    @@@@@It was quick and silent “Who’s left?” “
    @@@@@It was quick and silent
    “Who’s left?”
    “ ’Serrat’s chief of narcotics, of course, and two others—”
    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
    172
    “Describe them!”
    “I could not see clearly, but one I think was another black man, tall and without much hairThe
    third I could not see at all, for he—or she—was wearing strange clothes, with cloth over the head
    like a woman’s sun hat or insect veil
    “A woman?”
    “It is possible, sir? They’ve got to get out of there—he’s got to get out of there!”
    “Very soon they will run to this path and race down to the beach, where they will hide in the
    woods of the cove until a boat comes for themThey cannot go back to the
    inn, for strangers are seen instantly, and even though we are far away and the steel band is loud, the
    explosion was certainly heard by the guards posted outside
    “Listen to me,” said Bourne, his voice hoarse, tense“One of those three people is the man I
    want, and I want him for myself! So hold your fire because I’ll know him when I see himI don’t
    give a damn about the others; they can be flushed out of that cove later
    There was a sudden burst of gunfire from the tropical forest accompanied by screams from the
    once floodlit corridor beyond the ruins of the chapelThen one after another the figures raced out of
    the tangled brush into the pathThe first to be caught was the blond-haired police officer from
    Montserrat, the waist-high invisible fishing line tripping him as he fell into the dirt, breaking the
    thin, taut stringThe second man, slender, tall, dark-featured, with only a fringe of hair on his bald
    head, was hard upon the first, pulling him to his feet, sight or instinct making the second killer
    wield his automatic weapon in slashing arcs, cutting the impeding lines across the path to the ledge
    that led down to the beachThe third figure appearedIt was a man, in the
    robes of a monkThe Jackal!
    Bourne rose to his feet and stumbled out of the brush into the path, the Uzi in his hands; the
    victory was his, his freedom his, his family his! As the robed figure reached the top of the primitive
    rock-hewn staircase, Jason pressed his trigger finger, holding it in place, the fusillade of bullets
    exploding out of the automatic weapon
    The monk arched in silhouette, then fell, his body tumbling, rolling, sprawling down the steps
    carved out of volcanic rock, finally lurching over the edge and plummeting to the sand below
    Bourne raced down the awkward, irregular stone staircase, the two commandos behind himHe
    reached the beach, raced over to the corpse, and pulled the drenched hood away from the faceIn
    horror, he looked at the black features of Samuel, the brother priest of Tranquility Isle, the Judas
    who had sold his soul to the Jackal for thirty pieces of silver
    Suddenly, in the distance, there was the roar of powerful dual engines as a huge speedboat
    lurched out of a shadowed section of the cove and sped for a break in the reefsThe beam of a
    searchlight shot out, firing the barriers of rock protruding above the choppy black water, its wash
    illuminating the fluttering ensign of the government’s drug fleetThe Jackal was no
    chameleon, but he had changed! He had aged, grown thinner and bald—he was not the sharp,
    broad, full-headed muscular image of Jason’s memoryOnly the indistinct dark Latin features
    remained, the face and the unfamiliar expanse of bare skin above burned by the sunHe was gone!
    The boat’s motors screamed in unison as the craft breached a precarious opening in the reef and
    burst out into open wa

    @@@@@The pressure is my right arm first pushing
    @@@@@The
    pressure is my right arm first pushing against my
    side, then spreading, then splitting openBlood
    douses my lap like a bucket of hot water and I
    hear something breakingIt
    sounds like chickenbones under a bootheel
    I held Gandalf against me and thought Bring the
    friend, sit in the friend, sit in the fucking PAL,
    you dump bitch!
    And now I'm sitting in the chum, sitting in the
    fucking pal, it's at home but home doesn't feel
    like home with all the clocks of Europe ringing
    inside my cracked head and I can't remember the
    name of the doll Kamen gave me, all I can remember
    48
    is boy names: Randall, Russell, Rudolph, Riverfucking-
    PhoenixI tell her to leave me alone when
    she comes in with the fruit and the fucking
    college cheese, I tell her I need five minutesI
    can do this, I say, because it's the phrase Kamen
    gave me, it's the out, it's the meep-meep-meep
    that says watch it, Pammy, Edgar's backing upBut
    instead of leaving she takes the napkin from the
    tray to wipe the fret off my forehead and while
    she's doing that I grab her by the throat because
    in that moment it seems to me it's her fault I
    can't remember my doll's name, everything is her
    fault, including LINK-BELTI grab her with my
    good left handFor a few seconds I want to kill
    her, and who knows, maybe I tryWhat I do know is
    I'd rather remember all the accidents in this
    round world than the look in her eyes as she
    struggles in my gripThen I think It was RED! and
    let her go
    I held Gandalf against my chest as I had once held
    my infant daughters and thought, I can do thisI felt Gandalf's blood
    soak through my pants like hot water and thought,
    Go on, you sad fuck, get out of Dodge
    49
    I held Gandalf and thought of how it felt to be
    crushed alive as the cab of your truck eats the
    air around you and the breath leaves your body and
    the blood blows out of your nose and those
    snapping sounds as consciousness flees, those are
    the bones breaking inside your own body: your ribs,
    your arm, your hip, your leg, your cheek, your
    fucking skull
    I held Monica's dog and thought, in a kind of
    miserable triumph: It was RED!
    For a moment I was in a darkness shot with that
    red; then I opened my eyesI was clutching
    Gandalf to my chest with my left arm, and his eyes
    were staring up at my face -
    No, past itFreemantle?" It was John Hastings, the old
    guy who lived two houses up from the Goldsteins
    In his English tweed cap and sleeveless sweater,
    he looked ready for a hike on the Scottish moors
    Except, that was, for the expression of dismay on
    his face"Edgar? You can let him go now
    "Yes," I said, relaxing my grip on Gandalf"Would
    you help me get up?"
    50
    "I'm not sure I can," John said"I'd be more apt
    to pull us both down
    "Then go in and see if the Goldsteins are okay," I
    said
    "It is her dog," he sa

    @@@@@ Within a minute the crowd was cheering
    @@@@@ Within a minute the crowd was
    cheering itself hoarse, and it kept cheering until the band came before
    them, when silence fellIt was a small band, only two drummers and
    two men playing pennywhistles and one man playing a sweet, highpitched
    cornetBut they were dressed in gray, with gold sashes and bright
    brass buttonsAnd in front of them a man with one arm was holding
    the
    staff of the Confederate flag in his remaining handThe Stars and
    Bars
    was honorably tattered, and it was being paraded again through
    Peachtree StreetThroats were too choked with emotion to utter
    cheersScarlett felt tears on her cheeks, but they were not tears of
    defeat, they were tears of prideSherman's men had burned Atlanta,
    the Yankees had pillaged Georgia, but they hadn't been able to destroy
    the SouthShe saw tears like hers on the faces of the women, and
    the
    men, in front of herEveryone had lowered umbrellas to stand
    bare-headed to honor the flagThey stood tall and proud, exposed to
    the cold rain, for a long timeThe band was followed by a column of
    Confederate veterans in the ragged butternut homespun uniforms
    they'd
    come home inThey marched to "Dixie" as if they were young men
    again,
    and the rain-soaked Southerners watching them found their voices to
    cheer and whistle and let out the chilling, rousing cry that was the
    Rebel YellThe cheering lasted until the veterans were out of
    sight
    Then umbrellas swung upward and people began to leaveThey'd
    forgot
    ten Rex, and Twelfth NightThe high point of the parade had come
    and
    gone, leaving them wet and chilled but exalted
    Scarlett heard it from dozens of smiling mouths as people passed her
    gate"There's more parade to come," she said to some of them
    "Can't top 'Dixie,' can it?" they repliedEven
    she didn't feel interested in seeing the floats, and she'd worked very
    hard on hersSpent a lot of money, too, on crepe paper and tinsel
    that the rain must have ruinedAt least she could sit down to watch
    now, that was somethingShe didn't want to tire herself out when
    tonight was the Masquerade BallTen endless minutes dragged by
    before
    the first float appeared

    smolderedClapped on her head was the straw hat
    I'd seen on my walks, but on my walks I hadn't
    realized how enormous it was - not just a hat but
    a battered sombreroHer resemblance to Marlon
    Brando at the end of The Godfather - when he's
    playing with his grandson in the garden - was
    unmistakableThere was something in her lap that
    did not quite look like a pistol
    Ilse and I both wavedFor a moment she did
    nothingThen she raised one hand, palm out, in an
    Indian How gesture, and broke into a sunny and
    nearly toothless grinWhat seemed like a thousand
    wrinkles creased her face, turning her into a
    benign witchI never even glimpsed the house
    behind her; I was still trying to cope with her
    sudden appearance, her cool blue sneakers, her
    delta of wrinkles, and her -

    great smile, wasn't it?"
    I nodded
    The hacienda was the last house on Duma Key's open
    north endBeyond it, the road swung inland and
    the foliage crowded up in a way I found first
    interesting, then awesome, then claustrophobic
    The masses of greenery towered to a height of
    twelve feet at least, the round leaves streaked a
    dark vermillion that looked like dried blood

    The net result: I still have the old way I used to think, and I have Peter's way of looking at the same problem or situationI have two thoughts instead of one One more way to analyze a problem or trend, and that is pricelessToday, I often say, "How would Peter Lynch do this, or Donald Trump or Warren Buffett or George Soros?" The only way I can access their vast mental power is to be humble enough to read or listen to what they have to sayArrogant or critical people are often people with low self-esteem who are afraid of taking risksYou see, if you learn something new, you are then required to make mistakes in order to fully understand what you have learned
    If you have read this far, arrogance is not one of your problemsArrogant people rarely read or buy tapesWhy should they? They are the center of the universe
    There are so many "intelligent" people who argue or defend when a new idea clashes with the way they thinkIn this case, their so-called "intelligence" combined with "arrogance" equals "ignorance"Each of us knows people who are highly educated, or believe they are smart, but their balance sheet paints a different pictureA truly intelligent person welcomes new ideas, for new ideas can add to the synergy of other accumulated ideasListening is more important than talkingIf that was not true, God would not have given us two ears and only one mouthToo many people think with their mouth instead of listening to absorb new ideas and possibilitiesThey argue instead of asking questions
    I take a long view on my wealthI do not subscribe to the "Get rich quick" mentality most lottery players or casino gamblers haveI may go in and out of stocks, but I am long on educationIf you want to fly an airplane, I advise taking lessons firstI am always shocked at people who buy stocks or real estate, but never invest in their greatest asset, their mindJust because you bought a house or two does not make you an expert at real estateCHOOSE FRIENDS CAREFULLY: The power of associationFirst of all, I do not choose my friends by their financial stateme

    "We-you-coming-to-get They had shouted that at Croft and him, and he shuddered now, bringing his hands up before his face"We got to stop 'em, men, they're comin' now," he moaned, pitching on the litter"Banzaaiiiigh, aaiiiiiiiigh!" he shouted, the sounds gurgling in his throat"Come on, recon, up, git up here!"
    The litter-bearers halted and set him down"What's he yellin' about?" Brown asked
    "I cain't see 'em, I jus' cain't see 'emWhere the hell's the flares?" Wilson bawledHe was grasping a machine-gun handle in his left palm, his forefinger extended to the trigger"Who the hell's at the other gun? I cain't remember
    Ridges shook his head"He's talkin' 'bout that Jap attack on the river
    Something of Wilson's panic transferred to the other menGoldstein and Ridges, who had been on the river, stared at Wilson uneasilyThe vast barren stretches of the hills about them seemed a little foreboding now
    "I hope we don't run into any Japanese," Goldstein said
    "They ain't a chance," Brown told himHe mopped the sweat out of his eyes, stared weakly into the distance"Nobody around," he panted, but a feeling of weakness, of desperation welled in himIf they were to fall into an ambush nowHe felt like crying againThere were too many things asked of him, and he was so enfeebledA vortex of nausea resolved itself in his stomach, and he retched emptily, obtaining a mild relief from the coldness of his sweatBrown heard himself saying, "We gotta move on, men

    repeated
    the beautiful strange nameIt sounded like musicAnd like no name
    she'd ever heard beforeThen she was silent; so were Colum and
    Kathleen; each of them looked at the broad blue cheap gucci sparkling waters of
    Galway Bay with private thoughtsColum saw Ireland ahead and his
    shirt
    swelled with love for her and pain for her sufferingsAs he did many
    times every day, he renewed his vow to destroy the oppressors of
    his country and to restore her to her own peopleHe felt no anxiety
    about the weapons concealed in Scarlett's trunksCustoms officials in
    Galway concentrated mainly on ships' cargoes, gucci women watch making sure that duty

    very good fortune, Colum thought, that he'd managed to convince
    Scarlett to comeHer petticoats were much better for hiding guns
    than
    the dozens of American boots and calicoes he'd dior handbags boughtAnd she
    might
    even loosen her purse strings a bit when she saw the poverty of her

    because she was so unthinkingly self-centeredHe was a priest, and
    human frailty was Iorgivable-so long as the humans were not English

    just as he was fond of all the O'Hara children

    against the door, slamming it shutNow!
    Jason spun around the edge of the van, his weapon exploding, firing into the Spanish uniform,
    blowing the gun out of the Jackal’s handsOne, two, three; the shells flew in the air—and then they
    stopped! They stopped, the explosions replaced by a sickening, jamming click as the round in the
    chamber failed to ejectCarlos lurched to the ground for his weapon, his left arm limp and bleeding
    but his right hand still strong, clutching the gun like the claw of a crazed animal
    Bourne whipped his bayonet out of its scabbard- and sprang forward, cartier pasha watch slicing the blade down
    toward the Jackal’s forearmHe was too late! Carlos held the weapon! Jason lunged up, his left
    hand clasping the hot barrel—hold on, hold on! You can’t let it go! Twist it! Clockwise! Use the
    bayonet—no, don’t! Drop it! Use both hands! The conflicting commands clashed in his head,
    madnessHe had no breath, no strength; his eyes could not focus—the shoulderLike Bourne
    himself, the Jackal was wounded in his right shoulder!
    Hold on! Reach the shoulder but hold on! With a last, gasping final surge, Bourne shot up and
    crashed Carlos back into the side of the van, pummeling the wounded areaThe Jackal louis vuitton multicolore screamed,
    dropping the weapon, then kicked it under the vehicle
    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

    Where the blow came from, Jason at first did not know; he only knew that the left side of his
    skull seemed suddenly split in twoThen he realized that he had done it to himself! He had slipped
    on the blood-covered gravel, and had crashed into the metal grille of the vanIt did not matter—
    nothing mattered!
    Carlos the Jackal was racing away! With the rampant confusion everywhere, there were a
    hundred ways he could get out of NovgorodIt had all been for nothing!
    Still, there was his last grenadeWhy not? Bourne removed it, pulled the chanel logo earrings pin, and threw it over
    the van into the center of the parking areaThe explosion followed and Jason got to his feet;
    perhaps the grenade would tell Benjamin something, warn him to keep his eyes on the area
    Staggering and barely able to walk, Jason started for the break in the fence that led to the
    guardhouse and the tunnel Oh, God, Marie, I failed! I’m so sorryNothing! It was for nothing!
    And then, as if all Novgorod were having a final laugh at his expense, he saw that someone had
    opened the iron gates to the tunnel, giving the Jackal his invitation to freedom?” Benjamin’s astonished voice floated over the sounds of the hermes bag river, followed by the
    sight of the young Soviet running out of the guardhouse toward Bourne“Christ almighty, I thought
    you were dead!”
    “So you opened the gates and let my executioner walk away,” yelled Jason weakly“Why didn’t
    you send a limousine for him?”
    “I suggest you look again, Professor,” replied a breathless Benjamin as he stopped in front of
    Bourne, studying Jason’s battered face and bloodstained clothing“Old age has withered your
    eyesight

    @@@@@Here he was again on the same ground where all had
    passed before, and apparently as willing to stay and be happy without
    the Miss Bertrams, as if he had never known Mansfield in any
    other stateShe heard them spoken of by him only in a general way,
    till they were all re-assembled in the drawing-room, when Edmund,
    being engaged apart in some matter of business with DrGrant,
    which seemed entirely to engross them, and MrsGrant occupied at
    the tea-table, he began talking of them with more particularity to
    his other sisterWith a significant smile, which made Fanny quite
    hate him, he said, “So! Rushworth and his fair bride are at Brighton,
    I understand; happy man!”
    “Yes, they have been there about a fortnight, Miss Price, have they
    not? And Julia is with themYates, I presume, is not far offYates! Oh! we hear nothing of MrI do not imagine he
    figures much in the letters to Mansfield Park; do you, Miss Price? I
    think my friend Julia knows better than to entertain her father with
    Mr
    “Poor Rushworth and his two-and-forty speeches!” continued
    Crawford“Nobody can ever forget themPoor fellow! I see him
    now—his toil and his despairWell, I am much mistaken if his lovely
    Maria will ever want him to make two-and-forty speeches to her”;
    adding, with a momentary seriousness, “She is too good for him—
    much too good And then changing his tone again to one of gentle
    195
    Jane Austen
    gallantry, and addressing Fanny, he said, “You were MrRushworth’s
    best friendYour kindness and patience can never be forgotten, your
    indefatigable patience in trying to make it possible for him to learn
    his part—in trying to give him a brain which nature had denied—
    to mix up an understanding for him out of the superfluity of your
    own! He might not have sense enough himself to estimate your kindness,
    but I may venture to say that it had honour from all the rest of
    the party
    Fanny coloured, and said nothing
    “It is as a dream, a pleasant dream!” he exclaimed, breaking forth
    again, after a few minutes’ musing“I shall always look back on our
    theatricals with exquisite pleasureThere was such an interest, such
    an animation, such a spirit diffusedThere was employment, hope, solicitude, bustle, for every hour
    of the dayAlways some little objection, some little doubt, some
    little anxiety to be got over
    With silent indignation Fanny repeated to herself, “Never happier!—
    never happier than when doing what you must know was
    not justifiable!—never happier than when behaving so dishonourably
    and unfeelingly! Oh! what a corrupted mind!”
    “We were unlucky, Miss Price,” he continued, in a lower tone, to
    avoid the possibility of being heard by Edmund, and not at all aware
    of her feelings, “we certainly were very unluckyAnother week, only
    one other week, would have been enough for usI think if we had
    had the disposal of events—if Mansfield Park had had the government
    of the winds just for a week or two, about the equinox, there
    would have been a differenceNot that we would have endangered
    his safety by any tremendous weather—but only by a steady contrary

    @@@@@It had been a botch, and Hearn was dead
    Well, one could not really call it a shockStill, for a little while, Hearn had been the only man in the division who was capable of understanding his more ambitious plans, capable even of understanding himBut Hearn had not been big enoughHe had looked, become frightened, and crawled away, throwing mud
    He knew why he had punished him, he knew it was not accidental that he had assigned Hearn to reconAnd his end had not been unforeseenCummings had extracted at first a fragile grain of pleasure from itfor an instant when he first heard the news of Hearn's death, it had hurt him, wrenched his heart with a cruel fistHe had almost grieved for Hearn, and then it had been covered over by something else, something more complexFor days whenever Cummings thought of the Lieutenant he would feel a mingled pain and satisfaction
    In the end the important thing was always to tot up your profit and lossThe campaign had taken a week more than had been allowed for it, and that was not going to count too effectively for himBut there had been a time only a week or two ago when he would have settled for an extra monthBesides, as far as Army was concerned, the campaign had been won by the side invasion of BotoiThat would be undeniably in his favorAltogether, he had not been either fundamentally hurt or benefited by AnopopeiWhen the Philippines came up he would have the entire division to employ and a chance to achieve some more striking resultsBut before that the men would have to be shaken up, given vigorous training, and their discipline would have to be improvedHe had again the same anger he had felt in the last month of the Anopopei campaignThe men resisted him, resisted change, with maddening inertiaNo matter how you pushed them, they always gave ground sullenly, regrouped once the pressure was offYou could work on them, you could trick them, but there were times now when he doubted basically whether he could change them, really mold themAnd it might be the same thing again in the PhilippinesWith all his enemies at Army, he did not have much chance of gaining an added star before the Philippines, and with that would go all chance of an Army command before the war ended
