@@@@@
Even with my palm over one ear, it ripped @@@@@ Even with my palm over one ear, it ripped through my headI thought I heard Wireman yell, but I wasn't sure Jack pushed the power button again and the hellish blizzard of noise cut out"I think we should skip the tunes," he said "Wireman? All right?" My voice seemed to be coming from far away, through a steady low ringing noise ix Jack might have made it a little way beyond the point where Ilse got sick; maybe notIt was hard to tell once the growth got highThe road narrowed to a stripe, its surface humped and buckled by the roots running beneath itThe foliage had interlaced above us, blotting out most of the skyIt was like being in a living tunnel 936 The windows were rolled up, but even so, the car was filling with a green and fecund jungle smell Jack tested the old Mercedes's springs on a particularly egregious pothole, thumped up over a ridge in the pavement on the far side, then slammed to a stop and put the transmission in PARK "I'm sorry," he saidHis mouth was quivering and his eyes were too big"I'm-" I knew perfectly well what he was Jack fumbled open the door, leaned out, and vomitedI'd thought the smell of the jungle (that's what it was once you were a mile past El Palacio) was strong in the car, but what came rolling in with the door open was ten times headier, thick and green and viciously aliveYet I did not hear a single bird calling in that mass of junk foliageThe only sound was Jack losing his breakfastAt last he collapsed back against the seatHe thought I looked like a snowbird again? That was sort of funny, because on that early afternoon in mid-April, Jack Cantori was as pale as March in MinnesotaInstead of twenty-one, he looked a sickly forty-fiveIt must have been 937 the tuna salad, Ilse had said, but it hadn't been the tunaSomething from the sea, all right, but not the tuna "I'm sorry," he said | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 6:11 am |

Mansfield Park
Fanny’s gratitude, when @@@@@ 70 Mansfield Park Fanny’s gratitude, when she heard the plan, was, in fact, much greater than her pleasureShe felt Edmund’s kindness with all, and more than all, the sensibility which he, unsuspicious of her fond attachment, could be aware of; but that he should forego any enjoyment on her account gave her pain, and her own satisfaction in seeing Sotherton would be nothing without him The next meeting of the two Mansfield families produced another alteration in the plan, and one that was admitted with general approbationGrant offered herself as companion for the day to Lady Bertram in lieu of her son, and DrGrant was to join them at dinner Lady Bertram was very well pleased to have it so, and the young ladies were in spirits againEven Edmund was very thankful for an arrangement which restored him to his share of the party; and MrsNorris thought it an excellent plan, and had it at her tongue’s end, and was on the point of proposing it, when Mrs Wednesday was fine, and soon after breakfast the barouche arrived, MrCrawford driving his sisters; and as everybody was ready, there was nothing to be done but for MrsGrant to alight and the others to take their placesThe place of all places, the envied seat, the post of honour, was unappropriatedTo whose happy lot was it to fall? While each of the Miss Bertrams were meditating how best, and with the most appearance of obliging the others, to secure it, the matter was settled by MrsGrant’s saying, as she stepped from the carriage, “As there are five of you, it will be better that one should sit with Henry; and as you were saying lately that you wished you could drive, Julia, I think this will be a good opportunity for you to take a lesson Happy Julia! Unhappy Maria! The former was on the barouchebox in a moment, the latter took her seat within, in gloom and mortification; and the carriage drove off amid the good wishes of the two remaining ladies, and the barking of Pug in his mistress’s arms Their road was through a pleasant country; and Fanny, whose rides had never been extensive, was soon beyond her knowledge, and was very happy in observing all that was new, and admiring all that was prettyShe was not often invited to join in the conversation of the others, nor did she desire itHer own thoughts and 71 Jane Austen reflections were habitually her best companions; and, in observing the appearance of the country, the bearings of the roads, the difference of soil, the state of the harvest, the cottages, the cattle, the children, she found entertainment that could only have been heightened by having Edmund to speak to of what she feltThat was the only point of resemblance between her and the lady who sat by her: in everything but a value for Edmund, Miss Crawford was very unlike herShe had none of Fanny’s delicacy of taste, of mind, of feeling; she saw Nature, inanimate Nature, with little observation; her attention was all for men and women, her talents for the light and livelyIn looking back after Edmund, however, when there was any stretch of road behind them, or when he gained on them in ascending a considerable hill, they were united, and a “there he is” broke at the same moment from them both, more than once For the first seven miles Miss Bertram had very little real comfort: her prospect always ended in MrCrawford and her sister sitting side by side, full of conversation and merriment; and to see only his expressive profile as he turned with a smile to Julia, or to catch the laugh of the other, was a perpetual source of irritation, which her own sense of propriety could but just smooth overWhen Julia looked back, it was with a countenance of delight, and whenever she spoke to them, it was in the highest spirits: “her view of the country was charming, she wished they could all see it,” etc but her only offer of exchange was addressed to Miss Crawford, as they gained the summit of a long hill, and was not more inviting than this: “Here is a fine burst of coun | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 6:11 am |

@@@@@It had been planned as a temporary halt @@@@@It had been planned as a temporary halt before breaching the Toyaku Line, but the layoff was fatalWhen Cummings started again, his tactics were as well conceived as they had ever been, his staff performances as thorough, his patrols as carefully planned, but nothing happenedThe front had been given its first chance to solidify, and like a weary animal it had done even more; it had fallen asleep, it had hibernatedA deep and unshakable lethargy settled over the front-line troops In the two weeks that followed the rest period, after a series of intensive patrols and strong local attacks, his lines had advanced a total of four hundred yards in a few sectors, and had captured a total of three Japanese outpostsCompanies went out on combat patrols, engaged in desultory fire fights, and then retreated back to their bivouacsThe few times an important piece of terrain was taken, the men had relinquished it at the first serious counterattackAs a sure sign of the reluctant temper of the troops, the best line officers were becoming casualties now, and Cummings knew the type of engagement that signifiedAn attack would be made on some strong point, and the men would lag behind, the co-ordination would be poor, and it would end with a few men, a few good officers, and noncoms engaging a superior force while their support evaporated Cummings made several trips to the front and found the men had bedded downThe bivouacs had been improved, there were drainage pits and overhead covers on the foxholes, and in a few companies duckwalks had been laid in the mudThe men would not have done this if they expected to moveIt represented security and permanence, and it introduced a very dangerous change in their attitudesOnce they halted and stayed in one place long enough for it to assume familiar connotations, it was immeasurably harder to get them to fight againThey were dogs in their own kennel now, Cummings decided, and they would bark sullenly at orders Each day that elapsed without any fundamental change on the front would only increase their apathy, and yet Cummings knew that he was temporarily powerlessAfter intense preparation, he had mounted a large attack with good artillery plotting, some Air Corps bomber support which had been granted only after much pleading, had thrown his tanks into it, his reserve troops, and after a day the attack had ground down to nothing; the troops had halted before the most insignificant resistance, had gained in one small sector perhaps a quarter mileWhen they had done and the losses been counted, the minor alterations in his front line established, he had all of the Toyaku Line still before him, unbreached, unthreatenedIndeed, it was terrifyingThe communications from corps and army were growing progressively impatientSoon, like a traffic jam, that pressure would be backed up all the way to Washington, and Cummings could imagine without difficulty the conversations that must be going on in certain rooms of the Pentagon"Well, what's happening here, what's this, Anopopei, what's holding it up, whose division, Cummings, Cummings, well, get the man out of there, get someone else He had known it was dangerous to rest the troops for a week, but it was a gamble he had had to take while he finished the road, and it had boomerangedThe shock cut deeply into the General's confidenceThe process at most times was unbelievable to him, and he was suffering the amazement and terror of a driver who finds his machine directing itself, starting and halting when it desi | | Friday, December 10th, 2010 | | 6:18 am |
