    @@@@@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

    “For you, I will lose with grace,” Wes told her, and then set her free

    LIEUTENANT (SG) DOVE finished covering his bare legs with sand and groaned"Oh, God, it's brutal," he exclaimed
    "What's brutal?" Hearn asked
    Dove wiggled his toes through the sandMy God, a hot day like thisA year ago I was in Washington, and if you think there weren't some parties thereOh, this goddam climate
    "I was in Washington about a year and a half ago," Conn said in his whisky voiceHearn sighed to himself, and eased himself slowly down on the gucci for sale sand, letting his head touch the ground, exposing his chest to the sunIts heat was palpable, and he could feel the sun boring through his eyelids, exciting his retina into blind and angry circles of redFrom the jungle a dank sulphurous breeze was exuded from time to time like the draft from an oven when the door is opened
    Hearn sat up again, folded his forearms over his hairy knees, and stared about the beachSome of the officers who had come down with them Tiffany Bracelets were swimming now, and a few others were playing bridge on a blanket inside the shade of a peripheral coconut tree which leaned over the beachAbout a hundred yards away on a small sand spit there was the occasional sharp ineffectual pop of a carbine as Major Dalleson threw a pebble into the air and fired at itThe water had deepened in color from its almost transparent early-morning blue to a deep violet, and the sun glittered over it like the reflections tiffany 925 from a rainy pavement at nightAbout a mile to the right a lone landing craft was chugging leisurely in toward shore after having transferred a load of supplies from one of the freighters anchored out in the water
    Sunday at the beachIt was a little incredibleIf you added a few striped beach umbrellas, the average quota of women and children, this would be indistinguishable from any of the more exclusive beaches at which his family had bathed one summer or black chanel bag anot

    chilly since I was here before dinner, was her first thoughtHot
    coffee's going to taste goodShe drank the first cup quickly and was
    about to ask for another when Eleanor Butler laughed and gestured
    toward the street"Here comes my committee," she said"I'd
    recognize that sound anywhere Scarlett heard it, too, a tinkling of
    tiny bells
    She ran to the railing above the street to lookA pair of horses was
    racing toward her, pulling a handsome dark green brougham with
    yellow-spoked wheelsThe wheels gave off silver flashes of light and
    also the merry jingling soundThe carriage slowed, then stopped in
    front of the houseScarlett could see the bells then, sleigh bells
    attached to a leather strap that was woven around and through the
    yellow spokesShe'd never seen such a thingNor had she ever seen
    anyone like the driver on the high seat on the front of the carriage
    It was a woman, wearing a dark brown riding habit and yellow gloves
    She was half standing, pulling on the traces with all her might, her
    ugly face screwed up with determination; she looked for all the world
    like a dressed-up monkeyThe brougham's door opened and a
    laughing
    young man stepped out onto the mounting block before the houseHe
    held out his handA stout lady took it and stepped from the
    carriage
    She, too, was laughing
    The young man helped her down from the carriage block, then handed
    down
    a younger woman with a broad smile on her face"Come inside,
    dear,"
    MrsButler said, "and help me with the tea things

    @@@@@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

    @@@@@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

    @@@@@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

    “There’s a bank on the rue de Grenelle that the Deuxième frequently usesThey can be

    all the same to you, MrsFitzpatrick, before the heavy rain starts

    shoes

    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,

    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

    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

    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
