    They picked up their rifles, and filed out of the hollow, heading back toward the field where they had been ambushedThey moved silently, strung out in a long column, each man ten yards apartThe sun was moving toward the west, and it glared in their Chanel Necklaces eyesThey were a little reluctant now
    They followed in reverse the route of their retreat, moving quickly without any attempt at concealment except when they crossed a ridgeThe country was dotted with groves of bushes and trees, but they gave them only a cursory examinationCroft was certain Wilson had hermes replica been wounded in the ambush, and hadn't left the field
    It took them less than half an hour to reach the ledge, and they advanced toward it stealthily, crouching close to the groundThere seemed no one about, no sound at allCroft bellied forward over the rock slab, raised his head slowly, and searched the chloe black f

    Obviously miserable, Leach squatted behind Dalleson and hopped around for a few seconds trying to find the proper angle"Will you throw a practice pebble up, Major?" Leach askedDalleson flipped one in the air"Let's get these dry runs over," he grumbled
    "All right, I'm ready now, Major
    Dalleson bent over, straightened, and fired at the pebble when it was at the top of the parabolaHe missed, and turned around to Leach"Let's try another one
    "All right," Leach said grudgingly
    This time Dalleson hit the pebble, but Leach had reacted too late, and he snapped the shutter after the pebble fragments were dispersed"Goddammit, man!" Dalleson roared
    "I'm doing my best, Major
    "Well, let's not drop the ball next time Dalleson threw away the pebbles in his hand and searched for a larger one
    "This's the last picture in the roll, Major
    "Hell, we'll make it Dalleson wiped the sweat out of his eyes again, bent over, and stared at his kneesHis heart was beating a little rapidly"You snap it soon's you hear the carbine go off," he growled
    Up went the pebble and his rifle pointing after itThere was a panicky instant when he couldn't locate it in his sights, and then as it started to fall he caught it over the front-leaf sight, adjusted instinctively, and felt the reassuring minor jolt of the stock, the slight kick, as he pressed the trigger

    Scarlett was still half in a trance from the spell of the musicShe
    looked vaguely at the windows and was jolted back to realityThe cup of tea she'd come for had stretched into
    hours

    reached for the bowl of butter"Would you please pass the syrup,
    Scarlett?" Scarlett's hand reached out automatically, but she knocked
    over the pitcher, spilling the syrupShe wasn't ready
    to see Rhett's mother yet
    She'd only met Eleanor Butler once, at Bonnie's funeral, and she had
    almost no memory of her, except that MrsButler was very tall and
    dignified and imposingly silentI know I'll have to see her, Scarlett
    thought, but not now, not yetHer heart pounded and
    she dabbed clumsily with her napkin at the spreading stickiness on the
    tablecloth"Scarlett, dear, don't rub the stain into the cloth like
    that Pauline put her hand on Scarlett's wristScarlett jerked her
    hand awayHow could anyone worry about some silly old tablecloth at
    a

    it, and we have so few of our nice things left Eulalie's voice
    faded mournfullyScarlett clenched her teethShe wanted to
    scream
    What did a tablecloth matter when she had to face the mother Rhett
    practically worshipped?
    Suppose he'd told her the truth about why he'd left Atlanta, that he
    had walked out on the marriage? "I'd better go look at my clothes,"
    Scarlett said through the constriction in her throat
    "Pansy'll have to press the wrinkles out of whatever I'm going to

    broadly and announced his presence as well as his mission“Buckingham Pritchard at your service,
    gentlemenI’ve brought a few delicacies from the sea for your collegial gathering before the
    evening meal which I have personally attended to at the side of the chef who has been known to be
    prone to errors without expert guidance which I was all too happy to provide
    “Collegial?” said Alex“I got out of college damn near thirty-five years ago
    “It obviously didn’t take where the nuances of English are concerned,” mumbled Morris PanovPritchard, aren’t you terribly hot in those clothes? I’d be sweating like a pig
    “No nuances there, only an unproven cliché,” muttered Conklin
    “I do not perspire, sir,” replied the assistant manager
    “I’ll bet my pension you ‘perspired’ when MrJacques came back from Washington,”
    offered Alex“Christ almighty, Johnny a ‘terrorist’!”
    “The incident has been forgotten, sir,” said Pritchard stoicallySaint Jay and Sir Henry

    “Savvy, very savvy,” observed Conklin
    “I’ll set up the canapés, gentlemen, and check the iceThe others should be here in a matter of
    minutes
    “That’s very kind of you,” said Panov
    David Webb leaned against the balcony archway watching his wife as she read the last pages of
    a children’s story to their sonCooper was dozing in a chair, her magnificent
    black head, crowned by a fleece of silver and gray, kept nodding above her full chest as if she
    expected at any moment to hear sounds from the infant Alison beyond the half-closed door that was

    music in figures, his wife might have been an actress, mused DavidShe had the surface attributes
    of that precarious profession—striking features, a commanding presence, the sine qua non that
    forced both men and women to fall silent and pensively appraise her when she walked down a
    street or entered a room
    “You can read to me tomorrow, Daddy!”
    The story was over, attested to by his son jumping off the couch and MrsCooper flashing her
    eyes open“I wanted to read that one tonight,” said Webb defensively, moving away from the arc

    @@@@@"If you're going to
    Sarasota Memorial, I'll drop you off She saw me
    hesitate and smiled crookedly"Mary's had very
    little to drink tonight, I assure you, and in any
    case, the Sarasota traffic goes from clogged to
    almost zero after ten PM - the old folks take
    their Scotch and Prozac and then curl up to watch
    Bill O'Reilly on TiVoThe door clunked when it shut, and for
    one alarming moment I thought my ass was going to
    keep descending until it was actually on Palm
    AvenueFinally my downward motion stopped
    "Listen, Edgar," she said, then hesitated"Can I
    still call you Edgar?"
    "Of courseI couldn't remember with
    perfect clarity what sort of terms we parted on

    Sometimes when I drink too much She shrugged
    her bony shoulders
    "We're fine," I saidIs it?"
    I shook my head, not trusting myself to speakThe
    streets were almost deserted, as promisedThe
    sidewalks were dead empty
    "She and Jake Rosenblatt were a thing for awhile
    It was pretty serious
    "What happened?"
    Mary shruggedIf you forced
    me to guess, I'd say that in the end she was just
    too used to being her own mistress to be anyone
    else'sOther than on a part-time basis, that is
    But Jake never got over her
    I remembered him saying Fuck the rules, Miss
    Eastlake! and wondered what he had called her in
    bedSurely not Miss EastlakeIt was a sad and
    useless bit of speculation
    "Maybe this is for the best," Mary saidIf you'd known her in her prime, Edgar,
    you'd know she wasn't the sort of woman who'd want
    to go out that way

    @@@@@The 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 right
    The message was from JackHe said his mother had
    connected him with someone named Dario Nannuzzi,
    and Nannuzzi would be happy to look at my pictures
    between four and five PM on Friday afternoon -
    could I bring no more than ten of those I
    considered best to the Scoto Gallery? No sketches;
    Nannuzzi only wanted to see finished work
    I felt a tickle of unease at this -
    No, that's not even close to what I felt
    My stomach cramped and I could have sworn my
    bowels dropped three inchesNor was that the
    worstThat half-itch, half-pain swarmed up my
    right side and down the arm that was no longer
    thereI told myself such feelings - which
    amounted to three-days-in-advance flop-sweat -
    were stupidI had once made a ten-million-dollar
    pitch to the StPaul City Council, which at that
    time had included a man who'd gone on to become
    the Governor of MinnesotaI'd seen two girls

    through first dance recitals, cheerleading tryouts,
    driving lessons, and the hell of adolescenceWhat
    was showing some of my paintings to an art gallery
    guy compared to that?
    Nevertheless, I made my way up the stairs to
    Little Pink with leaden heels
    The sun was going down, flooding the big room with
    gorgeous and improbable tangerine light, but I
    felt no urge to try and capture it - not this
    eveningThe light called to me, just the sameAs

    souvenirs, may call to you

    My highly educated dad always encouraged me to seek a good job with a strong corporationHe spoke of the virtues of "working your way up the corporate ladder He didn't understand that, by relying solely on a paycheck from a corporate employer, I would be a docile cow ready for milking
    When I told my rich dad of my father's advice, he only chuckled"Why not own the ladder?" was all he said
    As a young boy, I did not understand what rich dad meant by owning my own corporationIt was an idea that seemed impossible, and intimidatingAlthough I was excited by the idea, my youth would not let me envision the possibility that grownups would someday work for a company I would own
    The point is, if not for my rich dad, I would have probably followed my educated dad's adviceIt was merely the occasional reminder of my rich dad that kept the idea of owning my own corporation alive and kept me on a different pathBy the time I was 15 or 16, I knew I was not going to continue down the path my educated dad was recommendingI did not know how I was going to do it, but I was determined not to head in the direction most of my classmates were headingThat decision changed my life
    It was not until I was in my mid-20s that my rich dad's advice began to make more senseI was just out of the Marine Corps and working for XeroxI was making a lot of money, but every time I looked at my paycheck, I was always disappointedThe deductions were so large, and the more I worked, the greater the deductionsAs I became more successful, my bosses talked about promotions and raises It was flattering, but I could hear my rich dad asking me in my ear: "Who are you working for? Who are you making rich?"

    that impression“I'm Healer Knits FireI'll get you fixed up directlyWhat happened?”
    I told my story again as the two women led me down a hallway and then through the very first
    doorThey had me lie down on the paper-covered bed
    The room was familiarI'd been in only one place like this, but Melanie's childhood was full of
    such memoriesThe short row of double cabinets, the sink where the Healer was washing her
    hands, the bright, clean white walls…
    “First things first,” Knits Fire said cheerfullyShe pulled a cabinet openI tried to focus my
    eyes, knowing this was importantThe cabinet was full of rows and rows of stacked white
    cylindersShe took one down, reaching for it without searching; she knew what she wanted
    The small container had a label, but I couldn't read it“A little no pain should help, don't you
    think?”
    I saw the label again as she twisted the lid offo Pain? Was that what it
    said?

    Cummings phoned for his jeep and driver, and about eight Phe set out on the roadThe moon was almost fullHe relaxed in the front seat of the jeep, and watched the play of the headlights against the jungle foliageThey were far enough behind the lines to avoid blacking out, and the General smoked idly, feeling the wind wash pleasantly against his faceHe felt drained, yet still tense; the passing sentient traces of the ride, the sound of the motor, the jouncing against the seat cushions, the smell of his cigarette, lulled him, caressed his nerves like a warm lapping bathHe began to fell cheerful and pleasantly empty
    After a fifteen-minute ride, they reached a battery of 105s off the side of the roadOn an impulse he told his driver to turn in, and the jeep jounced over a crude culvert made by aligning empty gasoline drums in a ditch and covering them with earthThe wheels sloughed through the mud of the motor pool, and they came to a halt on a stretch of relatively dry earthThe guard at the entrance had phoned the Captain, who came up to the jeep to meet the General
    "Sir?"
    Cummings noddedHow's the battery coming?"
    "Fine, sir
    "Service battery was supposed to bring up two hundred rounds about an hour agoYou get them?"
    "Yes, sir"Have your touch on everything, don't you, sir?"
    This pleased Cummings"Have you told the men how successful the battalion concentration was this afternoon?" he asked
    "I did say something about it, sir
    "You can't emphasize it enoughWhen the men have completed a good fire mission, it's smart to tell them soIt's good for the men to have a sense of participation

Polack paused
    "All right, what?"
    "He says, 'Six mont's hell, what am I gonna do for tonight?' "
    In spite of himself, Minetta laughed"You expect me to believe that?"
    Polack shrugged, and picked up a box"What do I care if ya believe itI'm tellin' ya, that's all"Hey, you know what time it is?"

    "Why don't you just admit you're goofing off?" A change had come about in Stanley's attitude toward Brown since he had made corporalHe no longer agreed with Brown completely, and he bantered with him much more frequently"You'll be like Roth in another week," he said

    businessHe's a very successful businessmanWell, I'm happy to stand in as your helper, as best I

    I like them very much She stalked out of the roomBut she did see
    to a fresh supper tray for her grandfather before she went up to her

    "You wants I should fetch you a tray upstairs?"
    "No, just come up now and get me out of these clothesI don't want

    "I really prefer flounder myself, Minnie, it takes to a sauce so much
    betterLet me present Rhett's wife, Scarlett Tell me, does this flounder look good to you?" It
    looked disgusting to her, but Scarlett murmured, "I've always been
    partial to flounder myself She hoped that all Miss Eleanor's friends
    wouldn't ask her opinionShe didn't even know what flounder was, for
    pity sakes, much less if it was any good or not
    In the next hour, Scarlett was introduced to more than twenty ladies,
    and a dozen varieties of fishShe was receiving a thorough education
    in seafoodButler bought crabs, going to five different sellers
    until she had accumulated eight"I suppose I seem awfully picky to
    you," she said when she was satisfied, "but the soup's just not the
    same if it's made with he-crabsThe roe gives it a special flavor,
    you seeIt's a lot harder to find she-crab this time of year, but
    it's worth the effort, I think
    Scarlett didn't care a bit what gender the crabs wereShe was
    appalled that they were still alive, scuttling around in the tubs,
    reaching out their claws, making nervous rustling noises as they
    climbed on top of one another trying to reach up the sides to get
    out
    And now she could hear them in Celie's basket, pushing at the paper
    sack that held themThe shrimp were worse, even though they were
    deadTheir ice were horrible black balls on stalks, and they had long
    trailing whiskers and feelers and spiky stomachsShe couldn't believe
    that she'd ever eaten anything that looked like that, much less
    enjoyed
