    "Christ almighty," Jack whisperedWireman was
    very pale
    "Until then, I don't think Elizabeth understood
    I thought about this, then shrugged"Hell, I
    can't remember how much I understood when I was
    fourBut until then probably the worst thing that
    had ever happened to her in her life - other than
    falling out of that pony-trap, and I'll bet she
    didn't even remember that - was getting turned
    over her Daddy's knee and paddled or having her
    hand slapped for trying to take one of Nan Melda's
    jam tarts before they were cooledWhat did she
    know about the nature of evil? All she knew was
    that Perse was naughty, Perse was a bad doll
    instead of a good doll, she was out of control and
    getting out-of-controller all the time, she had to

    "I think that's right, but you have to take it

    "Take it easy, muchacho," Wireman said
    She tried to draw Perse out of existenceHow does
    one do a thing like that?"
    "Draw and then erase

    "Perse didn't know, I'm almost sure of itBecause
    Elizabeth was able to hide what she meant to do

    if it was her own idea - something she thought up
    by herself at the age of four-"
    "Not beyond belief," Wireman said"In a way, it's

    @@@@@It may hereafter be in my power, or
    in yours (I hope it will), to procure him better preferment; but it
    must not be forgotten that no benefit of that sort would have been
    beyond his natural claims on us, and that nothing can, in fact, be an
    equivalent for the certain advantage which he is now obliged to
    21
    Jane Austen
    forego through the urgency of your debts
    Tom listened with some shame and some sorrow; but escaping as
    quickly as possible, could soon with cheerful selfishness reflect, firstly,
    that he had not been half so much in debt as some of his friends;
    secondly, that his father had made a most tiresome piece of work of
    it; and, thirdly, that the future incumbent, whoever he might be,
    would, in all probability, die very soonNorris’s death the presentation became the right of a Dr
    Grant, who came consequently to reside at Mansfield; and on proving
    to be a hearty man of forty-five, seemed likely to disappoint Mr
    Bertram’s calculationsBut “no, he was a short-necked, apoplectic
    sort of fellow, and, plied well with good things, would soon pop off
    He had a wife about fifteen years his junior, but no children; and
    they entered the neighbourhood with the usual fair report of being
    very respectable, agreeable people
    The time was now come when Sir Thomas expected his sister-inlaw
    to claim her share in their niece, the change in MrsNorris’s
    situation, and the improvement in Fanny’s age, seeming not merely
    to do away any former objection to their living together, but even to
    give it the most decided eligibility; and as his own circumstances
    were rendered less fair than heretofore, by some recent losses on his
    West India estate, in addition to his eldest son’s extravagance, it
    became not undesirable to himself to be relieved from the expense
    of her support, and the obligation of her future provisionIn the
    fullness of his belief that such a thing must be, he mentioned its
    probability to his wife; and the first time of the subject’s occurring
    to her again happening to be when Fanny was present, she calmly
    observed to her, “So, Fanny, you are going to leave us, and live with
    my sisterHow shall you like it?”
    Fanny was too much surprised to do more than repeat her aunt’s
    words, “Going to leave you?”
    “Yes, my dear; why should you be astonished? You have been five
    years with us, and my sister always meant to take you when MrBut you must come up and tack on my patterns all the same
    The news was as disagreeable to Fanny as it had been unexpected
    She had never received kindness from her aunt Norris, and could
    not love her
    22
    Mansfield Park
    “I shall be very sorry to go away,” said she, with a faltering voice
    “Yes, I dare say you will; that’s natural enoughI suppose you have
    had as little to vex you since you came into this house as any creature
    in the world
    “I hope I am not ungrateful, aunt,” said Fanny modestly
    “No, my dear; I hope notI have always found you a very good
    girl
    “And am I never to live here again?”
    “Never, my dear; but you are sure of a comfortable homeIt can
    make very little difference to you, whether you are in one house or
    the other
    Fanny left the room with a very sorrowful heart; she could not feel
    the difference to be so small, she could not think of living with her
    aunt with anything like satisfactionAs soon as she met with Edmund
    she told him her distress
    “Cousin,” said she, “something is going to happen which I do not
    like at all; and though you have often persuaded me into being reconciled
    to things that I disliked at first, you will not be able to do it

    CHAPTER X
    A QUARTER OF AN HOUR, twenty minutes, passed away, and Fanny
    was still thinking of Edmund, Miss Crawford, and herself, without
    interruption from any oneShe began to be surprised at being left
    so long, and to listen with an anxious desire of hearing their steps
    and their voices againShe listened, and at length she heard; she
    heard voices and feet approaching; but she had just satisfied herself
    that it was not those she wanted, when Miss Bertram, MrCrawford issued from the same path which
    she had trod herself, chloe black and were before her
    “Miss Price all alone” and “My dear Fanny, how comes this?” were
    the first salutations“Poor dear Fanny,” cried her
    cousin, “how ill you have been used by them! You had better have
    staid with us
    Then seating herself with a gentleman on each side, she resumed
    the conversation which had engaged them before, and discussed the
    possibility of improvements with much animationNothing was
    fixed on; but Henry Crawford was full of ideas and projects, and,
    generally speaking, whatever he proposed was immediately approved,
    first by her, and then by MrRushworth, whose principal business
    seemed to be to hear the others, and who scarcely risked an new louis vuitton original
    thought of his own beyond a wish that they had seen his friend
    Smith’s place
    After some minutes spent in this way, Miss Bertram, observing
    the iron gate, expressed a wish of passing through it into the park,
    that their views and their plans might be more comprehensiveIt
    was the very thing of all others to be wished, it was the best, it was
    the only way of proceeding with any advantage, in Henry Crawford’s
    opinion; and he directly saw a knoll not half a mile off, which would

    lessen, it ended in MrRushworth’s declaring outright that he would
    go and fetch the keyHe set off accordingly
    “It is undoubtedly the best thing we can do now, as we are so far
    from the house already,” said MrCrawford, when he was gone

    CHAPTER XL
    FANNY WAS RIGHT enough in not expecting to hear from Miss
    Crawford now at the rapid rate in which their correspondence had
    begun; Mary’s next letter was after a decidedly longer interval than
    the last, but she was not right in supposing that such an interval
    would be felt a great relief to herselfHere was another strange revolution
    of mind! She was really glad to receive the letter when it did
    comeIn her present exile from good society, and distance from
    everything that had been wont to interest her, a letter from one
    belonging to the set where her heart lived, written with affection,
    and some degree of elegance, was thoroughly acceptableThe usual
    plea of increasing engagements was made in excuse for not having
    written to her earlier; “And now that I have begun,” she continued,
    “my letter will not be worth your reading, for there will be no little
    offering of love at the end, no three or four lines passionnees from
    the most devoted Hin the world, for Henry is in Norfolk; business
    called him to Everingham ten days ago, or perhaps he only
    pretended to call, for the sake of being travelling at the same time
    that you wereBut there he is, and, by the bye, his absence may
    sufficiently account for any remissness of his sister’s in writing, for
    there has been no ‘Well, Mary, when do you write to Fanny? Is not
    it time for you to write to Fanny?’ to spur me onAt last, after
    various attempts at meeting, I have seen your cousins, ‘dear Julia
    and dearest MrsRushworth’; they found me at home yesterday,
    and we were glad to see each other againWe seemed very glad to see
    each other, and I do really think we were a littleWe had a vast deal
    to sayShall I tell you how MrsRushworth looked when your name
    was mentioned? I did not use to think her wanting in self-possession,
    but she had not quite enough for the demands of yesterday
    Upon the whole, Julia was in the best looks of the two, at least after
    344

    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
    252
    It was 12:37 when Jason, in blue jeans, cap and a dark, tattered V-necked sweater, reached the
    gates of the old factoryHe took out a pack of Gauloise cigarettes and leaned against the wall,
    lighting one with a match, holding the flame longer than necessary before he blew it outHis
    thoughts returned to the enigmatic Santos, the premier conduit in Carlos’s army, the most trusted
    satellite in the Jackal’s orbit, a man whose French might have been formed at the Sorbonne, yet
    Santos was a Latin AmericanA Venezuelan, if Bourne’s instincts had meritAnd
    Santos wanted to see him ‘with peace in his heart Bravo, amigo, thought JasonSantos had
    reached a terrified ambassador in London with a question so loaded it made a political party’s
    private poll look like the essence of nonpartisan neutralityAtkinson had no choice but to state
    emphatically, if not in panic, that whatever instructions Snake Lady issued were to be carried out
    The power of Snake Lady was the ambassador’s only protection, his ultimate refuge
    So Santos could bend; that decision was rooted in intellect, not loyalty, not obligationThe
    conduit wanted to crawl out of his sewer, and with three million francs in the offing, combined with
    a multitude of faraway places across the globe to choose from, the conduit’s mind told him to
    listen, to considerThere were alternatives in life if opportunities were presentedOne had been
    presented to Santos, vassal to Carlos, whose fealty to his lord had perhaps run its suffocating
    courseIt was this instinctive projection that made Bourne include in his plea—calmly but firmly,
    the emphasis in understatement—such phrases as You could travel, disappear a wealthy man,
    free of care and unpleasant drudgeryThe key words were “free” and “disappear,” and Santos’s
    eyes had respondedHe was ready to take the three-million-franc bait, and Bourne was perfectly
    happy to let him break the line and swim with it
    Jason looked at his watch; fifteen minutes had passedNo doubt Santos’s minions were checking
    the streets, a final inspection before the high priest of conduits appearedBourne thought briefly of
    Marie, of the sensations he felt at the Trocadéro, remembering old Fontaine’s words when the two
    of them watched the paths of Tranquility Inn from the high storage room, waiting for CarlosHe’s
    near, I feel itLike the approach of distant thunderIn a different—far different—way Jason had
    like feelings at the TrocadéroEnough! Santos! The Jackal!
    His watch read one o’clock, and the two messengers from the Pont-Royal walked out of the
    alley and across the street to the gates of the old refinery
    “Santos will see you now,” said the voluble

    @@@@@Almost every night Cummings could be counted on to drink an inch or two of Scotch, and with a curious niggardliness he would mark the level of the bottle with a pencil before he put it awayHearn had noticed this with amusement, found it an interesting little quirk in all the contradictions of the General
    But today the liquor level on his bottle of Scotch was at least two and a half inches below the last pencil markCummings had seen that this morning, had rebuked him for drinking it"Are you junior officers getting your liquor supplies?" Only, that was absurdCummings would know better than that
    It could have been ClellanBut it was unlikely Clellan would jeopardize a sinecure like general's orderly merely for a drinkAnd besides, Clellan was shrewd enough to mark the liquor level himself if he wanted to take a nip
    Suddenly, Hearn had an image of Cummings sitting in his tent the night before, about to go to bed, examining thoughtfully the label of his whisky bottleHe might even pick up his pencil, deliberate a moment or two, and then he would leave the bottle unmarked, return it to the closetWhat had his face looked like at that moment?
    This, now, was not funnyNot after the recreation tent and the flowers and KerriganUntil this little episode, he could consider the General's antics as pranks that spewed out of twisted and intense hungersIt had been in a way like the probing banter between friendsAnd frightening, a littleWith all his concerns, with all the pressures upon him, Cummings had had time to concoct these schemes, release a little of the greater frustration he was feeling
    And that basically was what their relationship had always been, Hearn understood at this momentHe had been the pet, the dog, to the master, coddled and curried, thrown sweetmeats until he had had the presumption to bite the master onceAnd since then he had been tormented with the particular absorbed sadism that most men could generate only toward an animalHe was a diversion for the General, and he resented it deeply with a cold speechless anger that came to some extent from the knowledge that he had acquiesced in the dog-role, had even had the dog's dreams, carefully submerged, of someday equaling the masterAnd Cummings had probably understood even that, had been amused
    He remembered a story Cummings had told him about an employee in the War Department who had been discharged after some Communist documents had been planted in his desk
