    @@@@@Still, only the newcomers,
    Candy–who had remembered her correct name at last–and Lacey, could bear to take Wes's old
    spaceI pitied Candy for her future roommate, but the Healer never betrayed any discontent at
    the prospect
    When the rains ended, Jamie would move into a free corner in Brandt and Aaron's cave
    Melanie and Jared had kicked Jamie out of their room and into Ian's before I'd been reborn in
    Pet's body; Jamie wasn't so young that they'd needed to give him any excuse
    Kyle was working on widening the small crevice that had been Walter's sleeping space so that
    it would be ready when the desert was dry againIt really wasn't big enough for more than one,
    and Kyle would not be staying there alone
    At night in the game room, Sunny slept curled into a ball against Kyle's chest, like a kitten who
    was friends with a big dog–a rottweiler whom she trusted implicitlySunny wasalways with
    KyleI couldn't remember ever seeing them unattached since I'd opened these silver gray eyes
    for the first time
    Kyle seemed constantly bemused, too distracted by this impossible relationship he couldn't
    quite wrap his head around to pay attention to much elseHe wasn't giving up on Jodi, but as
    Sunny clung to him, he held her to his side with gentle hands
    Before the rain, every space was taken, so I stayed with Doc in the hospital that no longer
    frightened meThe cots were not comfortable, but it was a very interesting place to beCandy
    remembered the details of Summer Song's life better than her own; the hospital was a place of
    miracles now
    After the rain, Doc would not be sleeping in the hospital anymoreThe first night in the game
    room, Sharon had dragged her mattress right next to Doc's without a word of explanation
    Perhaps it was Doc's fascination with the Healer that motivated Sharon, though I doubted Doc
    had even noticed how pretty the older woman was; his fascination was with her phenomenal
    knowledgeOr maybe it was just that Sharon was ready to forgive and forgetI hoped that was
    the caseIt would be nice to think that even Sharon and Maggie might be softened over time
    I would not stay in the hospital anymore, either
    The crucial conversation with Ian might never have taken place if not for JamieMy mouth
    would go all dry and my palms would sweat whenever I so much as thought of bringing it up
    What if those feelings in the hospital, those few perfect moments of certainty right after I'd
    awoken in this body, had been illusion? What if I remembered them wrong? I knew that nothing
    had changed for me, but how could I be certain Ian felt the same? The body he'd fallen in love
    with was still right here!
    I expected him to be unsettled–we all wereIf it was difficult for me, a soul used to such
    changes, how hard must it be for the humans?
    I was working to put the last of the jealousy and the perplexing echoes of the love I still felt for

    I tried to think of Illy, my If-So-Girl, and was
    horrified to realize I couldn't remember her face
    "Little slag, little horrock, we're working it
    out
    "What?"
    "Snag! Little snag, little hold-up! You fucking
    deaf, Wearman?"
    Was the flashlight sleeve tilting? I feared it was
    Water could be running over my hand and I chanel vintage might
    now be too numb to feel itBut if the sleeve
    wasn't tilting and I tried to correct, I'd make
    matters worse

    it'll be all overYou know that, right?

    "Thank God," I said I could see
    him in front of me, a dim shape with one knee
    between my awkwardly bent legs, planted in the
    litter of disarranged bones that had once been
    part of John Eastlake's eldest diamond gucci daughterI held
    the flashlight sleeve outGently

    longer
    "Luckily," he said, "I have two hands And he put
    one of his over mine, steadying the water-filled
    flashlight as he began screwing the cap back on
    He paused only once, to ask me why I was crying
    When it was done, I took gucci gucci the capped flashlight
    from himIt wasn't as heavy as when it had been
    filled with D-cells, but I didn't care about that
    What I cared about was making sure that the lid

    A little, she will say
    He slows himself, rests his head on her shoulder, relaxing, breathing deeply

    Her smile againDon't worry about me
    He glides through the passage of several neutral minutes, his mind balenciaga city far away, imagining another childThey had the last one after discussing it and agreeing that they wanted a baby, but now he cannot afford another one, and he is wondering if her diaphragm has been set properlyHe thinks he can feel it, which worries himAbruptly, he is conscious of the pressure in his loins, the perspiration on his back, and he halts roughly, chanel logo earrings relaxing again
    How close are you?
    Don't worry about me, Joey
    He is angry suddenlyTell me, how close are you?
    Oh, darling, I won't be able to tonight, it's not important, go ahead, don't mind me, it's not important
    The bickering offends both of them, makes them coldHe dreads his tasteless isolated throe, knows suddenly that he cannot do it, cannot lie cheap rolex afterwards on his bed depressed with failureAnd he leaves her on the bed, and walks over to the window, staring at the drab parchment of the shadeHe is trembling, partially from cold

    the next day; and Fanny had barely time for an unpleasant feeling
    on the occasion, when MrsGrant, with sudden recollection, turned
    to her and asked for the pleasure of her company tooThis was so
    new an attention, so perfectly new a circumstance in the events of
    Fanny’s life, that she was all surprise and embarrassment; and while
    stammering out her great obligation, and her “but she did not suppose
    it would be in her power,” was looking at Edmund for his
    opinion and helpBut Edmund, delighted with her having such an
    happiness offered, and ascertaining with half a look, and half a sentence,
    that she had no objection but on her aunt’s account, could
    not imagine that his mother would make any difficulty of sparing
    her, and therefore gave his decided open advice that the invitation
    should be accepted; and though Fanny would not venture, even on
    his encouragement, to such a flight of audacious independence, it
    was soon settled, that if nothing were heard to the contrary, Mrs
    Grant might expect her
    “And you know what your dinner will be,” said MrsGrant, smiling—”
    the turkey, and I assure you a very fine one; for, my dear,”
    turning to her husband, “cook insists upon the turkey’s being dressed
    to-morrow
    “Very well, very well,” cried DrGrant, “all the better; I am glad
    to hear you have anything so good in the houseBut Miss Price and
    MrEdmund Bertram, I dare say, would take their chanceWe none
    of us want to hear the bill of fareA friendly meeting, and not a fine
    dinner, is all we have in viewA turkey, or a goose, or a leg of mutton,
    or whatever you and your cook chuse to give us
    The two cousins walked home together; and, except in the immediate
    discussion of this engagement, which Edmund spoke of with
    the warmest satisfaction, as so particularly desirable for her in the
    intimacy which he saw with so much pleasure established, it was a
    silent walk; for having finished that subject, he grew thoughtful and
    indisposed for any other

    CHAPTER XXIII
    “BUT WHY should MrsGrant ask Fanny?” said Lady Bertram“How
    came she to think of asking Fanny? Fanny never dines there, you
    know, in this sort of wayI cannot spare her, and I am sure she does
    not want to goFanny, you do not want to go, do you?”
    “If you put such a question to her,” cried Edmund, preventing his
    cousin’s speaking, “Fanny will immediately say No; but I am sure,
    my dear mother, she would like to go; and I can see no reason why
    she should not
    “I cannot imagine why MrsGrant should think of asking her?
    She never did beforeShe used to ask your sisters now and then, but
    she never asked Fanny
    “If you cannot do without me, ma’am—” said Fanny, in a selfdenying
    tone

    Conklin paused, and when he answered his quiet voice conveyed his fear; it was controlled but

    “You’re right the first timeHave you discussed—”
    “Nothing by name,” broke in the retired intelligence officer quickly, firmly
    “You couldn’t,” contradicted Alex With these cryptic words
    Conklin abruptly hung up
    Slowly Bourne did the same, frowning in concernAlex was the one now sounding
    melodramatic, and it was not like him to think that way or act that wayControl was his byword,

    make it seem to Bourne that he no longer trusted the procedures he himself had set up, or even the
    people he was working withOtherwise he would have been clearer, more forthcoming; instead, for
    reasons Jason could not fathom, Alexander Conklin did not want to talk about Medusa or whatever
    he had learned in peeling away twenty years of deceitWas it possible?
    No time! No use, not now, considered Bourne, looking around the huge department storeAlex

    knows what the geography of Kitt Reef might have
    been a hundred and fifty years ago
    I looked at the spread-out lootThe smiling
    middle daughtersThe smiling Daddy, who was soon
    going to have to buy himself a new bathing costume
    And I suddenly decided he hadn't been sleeping
    with the nannyEven a mistress would have
    told him he couldn't have a newspaper photo of
    himself hermes bag taken in that old thingShe would have
    found a tactful reason, but the real one was right
    in front of me, after all these years; even with
    less-than-perfect vision in my right eye, I could

    see itOnly he didn't see it, and
    his daughters didn't see it, eitherLoving eyes

    today and then blabbed to Channel 6, half of
    Florida would show up in their little putt-putts,
    hunting for doubloons and pieces of eight with

    "Ah, but this was another Florida," Wireman said,
    and I remembered Mary Ire using the same phrase
    "John Eastlake was a rich man, and Duma Key was
    his private preserveBesides, there were no
    doubloons, no cheap chanel purses pieces of eight - just moderately
    interesting junk uncovered by a freak stormFor
    weeks he went down and dived where that debris was

    you could practically wade to itAnd sure, he was

    @@@@@This was the grief of a man at the funeral for
    his entire family
    My arms wound around him, not fitting as easily as they used to, and I cried, too
    “I'm sorry,” I said again and againI apologized for everything in those two wordsThat we'd
    ever found this placeThat I'd been the one to take his sisterThat I'd
    brought her back here and hurt him againThat I'd made him cry today with my insensitive
    stories
    I didn't drop my arms when his anguish quieted; I was in no hurry to let him goIt seemed as
    though my body had been starving for this from the beginning, but I'd never understood before
    now what would feed the hungerThe mysterious bond of mother and child–so strong on this
    planet–was not a mystery to me any longerThere was no bond greater than one that required
    your life for another'sI'd understood this truth before; what I had not understood waswhyNow
    I knew why a mother would give her life for her child, and this knowledge would forever shape
    the way I saw the universe

    mind a gun better than this, Jamie His tone was very gentle–it softened the criticismHe
    reached out to tousle Jamie's shaggy hair
    Jamie ducked under Jeb's hand, his face scarlet with mortification

    "Yes," said rich dad"The briar patch is our fear and our greedGoing into our fear and confronting our greed, our weaknesses, our neediness is the way outAnd the way out is through the mind, by choosing our thoughts
    "Choosing our thoughts?" Mike asked, puzzledChoosing what we think rather than reacting to our emotionsInstead of just getting up and going to work to solve your problems, just because the fear of not having the money to pay your bills is scaring youThinking would be taking the time to ask yourself a questionA question like, `Is working harder at this the best solution to this problem?' Most people are so terrified at not telling themselves the truth-that fear is in control-that they cannot think, and instead run out the doorTar baby is in controlThat's what I mean by choosing your thoughts
    "And how do we do that?" Mike asked
    "That's what I will be teaching youI'll be teaching you to have a choice of thoughts to consider, rather than knee-jerk reacting, like gulping down your morning coffee and running out the door

    @@@@@Red gave up the effort to keep his feet dryTheir boat had been circling for over an hour and he was getting dizzyOccasionally a cold fan of spray would drop on them, shocking and abrupt and a trifle painful
    The first wave of soldiers had landed about fifteen minutes ago, and the battle taking place on the beach crackled faintly in the distance like a bonfireIt seemed remote and insignificantTo relieve the monotony Red would peer over the side wall and scan the shoreIt still looked untenanted from three miles out but the ornament of battle was there -- a thin foggy smoke drifted along the waterOccasionally a flight of three dive bombers would buzz overhead and lance toward shore, the sound of their motors filtering back in a subdued gentle rumbleWhen they dove on the beach it was difficult to follow them, for they were almost invisible, appearing as flecks of pure brilliant sunlightThe puff their bombs threw up looked small and harmless and the planes would be almost out of sight when the noise of the explosions came back over the water
    Red tried to ease the weight of his pack by compressing it against the bulkhead of the boatThe constant circling was annoyingAs he looked at the thirty men squeezed in with him, and saw how unnaturally green their uniforms looked against the blue-gray of the troop well, he had to breathe deeply a few times and sit motionlessSweat was breaking out along his back
    "How long is this gonna take?" Gallagher wanted to know"The goddam Army, hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait
    Red had started to light a cigarette, his fifth since their boat had been lowered into the water, and it tasted flat and unpleasant"What do you think?" Red asked"I bet we don't go in till tenIt was not yet eight o'clock
    "Listen," Red went on, "if they really knew how to work these kind of things, we woulda been eating breakfast now, and we woulda got into these crates about two hours from now He rubbed off the tiny ash which had formed on his cigarette"But, naw, some sonofabitchin' looey, who's sleeping right now, wanted us to get off the goddam ship so he could stop worrying about us Purposely, he spoke loud enough for the Lieutenant from the communications platoon to hear him and grinned as the officer turned his back

    @@@@@You have an understanding
    which will prevent you from receiving things only in
    part, and judging partially by the eventYou will take in the whole
    of the past, you will consider times, persons, and probabilities, and
    you will feel that they were not least your friends who were educating
    and preparing you for that mediocrity of condition which seemed
    to be your lotThough their caution may prove eventually unnecessary,
    it was kindly meant; and of this you may be assured, that every
    advantage of affluence will be doubled by the little privations and
    restrictions that may have been imposedI am sure you will not
    disappoint my opinion of you, by failing at any time to treat your
    aunt Norris with the respect and attention that are due to herI must speak to you for a few
    minutes, but I will not detain you long
    Fanny obeyed, with eyes cast down and colour risingAfter a
    moment’s pause, Sir Thomas, trying to suppress a smile, went on
    “You are not aware, perhaps, that I have had a visitor this morning
    I had not been long in my own room, after breakfast, when Mr
    Crawford was shewn inHis errand you may probably conjecture
    Fanny’s colour grew deeper and deeper; and her uncle, perceiving
    that she was embarrassed to a degree that made either speaking or
    looking up quite impossible, turned away his own eyes, and without
    any farther pause proceeded in his account of MrCrawford’s business had been to declare himself the lover of
    Fanny, make decided proposals for her, and entreat the sanction of
    the uncle, who seemed to stand in the place of her parents; and he
    had done it all so well, so openly, so liberally, so properly, that Sir
    Thomas, feeling, moreover, his own replies, and his own remarks to
    have been very much to the purpose, was exceedingly happy to give
    the particulars of their conversation; and little aware of what was
    passing in his niece’s mind, conceived that by such details he must
    be gratifying her far more than himselfHe talked, therefore, for
    several minutes without Fanny’s daring to interrupt himShe had
    hardly even attained the wish to do itHer mind was in too much
    confusionShe had changed her position; and, with her eyes fixed
    intently on one of the windows, was listening to her uncle in the

    utmost perturbation and dismayFor a moment he ceased, but she
    had barely become conscious of it, when, rising from his chair, he
    said, “And now, Fanny, having performed one part of my commission,
    and shewn you everything placed on a basis the most assured
    and satisfactory, I may execute the remainder by prevailing on you
    to accompany me downstairs, where, though I cannot but presume
    on having been no unacceptable companion myself, I must submit
    to your finding one still better worth listening toCrawford, as
    you have perhaps foreseen, is yet in the houseHe is in my room,
    and hoping to see you there
    There was a look, a start, an exclamation on hearing this, which
    astonished Sir Thomas; but what was his increase of astonishment
    on hearing her exclaim—”Oh! no, sir, I cannot, indeed I cannot go
    down to himCrawford ought to know—he must know that: I
    told him enough yesterday to convince him; he spoke to me on this
    subject yesterday, and I told him without disguise that it was very
    disagreeable to me, and quite out of my power to return his good
    opinion
    “I do not catch your meaning,” said Sir Thomas, sitting down
    again“Out of your power to return his good opinion? What is all
    this? I know he spoke to you yesterday, and (as far as I understand)
    received as much encouragement to proceed as a well-judging young
    woman could permit herself to giveI was very much pleased with
    what I collected to have been your behaviour on the occasion; it
    shewed a discretion highly to be commend

    slamming the door when she left the roomWhat a horrid old man!
    Still, she had gotten what she wantedShe smiled at her aunts
    "Everything's all right," she saidFor the remainder of the morning,
    and all afternoon Scarlett cheerfully went along with her aunts to
    leave their cards at the houses of all their friends and acquaintances
    in Savannah they hand-lettered in the lower left corner
    "Pour prendre conget take leave The custom had never beon
    observed
    in Atlanta, but in the older cities of coastal Georgia and South
    Carolina, it was a required ritual
    Scarlett thought it a great waste of time to inform people you were
    leavingEspecially when, only a handful of days earlier, her aunts
    had worn themselves out leaving cards at the same houses to inform
    the
    same people that they had arrivedShe was sure that most of those
    people hadn't bothered to leave cards at the Robillard house
    Certainly there had been no callersOn Saturday she insisted on
    going
    to the train depot with them, and she saw to it that Pansy put their
    valises exactly where they wanted them, in full view so that no one
    could steal themShe kissed their papery wrinkled cheeks, returned
    to
    the busy platform, and waved goodbye while the train chugged out of
    the
    station"We'll stop at the bakery on Broughton Street before we go
    back to the house," she told the driver of the rented carriageIt was
    still a long time until dinnerShe sent Pansy to the kitchen to order
    a pot of coffee and then took off her hat and glovesHow lovely and
    quiet the house was with the aunts goneBut that was definitely a
    film of dust on the hall tableShe'd have to have a few words with
    JeromeThe other servants, too, if necessaryShe wasn't going to

    the second level was colder, far more analytical“What are you driving at?”

    “America” was being prepared, primed for what they knew not
    They found out roughly ten minutes after the destruction of a large part of the diminutive “Great
    Britain Bourne reached the compressed, miniaturized outlines of “Washington, D when the
    conflagration beganThe first to plunge into flames, the sound of its detonation delayed only by
    milliseconds, was the wooden duplicate of the Capitol dome; it blew into the yellowed sky like the
    thin, hollow replica it wasMoments later—only moments—the Washington Monument, centered
    in its patch of grassy park, crumpled with a distant boom as if its false base had been shoveled

    Bourne knew where he was nowThe tunnel was between “Washington” and “New London,
    Connecticut”! It was no more than five minutes away! He drove the jeep down to the street
    paralleling the river, and again there were frightened, hysterical crowdsThe police were shouting
    through loudspeakers, first in English and then in Russian, explaining the terrible consequences if
    anyone tried to swim across the water, the searchlights swinging back and forth, picking up the
    floating bodies of those who had tried in the northern compounds
    “The tunnel, the tunnel! Open the tunnel!”
    The screams from the excited crowds became a chant that could not physically be denied; the
    underground pipeline was about to be assaultedJason leaped out of the surrounded jeep, pocketing
    the remaining three flares, and propelled his way, arms and shoulders working furiously, often
    fruitlessly, through the crushing, crashing bodiesThere was nothing else for it; he pulled out a
    flare and ripped the release from its recessThe spewing flame had its effect; heat and fire were
    catalystsHe ran through the crowd, pummeling everyone in front of him, shoving the blinding,
    spitting flare into terrified faces, until he reached the front and faced a cordon of guards in the
    uniforms of the United States ArmyIt was crazy, insane! The world had gone nuts!
    No! There! In the fenced-off parking lot was the fuel truck! He broke through the cordon of
    guards, holding up his computerized release card, and ran up to the soldier with the highest-ranking
    insignia on his uniform, a colonel with an AK-47 strapped to his waist who was as panicked as any
    officer of high rank he had ever seen since Saigon
    “My identification is with the name ‘Archie’ and you can clear it immediatelyEven now I
    refuse to speak our language, only English! Is that understood? Discipline is discipline!”
    “Togda?” yelled the officer, questioning the moment, then instantly returning to English in a
    maddeningly Boston accent“Of course, we know of you,” he cried, “but what can I do? This is an
    uncontrollable riot!”
    “Has anyone passed through the tunnel in the last, say, half hour?”
    “No one, absolutely, no one! Our orders are to keep the tunnel closed at all costs!”
    “GoodGet on the loudspeakers and disperse the crowdsTell them the crisis has passed and
    the danger with it
    “How can I? The fires are everywhere, the explosions everywhere!”
    “They’ll stop soon
