    @@@@@It would not be unpleasant sitting here, contemplating going to the latrine, if he had nothing to worry aboutIn the distance an artillery battery had fired, sending a moody echo through the sultry morning airThe Major picked up the field telephone on his desk and cranked it twice"Give me Potential Red Easy," he grunted at the operator
    He asked for the Commanding Officer of E Company"Listen, Windmill, this is Lanyard," he saidHe was using the code names
    "What do you want, Lanyard?"
    "I got a patrol report this morning from youNumber 318, you know the one I mean?"
    "Yes
    "Is the goddam thing true? And let's have it, WindmillIf one of your boys made it up and you cover for him, I'll have your ass over a barrelI checked on it myself, I talked to the squad leaderHe swears he didn't goof-off
    "All right, I'm going to proceed on the --" the Major looked for the word he had heard so often -- "on the assumption that it's okayAnd Heaven help ya if it isn't
    The Major mopped his face againWhy did the General have to be away on this of all days? He had a subdued resentment that Cummings had not foreseen itHe should get something in motion right away but he was confusedInstead, he decided to go to the latrine
    Sitting on the boards, feeling the sun bake sentiently on his exposed belly, the Major tried to thinkBut other things distracted himThe latrine stench was extremely powerful on this hot morning and he noticed it, made a decision to have a detail dig a new officers' latrine that afternoonHis red face sweated profusely in the open sunThis time they would have a canopy built over itHe stared morosely at the bamboo enclos

    Our fingers were stiff and clumsy as we twisted the cap from the top of the canteenIt wasn't
    all the way full, but there was enough water to stretch the walls of our belly again–it must have
    shrunkWe drank it all; we were done with rationing
    We dropped the metal canteen to the sand, where it made a dull thud in the predawn silence
    We felt wide womens rolex watches awake nowWe sighed, preferring unconsciousness, and let our head fall into our
    handsWhat now?
    “Why did you give it water, Jeb?” an angry voice demanded, close behind our back
    We whirled, twisting onto our kneesWhat we saw made our heart falter and our awareness
    splinter apart
    There were eight humans half-circled around where I knelt under the prada bag treeThere was no
    question they were humans, all of themI'd never seen faces contorted into such
    expressions–not on my kindThese lips twisted with hatred, pulled back over clenched teeth
    like wild animalsThese brows pulled low over eyes that burned with fury
    Six men and two women, some of them very big, most of them bigger than meI felt the mulberry bag blood
    drain from my face as I realized why they held their hands so oddly–gripped tightly in front of
    them, each balancing an objectSome held blades–a few short ones like
    those I had kept in my kitchen, and some longer, one huge and menacingThis knife had no
    purpose in a kitchenMelanie supplied the name: amachete
    Others held long bars, some metal, chanel classic bag some wooden
    I recognized Uncle Jeb in their midstHeld loosely in his hands was an object I'd never seen in
    person, only in Melanie's memories, like the big knife
    I saw horror, but Melanie saw all this with wonder, her mind boggling at their numbersEight

    "And cera?" Wireman asked
    "Let it go for now," I said"But it's strange -
    just this one piece of paper
    "A little odd, maybe, but not completely strange,"
    Wireman said"If you were a widower with young
    daughters, would you want to take your
    bootlegger's last receipt with you into your new
    life?"
    I considered it, and decided he had a point
    but I'd probably destroy it, along with my stash
    of French postcards"We'll never know how much
    incriminating paperwork he did destroyExcept for having a little drinkie now and
    then with his pals, his hands may have been
    975
    relatively clean He put a hand
    on my shoulder
    And if something's out to get us, maybe something
    else is looking out for usIsn't
    that possible?"
    "It would be nice to think so, anywayLet's see
    if there's anything else

    It seemed at first there wasn'tWe poked around
    all the downstairs rooms and found nothing but
    near-disaster when my foot plunged through the
    flooring in what must once have been the dining
    roomWireman and Jack were quick, however, and at
    least it was my bad leg that went down; I had my
    good one to brace myself with
    There was no hope of checking above ground-level
    The staircase went all the way up, but beyond the
    landing and a single ragged length of rail beside
    it, there was only blue sky and the waving fronds
    of one tall cabbage palmThe second floor was a
    remnant, the third complete toastWe started back
    toward the kitchen and our makeshift step-down to
    976
    the outside world with nothing to show for our
    exploration but an ancient note announcing a booze
    deliveryI had an idea what cera might mean, but
    without knowing where Perse was, the idea was
    useless
    Why else make it so fucking hard to get here?
    Wireman was in the lead, and he stopped so
    suddenly I ran into himJack ran into me,
    whacking me in the butt with the picnic basket
    "We need to check the stairs," Wireman saidHe
    spoke in the tone of a man who can't believe he

    I am one of the exceptions, and being one, must do something
    for myself
    “‘But why are you to be a clergyman? I thought that was always
    the lot of the youngest, where there were many to chuse before
    him
    “Do you think the church itself never chosen, then?”
    “Never is a black wordBut yes, in the never of conversation, which
    means not very often, I do think itFor what is to be done in the
    church? Men love to distinguish themselves, and in either of the
    other lines distinction may be gained, but not in the churchA
    clergyman is nothing
    “The nothing of conversation has its gradations, I hope, as well as
    the neverA clergyman cannot be high in Chanel Purse state or fashionHe must
    not head mobs, or set the ton in dressBut I cannot call that situation
    nothing which has the charge of all that is of the first importance
    to mankind, individually or collectively considered, temporally
    and eternally, which has the guardianship of religion and morals,
    and consequently of the manners which result from their influence
    No one here can call the office nothingIf the man who holds
    it is so, it is by the neglect of his duty, by foregoing its just importance,
    and stepping out of his place to appear what he ought not to
    appear
    “You assign greater consequence to the clergyman than one has been
    used to hear wallet chanel given, or than I can quite comprehendOne does not see
    much of this influence and importance in society, and how can it be
    acquired where they are so seldom seen themselves? How can two
    sermons a week, even supposing them worth hearing, supposing the
    preacher to have the sense to prefer Blair’s to his own, do all that you
    speak of? govern the conduct and fashion the manners of a large congregation
    for the rest of the week? One scarcely sees a clergyman out
    of his pulpit

    the kingdomWe do not look in great cities for our best morality
    It is not there that respectable people of any denomination can
    do most good; and it certainly is not there that the influence of the
    clergy can be most feltA fine preacher is followed and admired;
    but it is not in fine preaching only that a good clergyman will be
    useful in his parish and his neighbourhood, where the parish and
    neighbourhood are of a size capable of knowing his private character,
    and observing his general conduct, which in London can rarely
    be the caseThe clergy are lost there in the crowds of their rolex submariner replica parishioners
    They are known to the largest part only as preachersAnd with
    regard to their influencing public manners, Miss Crawford must
    not misunderstand me, or suppose I mean to call them the arbiters
    of good-breeding, the regulators of refinement and courtesy, the
    masters of the ceremonies of lifeThe manners I speak of might
    rather be called conduct, perhaps, the result of good principles; the
    effect, in short, of those doctrines which it is their duty to teach and
    recommend; and it will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the
    clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the
    nation

    What the fug is it to Croft? he wondered
    It would be easy to kill himCroft would be at the point and all he would have to do would be to raise his rifle, take aim, and the patrol would be overHe rubbed his thigh slowly, absorbed and uneasy from the force with which it appealed to him
    It was no way to thinkHis superstitious dread came back; each time he thought like this he was preparing his own punishmentIt was Croft's fault that Roth had been killedHe really couldn't be blamed
    Gallagher heard a sound behind him and startedIt was Martinez rubbing his head nervously"Sonbitch, no sleep," Martinez said softly

    @@@@@Yates’s accompanying them
    and spending the evening at the ParsonageYates, having
    never been with those who thought much of parental claims, or
    family confidence, could not perceive that anything of the kind was
    necessary; and therefore, thanking them, said, “he preferred remaining
    where he was, that he might pay his respects to the old gentleman
    handsomely since he was come; and besides, he did not think
    it would be fair by the others to have everybody run away
    Fanny was just beginning to collect herself, and to feel that if she
    staid longer behind it might seem disrespectful, when this point
    was settled, and being commissioned with the brother and sister’s
    apology, saw them preparing to go as she quitted the room herself
    to perform the dreadful duty of appearing before her uncle
    Too soon did she find herself at the drawing-room door; and after
    pausing a moment for what she knew would not come, for a courage
    which the outside of no door had ever supplied to her, she turned the
    lock in desperation, and the lights of the drawing-room, and all the
    collected family, were before herAs she entered, her own name caught
    her earSir Thomas was at that moment looking round him, and
    saying, “But where is Fanny? Why do not I see my little Fanny?”—
    and on perceiving her, came forward with a kindness which astonished
    and penetrated her, calling her his dear Fanny, kissing her affectionately,
    and observing with decided pleasure how much she was
    grown! Fanny knew not how to feel, nor where to lookShe was quite
    oppressedHe had never been so kind, so very kind to her in his life
    His manner seemed changed, his voice was quick from the agitation
    of joy; and all that had been awful in his dignity seemed lost in tenderness
    He led her nearer the light and looked at her again—inquired
    particularly after her health, and then, correcting himself, observed
    that he need not inquire, for her appearance spoke sufficiently
    on that pointA fine blush having succeeded the previous paleness of
    her face, he was justified in his belief of her equal improvement in
    health and beautyHe inquired next after her family, especially William:
    and his kindness altogether was such as made her reproach herself
    for loving him so little, and thinking his return a misfortune; and
    155
    Jane Austen
    when, on having courage to lift her eyes to his face, she saw that he
    was grown thinner, and had the burnt, fagged, worn look of fatigue
    and a hot climate, every tender feeling was increased, and she was
    miserable in considering how much unsuspected vexation was probably
    ready to burst on him
    Sir Thomas was indeed the life of the party, who at his suggestion
    now seated themselves round the fireHe had the best right to be
    the talker; and the delight of his sensations in being again in his
    own house, in the centre of his family, after such a separation, made
    him communicative and chatty in a very unusual degree; and he
    was ready to give every information as to his voyage, and answer
    every question of his two sons almost before it was putHis business
    in Antigua had latterly been prosperously rapid, and he came directly
    from Liverpool, having had an opportunity of making his
    passage thither in a private vessel, instead of waiting for the packet;
    and all the little particulars of his proceedings and events, his arrivals
    and departures, were most promptly delivered, as he sat by Lady
    Bertram and looked with heartfelt satisfaction on the faces around
    him—interrupting himself more than once, however, to remark on
    his good fortune in finding them all at home—coming unexpectedly
    as he did—all collected together exactly as he could have wished,
    but dared not depend onRushworth was not forgotten: a most
    friendly reception and warmth of hand-shaking had already met
    him, and with pointed attention he was now included in the objects
    most intimately connected with MansfieldThere was nothing disagreeable
    in MrRushworth’s appearance, and Sir Thomas was liking
    him already
    By not one of the circle was he listened to with such unbroken,
    unalloyed enjoyment as by his wife, who was really extremely happy
    to see him, and whose feelings were so warmed by his sudden arrival
    as to place her nearer agitation than she had been for the last
    twenty yearsShe had been almost fluttered for a few minutes, and
    still remained so sensibly animated as to put away her work, move
    Pug from her side, and give all her attention and all the rest of her
    sofa to her husbandShe had no anxieties for anybody to cloud her
    pleasure: her own time had been irreproachably spent during his
    absence: she had done a great deal of carpet-work, and made many
    156
    Mansfield Park
    yards of fringe; and she would have answered as freely for the good
    conduct and useful pursuits of all the young people as for her own
    It was so agreeable to her to see him again, and hear him talk, to
    have her ear amused and her whole comprehension filled by his
    narratives, that she began particularly to feel how dreadfully she
    must have missed him, and how impossible it would have been for
    her to bear a lengthened absenceNorris was by no means to be compared in happiness to her
    sisterNot that she was incommoded by many fears of Sir Thomas’s
    disapprobation when the present state of his house should be known,
    for her judgment had been so blinded that, except by the instinctive
    caution with which she had whisked away MrRushworth’s pink
    satin cloak as her brother-in-law entered, she could hardly be said
    to shew any sign of alarm; but she was vexed by the manner of his

    @@@@@
    By the time they were twelve years old, Scarlett and her sisters had
    the imperatives of the catechism firmly implanted by their mother's
    patient teachingú Now Scarlett squirmed with guilt because she had
    neglected all religious observance for so many yearsHer mother
    must
    be weeping ú in heavenOh, why did her mother's sisters have to live
    in Charleston? Nobody in Atlanta had ever expected her to go to
    MassButler wouldn't have fussed at her, or at worst, she might have
    expected her to go to the Episcopal church with herThat wouldn't be
    so badScarlett had some vague notion that God didn't pay attention
    to anything that happened in a Protestant churchBut He would know
    the minute she stepped over the threshold of Saint Mary's that she
    was
    a fearful sinner who hadn't been to Confession since since-she
    couldn't even remember the last timeShe wouldn't be able to take
    Communion, and everyone would know that was whyShe imagined
    the
    invisible guardian angels Ellen had told her about when she was a
    childAll of them were frowning; Scarlett pulled the covers up over
    her headShe didn't know that her concept of religion was as
    superstitious and ill-formed as any Stone Age man'sShe only knew
    that she was frightened and unhappy and angry that she was trapped
    in a
    dilemmaWhat was she going to do? She remembered her mother's
    serene
    candlelit face telling her family and her servants that God loved the
    stray lamb most of all, but it wasn't much comfortShe couldn't think
    of any way to get out of going to MassIt wasn't fair! Just when
    things had started to go so well, tooButler had told her that
    Sally Brewton gave very exciting whist parties and she was sure to be
    invitedScarlett did, of course, go to MassTo her surprise the
    ancient ritual and the responses were strangely comforting, like old
    friends in the new life she was beginningIt was easy to remember
    her
    mother when her lips were murmuring the Our Father, and the smooth
    beads of the rosary were so familiar to her fingersEllen must be
    pleased to see her there on her knees, she was sure, and it made her
    feel goodBecause it was inescapable, she made a Confession and
    went
    to see Carreen, tooThe convent and her sister turned out to be two
    more surprisesScarlett had always imagined convents as fortresslike

    Paris traffic is an endless enigma regardless of the hour of day or nightIt also provides palpable

    Magdalen Sisters of Charity, especially for the officious superior hen on the single rear pointAt an
    intersection of the rue Lecourbe in Montparnasse, a congestion of produce trucks prevented her
    from keeping up with her religious colleaguesBenignly she waved them on and abruptly turned
    into a narrow side street, suddenly pedaling faster than beforeBourne, his wound from Tranquility
    Isle now pulsating throughout his neck, did not increase his pace; he did not have toThe whitelettered
    blue sign on the building fronting the street read IMPASSE, a dead end; there was no other
    way out
    He found the bicycle chained to an extinguished street lamp and waited in the darkness of a
    doorway no more than fifteen feet awayHe raised his hand and touched the warm moistness of the
    bandage around his neck; the bleeding was slightWith luck, no more than one suture had burst
    Oh, Christ, his legs were tired—no, “tired” was inadequateThey ached with the pain that came
    with unused and abused muscles; the rhythmic strides of jogging, even running, were no
    preparation for lurching or weaving, or for violently sudden stops and startsHe leaned against the
    stone, breathing heavily, his eyes on the bicycle, trying to suppress a thought that kept recurring
    with infuriating regularity: only a few short years ago, he would never have noticed the discomfort
    in his legsThere would have been none
    The sound of an unlatched bolt broke the stillness of the predawn narrow street, followed rapidly
    by the grating noise of a heavy door being openedIt was the entrance to the flat in front of the
    chained bicycleHis back against the wall, Jason removed the gun from his belt and watched the
    woman in the nun’s habit rush to the lamppostShe fumbled with a key in the dim light, awkwardly
    trying to insert it into the base of the lockBourne stepped out on the pavement and walked swiftly,
    silently forward
    “You’ll be late for early Mass,” he said
    The woman spun around, the key flying into the street, her black cloth snapping in the turn as
    she plunged her right hand between the folds of her habitJason lurched, gripping her arm with his
    left hand and tearing off the large white hat with his rightAt the sight of the exposed face in front
