    And then the memory of the picture itselfA picture she'd looked at a thousand times without
    everseeing itIt was black and white, faded to graysA small rustic wooden house, far away on
    the other side of a desert field; in the foreground, a split-rail fence; a few equine shapes between
    the fence and the houseAnd then, behind it all, the sharp, familiar profile…
    There were words, a label, scrawled prada milano in pencil across the top white border:
    Stryder Ranch, 1904, in the morning shadow of…
    “Picacho Peak,” I said quietly
    He'll have figured it out, too, even if they never found SharonI know Jared will have put it
    togetherHe's smarter than me, and he has the picture; he probably saw the answer before I
    did
    The thought had her so filled with yearning and excitement that the blank wall in my gucci ladies watches head
    slipped entirely
    I saw the whole journey now, saw her and Jared's and Jamie's careful trek across the country,
    always by night in their inconspicuous stolen vehicleI saw where she'd left them
    in a wooded preserve outside the city, so different from the empty desert they were used toThe
    cold forest where Jared and Jamie would hide and wait had felt safer in some ways–because the
    branches were thick and earring chanel concealing, unlike the spindly desert foliage that hid little–but also
    more dangerous in its unfamiliar smells and sounds
    Then the separation, a memory so painful we skipped through it, flinchingNext came the
    abandoned building she'd hidden in, watching the house across the street for her chanceThere,
    concealed within the walls or in the secret basement, she hoped to find Sharon
    I shouldn't have let black quilted bag you see that,Melanie thoughtThe faintness of her silent voice gave away
    her fatigueThe assault of memories, the persuasion and coercion, had tired herou'll tell them
    where to find herYou'll kill her, too
    “Yes,” I mused aloud“I have to do my duty
    Why?she murmured, almost sleepilyhat happiness will it bring you?
    I didn't want to argue with her, so I said nothing

    @@@@@"I don't know what's wrong
    with meThe smell, I guess - that rotten jungle
    smell-" His chest hitched, he made a gurk sound
    deep in his throat, and leaned out the door again
    That time he missed his hold on the steering wheel,
    and if I hadn't grabbed him by the collar and
    yanked him back, he would have gone sprawling
    face-first into his own whoop
    He leaned back, eyes closed, face wet with sweat,
    panting rapidly
    "We better take him back to El Palacio," Wireman
    said"I don't like to lose the time - hell, I
    don't like to lose him - but this shit ain't
    right
    "As far as Perse's concerned, it's exactly right,"
    I saidNow my bad leg was itching almost as much
    as my armIt felt like electricity"It's her
    little poison beltHow about you, Wireman? How's
    your gut?"
    938
    "Fine, but my bad eye - the one that used to be
    bad - is itching like a bastard, and my head's
    kind of hummingProbably from that damn radio
    "It's not the radioAnd the reason it's getting
    to Jack and not to us is because we've beenSort of ironic, isn't
    it?"
    Behind the wheel, Jack groaned
    "What can you do for him, muchacho? Anything?"
    "I think so
    I had my pads on my lap and my pencils and erasers
    in a belt-packNow I flipped to the picture of
    Jack and found one of my art-gum erasersI took
    away his mouth and the lower arcs of his eyes, all
    the way up to the cornersThe itching in my right
    arm was fiercer than ever, and I actually had no
    doubt that what I planned to do would workI
    summoned up the memory of Jack's smile in my
    kitchen - the one I'd asked him to give me while
    thinking of something particularly good - and drew
    it quickly with my Midnight Blue pencilIt took
    no more than thirty seconds (the eyes were really
    the key, when it comes to smiles, they always are),
    939
    but those few lines changed the whole idea of Jack
    Cantori's face
    And I got something I hadn't expectedAs I drew,
    I saw him kissing a girl in a bikiniI could feel her smooth skin, even a few
    little grains of sand nestling in the hollow at
    the small of her ba

    @@@@@Rushworth, “we are coming to the chapel,
    @@@@@Rushworth, “we are
    coming to the chapel, which properly we ought to enter from above,
    and look down upon; but as we are quite among friends, I will take
    you in this way, if you will excuse meFanny’s imagination had prepared her for something
    grander than a mere spacious, oblong room, fitted up for the
    purpose of devotion: with nothing more striking or more solemn
    than the profusion of mahogany, and the crimson velvet cushions
    appearing over the ledge of the family gallery above“I am disappointed,”
    said she, in a low voice, to Edmund“This is not my idea
    of a chapelThere is nothing awful here, nothing melancholy, nothing
    grandHere are no aisles, no arches, no inscriptions, no banners
    No banners, cousin, to be ‘blown by the night wind of heaven
    No signs that a ‘Scottish monarch sleeps below”
    “You forget, Fanny, how lately all this has been built, and for how
    confined a purpose, compared with the old chapels of castles and
    monasteriesIt was only for the private use of the familyThey have
    75
    Jane Austen
    been buried, I suppose, in the parish churchThere you must look
    for the banners and the achievements
    “It was foolish of me not to think of all that; but I am disappointedRushworth began her relation“This chapel was fitted up as
    you see it, in James the Second’s timeBefore that period, as I understand,
    the pews were only wainscot; and there is some reason to
    think that the linings and cushions of the pulpit and family seat
    were only purple cloth; but this is not quite certainIt is a handsome
    chapel, and was formerly in constant use both morning and
    eveningPrayers were always read in it by the domestic chaplain,
    within the memory of many; but the late MrRushworth left it off
    “Every generation has its improvements,” said Miss Crawford,
    with a smile, to EdmundRushworth was gone to repeat her lesson to MrCrawford;
    and Edmund, Fanny, and Miss Crawford remained in a cluster together
    “It is a pity,” cried Fanny, “that the custom should have been discontinued
    It was a valuable part of former timesThere is something
    in a chapel and chaplain so much in character with a great
    house, with one’s ideas of what such a household should be! A whole
    family assembling regularly for the purpose of prayer is fine!”
    “Very fine indeed,” said Miss Crawford, laugh

    For a moment he was uneasyDid it make any difference which foot it was? He was a leftie and maybe it'd be better to shoot the right foot, or were they both the same? He thought of asking Polack, and immediately dropped the ideaThis kind of thing he'd have to play aloneIn a couple of weeks, on a day when nothing was doing, watches gucci he could take care of that little detailHe'd be in the hospital for a while, for three months, six months, but thenHe lit a cigarette and watched the clouds dissolve into one another, feeling agreeably sorry for himself because he was going to have to lose a foot and it was not his fault
    Red picked at a sore on his hand, examining maternally the ridges and creases of his knucklesThere was no kidding himself any longerHis kidneys were shot, dior women his legs would begin to break down soon, all through his body he could feel the damage the patrol had causedProbably it had taken things out of him he would never be able to put back againWell, it was the old men who got it, MacPherson on Motome, and then Wilson, it was probably fair enoughAnd there was always the chance of getting hit and coming out of it with a million-dollar woundWhat difference did it make anyway?

    @@@@@Like his bland hair and his long body, his features were
    mild and thinThere was no anger in his face, which was why it held my eye
    The others made way for this apparently unassuming man as if he had some status among them
    Only Jared didn't defer to him; he held his ground, staring only at meThe tall man stepped
    around him, not seeming to notice the obstacle in his path any more than he would a pile of
    rock
    “Okay, okay,” he said in an oddly cheery voice as he circled Jared and came to face meWhat have we got?”
    It was Aunt Maggie who answered him, appearing at his elbow
    “Jeb found it in the desertUsed to be our niece MelanieIt seemed to be following the
    directions he gave her She flashed a dirty look at Jeb
    “Mm-hm,” the tall, bony man murmured, his eyes appraising me curiouslyIt was strange, that
    appraisalHe looked as if he liked what he sawI couldn't fathom why he would
    My gaze shied away from his, to another woman–a young woman who peered around his side,
    her hand resting on his arm–my eyes drawn by her vivid hair
    Sharon!Melanie cried
    Melanie's cousin saw the recognition in my eyes, and her face hardened
    I pushed Melanie roughly to the back of my headhhh!
    “Mm-hm,” the tall man said again, noddingHe reached one hand out to my face and seemed
    surprised when I recoiled from it, flinching into Jeb's side
    “It's okay,” the tall man said, smiling a little in encouragement
    He reached toward my face againI shrunk into Jeb's side like before, but Jeb flexed his arm
    and nudged me forwardThe tall man touched my jaw below my ear, his fingers gentler than I
    expected, and turned my face away

    @@@@@Grant, professing an indisposition,
    for which he had little credit with his fair sister-in-law, could not
    spare his wifeGrant is ill,” said she, with mock solemnity“He has been ill
    ever since he did not eat any of the pheasant todayHe fancied it
    tough, sent away his plate, and has been suffering ever since”
    Here was disappointment! MrsGrant’s non-attendance was sad
    indeedHer pleasant manners and cheerful conformity made her
    always valuable amongst them; but now she was absolutely necessary
    They could not act, they could not rehearse with any satisfaction
    without herThe comfort of the whole evening was destroyed
    What was to be done? Tom, as Cottager, was in despairAfter a
    pause of perplexity, some eyes began to be turned towards Fanny,
    and a voice or two to say, “If Miss Price would be so good as to read
    the part She was immediately surrounded by supplications; everybody

    Why was not Miss Crawford to be applied to as well? Or why had
    not she rather gone to her own room, as she had felt to be safest,
    instead of attending the rehearsal at all? She had known it would
    irritate and distress her; she had known it her duty to keep away
    She was properly punished
    “You have only to read the part,” said Henry Crawford, with renewed
    entreaty
    “And I do believe she can say every word of it,” added Maria, “for
    she could put MrsGrant right the other day in twenty placesFanny,
    I am sure you know the part
    Fanny could not say she did not; and as they all persevered, as
    Edmund repeated his wish, and with a look of even fond dependence
    on her good-nature, she must yieldShe would do her best
    Everybody was satisfied; and she was left to the tremors of a most
    palpitating heart, while the others prepared to begin
    They did begin; and being too much engaged in their own noise
    to be struck by an unusual noise in the other part of the house, had
    proceeded some way when the door of the room was thrown open,

    natural aversionWe dealt with human quotients; they didn’tThey dealt with little green letters on

    @@@@@The shells were falling by the next platoon, the sound painful and jarring to himHe stared out on the moonlit river until his eyes deceived him; he began to think he could see the heads of men in the dark swirls of the currentCroft gazed down at his knees for an instant and then across the river againHe looked a little to the left or right of where he thought the Japanese might be; from long experience he had learned a man could not look directly at an object and see it in the darknessSomething seemed to move in the grove, and a new trickle of sweat formed and rolled down his backHe twisted uncomfortablyCroft was unbearably tense, but the sensation was not wholly unpleasant
    He wondered if Wilson had noticed the sounds, and then in answer to his question, there was the loud unmistakable clicking of a machine gun boltTo Croft's keyed senses, the sound echoed up and down the river, and he was furious that Wilson should have revealed his positionThe rustling in the brush became louder and Croft was convinced he could hear voices whispering on the other side of the riverHe fumbled for a grenade and placed it at his feet
    Then he heard a sound which pierced his fleshSomeone called from across the river, "Yank, Yank!" Croft sat numbThe voice was thin and high-pitched, hideous in a whisper"That's a Jap," Croft told himselfHe was incapable of moving for that instant
    "Yank!" It was calling to himWe you coming-to-get, Yank
    The night lay like a heavy stifling mat over the riverCroft tried to breathe
    "We you coming-to-get, Yank
    Croft felt as if a hand had suddenly clapped against his back, traveled up his spine over his skull to clutch at the hair on his forehead"Coming to get you, Yank," he heard himself whisperHe had the agonizing frustration of a man in a nightmare who wants to scream and cannot utter a sound"We you coming-to-get,

    perhaps twenty feet to a side, with a packed-earth floor and stained
    walls that had lost most of their plasterIt smelled of cheap whiskey
    and tobacco juice, with an underlay of scorched wood and fabricThe
    only furniture was an assortment of crude stools and benches, plus a
    scattering of dented metal cuspidorsThe mantelpiece over the wide
    fireplace and the frames around the doors and windows looked like
    some
    kind of mistakeThey were made of pine, beautifully carved with a
    delicate fretwork design and oiled to a glowing golden brownIn one
    corner there was a rough staircase with splintered wooden treads and
    a
    sagging, unsafe railingScarlett's and Pansy's clothes were draped
    over the length of itThe white petticoats billowed from time to time
    when a draft caught them, like ghosts lurking in deep shadows
    "Why didn't you stay in Charleston, Scarlett?" Supper was over and
    Pansy had been sent to sleep with the old black woman who cooked

    Paris traffic is an endless enigma regardless of the hour of day or nightIt also provides palpable
    excuses for anyone wishing to be early or late, or having arrived at the right destination or the
    wrong oneIn a phrase, Parisians behind a steering wheel embody the last civilized vestiges of
    lethal abandon—possibly outdone by their counterparts in Rome or AthensAnd so it was for the

    intersection of the rue Lecourbe in Montparnasse, a congestion of produce trucks prevented her
    from keeping up with her religious colleaguesBenignly she waved them on and abruptly turned
    into a narrow side street, suddenly pedaling faster than beforeBourne, his wound from Tranquility
    Isle now pulsating throughout his neck, did not increase his pace; he did not have toThe whitelettered
    blue sign on the building fronting the street read IMPASSE, a dead end; there was no other
    way out
    He found the bicycle chained to an extinguished street lamp and waited in the darkness of a
    doorway no more than fifteen feet awayHe raised his hand and touched the warm moistness of the
    bandage around his neck; the bleeding was slightWith luck, no more than one suture had burst
    Oh, Christ, his legs were tired—no, “tired” was inadequateThey ached with the pain that came
    with unused and abused muscles; the rhythmic strides of jogging, even running, were no
    preparation for lurching or weaving, or for violently sudden stops and startsHe leaned against the
    stone, breathing heavily, his eyes on the bicycle, trying to suppress a thought that kept recurring
    with infuriating regularity: only a few short years ago, he would never have noticed the discomfort
    in his legsThere would have been none
    The sound of an unlatched bolt broke the stillness of the predawn narrow street, followed rapidly
    by the grating noise of a heavy door being openedIt was the entrance to the flat in front of the
    chained bicycleHis back against the wall, Jason removed the gun from his belt and watched the
    woman in the nun’s habit rush to the lamppostShe fumbled with a key in the dim light, awkwardly
    trying to insert it into the base of the lockBourne stepped out on the pavement and walked swiftly,
    silently forward

    I had pictured a bald, skinny, professorial man
    with blazing brown eyes - an Italian Ben Kingsley
    - but Dario Nannuzzi turned out to be fortyish,
    plump, courtly, and possessed of a full head of
    hairI was close on the eyes, thoughThey didn't
    miss a trickI saw them widen once - slightly but
    perceptibly - when Wireman carefully unwrapped the
    last painting I'd brought, Roses Grow from Shells
    The pictures were lined up against the back wall
    of the gallery, which was currently devoted mostly
    to photographs by Stephanie Shachat and oils by
    William BerraBetter stuff, I thought, than I
    could do in a century
    Although there had been that slight widening of
    the eyes
    Nannuzzi went down the line from first to last,
    then went againI had no idea if that was good or
    badThe dirty truth was that I had never been in
    an art gallery in my life before that dayI
    turned to ask Wireman what he thought, but Wireman
    had withdrawn and was talking quietly with Jack,
    307
    both of them watching Nannuzzi look at my
    paintings
    Nor were they the only ones, I realizedThe end
    of January is a busy season in the pricey shops
    along Florida's west coastThere were a dozen or
    so lookie-loos in the good-sized Scoto Gallery
    (Nannuzzi later used the far more dignified term
    "potential patrons"), eyeing the Shachat dahlias,
    William Berra's gorgeous but touristy oils of
    Europe, and a few eyepopping, cheerfully feverish
    sculptures I'd missed in the anxiety of getting my
    own stuff unwrapped - these were by a guy named
    David Gerstein
    At first I thought it was the sculptures - jazz
    musicians, crazy swimmers, throbbing city scenes -
    that were drawing the casual afternoon browsers
    And some glanced at them, but most didn't even do
