    @@@@@The only specific person he knew about, and
    @@@@@The only
    specific person he knew about, and not by name, was Carlos’s mole high up in the KGB, but he
    said Carlos claimed to have others in key positions at various powerful departments, that as the
    monseigneur he’d been sending them money for years
    “So the Jackal thinks he forms a core of supporters within our government,” observed Krupkin
    “Despite everything, he still believes he can come backHe is, indeed, an egomaniac but he’s never
    understood the Russian mindHe may temporarily corrupt a few cynical opportunists, but these will
    cover themselves and turn on himNo one looks forward to a stay at the Lubyanka or a Siberian
    gulagThe Jackal’s Potemkin village will burn to the ground
    “All the more reason for him to race to Moscow and put out the brushfires,” said Alex
    “What do you mean?” asked Bourne
    “The burning will start with the exposure of Carlos’s man in Dzerzhinsky Square; he’ll know
    thatThe only way to prevent it is for him to reach Moscow and make a determinationEither his
    informer will elude internal security or the Jackal will have to kill him
    “I forgot,” interrupted Bourne“Something else Santos said most of the Russians on Carlos’s
    payroll spoke FrenchLook for a man high up in the Komitet who speaks French
    Krupkin’s radio again intruded, the two piercing beeps barely muffled by his jacketHe pulled it
    out and spoke“Yes?”
    “I don’t know how or why, comrade,” said the tense voice of Sergei, “but the ambassador’s
    limousine has just arrived at the buildingI swear to you I have no idea what happened!”
    “I do
    “But the embassy flags will be seen by everyone!”
    “Including, I trust, an alert old man in a brown automobileWe’ll be down shortly
    Krupkin turned to the others“The car’s here, gentlemenWhere shall we meet, Domie? And
    when?”
    “Tonight,” replied Lavie

    Still, I painted the way I supposed most other
    artists painted: as if it were a job instead of
    some speed-trip insanity that came and went in
    spasmsI did it with the radio on, now always
    tuned to The Bone
    On the fourth day, Wireman brought me a revised
    contract and told me I could signHe said
    Nannuzzi wanted to photograph my paintings and
    make slides for a lecture at the Selby Library in
    Sarasota in mid-March, a month before my show
    507
    openedThe sale gucci handbags lecture, Wireman said, would be
    attended by sixty or seventy art patrons from the
    Tampa-Sarasota areaI told him fine and signed
    the contract
    Dario came out that afternoonI was impatient for
    him to click his pix and be gone so I could go
    back to workMostly to make conversation, I asked
    him who would be giving the lecture at the Selby
    Library
    Dario looked at me with one eyebrow cocked, as if
    I had made a joke"The one person in the world
    who is now conversant tiffany diamond with your work," he said"I can't give a lecture! I don't
    know anything about art!"
    He swept his arm at the paintings, which Jack and
    two part-timers from the Scoto were going to crate
    and transport to Sarasota the following weekThey
    would remain crated, I assumed, in the storage
    area at the back of the gallery, until just before
    the show opened"These say different, my friend
    "Dario, these people know stuff! They've taken
    courses! I'll bet most of them replica tiffany jewelry were art majors,
    508
    for Christ's sake! What do you want me to do,
    stand up there and say duh?"
    "That's pretty much what Jackson Pollock did when
    he talked about his workAnd
    it made him rich Dario came over to me and took
    me by the stumpVery few
    people will touch the stump of a limb; it's as if
    they believe, down deep, that amputation might be
    catching"Listen, my friend, these are important
    peopleNot just because they have money, but
    because they're Chloe Purse interested in new artists and each
    one knows three more who feel the sameAfter the
    lecture - your lecture - the talk will startThe
    kind of talk that almost always turns into that
    magical thing called 'buzz'"
    He paused, twiddling the strap of his camera and
    smiling a little
    "All you have to do is talk about how you began,
    and how you grew-"
    "Dario, I don't know how I grew!"
    "Then say thatSay anything! You're an artist,
    for God's sake!"

    took out a pair of canvas shoes with rubber soles
    Scarlett watched in silent stubbornnessRhett took his time, removing
    his hoots, putting on the shoes, placing the boots in the bag,
    tightening the drawstring, making an intricate-looking knot in itHe
    looked at her with a sudden smile that took her breath away
    "Stay right there, Scarlett, a wise man knows when he's beaten
    I'll stow this gear and come back for you In a flash he hoisted the
    bag on his shoulder and was halfway down the ladder before Scarlett
    understood what he was talking about"You skinnied down and up
    that
    thing like greased lightning," she said with honest admiration when
    Rhett was beside her again"Or a monkey," he corrected"Come on,
    my
    dear, time and tide wait for no man, not even a woman Scarlett was
    no stranger to ladders, and she had a good head for heightsAs a
    child she had climbed trees to their topmost swaying branches and
    scampered up into the hayloft of the barn as if its narrow ladder were
    a broad flight of stairsBut she was grateful for Rhett's steadying
    arm around her waist on the algae-coated rungs, and very glad to

    the relative stability of the small boatShe sat quietly on the board

    "Can't we stay out all day? I'm having such a good time
    "Another hour; I have a meeting with my lawyers this afternoon
    "Bother your lawyers," said Scarlett, but under her breathShe
    refused to get angry and spoil her pleasureShe looked at the
    sunspangled water and the white curls of foam on each side of the

    @@@@@I see but I can’t remember
    “The facts aren’t important anymore; they’re buried along with several thousand other
    questionable eventsApparently a large narcotics deal went sour in the Triangle and your scout was
    held responsible, so a few hotshots in Saigon thought a lesson should be taught their gook runners
    They flew up to your territory, went into the grass, and took him out like they were a VC advance
    unitBut you saw them from a piece of high ground and blew all your gasketsYou tracked them
    back to the helicopter pad and gave them a choice: Get in and you’d storm the chopper leaving no
    survivors, or they could come back with you to the base campThey came back under your men’s
    guns and you forced Field Command to accept your multiple charges of murderThat’s when Ice-
    Cold Ogilvie showed up looking after his Saigon boys
    “Then something happened, didn’t it? Something crazy—everything got confused, twistedBryce got you on the stand and made you look like a maniac, a sullen
    pathological liar and a killer who, except for the war and your expertise, would be in a maximum
    security prisonHe called you everything in the rotten black book and demanded that you reveal
    your real name—which you wouldn’t do, couldn’t do, because your first wife’s Cambodian family
    would have been slaughteredHe tried to tie you in verbal knots, and, failing that, threatened the

    thugs got off for lack of credible testimony, and after the trial you had to be physically restrained in
    the barracks until Ogilvie was airborne back to Saigon
    “His name was Kwan Soo,” said Bourne dreamily, his head moving back and forth as if
    rejecting a nightmare“He was a kid, maybe sixteen or seventeen, sending the drug money back to
    three villages so they could eatThere wasn’t any other way oh, shit! What would any of us have
    done if our families were starving?”
    “That wasn’t anything you could say at the trial and you knew itYou had to hold your tongue
    and take Ogilvie’s vicious crapI came up and watched you and I never saw a man exercise such
    control over his hatred
    “That isn’t the way I seem to recall it—what I can recallSome of it’s coming back, not much,
    but some

    like a chameleon Their eyes locked, and Jason turned back to the television screen

    I shook my head

    "That just proves that fame's a fleeting thing
    During the Roaring Twenties, Davis was a god down
    here on the Suncoast

    bangles on her scrawny wrist jangled; somewhere
    not too distant, a church-bell marked the hour of
    two

    mouth of the Hillsborough RiverTalked the Tampa
    city fathers into moving both the hospital and the
    radio station here, back when radio was a bigger
    deal than health careHe built strange and
    beautiful apartment complexes in a time when the
    concept of an apartment complex was unknownHe
    put up hotels and swank nightclubsHe threw the
    dough around, married a beauty contest winner,
    divorced her, married her againHe was worth
    millions when a million dollars was worth what
    twelve million is todayAnd one of his best

    John were as rich as Croesus - Dave with his land
    and building speculations, John with his mills -
    but Davis was a peacock and Eastlake was more of a
    plain brown wrenJust as well for him, because
    you know what happens to peacocks, don't you?"
    "They get their tailfeathers chopped off?"
    She took a drag on her latest cigarette, then
    pointed the fingers holding it at me as she jetted
    smoke from her nostrils"That would be correct,

    invested pretty much everything he had in what you

    @@@@@I leaned there and waited
    to be eaten by the twelve-foot-long horror that
    lived in John Eastlake's old swimming pool
    Wireman never hesitatedHe stripped the red
    basket from Jack's hands, dropped it on the ground,
    and knelt beside it, flipping back one end as he
    did soHe reached in and produced the largest
    handgun I had ever seen outside of a motion
    pictureKneeling there in the high grass with the
    open picnic basket in front of him, Wireman
    gripped it in both handsI had a good angle on
    his face, and I thought then and still think now
    that he looked perfectly sereneespecially for
    963
    a man facing what could be seen as a snake writ
    large
    "Shoot it!" Jack screamedAnd beyond him, I saw the heron
    It was floating in the air above the long,
    overgrown utility building behind the tennis court
    It was floating upside down"Safety catch?"
    "Caray," he murmured, and flicked something with
    his thumbA red spot high on the pistol's
    handgrip winked out of viewHe never took his
    eyes from the high grass, which had now begun to
    shakeThen it parted, and the alligator came at
    himI had seen them on the Discovery Channel and
    National Geographic specials, but nothing prepared
    me for how fast that thing could move on those
    stub-legsThe grass had brushed most of the mud
    from its rudiment of a face, and I could see its
    enormous smile
    "Now!" Jack screamedThe report was tremendous - it went
    rolling away like something solid, something made
    of stone - and the result was tremendous, as well
    The top half of the alligator's head came off in a
    964
    cloud of mud, blood, and fleshIt didn't slow
    down; to the contrary, those stubby legs seemed to
    speed up as it ran off the last thirty feet or so
    I could hear the grass whickering harshly along
    its plated sides
    The barrel of the gun rose with the recoilI've never seen calm like that,
    and it still amazes meWhen the gun came back to
    dead level, the alligator was no more than fifteen

    had not yet gone through all the changes of opinion and sentiment
    which the progress of time and variation of circumstances occasion
    in this world of changesThe vicissitudes of the human mind had
    not yet been exhausted by her
    Poor Fanny! though going as she did willingly and eagerly, the last
    evening at Mansfield Park must still be wretchednessHer heart was
    completely sad at partingShe had tears for every room in the house,
    much more for every beloved inhabitantShe clung to her aunt,
    because she would miss her; she kissed the hand of her uncle with
    struggling sobs, because she had displeased him; and as for Edmund,
    she could neither speak, nor look, nor think, when the last moment
    came with him; and it was not till it was over that she knew he was
    giving her the affectionate farewell of a brother
    All this passed overnight, for the journey was to begin very early
    in the morning; and when the small, chanel tote diminished party met at breakfast,
    William and Fanny were talked of as already advanced one
    stage

    Mansfield Park
    CHAPTER XXXVIII
    THE NOVELTY OF TRAVELLING, and the happiness of being with William,
    soon produced their natural effect on Fanny’s spirits, when
    Mansfield Park was fairly left behind; and by the time their first
    stage was ended, and they were to quit Sir Thomas’s carriage, she
    was able to take leave of the old coachman, and send back proper
    messages, with cheerful looks
    Of pleasant talk between the brother and sister there was no end
    Everything supplied an amusement to the high glee of William’s
    mind, and he was full of frolic and joke in the intervals of their
    higher-toned subjects, all of which ended, if they did not begin, in
    praise of the Thrush, conjectures how she would be employed,
    schemes for an action with some superior force, which (supposing
    the first lieutenant out of the way, and William was not very merciful
    to cartier must 21 the first lieutenant) was to give himself the next step as soon
    as possible, or speculations upon prize-money, which was to be generously
    distributed at home, with only the reservation of enough to
    make the little cottage comfortable, in which he and Fanny were to
    pass all their middle and later life together
    Fanny’s immediate concerns, as far as they involved MrCrawford,
    made no part of their conversationWilliam knew what had passed,
    and from his heart lamented that his sister’s feelings should be so
    cold towards a man whom he must consider as the first of human
    characters; but he was of an age to be all for love, and therefore
    unable to blame; and knowing her wish on the subject, he would
    not distress her by the slightest allusion
    She had reason to suppose herself not yet forgotten by MrShe had heard repeatedly from his sister within the three
    weeks which had passed since their leaving Mansfield, and in each
    letter there had been a few chanel bag price lines from himself, warm and deter327

    mined like his speechesIt was a correspondence which Fanny found
    quite as unpleasant as she had fearedMiss Crawford’s style of writing,
    lively and affectionate, was itself an evil, independent of what
    she was thus forced into reading from the brother’s pen, for Edmund
    would never rest till she had read the chief of the letter to him; and
    then she had to listen to his admiration of her language, and the
    warmth of her attachmentsThere had, in fact, been so much of
    message, of allusion, of recollection, so much of Mansfield in every
    letter, that Fanny could not but suppose it meant for him to hear;
    and to find herself forced into a purpose of that kind, compelled
    into a correspondence which was bringing her the addresses of the
    man she did not love, and obliging her to administer to the adverse
    passion of the man she did, was cruelly mortifyingHere, too, her
