It's not Christmas yet for days and days Scarlett was startled to realize that Cat had never seen her in evening dress beforeWhen they had been in Dublin, they'd always dined in their rooms at the hotel "There's a guest coming for dinner," she said, "a dress-up guest The first one at Ballyhara, she thoughtFitz was right all along, I should have done this soonerIt's fun to have company and get dressed upThe Earl of Fenton was an entertaining and polished dinner companionScarlett found herself talking much more than she had intended-about hunting, about learning to ride as a child, about Gerald O'hara and his Irish love of horses Fenton was very easy to talk toSo easy that she forgot what she wanted to ask him until the end of the meal"I suppose your guests will be arriving any minute," she said as the dessert was served "What guests?" Luke held his glass of champagne up to examine the color"Why, for your hunting party," said Scarlett Fenton tasted the wine and nodded approval to the butler"Where did you get that idea?

@@@@@My mouth started to water, even as I @@@@@My mouth started to water, even as I rejected the portion I'd been allotted “We have to eat all the perishables the first day,” Jamie encouraged me“Everyone eats themselves sick–it's a tradition “You need the protein,” Trudy added“We were on cave rations too longI'm surprised no one's in worse shape I ate my protein while Jamie watched with hawk-like attention as each bite traveled from the tray to my mouthI ate it all to please him, though it made my stomach ache to eat so much The kitchen started to fill up again as I was finishingA few had apples in their hands–all sharing with someone elseCurious eyes examined the sore side of my face “Why's everyone coming here now?” I muttered to JamieIt was black outside, the dinner hour long over Jamie looked at me blankly for a second His tone added the wordsof course “Are you kidding me?” “I told you nothing's changed I stared around the narrow roomIt wasn't a full houseNo Doc tonight, and none of the returned raiders, which meant no Paige, eitherNo Jeb, no Ian, no WalterA few others missing: Travis, Carol, Ruth AnnBut more than I would have thought, if I'd thought anyone would consider following the normal routine after such an abnormal day “Can we go back to the Dolphins, where we left off?” Wes asked, interrupting my evaluation of the roomI could see that he'd taken it upon himself to start the ball rolling, rather than that he was vitally interested in the kinship circles of an alien planet Everyone looked at me expectant | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 10:02 am |
@@@@@
"You can't talk to me that way," @@@@@ "You can't talk to me that way," Goldstein saidHe was in a turmoil, revolted by the idea of fighting, yet recognizing the deep necessity for itThe goyim, that's all they know, to fight with their fists, he thoughtHe had the discomfort a display of emotion always roused in him"Let's take it easy," he muttered"You guys'll be getting plenty of fight in a minute"Fightin' over the ArmyAs far as I'm concerned, it's been a goddam mess ever since they put Washington on a horse Toglio interrupted him"You've got the wrong attitude, RedIt ain't decent to talk about George Washington that way Red slapped his knee"You're a regular Boy Scout, ain't you, Toglio? You like the flag, huh?" Toglio thought of a story he had read once, The Man Without a CountryRed was like the man in that, he decided"I think some things aren't fit for kidding," he said severely "You want to know something?" Toglio knew a crack was coming, but against his judgment he asked, "What?" "The only thing wrong with this Army is it never lost a war Toglio was shocked"You think we ought to lose this one?" Red found himself carried away"What have I got against the goddam Japs? You think I care if they keep this fuggin jungle? What's it to me if Cummings gets another star?" "General Cummings, he's a good man," Martinez said "There ain't a good officer in the world," Red stated"They're just a bunch of aristocrats, they thinkGeneral Cummings is no better than I am Their voices were beginning to carry above a whisper, and Croft said, "Let's keep it down The conversation was boring himIt was always the men who never got anywhere that did the bitchi | | Friday, December 31st, 2010 | | 10:03 am |

He talked on and on, explaining thingsHe was so calm, so horribly patient, the way you can be with people you don't care enough about to get mad at them Her mind seized on an almost-forgotten sentence, and she forgot her exhaustionShe had found what she neededYes, yes, she remembered it clearlyRhett had offered her a divorceThen, after her furious rejection of the offer, he had said itScarlett closed her eyes, hearing his voice in her head"I'll come back often enough to keep gossip downShe hadn't won yet, but there was a chance A chance was enough to go on withShe stood up and picked the pine needles off her frock, out of her hairThe muddy yellow Flint River ran slowly and deeply below the ledge that held the pine woodsScarlett looked down and threw in the handful of pine needlesThey swirled away in the current "Moving on," she murmuredDon't look back, what's done is done She squinted up at the bright skyA line of brilliant white clouds was rushing across itThey looked full of windIt's going to get colder, she thought automaticallyI'd better find something warm to wear this afternoon at the burial She turned toward homeThe sloping pasture looked steeper than she remembered | | Thursday, December 30th, 2010 | | 9:55 am |
@@@@@Since I cannot reason with David Webb, I @@@@@Since I cannot reason with David Webb, I must prod Jason BourneA Jackal filled with hate must die, and only Bourne can kill himHere are your hat and sunglassesStay against a wall or you’ll look like a military peacock, your khaki tail raised for the purpose of passing merde Without speaking, Bourne adjusted the visored hat and sunglasses, walked to the door and let himself outHe crossed to the solid wood staircase and started rapidly down, nearly colliding with a white jacketed black steward carrying a tray out of the second-floor exitHe nodded to the young man, who backed away, allowing him to proceed, when a quiet, ziplike noise along with a sudden movement caught in the corner of his eyes caused him to turnThe waiter was pulling an electronic Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 152 beeper out of his pocket! Jason spun around, lurching up the steps, his hands lunging into the youngster’s body, ripping the device out of his grip as the tray crashed to the floor of the landing Straddling the youth, with one hand on the beeper and the other grasping the steward’s throat, he spoke breathlessly, quietly“Who had you do this? Tell me!” “Hey, mon, I fight you!” cried the youngster, writhing, freeing his right hand and smashing a fist into Bourne’s left cheek“We don’t want no bad mon here! Our boss-mon the best! You don’t scare me!” The steward crashed his knee into Jason’s groin “You young son of a bitch!” cried Le Caméléon, slapping the youngster’s face back and forth while grabbing his aching testicles with his left hand“I’m his friend, his brother! Will you cut it out? Johnny Saint Jay’s my brother! In-law, if it makes any goddamned difference!” “Oh?” said the large, youthful, obviously athletic steward, a touch of resentment in his wide, embarrassed brown eyes“You are the mon with Boss Saint Jay’s sister?” “I’m her husbandWho the fuck are you?” “I am first head steward of the second floor, sir! Soon I will be on the first floor because I am very goodI am also a very fine fighter—my father taught me, although he is old now, like youDo you wish to fight more? I think I can beat you! You have gray in your hair—” “Shut up! What’s the beeper all about?” asked Jason, holding up the small brown plastic instrument as he crawled off the young waiter “I don’t know, mon—sir! Bad things have happenedWe are told that if we see men running on the staircases we should press the buttons “Why?” “The lifts, sirOur very fast elevatorsWhy would guests use the stairs?” “What’s your name?” asked Bourne, replacing his hat and, sunglasses “Like in Moby Dick?” “I do not know such a person, s | | Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 | | 9:55 am |

Rhett's voice was speaking, but she paid no attentionShe had to get to CatBehind the boreen, in the wide street of Ballyhara, there were five red-coated bodies and three wearing the rough clothing of farmersThe bookseller lay across the sill of his shattered window, bloodstreaked bubbles falling from his lips with the whispered words of prayerColum 0 'hara prayed with him, then traced a cross on his forehead as the man diedThe broken glass refracted the thin light from the moon that was becoming visible in the rapidly darkening sky Colum crossed the small room in three long stepsNe seized the twig broom on the hearth by its handle and thrust it into the bed of coals It made a crackling sound for a moment, then burst into flameA shower of sparks flew from the torch onto Colum's dark cassock when he ran into the streetHis white hair was brighter than the moon "Follow me, you English butchers," he shouted as he plunged toward the deserted Anglo church, "and we'll die together for the freedom of Ireland Two bullets tore into his broad chest, and he fell to hiskneesBut he staggered to his feet and forward for seven uneven steps more until another three shots spun him right, then left, then right again and to the grou | | Monday, December 27th, 2010 | | 9:55 am |

@@@@@The Japanese heard it, sprang to their feet @@@@@The Japanese heard it, sprang to their feet with sudden cries, and moved a few steps uncertainly back and forth in the tiny circle of the drawRed watched the expression of terror on one soldier's face, heard the sizzling of the grenade, the sound mixing with the ringing in his ears and the pounding of his heart, and then dropped to the ground as Croft lofted the grenade into the drawRed grasped his tommy gun and stared intently at a blade of grassHe had time before the grenade exploded to wish he had cleaned his gun that morningHe heard a terrifying shriek, thought once of the soldier with the broad face, and then found himself afoot, crashing and stumbling through the brush The three of them halted on the edge of the draw and looked downAll four of the Japanese soldiers were lying motionless in the trampled kunai grassCroft gazed at them and spat softly"Go down and take a look," he told Red Red slid down the bank to the gully where the bodies lay sprawledHe could tell at a glance that two of the men were certainly dead; one of them reposed on his back with his hands clawed over the bloody mash of what had once been his face, and the other was crumpled on his side with a great rent in his chestThe other two men had fallen on their stomachs and he could see no wounds "Finish them off," Croft shouted down to him "Finish them off Red felt a pulse of angerIf it'd been anyone else but me, the bastard would have done it himself, he thoughtHe stood over one of the motionless bodies, and brought the sights of his tommy gun to bear on the back of the soldier's headHe took a little breath, and then fired a burstHe felt nothing except the rising quivering motion of the gun in his handsAfter he had fired, he noticed that it was the soldier who had been sitting with his rifle across his thighsThere was an instant in which he hovered on the lip of an intense anxiety, but he repressed it and strode over to the last soldier As he looked down upon him, Red felt a wash of many transient subtle emotionsIf he had been asked, he might have said, "I didn't feel a goddam thing," but the back of his neck was numb, and his heart was beating rapidlyHe had an intense distaste for what he was about to do, and yet as he stared at the body and pointed his sights at the man's neck, he was feeling a pleasurable anticipationHe tightened his finger on the trigger, taking up the slack, tensing himself for the moment when he would fire and the slugs would make round little holes in a cluster, and the corpse would twitch and shake under the force of the bullet | | Saturday, December 25th, 2010 | | 10:03 am |

@@@@@I turned the picture over
again, closed my @@@@@I turned the picture over again, closed my eyes, and pretended I was touching their Kodachrome images with my right handAlthough pretending wasn't what it felt like; I suppose I don't have to tell you that by now After some passage of time - I don't know exactly how long - I returned the picture to its plastic sleeve and submerged her wallet beneath the tissues and cosmetics to approximately the same depth at which I had found itThen I put her purse back on the coffee table and went into my bedroom to get Reba the Anger-Management DollI limped upstairs to Little Pink with her clamped between my stump and my sideI think I remember saying "I'm going to make you into Monica Seles" when I set Reba down in front of the window, but it could as easily have been Monica Goldstein; when it comes to memory, we all stack the deck The gospel according to Wireman 165 I'm clearer than I want to be about most of what happened on Duma, but that particular afternoon seems very vague to meI know that I fell into a frenzy of drawing, and that the maddening itch in my nonexistent right arm disappeared completely while I was working; I do not know but am almost sure that the reddish haze which always hung over my vision in those days, growing thicker when I was tired, disappeared for awhile I don't know how long I was in that stateI think quite awhileLong enough so I was both exhausted and famished when I was finished I went back downstairs and gobbled lunchmeat by the fridge's frosty glowI didn't want to make an actual sandwich, because I didn't want Ilse to know I'd felt well enough to eatLet her go on thinking our problems had been caused by bad mayonnaiseThat way we wouldn't have to spend time hunting for other explanations None of the other explanations I could think of were rational After eating half a package of sliced salami and swilling a pint or so of sweet tea, I went into my bedroom, lay down, and fell into a sodden sleep Sometimes it seems to me that my clearest memories of Duma Key are of orange evening skies that bleed at the bottom and fade away at the top, green to blackWhen I woke up that evening, another day was going down in gloryI thudded into the big main room on my crutch, stiff and wincing (the first ten minutes were always the worst)The door to Ilse's room was standing open and her bed was empty For a moment there was no answerThen she called back from upstairs"Daddy?

No, my dear Edmund, that will not quite do “Besides,” said Maria, “I know that MrCrawford depends upon taking usAfter what passed at first, he would claim it as a promise “And, my dear Edmund,” added MrsNorris, “taking out two carriages when one will do, would be trouble for nothing; and, between ourselves, coachman is not very fond of the roads between this and Sotherton: he always complains bitterly of the narrow lanes scratching his carriage, and you know one should not like to have dear Sir Thomas, when he comes home, find all the varnish scratched off “That would not be a very handsome reason for using Mr Crawford’s,” said Maria; “but the truth is, that Wilcox is a stupid old fellow, and does not know how to driveI will answer for it that we shall find no inconvenience from narrow roads on Wednesday “There is no hardship, I suppose, nothing unpleasant,” said Edmund, “in going on the barouche box “Unpleasant!” cried Maria: “oh dear!

@@@@@"Come on," Goldstein said
Ridges began to @@@@@"Come on," Goldstein said Ridges began to weepHe struggled to a sitting position, and cried with his head on his folded arms, the water swirling around his hips and feetGoldstein stood over him tottering "Mother-fuggin sonofabitch," Ridges mumbledIt was the first time he had cursed since childhood, and the words pulled out of his chest one by one, leaving behind a vacuum of anger and bitternessWilson would not have his burial, but somehow that was not important nowWhat counted was that he had carried this burden through such distances of space and time, and it had washed away in the endAll his life he had labored without repayment; his grandfather and his father and he had struggled with bleak crops and unending povertyWhat had their work come to? "What profit hath man of all his labour wherein he laboureth under the sun?" The line came back to himIt was a part of the Bible he had always hatedRidges felt the beginning of a deep and unending bitternessThe one time they had got a decent crop it had been ruined by a wild rainstormWhat kind of God could there be who always tricked you in the end? The practical joker He wept out of bitterness and longing and despair; he wept from exhaustion and failure and the shattering naked conviction that nothing mattered And Goldstein stood beside him, holding onto Ridges's shoulder to steady himself in the currentFrom time to time he would move his lips, scratch feebly at his face"Israel is the heart of all nations But the heart could be killed and the body still liveAll the suffering of the Jews came to nothingNo sacrifices were paid, no lessons were learnedIt was all thrown away, all statistics in the cruel wastes of historyAll the ghettos, all the soul cripplings, all the massacres and pogroms, the gas chambers, lime kilns -- all of it touched no one, all of it was lostIt was carried and carried and carried, and when it finally grew too heavy it was droppedThat was all there was to | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 10:16 am |

It's such a long shot that Sharon is still human But when I saw her face on the news, I was so sure It was just a normal raid, one of a thousandAs usual when we felt isolated enough, safe enough, we had the TV on as we cleaned out the pantry and fridgeJust to get the weather forecast; there isn't much entertainment in the dead-boring everything-is-perfect reports that pass for news among the parasitesIt was the hair that caught my eye–the flash of deep, almost pink red that I'd only ever seen on one person I can still see the look on her face as she peeked at the camera from the corner of one eyeThe look that said,I'm trying to be invisible; don't see meShe walked not quite slowly enough, working too hard at keeping a casual paceTrying desperately to blend in No body snatcher would feel that need What is Sharon doing walking around human in a huge city like Chicago?
