    @@@@@Half my daylight hours were lived in
    @@@@@Half my daylight hours were lived in darknessAnd I'd been here
    too many timesThere was never anything lurking under the water's surface, waiting to pull me
    under
    I knew I didn't have time to soak, thoughOthers would be up soon, and some people liked to
    start their day cleanI got to work, washing myself first, then moving on to my clothesI
    scrubbed at my shirt fiercely, wishing I could scrub out my memory of the past two nights
    My hands were stinging when I was done, the dry cracks on my knuckles burning worst of allI
    rinsed them in the water, but it made no noticeable differenceI sighed and climbed out to get
    dressed
    I'd left my dry clothes on the loose rocks in the back cornerI kicked a stone by accident, hard
    enough to hurt my bare foot, and it clattered loudly across the room, bouncing off the wall and
    landing with a plunk and a gurgle in the poolThe sound made me jump, though it wasn't all
    that loud next to the roar of the hot river in the outer room
    I was just shoving my feet into my scruffy tennis shoes when my turn was up
    “Knock, knock,” a familiar voice called from the dark entry
    “Good morning, Ian,” I saidDid you sleep well?”
    “Ian's still sleeping,” Ian's voice answered“I'm sure that won't last forever, though, so we'd
    best get on with this
    Splinters of ice pinned my joints in place
    I'd noticed it before, and then forgotten it in the long weeks of Kyle's absence: not only did Ian
    and his brother look very much alike, but–when Kyle spoke at a normal volume, which so rarely
    happened–they also had exactly the same voiceI was trapped in this black hole with Kyle at the door
    Keep quiet!Melanie shrieked in my headThere was no air to scream with
    Listen!
    I did as I was told, trying to focus in spite of the fear that stabbed through my head like a
    million slender spears of ice
    I couldn't hear anyth

    Scarlett frowned at both of themWas that all? All that to-do about
    changing from "Miss Ashley" and "MrButler" to "Rhett" and "Miss
    Julia"? Rhett was an ass, just like the old woman saidBut "Miss
    Julia" was mighty close to acting like an ass herselfWhy, she was
    practically simpering at RhettIt was nothing short of disgusting the
    way he could wrap women around his little finger! A maid hurried into
    the room and lifted the tray of tea things from the table in front of
    the setteeShe was followed by a second maid, who quietly moved
    the
    tea table to a place in front of Julia Ashley, and a manservant with a
    larger silver tray holding a different, larger silver service and
    stands of fresh sandwiches and cakesScarlett had to admit it: no
    matter how disagreeable Julia Ashley might be, the old woman did
    things
    with style! "Rhett tells me you're to make the Tour, Rosemary," said
    Julia"Yes, ma'am! I'm so excited I could die
    "That would be inconvenient, I should imagineTell me, have you
    begun
    to map your itinerary?"
    "Not really, Miss JuliaI've only known for a few days that I was
    goingThe only thing I'm certain of is that I want to spend as long
    as possible in Rome
    "You must be sure to time it correctly
    The summer heat is quite intolerable, even for a CharlestonianAnd
    the Romans all abandon the city for the mountains or the seaI still
    correspond with some delightful people whom you would enjoy
    I'll give you letters of introduction, of courseIf I might suggest
    "Oh, please, Miss JuliaThere's so much I want to know
    Scarlett breathed a small sigh of reliefShe didn't put it past Rhett
    to tell Miss Ashley about the mistake she'd made, thinking that the
    only Rome was in Georgia, but he'd let the chance go by
    Now he was putting his two cents in, talking a blue streak with the old
    woman about all the people with strange namesAnd Rosemary
    lapping it
    all upThe conversation interested Scarlett not at

    @@@@@ "What do you need me for,
    @@@@@
    "What do you need me for, General?"
    "We'll discuss that when we get to the tent Between them for the moment there was some antagonismThey walked on in silence, their feet crunching into the gravel walkOnly one or two men passed by them in the darkness; with the night, almost all activity halted in the bivouacAbout them in the rough ellipse of their area Hearn could feel almost tangibly the ring of enlisted men sitting in their foxholes on guard"Quiet tonight," he muttered,
    "Yes
    At the entrance to the General's tent, another collision occurredHearn halted at the tent flaps to allow the General to precede him, and Cummings in turn put his hand on Hearn's back to indicate that he was to go firstThey both started at once, and Hearn sideswiped the General, felt him recoil a foot or two from the weight of Hearn's big body There was no answer for a moment, and in a little spasm of anger Hearn separated the flaps and walked in aheadWhen Cummings followed, his face was extremely pale and his lower lip showed the indentation of two teethEither the collision had hurt him more than Hearn had thought or he was disturbed enough to pinch his lipBut why? It would be more characteristic for Cummings to find amusement in the situation
    Still defiant, Hearn sat down without permissionThe General seemed about to say something and then was silentHe took the other chair, which faced his desk, shifted it slightly to face Hearn, and stared at him impassively for almost a minuteHe had an entirely new expression on his face, one Hearn had never seen beforeThe bald gray eyes with their immense and startling white pupils seemed dulledHearn had the impression that he could touch the surface of Cummings's eyeballs, and the eyes would not blinkIn the slight pinch of his mouth, the constriction of the muscles at all the vertices of his face, there seemed a curious pain
    With a little shock, Hearn wondered at the tensions that had made the General seek him outIt must have been humiliatingEven more, there was no artifice about it now, no suggestion of work for him on the General's clean furled deskHearn stared at the map of Anopopei that lay tacked to a large drawing boardThe ocarina on which the General played his little tune

    @@@@@Forcibly, their charge in a sweating, erratically breathing trance,
    the five men walked rapidly to the front of the restaurant; there the uncontrollable hysteria again
    seized the Chameleon
    The Jackal’s van was goneCarlos had reversed his line of flight and escaped and Jason Bourne
    had gone mad
    “Hold him!” roared Krupkin, kneeling beside Jason as the two aides pinned Bourne to the
    groundThe KGB officer reached down and spread his hand across the American’s face, gouging
    his cheeks with thumb and forefinger, forcing Treadstone Seventy-one to look at him“I’ll say this
    once, MrBourne, and if it doesn’t sink in, you may stay here by yourself and take the
    consequences! But we must leaveIf you get hold of yourself, we’ll be in touch with the proper
    officials of your government within the hour from ParisI’ve read the warning to you and I can
    assure you your own people are capable of protecting your family—as your family was explained
    to me by AlekseiBut you, yourself, must be part of that communicationYou can become rational,
    MrBourne, or you can go to hellWhich will it be?”
    The Chameleon, straining against the knees pinning him to the ground, exhaled as if it were his
    final breathHis eyes came into focus and he said, “Get these bastards off me
    “One of those bastards saved your life,” said Conklin
    “And I saved one of theirs
    The armor-plated Citro?n sped down the country road toward the Paris highwayOn the
    scrambled cellular telephone, Krupkin ordered a team to Epernon for the immediate removal of
    what was left of the Russian backup vehicleThe body of the slain man had been placed carefully
    in the Citro?n’s trunk, and the official Soviet comment, if asked for, was one of noninvolvement:
    Two lower-level diplomatic staff had gone out for a country lunch when the massacre occurred
    Several killers were in stocking masks, the others barely seen as the staff members escaped through
    a back door, running for their livesWhen it was over they returned to the restaurant, covering the
    victims, trying to calm the hysterical women and the lone surviving manThey had called their
    superiors to report the hideous incident and were instructed to inform the local police and return at
    once to the embassySoviet interests could not be jeopardized by the accidental presence at the
    scene of an act of French criminality
    “It sounds so Russian,” Krupkin said
    “Will anyone believe it?” Alex wonder

    In any case, I hardly knew where I wasI had my
    canvas collection pouch slung over my shoulder,
    because carrying it when I was on the beach was
    now second nature, but I never put a single shell
    or bit of flotsam in itI just plodded along,
    swinging my bad leg without really feeling it,
    listening to the wind whistle past my ears without
    really hearing it, and watching the peeps scurry
    in and out of the surf without really seeing them
    I thought: I killed him just as surely as I killed

    Elizabeth was seated there in her wheelchair, with
    a breakfast tray attached to the armsFor the
    first time since I'd met her, she was strapped in
    The tray, littered with curds of scrambled egg and
    pieces of toast, looked like the aftermath of a
    toddler's mealWireman had even been feeding her
    juice from a sippy cupThe small table-model
    television in the corner was tuned to Channel 6
    It was still All Candy, All of the TimeHe was
    dead and Channel 6 was beating off on the bodyHe
    undoubtedly deserved no better, but it was still
    gruesome

    "I think she's finished," Wireman said, "but maybe
    you'd sit with her while I scramble you a couple
    and burn the toast
    "Happy to, but you don't have to go to any trouble
    on my partI worked late and had a bite
    afterwardI'd spied the empty
    mixing bowl in the kitchen sink on my way outHow's your leg this morning?"
    "Not bad"Et tu, Brute?"
    "I'm all right, thanks But he looked tired; his
    left eye was still red and drippy"This won't

    Red sighed to himselfStanley's ambition made him contemptuous, but there was an uneasy basis to his scorn which he partially understoodHe was the least bit enviousThe contradiction ended by depressing himAaah, he thought, every man jack eats his heart out, and what does it get him? He could see Stanley rising higher and higher in the months to come, and yet he would never be happyAny of us'll be lucky if we don't get a clutch prada bullet in our gutHe felt his skin tightening across his back, and despite himself he turned around to look at the bare metal wall of the bow rampSince the day when he had lain helpless on the ground waiting for the Japanese soldier to kill him he had been feeling a recurring anxietyOften in the night he would awaken with a start, and turn around in his blankets, trembling unreasonably

    Gallager thought, They're out to get ME
    And Croft felt a paralyzing instant of fear while the Japanese charged across the river and he sat tied hand and foot by his machine gunThe second burst of fire loosed his bonds, and he roared, "COME AND GET ME!" The sweat formed on his face, and then he was crawling along the ground toward Wilson's gun"RECON, UP, UP ON THE LINE!" he bellowedHe was still uncertain whether they were on the river or not
