@@@@@It was hot already, and most of the men @@@@@It was hot already, and most of the men threw off their packs and sprawled in the sandThere had been men here before themUnits of the first wave had assembled nearby, for the flat caked sand was trodden by many feet, and there was the inevitable minor refuse of empty cigarette packs and a discarded ration or twoBut now these men were inland, moving somewhere through the jungle, and there was hardly anyone in sightThey could see for a distance of about two hundred yards in either direction before the beach curved out of view, and it was all quiet, relatively emptyAround either bend there might be a great deal of activity, but they could not tell thisIt was still too early for the supplies to be brought in, and all the troops that had landed with them had been quickly dispersedOver a hundred yards away to their right, the Navy had set up a command post which consisted merely of an officer at a small folding desk, and a jeep parked in the defilade where the jungle met the beachTo their left, just around the bend an eighth of a mile away, the Task Force Headquarters was beginning to functionA few orderlies were digging foxholes for the General's staff, and two men were staggering down the beach in the opposite direction, unwinding an eighty-pound reel of telephone wireA jeep motored by in the firm wet sand near the water's edge and disappeared beyond the Navy's CPThe landing boats which had beached near the colored pennants on the other side of Task Force Headquarters had backed off by now and were cruising out toward the invasion fleetThe water looked very blue and the ships seemed to quiver a little in the mid-morning hazeOccasionally one of the destroyers would fire a volley or two, and half a minute later the men would hear the soft whisper of the shell as it arched overhead into the jungleOnce in a while a machine gun would start racketing in the jungle, and might be answered soon after with the shrill riveting sound of a Japanese light automatic Sergeant Brown looked at the coconut trees which were shorn at the top from the shellingFarther down, another grove had remained untouched, and he shook his headPlenty of men could have lived through that bombardment, he told himself"This ain't such a bad shelling, compared to what they did to Motome," he said He turned over on his stomach in the sand, and lit a cigarette"The beach stinks already," he announced "How can it stink?" Stanley asked "It just stinks," Red answeredHe didn't like Stanley, and although he had exaggerated the faint brackish odor that came from the jungle, he was ready to defend his statementHe felt an old familiar depression seeping through him; he was bored and irritable, it was too early to eat, and he had smoked too many cigare | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 10:46 pm |
@@@@@To be going so soon, sent for so kindly, @@@@@To be going so soon, sent for so kindly, sent for as a comfort, and with leave to take Susan, was altogether such a combination of blessings as set her heart in a glow, and for a time seemed to distance every pain, and make her incapable of suitably sharing the distress even of those whose distress she thought of mostJulia’s elopement could affect her comparatively but little; she was amazed and shocked; but it could not occupy her, could not dwell on her mindShe was obliged to call herself to think of it, and acknowledge it to be terrible and grievous, or it was escaping her, in the midst of all the agitating pressing joyful cares attending this summons to herself There is nothing like employment, active indispensable employment, for relieving sorrowEmployment, even melancholy, may dispel melancholy, and her occupations were hopefulShe had so much to do, that not even the horrible story of MrsRushworth—now fixed to the last point of certainty could affect her as it had done beforeShe had not time to be miserableWithin twenty-four hours she was hoping to be gone; her father and mother must be spoken to, Susan prepared, everything got readyBusiness followed busi389 Jane Austen ness; the day was hardly long enoughThe happiness she was imparting, too, happiness very little alloyed by the black communication which must briefly precede it—the joyful consent of her father and mother to Susan’s going with her—the general satisfaction with which the going of both seemed regarded, and the ecstasy of Susan herself, was all serving to support her spirits The affliction of the Bertrams was little felt in the family Price talked of her poor sister for a few minutes, but how to find anything to hold Susan’s clothes, because Rebecca took away all the boxes and spoilt them, was much more in her thoughts: and as for Susan, now unexpectedly gratified in the first wish of her heart, and knowing nothing personally of those who had sinned, or of those who were sorrowing—if she could help rejoicing from beginning to end, it was as much as ought to be expected from human virtue at fourteen As nothing was really left for the decision of MrsPrice, or the good offices of Rebecca, everything was rationally and duly accomplished, and the girls were ready for the morrowThe advantage of much sleep to prepare them for their journey was impossibleThe cousin who was travelling towards them could hardly have less than visited their agitated spirits—one all happiness, the other all varying and indescribable perturbation By eight in the morning Edmund was in the houseThe girls heard his entrance from above, and Fanny went downThe idea of immediately seeing him, with the knowledge of what he must be suffering, brought back all her own first feelingsHe so near her, and in miseryShe was ready to sink as she entered the parlourHe was alone, and met her instantly; and she found herself pressed to his heart with only these words, just articulate, “My Fanny, my only sister; my only comfort now!” She could say nothing; nor for some minutes could he say more He turned away to recover himself, and when he spoke again, though his voice still faltered, his manner shewed the wish of selfcommand, and the resolution of avoiding any farther allusion“Have you breakfasted? When shall you be ready? Does Susan go?” were questions following each other rapi | | Saturday, December 4th, 2010 | | 10:20 pm |
@@@@@It crossed Webb’s mind that it had something @@@@@It crossed Webb’s mind that it had something to do with Mo Panov’s call to him nine hours agoIt was all but confirmed when Holland himself got on the phone insisting that he drive down to Hartford and take a commercial flight out of Bradley to Washington, adding enigmatically that he wanted no further telephone communication or private or government aircraft involved This particular government-oriented car, however, wasted no time getting out of National AirportIt seemed as if in only minutes they were rushing through the countryside and, only minimally less rapidly, through the suburbs of VirginiaThey swung up to the private gate of an expensive garden apartment complex, the sign reading VIENNA VILLAS, after the township in which it was locatedThe guard obviously recognized the driver and waved him through as the heavy bar across the entrance was raisedIt was only then that the driver spoke directly to Webb “This place has five separate sections over as many acres, sirFour of them are legitimate condominiums with regular owners, but the fifth, the one farthest from the gate, is an Agency proprietary with its own road and securityYou couldn’t be healthier, sir “I didn’t feel particularly sickYou’re DCI cargo and your health is very important to him “That’s nice to know, but how do you know?” “I’m part of the team, sir “In that case, what’s your name?” The driver was silent for a moment, and when he answered, David had the uneasy feeling that he was being propelled back in time, to a time he knew he was reentering“We don’t have names, sir You don’t and I don’t “I understand,” said Webb The driver swung the car around a circular drive and stopped in front of a twostory Colonial structure that looked as though the fluted white pillars might have been made of Carrara marble“Excuse me, sir, I just noticedYou don’t have any luggage “No, I don’t,” said David, opening the door Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 32 “How do you like my temporary digs?” asked Alex, waving his hand around the tastefully appointed apartment “Too neat and too clean for a cantankerous old bachelor,” replied David“And since when did you go in for floral curtains with pink and yellow daisies?” “Wait’ll you see the wallpaper in my bedroom “I’m not sure I care to |
