@@@@@At last it was agreed that
84
Mansfield @@@@@At last it was agreed that 84 Mansfield Park they should endeavour to determine the dimensions of the wood by walking a little more about itThey would go to one end of it, in the line they were then in—for there was a straight green walk along the bottom by the side of the ha-ha—and perhaps turn a little way in some other direction, if it seemed likely to assist them, and be back in a few minutesFanny said she was rested, and would have moved too, but this was not sufferedEdmund urged her remaining where she was with an earnestness which she could not resist, and she was left on the bench to think with pleasure of her cousin’s care, but with great regret that she was not strongerShe watched them till they had turned the corner, and listened till all sound of them had ceased 85 Jane Austen CHAPTER X A QUARTER OF AN HOUR, twenty minutes, passed away, and Fanny was still thinking of Edmund, Miss Crawford, and herself, without interruption from any oneShe began to be surprised at being left so long, and to listen with an anxious desire of hearing their steps and their voices againShe listened, and at length she heard; she heard voices and feet approaching; but she had just satisfied herself that it was not those she wanted, when Miss Bertram, MrCrawford issued from the same path which she had trod herself, and were before her “Miss Price all alone” and “My dear Fanny, how comes this?” were the first salutations“Poor dear Fanny,” cried her cousin, “how ill you have been used by them! You had better have staid with us Then seating herself with a gentleman on each side, she resumed the conversation which had engaged them before, and discussed the possibility of improvements with much animationNothing was fixed on; but Henry Crawford was full of ideas and projects, and, generally speaking, whatever he proposed was immediately approved, first by her, and then by MrRushworth, whose principal business seemed to be to hear the others, and who scarcely risked an original thought of his own beyond a wish that they had seen his friend Smith’s place After some minutes spent in this way, Miss Bertram, observing the iron gate, expressed a wish of passing through it into the park, that their views and their plans might be more comprehensiveIt was the very thing of all others to be wished, it was the best, it was the only way of proceeding with any advantage, in Henry Crawford’s opinion; and he directly saw a knoll not half a mile off, which would give them exactly the requisite command of the houseGo therefore 86 Mansfield Park they must to that knoll, and through that gate; but the gate was lockedRushworth wished he had brought the key; he had been very near thinking whether he should not bring the key; he was determined he would never come without the key again; but still this did not remove the present evilThey could not get through; and as Miss Bertram’s inclination for so doing did by no means lessen, it ended in MrRushworth’s declaring outright that he would go and fetch the keyHe set off accordingly “It is undoubtedly the best thing we can do now, as we are so far from the house already,” said MrCrawford, when he was gone “Yes, there is nothing else to be doneBut now, sincerely, do not you find the place altogether worse than you expected?” “No, indeed, far otherwise | | 7:06 am |
@@@@@Croft led them much more slowly, halting @@@@@Croft led them much more slowly, halting every few minutes They topped a crest-line and jogged feebly down a gentle slopeBefore them was a huge amphitheater, bounded in a rough semicircle by high sheer bluffs covered with vegetationThe cliffs of jungle rose almost vertically for five hundred feet, at least the height of a forty-story skyscraper, and above them was the crest of the mountainCroft had noticed this amphitheater; from miles away it looked like a dark-green collar encircling the neck of the mountain There was no way to avoid it; at either side of the amphitheater the mountain dropped for a thousand feetThey had to go forward and climb the jungle before themCroft rested the platoon at the base, but there was no shade and the rest had little valueAfter five minutes they set out The wall of foliage was not so impossible as it had appeared from a distanceA crude stairway of rocks bedded in the foliage and zigzagged upward like a rampThere were bamboo groves and bushes and plants, vines, and a few trees whose roots grew horizontally into the mountain and whose trunks bent upward in an L toward the skyThere was mud, of course, from all the rains that had trickled down the rocks, and leaves and plants and thorns restricted their passage It was a stairway, but not a convenient oneThey carried the weight of a suitcase on their backs, and they had to climb what amounted to forty flights of stairsTo give an added fillip, the stairs were not of equal heightSometimes they would clamber from one waist-high rock to another, and sometimes they would scrabble up a slope of pebbles and small rocks; sometimes indeed each rock was of a different height and shape than the one that had preceded itAnd the stairway, of course, was littered, so that often they would have to push aside foliage or cut through vines Croft had estimated it would take an hour to ascend the wall of the amphitheater, but after an hour they were only halfway upThe men struggled behind him like a wounded caterpillarThey never traveled all at onceA few would advance over a rock and wait for the others to catch upThey advanced in ripples, Croft toiling ahead a few yards and the rest of the platoon filling the gap in a series of spasmodic lurches which traveled like a shock impulseOften they would halt while Croft or Martinez hacked slowly through a tangle of bambooIn a few places the stairway leaped upward in a big bound of seven or ten feet of muddy earth up which they climbed by clutching at roo | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 1:11 pm |
@@@@@Oh, this was okay, this could work

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, 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, 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? Once a man turned yellowHe coughed, lying flat on his back, the phlegm gagging him slightlyIt took an effort of will to prop himself on his elbow and hawk the sputum out onto the floor of the boat "Hey, Jack," one of the pilots on the stern hatch yelled, "keep the boat cleanWe don't want to scrub it after you guys "Aaah, blow it out," Polack shouted Croft called from his bunk, "Let's cut out that spittin', men There were no answersRed nodded to himselfIt was there, all right; he had waited a little anxiously for Croft to say something, had been relieved when Croft had not scolded him by name The bums in the flophouse who cringed when they were sober and cursed when they were drunk You carried it alone as long as you could, and then you weren't strong enough to take it any longe | | 7:06 am |

@@@@@Sir Thomas felt as an anxious
father must @@@@@Sir Thomas felt as an anxious father must feel, and was indeed experiencing much of the agitation which his wife had been apprehensive of for herself, but had fortunately escapedNorris, most happy to assist in the duties of the day, by spending it at the Park to support her sister’s spirits, and drinking the health of MrRushworth in a supernumerary glass or two, was all joyous delight; for she had made the match; she had done everything; and no one would have supposed, from her confident triumph, that she had ever heard of conjugal infelicity in her life, or could have the smallest insight into the disposition of the niece who had been brought up under her eye The plan of the young couple was to proceed, after a few days, to Brighton, and take a house there for some weeksEvery public place was new to Maria, and Brighton is almost as gay in winter as in summerWhen the novelty of amusement there was over, it would be time for the wider range of London Julia was to go with them to BrightonSince rivalry between the sisters had ceased, they had been gradually recovering much of their former good understanding; and were at least sufficiently friends to 177 Jane Austen make each of them exceedingly glad to be with the other at such a timeSome other companion than MrRushworth was of the first consequence to his lady; and Julia was quite as eager for novelty and pleasure as Maria, though she might not have struggled through so much to obtain them, and could better bear a subordinate situation Their departure made another material change at Mansfield, a chasm which required some time to fill upThe family circle became greatly contracted; and though the Miss Bertrams had latterly added little to its gaiety, they could not but be missedEven their mother missed them; and how much more their tenderhearted cousin, who wandered about the house, and thought of them, and felt for them, with a degree of affectionate regret which they had never done much to deserve! 178 Mansfield Park CHAPTER XXII FANNY’S CONSEQUENCE increased on the departure of her cousins Becoming, as she then did, the only young woman in the drawingroom, the only occupier of that interesting division of a family in which she had hitherto held so humble a third, it was impossible for her not to be more looked at, more thought of and attended to, than she had ever been before; and “Where is Fanny?” became no uncommon question, even without her being wanted for any one’s convenience Not only at home did her value increase, but at the Parsonage too In that house, which she had hardly entered twice a year since Mr Norris’s death, she became a welcome, an invited guest, and in the gloom and dirt of a November day, most acceptable to Mary CrawfordHer visits there, beginning by chance, were continued by solicitationGrant, really eager to get any change for her sister, could, by the easiest self-deceit, persuade herself that she was doing the kindest thing by Fanny, and giving her the most important opportunities of improvement in pressing her frequent calls Fanny, having been sent into the village on some errand by her aunt Norris, was overtaken by a heavy shower close to the Parsonage; and being descried from one of the windows endeavouring to find shelter under the branches and lingering leaves of an oak just beyond their premises, was forced, though not without some modest reluctance on her part, to come inA civil servant she had withstood; but when DrGrant himself went out with an umbrella, there was nothing to be done but to be very much ashamed, and to get into the house as fast as possible; and to poor Miss Crawford, who had just been contemplating the dismal rain in a very desponding state of mind, sighing over the ruin of all her plan of exercise for that morning, and of every chance of seeing a single creature be179 Jane Austen yond themselves for the next twenty-four hours, the sound of a little bustle at the front door, and the sight of Miss Price dripping with wet in the vestibule, was delightfulThe value of an event on a wet day in the country was most forcibly brought before herShe was all alive again directly, and among the most active in being useful to Fanny, in detecting her to be wetter than she would at first allow, and providing her with dry clothes; and Fanny, after being obliged to submit to all this attention, and to being assisted and waited on by mistresses and maids, being also obliged, on returning downstairs, to be fixed in their drawing-room for an hour while the rain continued, the blessing of something fresh to see and think of was thus extended to Miss Crawford, and might carry on her spirits to the period of dressing and dinner The two sisters were so kind to her, and so pleasant, that Fanny might have enjoyed her visit could she have believed herself not in the way, and could she have foreseen that the weather would certainly clear at the end of the hour, and save her from the shame of having D | | Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 | | 1:11 pm |

You're only gonna get your fuggin head blown off tomorrow His statement was lost in the skittering of the money onto the folded blanket upon which they were playing, but it left him with a cold shuddering anxiety as though he had blasphemed"Hail Mary, mother of he repeated quickly to himselfHe saw himself lying on the beach with a bloody nub where his head should have been His next card fell, a spadeWould they ship his body home, he wondered, and would Mary come to his grave?

PART ONE Wave

NOBODY COULD sleepWhen morning came, assault craft would be lowered and a first wave of troops would ride through the surf and charge ashore on the beach at AnopopeiAll over the ship, all through the convoy, there was a knowledge that in a few hours some of them were going to be dead
A soldier lies flat on his bunk, closes his eyes, and remains wide-awakeAll about him, like the soughing of surf, he hears the murmurs of men dozing fitfully"I won't do it, I won't do it," someone cries out of a dream, and the soldier opens his eyes and gazes slowly about the hold, his vision becoming lost in the intricate tangle of hammocks and naked bodies and dangling equipmentHe decides he wants to go to the head, and cursing a little, he wriggles up to a sitting position, his legs hanging over the bunk, the steel pipe of the hammock above cutting across his hunched backHe sighs, reaches for his shoes, which he has tied to a stanchion, and slowly puts them onHis bunk is the fourth in a tier of five, and he climbs down uncertainly in the half-darkness, afraid of stepping on one of the men in the hammocks below himOn the floor he picks his way through a tangle of bags and packs, stumbles once over a rifle, and makes his way to the bulkhead doorHe passes through another hold whose aisle is just as cluttered, and finally reaches the head Inside the air is steamingEven now a man is using the sole fresh-water shower, which has been occupied ever since the troops have come on boardThe soldier walks past the crap games in the unused salt-water shower stalls, and squats down on the wet split boards of the latrineHe has forgotten his cigarettes and he bums one from a man sitting a few feet awayAs he smokes he looks at the black wet floor littered with butts, and listens to the water sloshing through the latrine | | 7:06 am |
