    @@@@@
    I dragged Ian back through the room where the tunnels to all the living quarters met in a big
    tangle of openingsInstead of keeping on toward the main plaza, I pulled him into one of the
    dark corridors, picking at random
    “Wanda, what –”
    “I need you to help me, Ian My voice was strained, frantic
    I put my hands on either side of his face, staring into his eyesI could barely see a glint of their
    blue in the darkness
    “I need you to kiss me, Ian

    Ian's jaw fell slack“You… what?”
    “I'll explain in a minuteThis isn't fair to you, but… please
    “It won't upset you? Melanie won't bother you?”
    “Ian!” I complained“Please!”
    Still confused, he put his hands on my waist and pulled my body against hisHis face was so
    worried, I wondered if this would even workI hardly needed the romance, but maybe he did
    He closed his eyes as he leaned toward me, an automatic thingHis lips pressed lightly against
    mine once, and then he pulled back to look at me with the same worried expressionLike… like you'retrying to get slappedDo you understand?”
    “NoWhat's wrong? Tell me first
    I put my arms around his neckIt felt strange; I wasn't at all sure how to do this rightI pushed
    up on my toes and pulled his head down at the same time until I could reach his lips with mine

    overwhelmed by its bodyOther species had their priorities in better or

    You leave Pittypat's house the way it is, including your halfAnd
    don't stop sending money through me to pay the bills for its upkeep,
    the way you've always doneThat'll satisfy your promise to MelanieI'll escort you to your carriage Scarlett took his arm
    and walked meekly beside himBut inside, she was seething
    She might have known that she'd get no help from Uncle HenryShe
    had
    to find out for herself if what Uncle Henry said was true, if there was
    a financial panic, most of all, if her money Hamilton called itThe
    financial crisis that had begun on Wall Street in New York was
    spreading throughout AmericaScarlett was terrified that she'd lose
    the money she had earned and hoardedWhen she left the old
    lawyer's
    office, she went immediately to her bankShe was shaking internally
    when she reached the bank manager's office"I appreciate your
    concern, MrsButler," he said, but Scarlett could see that he didn't
    at allHe resented her questioning the security of the bank, and in
    particular the security of the bank under his managementThe longer
    he talked, and the more reassuring he sounded, the less Scarlett
    believed himThen, inadvertently, he set all her fears at rest
    "Why, we'll not only be paying our usual dividend to stockholders," he
    said, "it's actually going to be a bit higher than usual He looked
    at her from the corners of his eyes"I didn't get that information
    until this morning myself," he said angrily"I'd certainly like to
    know how your husband reached his decision to add to his stock
    holdings
    a month agoScarlett felt that she might float right out of her chair
    with reliefIf Rhett was buying bank shares, this must be the safest
    bank in AmericaHe always made money when the rest of the world
    was
    falling to piecesShe didn't know how he'd found out about the bank's
    position, and she didn't care

    "It's your letter, boy Wilson put an arm on his shoulder, and Gallagher shook it off"You want me to throw it away?" Wilson asked
    Gallagher looked at the date on the envelope"No, give it to me," he blurtedHe walked away a few yards and ripped it openThe words were indistinguishable to him, and he could not read itHoly Mary, Joseph and Jesus, he said to himselfHis eyes were able to focus on a few lines, and their meaning seeped into his mind"I been worrying about you, Roy, you're allways so angrie about everthing, and I pray for your safety every nightI love you so much when I think of the baby, only sometimes I can't beleive that its going to come so soonOnly three weeks now, the doctor said Gallagher folded the letter, and walked around blindlyThe purple lump on his jawbone twitched dully"Oh, Christ Saviour," he said aloudHe began to tremble again
    Gallagher could not accept Mary's deathAt night, on guard, he would catch himself thinking of his return, and he would imagine what it would be like with Mary to greet himA dull despair would settle on him, and he would say automatically, She's dead, she's dead, but he did not believe it completelyHe had numbed himself
    Now, as the letters from Mary kept coming every few days, he began to believe that she was aliveIf someone had asked him about his wife, he would have said, She died, but nevertheless he was thinking about her the way he always hadWhen she would say that the child was due in ten days, he would count off the time and pick the date that fell ten days after he read the letterIf she told him that she had visited her mother the preceding day, he would think, That was about the time yesterday we were eating chow

    “Yes, why not try it
    “I must tell you, though,” said Bernardine, laughing“He once chose a name, admittedly from a
    tombstone, that drove the S?reté fou—crazy! It was the alias of an ax murderer the authorities had
    been hunting for months!”
    “That is funny,” agreed Bourne, chucklingHe told me later that he found it in Rambouillet—in a cemetery on the outskirts of

    He knew that voice! It was Bernardine! What had happened? Was Bernardine no friend after
    all? Was it all an act, the smooth talk of a traitor? If so, there would be another death that night!
    The black-uniformed squad of antiterrorists, their automatic weapons bolted into firing mode,
    raced to the base of the brick steps as the gendarmes blocked off the boulevard Lefebvre, north and
    south, while the red and blue lights of the patrol cars incessantly blinked their bright warnings to all
    beyond the area: Stay away
    “May I go inside?” screamed the bakerNo one replied, so the obese man ran through his door
    clutching his trousers
    An official in civilian logo louis vuitton clothes, the obvious leader of the assault, joined his invading unit on the
    pavement below the stepsWith a nod of his head, he and his men raced up the brick staircase
    through the door held open by the defiant nun
    Jason held his place at the edge of the building, his body pressed against the stone, the sweat
    pouring from his hairline and his neck, his eyes on the incomprehensible scene being played out on
    the LefebvreHe knew the who now, but why? Was it true? Was the man most trusted by Alex

    Conklin and himself in reality another pair of eyes and ears for the Jackal? Christ, he did not want
    to believe it!
    Twelve oyster rolex minutes passed, and with the reemergence of Paris’s version of a SWAT team and its
    leader, several members bowing and kissing the hand of the real or would-be abbess, Bourne
    understood that his and Conklin’s instincts had been on true course
    “Bernardine!” screamed the official approaching the first patrol car“You are finished! Out!
    Never are you to talk to the lowest recruit in the Deuxième, even the man who cleans the toilets!
    You are ostracized! If I had my way, you’d be shot! International murder in the boulevard
    Lefebvre! A friend of the Bureau! An agent we must protect! A fucking nunnery, you miserable
    son of a bitch! Shit! A nunnery! Get out of my replica balenciaga car, you smelly pigGet out before a weapon goes
    off by mistake and your stomach’s on the street, where it belongs!”
    Bernardine lurched out of the patrol car, his old unsteady legs barely able to maintain balance,
    twice falling into the streetJason waited, wanting to rush to his friend, but knowing he had to wait
    The patrol cars and the van raced away; still Bourne had to wait, his eyes alternately watching
    Bernardine and the front entrance of the Jackal’s houseAnd it was the Jackal’s house, the nun
    proved itCarlos could never let go of his lost faith; he consistently used it as a viable cover, but it
    was much more than that
    Bernardine staggered into the men omega watch shadows of a long-abandoned storefront across from the house on
    the boulevard LefebvreJason breached the corner and ran down the pavement, racing into the
    recess and grabbing the Deuxième veteran as he leaned against a long glass window, breathing
    heavily
    “For God’s sake, what happened?” cried Bourne, supporting Bernardine by both shoulders
    “Easy, mon ami,” choked Bernardine“The pig I sat next to—a politician, no doubt, looking for
    an issue—punched me in the chest before he threw me out of the carI told you, I don’t know all

    of mercy was reserved for their own
    I knew Doc could never intentionally inflict pain on another personI doubted he would even
    be capable of watching such a thing, tender as his feelings wereBut a worm, a centipede? Why
    would he care about the agony of a strange alien creature? Why would it bother him to murder a
    baby–slowly, slicing it apart piece by piece–if it had no human mouth to scream with?

    Would it have mattered if I'd simply been told rather than having seen the tortured remains for

    I could make no sense of my emotionsIn that moment, I hated the body I was bound toHow
    did it make sense that his going depressed me? Why should it pain me to have the solitude I
    craved? I wanted the monster back, and that was plainly wrong
    I wasn't alone for longI didn't know if Ian had gone to get him or if he'd been waiting for Ian
    to leave, but I recognized Jeb's contemplative whistle as it approached in the darkness
    The whistling stopped a few feet from me, and there was a loud clickA beam of yellow light
    burned my eyes
    Jeb set the flashlight down, bulb upIt threw a circle of light on the low ceiling and made a
    wider, more diffuse sphere of light around us
    Jeb settled himself against the wall beside me
    “Gonna starve yourself, then? Is that the plan?”

    Her surrealist phase began; first the birds flying
    upside-down, then the animals walking on water,
    then the Smiling Horses that brought her a small
    measure of renownAnd that was when something
    changedThat was when something dark slipped in,
    using little Libbit as its channel
    She began to draw her doll, and when she did, her
    doll began to talk
    278
    By then Adriana was back from Gay Paree, and to
    begin with, Noveen mostly spoke in Adie's high and
    happy lah-de-dah logo chanel voice, asking Elizabeth if she
    could hinky-dinky-parley-voo and telling her to
    ferramay her bushSometimes Noveen sang her to
    sleep while pictures of the doll's face - large
    and round and all brown except for the red lips -
    scattered Elizabeth's counterpane
    Noveen sings Frere Jacques, frere Jacques, are you
    sleepun? Are you sleepun? Dormay-voo, dormay-voo?
    Sometimes Noveen told her stories - mixed-up but
    wonderful - where Cinderella wore the red slippers
    from Oz tiffany diamond and the Bobbsey Twins got lost in the
    Magic Forest and found a sweetie house with a roof
    made of peppermint candy
    But then Noveen's voice changedIt stopped being
    Adie's voiceIt stopped being the voice of anyone
    Elizabeth knew, and it went right on talking even
    when Elizabeth told Noveen to ferramay her bush
    At first, maybe that voice was pleasant

    There are the summers in Charlevoix, the expanding house in the Chicago suburb, the world of long green lawns, and quiet beaches, and croquet courses and tennis courts; there are all the intimate and extensive details of wealth, the things he takes for granted, and understands, separates only laterThere is also six years at Fieldmont Country Day, more of the fellows and demerits, the occasional sermon, the individual regular-fellow ethic borrowed from more exclusive eastern prep schools

    You do not lie You do not cheat
    You do not swear You do not screw
    And you go to church

    Always of course with the booming voice, the meaty palm of Bill Hearn in the background, combined somehow -- never believably -- with dancing lessons on Saturday mornings, and the persistent avid aspirations of Ina HearnBobby, why don't you take Elizabeth Perkins to your Junior Dance?
    Deep in the womb which covers me,
    Green as grass from house to house
    Only that idea comes later

    The week after he graduates from Fieldmont Country Day, he goes on a drinking bout with a few contemporaries, fellow graduates, to a shack out in the woods, owned by one of their fathersA two-story shack with a built-in bar
    At night they sit around in one of the upstairs bedrooms, passing the bottle after swigging at it gingerly
    To hell with your old manThey are all shocked, but it was Carsons who spoke, and his father committed suicide in 1930Carsons can be forgiven
    Here's good-bye to Fieldmont, good old FCD, we had a lot of time there
    The Dean wasn't bad but I never could figure him out, and you remember what a good-looking wife he had
    Here's to the wife, I heard she left him last year for a monthThe bottle goes on its second and third circuit
    All in all we had a good time there, only I'm glad to be out, I sure wish I was going with you fellows to Yale
    In a corner the football captain of the previous season is bending Hearn's earI wish I could be back for this next fall, what a team we're going to have with those juniors, you mark my words, Haskell is going to be All-American in four years, and while we're on the subject, Bob, I would like to give you just a little word of advice 'cause I've kept my eye on you for a long time now, and you don't try hard enough, you don't pull, you could've made the team 'cause you're big and you got natural ability but you didn't want to, and it's a shame because you ought to pull harder
    Stick your head in a bucket of ice
    Hearn's drunk, the captain yells
    Look at old Hearn off in the corner againI bet he busted up with Adelaide
    She's a keen girl, but she necks around an awful lot, I bet Lantry used to worry about it before he went off to Princeto
