her heart did tooWhy hadn't she thought
    to bringrevolver with her? Maybe they'd just take her rig and her

    "Hell he will," Red said"We're going to be sitting around all night"You wouldn't mind that, would you, Valsen?"
    "Not meI'm no hero," Red said
    Some soldiers walked past in the darkness, and a few trucks pulled into the bivouacWyman lay down on the groundHe was a little chagrined that he would spend his first night in combat trying to fall asleepThe water soaked through his shirt, which was already wet, and he sat up again, shiveringThe air was very sultryHe wished he could light a cigarette
    They waited another half hour before receiving the order to moveCroft stood up and followed their guide while the rest trailed behindThe guide led them into a patch of brush where a platoon of men was grouped around six antitank gunsThey were 37s, small guns about six feet long with very slender barrelsOne man could pull one gun without too much difficulty over level hard ground
    "We're going along with antitank up to First Battalion," Croft said"We got to pull two of them guns

    herHad she accepted him as she ought, they might now have been
    on the point of marriage, and Henry would have been too happy
    and too busy to want any other objectHe would have taken no
    pains to be on terms with MrsIt would have all
    ended in a regular standing flirtation, in yearly meetings at Sotherton
    and Everingham Could you have believed it possible? But the charm
    is broken
    “Cruel!” said Fanny, “quite cruelAt such a moment to give way
    to gaiety, to speak with lightness, and to you! Absolute cruelty
    “Cruelty, do you call it? We differ thereNo, hers is not a cruel
    natureI do not consider her as meaning to wound my feelingsThe
    evil lies yet deeper: in her total ignorance, unsuspiciousness of there
    being such feelings; in a perversion of mind which made it natural
    to her to treat the subject as she didShe was speaking only as she
    had been used to hear others speak, as she imagined everybody else
    would speakHers are not faults of temperShe would not voluntarily
    give unnecessary pain to any one, and though I may deceive
    myself, I cannot but think that for me, for my feelings, she would—
    Hers are faults of principle, Fanny; of blunted delicacy and a corrupted,
    vitiated mindPerhaps it is best for me, since it leaves me so
    little to regretGladly would I submit to all the
    increased pain of losing her, rather than have to think of her as I do
    “Did you?”
    “Yes; when I left her I told her so
    “How long were you together?”

    remained now to be done was to bring about a marriage between

    was obliged to pause more than once as he continued“‘We must
    persuade Henry to marry her,’ said she; ‘and what with honour, and

    @@@@@My God, we’re hound’s-tooth Boston! In New York City it’s standard procedure:
    Leave your money with the bailiff, enough for everyone
    “I’m not referring to Boston, I’m talking about why you’re here
    “That’s an oversimplification but essentially correctAs I told you, the man who paid me to find
    out where you’d gone also paid me an additional large sum of money to keep the information to
    myselfUnder the circumstances, and because I have no pressing schedule of appointments, I
    thought it logical to pursue the inquiryAfter all, if the little I knew brought so much, how much
    more might come to me if I learned a little more?”
    “You talk of Gallic logic, monsieur?” inserted the Frenchman
    “It’s simple interrogatory progression,” replied the former judge, briefly glancing at Jean Pierre
    before turning back to Marie“However, my dear, I may have glossed over an item that was
    extremely helpful in negotiations with my clientTo put it plainly, your identity was being withheld
    and protected by the governmentIt was a strong point that frightened a very strong and influential
    man
    “I want his name,” said Marie
    “Then I must have protection, too,” rejoined Prefontaine
    “You’ll have it—”
    “And perhaps something more,” continued the old disbarred attorney“My client has no idea I
    came here, no knowledge of what’s happened, all of which might fuel the fires of his largess if I
    described what I’ve experienced and observedHe’d be frightened out of his mind even to be

    Amazon, I really deserve more
    “Am I then to be rewarded for saving your life, monsieur?”
    “If I had anything of value—other than my legal expertise, which is yours—I’d happily share it
    If I’m given anything, that still holds, Cousin
    “Merci bien, Cousin
    “D’accord, mon ami, but never let the Irish nuns hear us
    “You don’t look like a poor man, Judge,” said John St
    “Then appearances are as deceiving as a long-forgotten title you so generously useI should
    add that my wants are not extravagant, for there’s no one but myself, and my creature comforts do
    not require luxury
    “You’ve lost your woman, too, then?”
    “Not that it’s any of your damn business, but my wife left me twenty-nine years ago, and my
    thirty-eight-year-old son, now a successful attorney on Wall Street, uses her name and when
    questioned by curious people tells them he never knew meI haven’t seen him since he was ten; it

    myself to tryKyle was probably twice my weight, and he had a much longer reach
    I raised the hand with the pebbles and aimed them toward the back passage to the latrine
    Maybe I could make him think that I was going to hide and hope for rescueI threw the handful
    of small stones and shied away from the noise when they clattered against the rock wall
    The breath at the door again, the sound of a light footfall headed toward my decoyI edged as
    quietly along the wall as I could
    What if there are two?

    He's coming through the pool! Run!

    "We you coming-to-get, Yank," the voice screamed
    "COME AND GET ME YOU SONSOFBITCHES," Croft roaredHe shouted with every fiber of his body as though he plunged at an oaken door
    There was no sound at all for perhaps ten seconds, nothing but the moonlight on the river and the taut rapt buzzing of the cricketsThen the voice spoke again"Oh, we come, Yank, we come
    Croft pulled back the bolt on his machine gun, and rammed it homeHis heart was still beating with frenzy "ReconRECON, UP ON THE LINE," he shouted with all his strength
    A machine gun lashed at him from across the river, and he ducked in his holeIn the darkness, it spat a vindictive white light like an acetylene torch, and its sound was terrifyingCroft was holding himself together by the force of his willHe pressed the trigger of his gun and it leaped and bucked under his handThe tracers spewed wildly into the jungle on the other side of the river
    But the noise, the vibration of his gun, calmed himHe directed it to where he had seen the Japanese gunfire and loosed a volleyThe handle pounded against his fist, and he had to steady it with both handsThe hot metallic smell of the barrel eddied back to him, made what he was doing real againHe ducked in his hole waiting for the reply and winced involuntarily as the bullets whipped pastBEE-YOOWWWW!

    this minute Whatever Mammy commanded, Scarlett promised to do
    There was never time enough to obey before Mammy slid back into
    unconsciousness, or that other world where Scarlett did not exist
    During the day and evening Suellen or Lutie or even Will would share
    the work of the sickroom, and Scarlett could snatch a half hour's
    sleep, curled in the sagging rocking chairBut at night Scarlett kept
    solitary vigilShe lowered the flame in the oil lamp and held Mammy's
    thin dry hand in hersWhile the house slept and Mammy slept, she
    was
    able at last to cry, and her heartbroken tears eased her pain a
    little
    Once, in the small quiet hour before dawn, Mammy woke"What for is
    you weeping, honey?" she whispered"Old Mammy is ready to lay
    down
    her load and rest in the arms of the LordThere ain't no call to take
    on so Her hand stirred in Scarlett's, freed itself, stroked
    Scarlett's bent head
    Nothing's so bad as you think
    "I'm sorry," she sobbed, "I just can't stop crying Mammy's bent
    fingers pushed Scarlett's tangled hair away from her face"Tell old

    @@@@@All the tables were occupied save one at the
    far end of the enclosed pavement; the hum of luncheon conversation was punctuated by the tinkling
    of wine bottles gently touching wineglasses and the delicate clatter of utensils lowered on china
    platesThe decibel level of the conversation was suddenly reduced, and the general, aware that his
    presence inevitably brought stares, amiable waves and not infrequently mild applause, smiled
    benignly at no one in particular and yet at everyone as he guided his lady to the deserted table
    where a small folded card read Réservé
    The owner, with two waiters trailing behind him like anxious egrets, practically flew between
    the tables to greet his distinguished guestWhen the commander was seated, a chilled bottle of
    Corton-Charlemagne was presented and the menu discussedA young Belgian child, a boy of five
    or six, walked shyly up to the table and brought his hand to his forehead; he smiled and saluted the
    generalTeagarten rose to his feet, standing erect, and saluted the child back
    “Vous êtes un soldat distingué, mon camarade,” said the general, his commanding voice ringing
    through the sidewalk café, his bright smile winning the crowd, who responded with appreciative
    applauseThe child retreated and the meal continued
    A leisurely hour later, Teagarten and his lady were interrupted by the general’s chauffeur, a
    middle-aged army sergeant whose expression conveyed his anxietyThe commander of NATO had
    received an urgent message over his vehicle’s secure phone, and the chauffeur had had the presence
    of mind to write it down and repeat it for accuracyHe handed Teagarten the note
    The general stood up, his tanned face turning pale as he glanced around the now-half-empty
    sidewalk café, his eyes narrowed, angry, afraidHe reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded
    wad of Belgian franc notes, peeled off several large ones and dropped them on the table“Come
    on,” he said to the woman majorYou”—he turned to his driver—“get the car
    started!”
    “What is it?” asked his luncheon companionArmbruster and DeSole are dead
    “Oh, my God! How?”
    “It doesn’t matterWhatever they say is a lie
    “What’s happening?”
    “I don’t knowI just know we’re getting out of hereCome on!”
    The general and his lady rushed through the latticework archway, across the wide pavement and
    into the military vehicleOn either side of the hood, something was missingThe middle aged
    sergeant had removed the two red-and-gold flags denoting the impressive rank of his superior, the
    commander of NATOThe car shot forward, traveling less than fifty yards when it happened
    A massive explosion blew the military vehicle into the sky, shards of glass and metal, pieces of
    flesh and streaks of blood filling the narrow street in Anderle

    I lay looking up at the ceiling with the silver
    harpoon beside me on the bedtableI listened to
    the steady rush of the wind and the steady tumble
    of the surfI remember thinking, This is going to
    be a long night
    I dreamed of little Libbit's sistersNot the Big
    Meanies; the twins
    The twins were running
    The big boy was chasing them

    I woke with most of my body on the floor but one
    leg - my left - still propped on the bed and fast
    asleepOutside, the wind and surf continued to
    880
    roarInside, my heart was pounding almost as hard
    as the waves breaking on the beachI could still
    see Tessie going down - drowning while those soft
    and implacable hands clasped her calvesIt was
    perfectly clear, a hellish painting inside my head
    But it wasn't the dream of the little girls
    fleeing the frog-thing that was making my heart
    pound, not the dream that caused me to wake up on
    the floor with my mouth tasting like copper and
    every nerve seeming to burnIt was, rather, the
    way you wake from a bad dream realizing that you
    forgot something important: to turn off the stove,
    for instance, and now the house is filled with the
    smell of gas
    I pulled my foot off the bed and it hit the floor
    in a burst of pins and needlesI rubbed it,
    grimacingAt first it was like rubbing a block of
    wood, but then that numb sensation started to
    leaveThe sensation that I'd forgotten something

    dream might try to bar our way, but I had an idea
    those were essentially wraiths - excellent for
    dealing with six-year-old girls, not so good
    against grown men, especially when armed with

    @@@@@
    A fine lady in a country parsonage was quite out of placeHer
    store-room, she thought, might have been good enough for MrsInquire where she would, she could not find out
    that MrsGrant had ever had more than five thousand pounds
    Lady Bertram listened without much interest to this sort of invective
    She could not enter into the wrongs of an economist, but she
    felt all the injuries of beauty in MrsGrant’s being so well settled in
    life without being handsome, and expressed her astonishment on
    that point almost as often, though not so diffusely, as MrsNorris
    discussed the other
    These opinions had been hardly canvassed a year before another
    event arose of such importance in the family, as might fairly claim
    some place in the thoughts and conversation of the ladiesSir Thomas
    found it expedient to go to Antigua himself, for the better arrangement
    of his affairs, and he took his eldest son with him, in the
    hope of detaching him from some bad connexions at homeThey
    left England with the probability of being nearly a twelvemonth
    absent
    The necessity of the measure in a pecuniary light, and the hope of
    its utility to his son, reconciled Sir Thomas to the effort of quitting
    the rest of his family, and of leaving his daughters to the direction of
    others at their present most interesting time of lifeHe could not
    think Lady Bertram quite equal to supply his place with them, or
    rather, to perform what should have been her own; but, in Mrs
    28
    Mansfield Park
    Norris’s watchful attention, and in Edmund’s judgment, he had sufficient
    confidence to make him go without fears for their conduct
    Lady Bertram did not at all like to have her husband leave her;
    but she was not disturbed by any alarm for his safety, or solicitude
    for his comfort, being one of those persons who think nothing can
    be dangerous, or difficult, or fatiguing to anybody but themselves
    The Miss Bertrams were much to be pitied on the occasion: not
    for their sorrow, but for their want of itTheir father was no object
    of love to them; he had never seemed the friend of their pleasures,
    and his absence was unhappily most welcomeThey were relieved
    by it from all restraint; and without aiming at one gratification that
    would probably have been forbidden by Sir Thomas, they felt themselves
    immediately at their own disposal, and to have every indulgence
    within their reachFanny’s relief, and her consciousness of it,
    were quite equal to her cousins’; but a more tender nature suggested
    that her feelings were ungrateful, and she really grieved because she
    could not grieve“Sir Thomas, who had done so much for her and
    her brothers, and who was gone perhaps never to return! that she
    should see him go without a tear! it was a shameful insensibility
    He had said to her, moreover, on the very last morning, that he
    hoped she might see William again in the course of the ensuing
    winter, and had charged her to write and invite him to Mansfield as
    soon as the squadron to which he belonged should be known to be
    in England“This was so thoughtful and kind!” and would he only
    have smiled upon her, and called her “my dear Fanny,” while he said
    it, every former frown or cold address might have been forgotten
    But he had ended his speech in a way to sink her in sad mortification,
    by adding, “If William does come to Mansfield, I hope you
    may be able to convince him that the many years which have passed
    since you parted have not been spent on your side entirely without
    improvement; though, I fear, he must find his sister at sixteen in
    some respects too much like his sister at ten She cried bitterly over
    this reflection when her uncle was gone; and her cousins, on seeing
    her with red eyes, set her down as a hypocrite

    CHAPTER IV
    TOM BERTRAM had of late spent so little of his time at home that he
    could be only nominally missed; and Lady Bertram was soon astonished
    to find how very well they did even without his father, how
    well Edmund could supply his place in carving, talking to the steward,
    writing to the attorney, settling with the servants, and equally
    saving her from all possible fatigue or exertion in every particular
    but that of directing her letter
