    @@@@@
    My committee is meeting at the house this afternoon, and I need to
    have
    my wits about meI hope you'll join us, if only for tea
    Margaret will be thereI don't want to pressure you to work, but of
    course if you were interested, I'd be pleasedWe raise money with
    cake sales and bazaars of handcrafts and such for the Confederate
    Home
    for Widows and Orphans God's nightgown, were they all the same,
    these Southern ladies? It was just like Atlanta
    Always Confederate this and Confederate thatCouldn't they admit
    the
    War was over and get on with their lives? She'd have a headache
    Scarlett's step faltered, then resumed its steady pace, matching MrsNo, she'd go to the committee meeting, she'd even work on
    the committee if they asked herShe was never going to make the
    mistakes here she'd made in AtlantaShe was never going to be shut
    out and lonely again, not even if she had to wear the Stars and Bars
    embroidered on her corsets"That sounds mighty nice," she said"I
    was always a little sad that I never had time for extra work in
    AtlantaMy former husband, Frank Kennedy, left a fine business as an
    inheritance for our little girlI felt it was my duty to watch over
    it for her That should take care of that story Rhett was telling
    Eleanor Butler nodded comprehension
    Scarlett lowered her lashes to hide the delight in her eyesButler was resting, Scarlett wandered through the houseShe
    hurried down the stairs to see what Rhett was so busy buying back
    from
    the Yankees for his motherThe place looked mighty bare to her
    Scarlett's eye wasn't educated to appreciate the perfection of what he
    had doneOn the second floor, the magnificent double drawing rooms
    held exquisite sofas, tables, and chairs, placed so that each could be
    appreciated as well as usedScarlett admired the obvious quality of
    the silk upholstery and the well-polished gleam of the wood, but the
    beauty of the space surrounding the furniture escaped her completel

    @@@@@
    The ear-shattering scream was a prolonged shriek of defiance and horror“No, no! I won’t tell
    you! I killed him once, I won’t kill him again! Get away from meeeee !”
    Alex slumped, falling to the floorPeter Holland grabbed him and gently the strong, broadshouldered
    admiral, a veteran of the darkest operations in the Far East, led Conklin silently through
    the door to the nurse“Get him away from here, please
    “Peter,” coughed Alex, trying to stand, collapsing on his false foot“I’m sorry, Christ, I’m
    sorry!”
    “What for?” whispered Holland
    “I should watch but I can’t watch!”
    “I understandIf I were you, I probably couldn’t either

    “No, you don’t understand! Mo said he killed David, but of course he didn’tBut I meant to, I
    really wanted to kill him! I was wrong, but I tried with all the expertise in my bones to kill him!
    And now I’ve done it againIt’s not Mo, it’s me!”
    “Put him against the wall, missLet him sink to the floor and leave us alone
    “Yes, sir!” The nurse did as she was ordered and fled, leaving Holland and Alex alone in the
    antiseptic maze
    “Now, you listen to me, Field Man,” whispered the gray-haired director of the Central
    Intelligence Agency, kneeling in front of Conklin“This fucking merry-go-round of guilt had better
    stop—has got to stop—or nobody’s going to be any good to anybodyI don’t give a good goddamn
    what you or Panov did thirteen years ago, or five years ago, or now! We’re all reasonably bright
    people, and we did what each of us did because we thought they were the right moves at the timeGuess what, Saint Alex? Yes, I’ve heard the termFucking inconvenient,
    isn’t it? Maybe we’re not so brilliant after allMaybe Panov isn’t the greatest behavioral whateverthe-
    hell-it-is; maybe you’re not the shrewdest son of a bitch in the field, the one who got canonized,
    and maybe I’m not the superjock behind-the-lines strategist they’ve made me out to beSo what?
    We take our baggage and go where we have to go
    “Oh, for Christ’s sake, shut up!” yelled Conklin, struggling against the wall
    “Shhh!”
    “Oh, shit! The last thing I need is a sermon from you! If I had a foot, I’d take you

    "Come on back and get another oneI only take the
    sun between two and three - an hour a day is
    enough for me - but Miss Eastlake either sleeps or
    rearranges her china figurines most of the
    afternoon, and of course she never misses Oprah,
    so I have timeMore than I know what to do with,

    about

    his hand and I shook with him again"You know
    what I think? Friendships founded on laughter are

    Walking back, my thoughts turned to Miss Eastlake,
    an old lady in big blue sneakers and a wide straw
    hat who just happened to own (sort of) her own
    Florida KeyNot the Bride of the Godfather after
    all, but Daughter of the Land Baron and,
    apparently, Patroness of the ArtsMy mind had
    done another of those weird slip-slides and I
    couldn't remember her father's name (something
    simple, only one syllable), but I remembered the
    basic situation as Wireman had outlined itI'd
    never heard of anything similar, and when you
    233
    build for a living, you see all sorts of strange
    property arrangementsI thought it was actually
    rather ingeniousif, that was, you wanted to
    keep most of your little kingdom in a state of
    undeveloped graceThe question was, why?
    I was most of the way back to Big Pink before I
    realized my leg was aching like a bastardI
    limped inside, slurped water directly from the
    kitchen tap, then made my way across the living
    room to the main bedroomI saw the light on the
    answering machine was blinking, but I wanted
    nothing to do with messages from the outside world
    right thenAll I wanted was to get off my feet
    I lay down and looked at the slowly revolving
    blades of the overhead fanI hadn't done very
    well explaining my lack of a fake armI wondered
    if Wireman would've had better luck with What's a
    lawyer doing as a rich old spinster's houseman?
    What kind of other life is that?
    Still considering this, I drifted off into a
    dreamless and very satisfying nap

    When I woke up, I took a hot shower, then went
    into the living room to check my answering machine
    I wasn't as stiff as I had expected, given my twomile
    walkI might get up tomorrow hobbling, but
    for tonight I thought I was going to be all rig

    @@@@@ My glowing eyes were a talismanA compass
    @@@@@
    My glowing eyes were a talismanA compass that could not fail–like the North Star,
    undoubtable
    Lying with my body wasnot the keyTelling the truth with it was enoughI had something in
    common with the human baby in the park: nothing like me had ever existed before
    The Seeker's body blocked the light, and I could see againrobably middle-aged–his features conflicted with one another, making it hard to
    tell; his hair was all white, but his face was smooth and unwrinkledHe wore a T-shirt and
    shorts, a blocky gun clearly visible on his hipOne hand rested on the butt of the weaponIn his
    other hand was a dark flashlightHe didn't turn it on
    “Having a problem, miss?” he said when he was a few feet away“You were going much too
    fast for safety
    His eyes were restlessThey swiftly appraised my expression–which was, hopefully, sleepy–and
    then ran along the length of the van, darted into the darkness behind us, flashed forward to the
    stretch of highway ahead, lit by our headlights, and came back to my faceThey repeated the
    course another timeThis knowledge made my palms sweaty, but I tried to keep the panic from my
    voice
    “I'm so sorry,” I apologized in a loud whisperI glanced at Jared, as if checking to see whether
    our words had woken him“I think… well, I think I might have fallen asleepI didn't realize I
    was so tired
    I tried to smile remorsefullyI could tell I sounded stiff, like the too-careful actors on the
    television
    The Seeker's eyes traced their route again, this time lingering on JaredMy heart jumped
    painfully against the inside of my ribs

    @@@@@
    "The only thing to do is to get by on style He had said that once, lived by it in the absence of anything else, and it had been a working guide, almost satisfactory until nowThe only thing that had been important was to let no one in any ultimate issue ever violate your integrity, and this had been an ultimate issueHearn felt as if an immense cyst of suppuration and purulence had burst inside him, and was infecting his blood stream now, washing through all the conduits of his body in a sudden violent flux of changeHe would have to react or die, effectively, and for one of the few times in his life he was quite uncertain of his own abilityIt was impossible; he would have to do something, and he had no idea what to doThe moment was intolerable, the midday heat fierce and airless inside the tent, but he lay motionless, his large chin jammed into the canvas of his cot, his eyes closed, as if he were contemplating all the processes, all the things he had learned and unlearned in his life, and which were free now, sloshing about inside him with the vehemence and the agony of anything that has been suppressed for too long
    "I never thought I would crawfish to him
    That was the shock, that was the thing so awful to realize


    The Time Machine:
    ROBERT HEARN
    THE ADDLED WOMB

    A big man with a shock of black hair and a small sharp voice, a heavy immobile faceHis brown eyes, imperturbable, stared out coldly above the short blunted and slightly hooked arc of his noseHis wide thin mouth was unexpressive, a top ledge to the solid mass of his chinHe liked very few people and most men sensed it uneasily after talking to him for a few minutes

    In the center is the city, lashing at one's senses
    For a thousand, two thousand miles the roads and the earth have led up to itThe mountains have snubbed down to hills, lapsed into plains, rolled on majestically in leisurely convolutions and regroupingsNo one ever really comprehends it, the vast table of America, and the pin points, the accretions, the big city and the iron trails leading to it
    (All the frenetic schemings, the cigar smoke, the coke smoke, the carbolic and retch of the el, the frightened passion for movement of an ant nest suddenly jarred, the vast hurried grabbing plans of thousands of men whose importance is confined to a street, a café, and there is no other sense than one of the presentHistory is remembered with a shrug; its superlatives do not match ours
    The immense ego of city people
    How do you conceive your own death, your own unimportance in all that man-created immensity, through all the marble vaults and brick ridges and the furnaces that lead to the market place? You always believe somehow that the world will end with your deathIt is all more intense, more violent, more rutted than life anywhere else
    And in the humus around the mushroom stem grow the suburbs

    Since we added that last wing, we got twenty-two rooms now, Lord knows what the hell we're gonna do with 'em, Bill Hearn shoutsBut Ina you can't tell her a goddam thing, she figures she needs it, and we go

    news, Scarlett! I had a letter from Rosemary this morningShe'll be

    I should never have dashed off this way, Rhett's going to be furious
    with me
    And I must look awfulIt's bad enough just to show up where I don't
    belong; at least I could look prettyI had it all planned so
    differentShe had thought about it a thousand times, what it would
    be
    like when next she saw RhettSometimes she imagined that he'd
    come
    home to the house late; she'd be in her nightdress, the one with the
    drawstring neck-tied loose and she'd be brushing her hair before
    bedtimeRhett had always loved her hair, he said it was a live thing;
    sometimes in the early days-he'd brush it for her, to see the blue
    cracklings of electricityOften she pictured herself at the tea
    table, dropping a piece of sugar into a cup with the silver tongs
    elegantly held in her fingersShe'd be chatting cozily with Sally
    Brewton, and he'd see how much at home she was, how welcomed by
    Charleston's most interesting peopleHe'd catch up her hand and kiss
    it, and the tongs would drop, but it wouldn't matter Or she was

    Don’t tell me I’m wrong I followed the two of you out to Neuilly—to that chanel tote church with the bells
    ringing and priests everywhere—one of them Carlos! Moments later his whore came back out, but
    you didn’tShe left in a hurry, so I ran inside and described you to an old priest—if he was a

    It wasn't so much a lie as it was an unfinished sentenceI couldn't give her more than that–and
    stay alive myself
    The actual lie had been given to JaredI'd told him, just seconds later, that I didn't know how
    to make myself not existIn the context of our louis vuitton travel discussion, it was trueI didn't know how to fade
    away, here inside MelanieBut I was surprised I hadn't heard the obvious lie right then, hadn't
    seen in that moment what I was seeing nowOf course I knew how to make myself not exist
    It was just that I had never considered tiffany toggle heart that option viable, ultimate betrayal that it was to every
    soul on this planet
    Once the humans knew that I had this answer, the one they had murdered for over and over

    @@@@@ She was walking backwards now,
    half-trampling the train of her gown"I didn't get to say two words
    to Miss Julia Ashley all night because I had to dance with all those
    ridiculous men
    "Who's Miss Julia Ashley?" Scarlett askedThe name commanded her
    interest"She's Rosemary's idol," said Rhett, "and the only person
    I've ever been afraid of in my adult lifeYou would have noticed Miss
    Ashley if you'd seen her, ScarlettShe always wears black, and she
    looks like she's been drinking vinegar

    Rosemary sputteredShe ran to Rhett and hit him on the chest with
    her

    her close to his sideScarlett felt the wind cold off the riverShe
    lifted her chin against it, turned forward and walked the remaining few
    steps to the house alonenother Sunday meant another lecture from
    Eulalie and Pauline, Scarlett was sure of it
    She was, in fact, more than a little frightened about her behavior at
    the BallPerhaps she'd been just a little bit too-lively, that was
    itBut she hadn't had fun like that in so long, and it wasn't her
    fault that she attracted so much more attention than the prissy
    Charleston ladies, was it? Besides, she was really only doing it for
    Rhett, so he would stop being so cold and distant to herNo one could
    blame a wife for trying to hold her marriage togetherShe suffered in
    silence the heavy unexpressed disapproval of her equally silent aunts
    during the walk to and from Saint Mary's
    Eulalie's mournful sniffling during Mass set her teeth on edge, but she
    managed to block it out by daydreaming about the moment when
    Rhett would
    abandon his stiff-necked pride and admit that he still loved herFor
    he did, didn't he? Whenever he held her in his arms to dance she felt
    like her knees had turned to waterSurely she couldn't feel the
    lightning in the air when they touched unless he felt it tooCould
    she? She'd find out soonHe'd have to do more than just rest
    his gloved hand on her waist for dancing when New Year's Eve came
    He'd
    have to kiss her at midnightOnly five more days to get through, and
    then their lips would meet and he'd have to believe how much she
    truly

    red, with an L on the front; the other is blue,
    with a T
    The rip! the girl with the T on her jumper calls,
    holding out her arms in supplication
    The undertow! calls the girl with the L
    And although neither girl appears to be in the

    “It was a hard case, upon my word”; and, “I do think you were
    very much to be pitied,” were the kind responses of listening sympathy
    “It is not worth complaining about; but to be sure the poor old
    dowager could not have died at a worse time; and it is impossible to
    help wishing that the news could have been suppressed for just the
    three days we wantedIt was but three days; and being only a grandmother,
    and all happening two hundred miles off, I think there
    would have been no great harm, and it was suggested, I know; but
    Lord Ravenshaw, who I suppose is one of the most correct men in
    England, would not hear of it
    “An afterpiece instead of a comedy,” said Mr“Lovers’
    Vows were at an end, and Lord and Lady Ravenshaw left to act My
    Grandmother by themselvesWell, the jointure may comfort him;
    and perhaps, between friends, he began to tremble for his credit
    and his lungs in the Baron, and was not sorry to withdraw; and to
    make you amends, Yates, I think we must raise a little theatre at
    Mansfield, and ask you to be our manager
    This, though the thought of the moment, did not end with the

    moment; for the inclination to act was awakened, and in no one
    more strongly than in him who was now master of the house; and
    who, having so much leisure as to make almost any novelty a certain
    good, had likewise such a degree of lively talents and comic
    taste, as were exactly adapted to the novelty of actingThe thought
    returned again and again“Oh for the Ecclesford theatre and scenery

    Henry Crawford, to whom, in all the riot of his gratifications it was
    yet an untasted pleasure, was quite alive at the idea“I really believe,”
    said he, “I could be fool enough at this moment to undertake
    any character that ever was written, from Shylock or Richard III
    down to the singing hero of a farce in his scarlet coat and cocked
    hatI feel as if I could be anything or everything; as if I could rant
    and storm, or sigh or cut capers, in any tragedy or comedy in the
    English languageLet us be doing somethingBe it only half a play,
    an act, a scene; what should prevent us? Not these countenances, I

    It silenced them all, cast a hush through the tent in which even the clacking of the tableware was muted, and then the reaction set in with a chorus of whispers and small exclamations, an uncomfortable self-conscious return to the food before themHearn was furious with himself, disgusted by the relief he had felt when the General womens rolex watches intervened
    Beneath the surface of his thoughts he had known, he realized now, that the General would protect him, and an old confused emotion caught him again, resentment and yet something else, something not so genuine
