@@@@@Not ringing, not bonging, not even
tickingI @@@@@Not ringing, not bonging, not even tickingI breathed deep and smelled the musty, slightly damp aroma of a place that's been shut up for a fairly long time except for the weekly (or bi-weekly) ritual airingI thought I could also smell salt and subtropical grasses for which I as yet had no names Mostly I listened to the sigh of the waves, so like the breath of some large sleeping creature, and looked out through the glass wall that fronted on the waterBecause of Big Pink's elevation, I couldn't see the beach at all from where I was sitting, fairly deep in the living room; from my armchair I might have been on one of those big tankers that trudge their oily courses from Venezuela to GalvestonA high haze had crept over the dome of the sky, muting the pinpricks of light on the waterTo the left were three palm trees 79 silhouetted against the sky, their fronds ruffling in the mildest of breezes: the subjects of my first tentative post-accident sketchDon't look much like Minnesota, dere, Tom Riley had said Looking at them made me want to draw again - it was like a dry hunger, but not precisely in the belly; it made my mind itchAnd, oddly, the stump of my amputated arm I heaved myself out of the chair on my second try, glad the kid wasn't there to see the first backward flop and hear my childish ("Cuntlicker!") cry of exasperationOnce I was up I stood swaying on my crutch for a moment, marveling at just how tired I wasUsually "whipped" was just something you said, but at that moment it was exactly how I felt Moving slowly - I had no intention of falling in here on my first day - I made my way into the master bedroomThe bed was a king, and I wanted nothing more than to go to it, sit on it, sweep the foolish decorative throw-pillows (one bearing the likenessness of two cavorting Cockers and the rather startling idea that MAYBE DOGS ARE ONLY 80 PEOPLE AT THEIR BEST) to the floor with my crutch, lie down, and sleep for two hours But first I went to the bench at the end of the bed - still moving carefully, knowing how very easy it would be to tangle my feet and fall when I was at this level of exhaustion - where the kid had stacked two of my three suitcasesThe one I wanted was on the bottom, of courseI shoved the one on top to the floor without hesitation and unzipped the front pocket of the other Glassy blue eyes looked out with their expression of eternal disapproving surprise: Oouuu, you nasty man! I been in here all this time! A fluff of lifeless orange-red hair sprang from confinement Reba the Anger-Management Doll in her best blue dress and black Mary Janes I lay on the bed with her crooked between my stump and my sideWhen I had made an adequate space for myself among the ornamental pillows (it was mostly the cavorting Cockers I'd wanted on the floor), I laid her beside me "I forgot his name," I said"I remembered it the whole way out here, then forgot it Reba looked up at the ceiling, where the blades of the 81 overhead fan were still and unmo | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 6:51 pm |

@@@@@From
there she would board a domestic @@@@@From there she would board a domestic flight to Paris under any name she chose Fran?ois Bernardine awoke with a start, shooting up on his elbows, frowning, disturbedShe’s on her way to Paris, I know it! The words of the husband who knew her bestShe’s not listed on any flight from any other country coming into ParisParis: The operative word was Paris! But suppose it was not Paris? The Deuxième veteran crawled rapidly out of bed in the early morning light shining through the tall narrow windows of his flatIn fewer minutes than his face appreciated, he shaved, then completed his ablutions, dressed, and walked down into the street to his Peugeot, where there was Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 235 the inevitable ticket on the windshield; alas, it was no longer officially dismissible with a quiet phone callHe sighed, picked it off the glass, and climbed in behind the wheel Fifty-eight minutes later he swung the car into the parking lot of a small brick building in the huge cargo complex of Orly AirportThe building was nondescript; the work inside was notIt was a branch of the Department of Immigration, an all-important arm known simply as the Bureau of Air Entries, where sophisticated computers kept up-to-the-minute records of every traveler flying into France at all the international airportsIt was vital to immigration but not often consulted by the Deuxième, for there were far too many other points of entry used by the people in which the Deuxième was interestedNevertheless, over the years, Bernardine, operating on the theory of the obvious being unnoticed, had sought information from the Bureau of Air EntriesEvery now and then he had been rewardedHe wondered if that would be the case this morning Nineteen minutes later he had his answerIt was the case, but the reward was considerably diminished in value, for the information came too lateThere was a pay phone in the bureau’s lobby; Bernardine inserted a coin and dialed the Pont-Royal “Yes?” coughed the voice of Jason Bourne “I apologize for waking you “I was just getting upThere are two men down in the street far more tired than I am, unless they’re replacements “Relative to last night?

@@@@@The phone-pad doodles of my previous
life @@@@@The phone-pad doodles of my previous life gave no hint of the haunted sunsets I was now doing I wasn't the first person to lose a body-part only to gain something elseIn Fredonia, New York, a logger cut off his own hand in the woods and then saved his life by cauterizing the spouting stump of his wristThe hand he took home, put in a jar of alcohol, and stored in the cellarThree years later the hand that was no longer south of his 188 wrist nevertheless began to feel freezing coldHe went downstairs and discovered a cellar window had broken and the winter wind was blowing in on the jar with his preserved hand floating insideWhen the ex-logger moved the jar next to the furnace, that sense of freezing cold disappeared A Russian peasant from Tura, deep in Siberia, lost his left arm up to the elbow in a piece of farming equipment and spent the rest of his life as a dowserWhen he stood over a spot where there was water, his left hand and arm, although no longer there, would grow cool, with an accompanying sensation of wetnessAccording to the articles I read (there were three), his skills never failed There was a guy in Nebraska who could predict tornadoes by the corns on his missing footA legless sailor in England who was used by his mates as a kind of human fish-finderA Japanese double amputee who became a respected poet - not a bad trick for a fellow who'd been illiterate at the time of the train accident in which he lost his arms Of all the stories, maybe the strangest was that of Kearney Jaffords of New Jersey, a child born 189 without armsShortly after his thirteenth birthday, this formerly well-adjusted handicapped child became hysterical, insisting to his parents that his arms were "hurting and buried on a farm He said he could show them whereThey drove two days, finishing up on a dirt road in Iowa, somewhere between Nowhere and Nowhere in ParticularThe kid led them into a cornfield, took a sighting on a nearby barn with a MAIL POUCH advertisement on the roof, and insisted that they digThe parents did, not because they expected to find anything but because they hoped to set the child's mind and body at rest againThree feet down they found two skeletonsOne was a female child between twelve and fifteenThe other was a man, age undeterminedThe Adair County Coroner estimated these bodies had been in the ground approximately twelve yearsbut of course it could have been thirteen, which was the span of Kearney Jaffords's lifeNeither body was ever identified | | Monday, December 27th, 2010 | | 6:50 pm |

@@@@@It fed upon his jealousy and his indifferent @@@@@It fed upon his jealousy and his indifferent love-making, it came from the nights at home when he had been sleepless and franticFor some reason he found it painful suddenly to think about Gallagher and the abrupt way in which his wife had diedYou look out for everything, he thought, and you still get hit from behindStanley felt a deep malaiseHe stared about him, listening to some artillery fire in the distance, and the anxiety increased, became almost painful for a momentHe was sweating, close to whimperingThe heat of the day, the glare of the sand, and the nervous fatigue from the action, had combined to drain him of any strengthHe was weak and terrified, and he didn't understandOutside of a few uneventful patrols, he had experienced no combatYet now he was feeling an intense loathing and fear at the thought of having any moreHe wondered how he could lead men in combat when he was so terrified himself, and yet he knew that he had to get another stripe, and then another, that he would force himself to move upThere was something wrong, basically upset in himself at that moment, and he muttered to Brown, "Goddam heat makes a man weak He sat there, sweating damplyA vague oppressive horror bothered him "You think you know all the angles, but you never do," Brown said"Like before with that garage deal, you were luckyYou think we knew there were Japs? I'll tell ya, Stanley, it was the same with you thereHow the hell did you know when something was gonna pop? It's the same with my old game, sellingThere's tricks, there's ways to grab the big money, but you're never sure "Yeah," Stanley saidHe was not really listeningStanley was feeling a diffused rebellion at the things that made him worried and envious, made him always ferret for some advantageHe did not know what caused it in himself, but without putting it into words he was brooding that there would be many nights through all the rest of his life when he would lie sweating and restive, prey to all the latest torments of his mind

“I know all @@@@@His sense of decorum is strict “I know all that,” said Tom, displeased“I know my father as well as you do; and I’ll take care that his daughters do nothing to distress himManage your own concerns, Edmund, and I’ll take care of the rest of the family “If you are resolved on acting,” replied the persevering Edmund, “I must hope it will be in a very small and quiet way; and I think a theatre ought not to be attemptedIt would be taking liberties with my father’s house in his absence which could not be justified “For everything of that nature I will be answerable,” said Tom, in a decided tone“His house shall not be hurtI have quite as great an interest in being careful of his house as you can have; and as to such alterations as I was suggesting just now, such as moving a bookcase, or unlocking a door, or even as using the billiard-room for the space of a week without playing at billiards in it, you might just as well suppose he would object to our sitting more in this room, and less in the breakfast-room, than we did before he went away, or to my sister’s pianoforte being moved from one side of the room to the otherAbsolute nonsense!” “The innovation, if not wrong as an innovation, will be wrong as an expense “Yes, the expense of such an undertaking would be prodigious! 113 Jane Austen Perhaps it might cost a whole twenty poundsSomething of a theatre we must have undoubtedly, but it will be on the simplest plan: a green curtain and a little carpenter’s work, and that’s all; and as the carpenter’s work may be all done at home by Christopher Jackson himself, it will be too absurd to talk of expense; and as long as Jackson is employed, everything will be right with Sir ThomasDon’t imagine that nobody in this house can see or judge but yourself Don’t act yourself, if you do not like it, but don’t expect to govern everybody else “No, as to acting myself,” said Edmund, “that I absolutely protest against Tom walked out of the room as he said it, and Edmund was left to sit down and stir the fire in thoughtful vexation Fanny, who had heard it all, and borne Edmund company in every feeling throughout the whole, now ventured to say, in her anxiety to suggest some comfort, “Perhaps they may not be able to find any play to suit themYour brother’s taste and your sisters’ seem very different “I have no hope there, FannyIf they persist in the scheme, they will find somethingI shall speak to my sisters and try to dissuade them, and that is all I can do “I should think my aunt Norris would be on your side “I dare say she would, but she has no influence with either Tom or my sisters that could be of any use; and if I cannot convince them myself, I shall let things take their course, without attempting it through herFamily squabbling is the greatest evil of all, and we had better do anything than be altogether by the ears His sisters, to whom he had an opportunity of speaking the next morning, were quite as impatient of his advice, quite as unyielding to his representation, quite as determined in the cause of pleasure, as | | Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 | | 6:58 pm |
@@@@@He opened it, removing first
the automatic @@@@@He opened it, removing first the automatic and the box of ammunition, then picking up what had to be several hundred computer printouts secured in file foldersSomewhere in those myriad pages was a name that linked a man or a woman to Carlos the JackalFor these were the informational printouts of every guest currently at the hotel, including those who had checked out within the past twenty-four hoursEach printout was supplemented by whatever additional information was found in the data banks of the CIA, Army G-2 and naval intelligenceThere could be a score of reasons why it might all be useless, but it was a place to start Five hundred miles north, in another hotel suite, this on the third floor of Boston’s Ritz-Carlton, there was another tapping on another hotel doorInside, an immensely tall man, whose welltailored pin-striped suit made him appear even larger than his nearly six feet five inches of height, came rushing out of the bedroomHis bald head, fringed by perfectly groomed gray hair above his temples, was like the skull of an anointed éminence grise of some royal court where kings, princes and pretenders deferred to his wisdom, delivered no doubt with the eyes of an eagle and the soaring voice of a prophetAlthough his rushing figure revealed a vulnerable anxiety, even that did not diminish his image of dominanceHe was important and powerful and he knew itAll this was in contrast to the older man he admitted through the doorThere was little that was distinguished about this short, gaunt, elderly visitor; instead, he conveyed the look of defeatQuickly! Did you bring the information?” “Oh, yes, yes, indeed,” answered the gray-faced man whose rumpled suit and ill-fitting collar had both seen better days perhaps a decade ago“How grand you look, Randolph,” he continued in a thin voice while studying his host and glancing around at the opulent suite“And how grand a place this is, so proper for such a distinguished professor “The information, please,” insisted DrRandolph Gates of Harvard, expert in antitrust law and highly paid consultant to numerous industries Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 48 “Oh, give me a moment, my old friendIt’s been a long time since I’ve been near a hotel suite, much less stayed in oneOh, how things have changed for us over the yearsI read about you frequently and I’ve watched you on televisionYou’re so—erudite, Randolph, that’s the word, but it’s not enoughIt’s what I said before—‘grand,’ that’s what you are, grand and eruditeSo tall and imperious “You might have been in the same position, you know,” broke in the impatient Gates | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 7:14 pm |
