    @@@@@That Pam's hands had laundered
    these gloves, then picked them up and put them in
    the white box inside the UPS package
    That Pam was the experimentor so I told myself,
    but we fool ourselves so much we could do it for a

    I didn't wait for sunset, because at least I
    didn't fool myself that I was interested in
    painting a picture; I was interested in painting
    informationI took my wife's unnaturally clean
    gardening gloves (she must have really rammed the
    bleach to them) up to Little Pink and sat down in
    front of my easelThere was a fresh canvas there,
    waitingTo the left were two tablesOne was for
    photos from my digital camera and various found
    objectsThe other stood on a small green
    tarpaulinIt held about two dozen paint-pots,
    several jars partly filled with turpentine, and
    several bottles of the Zephyr Hills water I used
    as rinseIt was quite the messy, busy little
    work-station
    I held the gloves in my lap, closed my eyes, and
    pretended I was touching them with my right handNo pain, no itching, no sense
    of phantom fingers caressing the rough, worn
    fabricI sat there willing it to come - whatever
    it was - and got more nothingI might as well
    have been commanding my body to shit when it
    201
    didn't need toAfter five long minutes, I opened
    my eyes again and looked down at the gloves on my
    lap: HANDSUseless fucking things
    Don't get mad, get even, I thoughtAnd then I
    thought, Too lateAt these gloves and
    the woman who wore themAs for getting even?
    "Too late for that, too," I said, and looked at my
    stump"I'll never be heaven againAlways the wrong word, and it
    would go on like that for-fucking-everI felt
    like knocking everything off my stupid goddam

    He took a deep breath, a gaspI felt the air move women rolex watches and squeezed my eyes tighter
    It made a squishing sound and a thud–that was the first thing I noticed–and then the shock of

    @@@@@ His rage was just beginning to function; a furious uncontrolled anger tightened his mouth, set his heart beating over-rapidly, and tingled in the tips of his fingersHe walked over to his refrigerator and poured himself a glass of water, which he drank with short distraught swallowsFor an instant, deep beneath the currents of his rage, there was another feeling, an odd compound of disgust and fear perhaps, and something else, a curious troubled excitement, a momentary submission as if he had been a young girl undressing before the eyes of a roomful of strange menBut his rage choked this off, expanded inside him until it clotted all the conduits of his emotion, and left him trembling with an unendurable wrathIf he had been holding an animal in his hands at that instant he would have strangled it
    And with it was another sort of fear, overt and aware; what Hearn had done was equivalent to a soldier's laying hands on his personTo Cummings it was a symbol of the independence of his troops, their resistance to himThe fear, the respect his soldiers held for him now was a rational one, an admission of his power to punish them, and that was not enoughThe other kind of fear was lacking, the unreasoning one in which his powers were immense and it was effectively a variety of sacrilege to thwart himThe cigarette butt on the floor was a threat, a denial of him, as fully as Lanning's defection, or a Japanese attack on his lines, and he had to meet it directly and ruthlesslyThe longer you tarried with resistance the greater it becameIt had to be destroyed
    "You want to see me, sir?" It was Hearn entering his tent
    Cummings turned around slowly, and looked at him"Yes, sit down, I want to talk to you His voice had been cold and evenWith Hearn before him, his anger became incisive, controllable, an instrument of his actionsWith great deliberation he lit a cigarette, his hands steady now, and exhaled it leisurely"It's been a long time since we've had a little talk, Robert
    "Yes, sir, it has been
    Not since the night of the chess gameAnd they were both aware of itCummings surveyed Hearn with loathingHearn was an embodiment of the one mistake, the one indulgence he had ever permitted himself, and it had been intolerable to be with him since then"My wife is a bitch, Ro

    @@@@@ Ellen O'Hara had been a devout Catholic,
    @@@@@
    Ellen O'Hara had been a devout Catholic, and she had done her best to
    make religion part of the fabric of life at TaraThere were evening
    prayers, Litany and rosary, and constant gentle reminders to her
    daughters about their duties and obligations as ChristiansThe
    plantation's isolation was a sorrow to Ellen because she missed the
    consolations of the ChurchIn her quiet way, she tried to provide
    them to her family
    By the time they were twelve years old, Scarlett and her sisters had
    the imperatives of the catechism firmly implanted by their mother's
    patient teachingú Now Scarlett squirmed with guilt because she had
    neglected all religious observance for so many yearsHer mother
    must
    be weeping ú in heavenOh, why did her mother's sisters have to live
    in Charleston? Nobody in Atlanta had ever expected her to go to
    MassButler wouldn't have fussed at her, or at worst, she might have
    expected her to go to the Episcopal church with herThat wouldn't be
    so badScarlett had some vague notion that God didn't pay attention
    to anything that happened in a Protestant churchBut He would know
    the minute she stepped over the threshold of Saint Mary's that she
    was
    a fearful sinner who hadn't been to Confession since since-she
    couldn't even remember the last timeShe wouldn't be able to take
    Communion, and everyone would know that was whyShe imagined
    the
    invisible guardian angels Ellen had told her about when she was a
    childAll of them were frowning; Scarlett pulled the covers up over
    her headShe didn't know that her concept of religion was as
    superstitious and ill-formed as any Stone Age man'sShe only knew
    that she was frightened and unhappy and angry that she was trapped
    in a
    dilemmaWhat was she going to do? She remembered her mother's
    serene
    candlelit face telling her family and her servants that God loved the
    stray lamb most of all, but it wasn't much comfortShe couldn't think
    of any way to get out of going to MassIt wasn't fair! Just when
    things had started to go so well, tooButler had told her that
    Sally Brewton gave very exciting whist parties and she was sure to be
    invitedScarlett did, of course, go to MassTo her surprise the
    ancient ritual and the responses were strangely comforting, like old
    friends in the new life she was beginningIt was easy to remember
    her
    mother when her lips were murmuring the Our Father, and the smooth
    beads of the rosary were so familiar to her fingers

    the caves, my mind had skipped right over this place in my speculationsThis was the hole, the
    prisonIn my head, it was the darkest, deepest well in the cavesThis was where they'd buried
    me
    Even Mel, sneakier than I was, had never dreamed that they'd held me vuitton purses captive just a few paces
    from the exit
    It wasn't even the only exitBut the other was small and tight, a crawl spaceI hadn't found
    that one because I'd walked into these caves standing uprightI hadn't been looking forthat kind
    of tunnelBesides, I'd never explored the edges of Doc's hospital; I'd avoided it from chanel top the
    beginning
    The voice, familiar even though it seemed part of another life, interrupted my thoughts
    “I wonder how you're still alive, eating like thisUgh!”
    Something plastic clattered against the rocks
    I could see the blue light as we rounded the last corner

    when they saw us approaching
    “Finally,” Brandt mutteredHis face was etched in hard lines of grief
    The Seeker halted in her pacing
    I was surprised to see the conditions she was kept in

    In the office in the middle of the afternoon: He's coming up today, Hearn, he would, we're all invitedEllison has suggested that our attendance is requested
    Get up near him when he's had five or sixHe says the most amazing thingsAnd talk to his wife, the new one, she's fantastic
    In a bar with a Harvard contemporary:
    Hearn, you have no idea what it's like working on SpaceThat man! He's hideous, he's a FascistThe writers he's got up there, the talent, all grubbing away, afraid to leave 'cause it's two hundred a week, and they don't know what they can do on their ownI tell you my stomach turns every time I see them grind out the particular brand of swill at which he's so trickyJabbing out a cigaretteWhat are you in this racket for?
    I'm playing it for the laughs
    Sure you're not trying to be a writer from the wrong end?
    No, I'm not writer, I don't have a deep enough itch
    Jesus, there's a million who haveI don't know anybody who's worth a goddam
    Who does?
    Get potted, get screwed, and get up in the morning, somehow

    And the women:
    Hearn, she says, in her deep husky voice, you're a shell, you're nothing but a goddam shellAfter you've had fifty thousand of us up here, you'll probably cut it off and hang it up to dryYou learned an acceptable wiggle somewhere along the line and you think that's all you need to get byYou've got a faeces complex, haven't you, you can't stand being touchedYou get me so goddam mad, a million miles away, aren't you, nothing ever hits youNothing's worth touching
    Oh, the girl says quietly in her childish breathless voice, you're really good, there's such goodness in you, but you're wrong, you see, because true compassion is evil, when I was in the hospital there were a few minutes when I loved a doctor, and then I didn't care about him any more, and when I was in the shock treatment I kept thinking contact was evil, and it's only freedom that's worth while, it's why you don't want me because you're free and good
    Her voice is reedy, well modulatedOh, well, darling, what could I do, it was perfectly preposterous, all those silly apprentices just loathing my guts, all of them perfectly convinced of course they could do the thing better than I could, and my God you should have seen some of the interpretations they had, they were just bound to make trouble, and they creamed everything, everything, between Eddie and me, I could have had the ingénue in Sing at Breakfast, I don't know why I hang around with you, I'm just wasting my tim

    a day goes by that somebody doesn't come up to me in the ú Market

    become ash"I was afraid I'd be wasting my breath," he said at

    ice-mountain, ScarlettYou're dead weight-unlettered, uncivilized,
    Catholic, and an exile from everything decent in AtlantaYou could
    blow up in my face any minute
    What will it take?" Scarlett seized on the only accusation she could
    defend"I'd be grateful if you'd tell me what's wrong with being a
    Catholic, Rhett Butler! We were God-fearing long before you
    Episcopalians were ever heard of Rhett's sudden laughter made no
    sense to her"P Henry Tudor," he said, which made no sense either
    But his next words struck to the bone with their accuracy
    "We won't waste time debating theology, ScarlettThe fact is-and you
    know it as well as I dothat, for no defensible reason, Roman Catholics
    are looked down on in Southern societyIn Charleston today you can
    attend Saint Phillip's or Saint Michael's or the Huguenot church or
    First Scots PresbyterianEven the other Episcopal and Presbyterian
    churches are slightly suspect, and any other Protestant denomination
    is
    considered rank individualistic displayRoman Catholicism is beyond
    the paleIt's not reasonable, and God knows it's not Christian, but

    @@@@@People say night
    falls, but down here it risesIt rises out of the
    Gulf, after sunset's doneSeeing that happen
    amazed me
    I was also amazed at my own unplanned eloquence
    My right arm was quiet throughoutMy right arm
    was just a stump inside a pinned-up sleeve
    "Could we have the lights all the way down?
    Including mine, please?"
    Alice was running the board herself, and wasted no
    timeThe spotlight in which I had been standing
    592
    dimmed to a whisperThe auditorium was swallowed
    in gloom
    I said, "What I discovered, crossing the bridge
    between my two lives, is that sometimes beauty
    grows in spite of all expectationsBut that's not
    a very original idea, is it? It's really just a
    platitudesort of like a Florida sunset
    Nevertheless, it happens to be the truth, and the
    truth deserves to be spokenif you can say it
    in a new wayI tried to put it in a picture
    Alice, could we have the first slide, please?"
    It shone out on the large screen to my right, nine
    feet wide and seven feet high: a trio of gigantic
    lush roses growing from a bed of dark pink shells
    They were dark because they were below the house,
    in the shadow of the houseThe audience drew in
    its breath, a sound like a brief but loud gust of
    windI heard that and knew it wasn't just Wireman
    and the folks at the Scoto who understood
    They gasped the way people do when they have been
    blindsided by something completely unexpected
    Then they began to applaudIt went on for almost
    a full minuteI stood there gripping the left
    side of the podium, listening, dazed

    @@@@@ "And what are the results?" I asked "Well,
    @@@@@
    "And what are the results?" I asked
    "Well, he got lucky early in his trading, but lost all he gained a few days laterThen, he really got interestedToday, I would say he is down $2,000, but his interest is upHe has read all the books I bought him and he's gone to the library to get moreHe reads the Wall Street Journal voraciously, watching for indicators, and he watches CNBC instead of MTVHe's got only $1,000 left, but his interest and learning are sky highHe knows that if he loses that money, he walks for two more yearsBut he does not seem to careHe even seems uninterested in getting a car because he's found a game that is more fun
    "What happens if he loses all the money?" I asked
    "We'll cross that bridge when we get to itI'd rather have him lose everything now rather than wait till he's our age to risk losing everythingAnd besides, that is the best $3,000 I've ever spent on his educationWhat he is learning will serve him for life, and he seems to have gained a new respect for the power of moneyI think he's stopped the burning of holes in his pockets
    As I said in the section "Pay Yourself First," if a person cannot master the power of self-discipline, it is best not to try to get richFor while the process of developing cash flow from an asset column in theory is easy, it is the mental fortitude of directing money that is hardDue to external temptations, it is much easier in today's consumer world to simply blow it out the expense columnBecause of weak mental fortitude, that money flows into the paths of least resistanceThat is the cause of poverty and financial struggle
    I gave this numerical example of financial intelligence, in this case the ability to direct money to make more money
    If we gave 100 people $10,000 at the start of the year, I gave my opinion that at the end of the year:
    80 would have nothing leftIn fact, many would have created I greater debt by making a down payment on a new car, refrigerator, TV, VCR or a holiday16 would have increased that $10,000 by 5 percent to 10 perc

    A few minutes later they staggered up on the beachDespite their exhaustion they walked on for a hundred yardsSomehow it was distasteful to stay too near to the river
    As if in mutual accord, they sprawled out on the sand and lay there motionless, their faces on their arms, the sun warming their backsIt was the middle of the afternoonThere was nothing to do but wait here for the platoon to return and the landing craft to fetch themTheir rifles had been lost, their packs, their rations, but they did not think about thisThey were too depleted, and later they could find food in the jungle
    They lay like this until evening, too weak to move, absorbing a faint pleasure from resting, feeling the sun upon themTheir resentment had turned toward each other and they felt the dull sour hatred of men who have shared a humiliating failure togetherThe hours passed and they drowsed, became conscious again, fell asleep once more, woke with the nausea that comes from slumbering in the sunlight
    Goldstein sat up at last, and fumbled for his canteenVery slowly, as though learning the motions for the first time, he unscrewed the cap and tilted it to his mouthHe had not realized how thirsty he wasThe first taste of the water in his mouth was ecstaticHe made himself swallow slowly, setting the canteen down after each gulpWhen it was half empty he noticed Ridges watching himSomehow it was obvious that Ridges had no water left
    Ridges could walk up to the stream, and fill his canteen but Goldstein knew what that meantThe thought of standing up, of walking even a hundred yards, was a torment he could not bear to faceAnd Ridges must feel the same way
    Goldstein was annoyedWhy hadn't Ridges been more thoughtful, saved his water? He felt stubborn and tilted the canteen to his mouth againBut the drink tasted suddenly brackishGoldstein was conscious of how warm it had bec

    past the concerned stranger"I'll go over

    catch her breath on the dockShe could see that the gangplank of
    The
    Golden Fleece was still in placeBut still, the master
    of the excursion boat should be horsewhippedShe'd been half out of
    her mind ever since four o'clock"Thank you for waiting for me," she
    said to the ship's officer at the head of the gangplank"Oh, there
    are more to come," he said, and Scarlett transferred her anger to the
    captain of the FleeceIf he said five o'clock, he should sail at five
    o'clock
    The sooner she got away from Charleston, the happier she would be
    This must be the hottest place on the face of the earthShe shaded
    her eyes with her hand to look at the skyShe started along deck towards her rooms

    @@@@@Not pitch-black, but very dark
    The air was even mustier than before–humid and corroded, with a peculiar acrid bite that
    seemed to cling to the back of my throatThe temperature was cooler than it had been in the
    desert, but the incongruous moisture made it almost as uncomfortableI was sweating again, the
    water Jeb had given me finding its way out through my pores
    I could hear my breathing echo back to me from a few feet awayIt could be that I was only
    close to one wall, but I guessed that I was in a very small spaceI listened as hard as I could, and
    it sounded like my breathing echoed back from the other side as well
    Knowing that I was probably still somewhere in the cavern system Jeb had brought me to, I
    was fairly sure what I would see when I opened my eyesI must be in some small hole in the
    rock, dark purple brown and riddled with holes like cheese
    It was silent except for the sounds my body madeAfraid to open my eyes, I relied on my ears,
    straining harder and harder against the silenceI couldn't hear anyone else, and this made no
    senseThey wouldn't have left me without a warden, would they? Uncle Jeb and his
    omnipresent rifle, or someone less sympatheticTo leave me alone… that wouldn't be in
    character with their brutality, their natural fear and hatred of what I was
    Unless…
    I tried to swallow, but terror closed my throatThey wouldn't leave me aloneNot unless they
    thought I was dead, or had made sure that Iwould beNot unless there were places in these
    caves that no one came back from
    The picture I'd been forming of my surroundings shifted dizzyingly in my headI saw myself
    now at the bottom of a deep shaft or walled into a cramped tombMy breathing sped up, tasting
    the air for staleness, for some sign that my oxygen was running lowThe muscles around my
    lungs pulled outward, filling with air for the scream that was on the wayI clenched my teeth to
    keep it from escaping
    Sharp and close, something grated across the ground beside my head
    I shrieked, and the sound of it was piercing in the small s

    of sludgy water, but didn't break
    Perse screamed inside it and I felt my nose begin
    to bleedAnd the light from the flash changedIn that scarlet glow, the skulls of
    Adie Paulson and Nan Melda gaped and grinned at me
    I looked at the moss-covered walls of this filthy

    throat into which I'd climbed of my own free will
    and saw other faces: Pam'sMary Ire's, twisted
    in rage as she brought the butt of her gun down on
    Ilse's headKamen's, filled with terminal
    surprise as he dropped with his thunderclap heart

    send it hurtling into concrete at seventy miles an
    hour
    Worst of all, I saw Monica Goldstein, screaming
    You killed my doggy!
    "Edgar, what's happening?" That was Jack, a
    thousand miles away
    I thought of Shark Puppy on The Bone, singing
    "Dig I thought of telling Tom, That man died in
    his pick-up

    she saidWe'll sail together into your real other

    your feetand you'll be the artist of the age

    over my mind even as my right hand began to slip
    out of existence againBut before it could go
    completelybefore I lost my grip on either my
    fury or the damned cracked keg

    the subject is never to be revived between usYou will have nothing
    to fear, or to be agitated aboutYou cannot suppose me capable of
    trying to persuade you to marry against your inclinationsYour happiness
    and advantage are all that I have in view, and nothing is required
    of you but to bear with MrCrawford’s endeavours to convince
    you that they may not be incompatible with hisHe proceeds
    at his own riskYou are on safe groundI have engaged for your
    seeing him whenever he calls, as you might have done had nothing
    of this sort occurredYou will see him with the rest of us, in the
    same manner, and, as much as you can, dismissing the recollection
    of everything unpleasantHe leaves Northamptonshire so soon, that
    even this slight sacrifice cannot be often demandedThe future must
    be very uncertainAnd now, my dear Fanny, this subject is closed
    between us
    The promised departure was all that Fanny could think of with
    much satisfactionHer uncle’s kind expressions, however, and forbearing
    manner, were sensibly felt; and when she considered how
    much of the truth was unknown to him, she believed she had no
    right to wonder at the line of conduct he pursuedHe, who had
    married a daughter to MrRushworth: romantic delicacy was certainly
    not to be expected from himShe must do her duty, and trust
    that time might make her duty easier than it now was
    She could not, though only eighteen, suppose MrCrawford’s attachment
    would hold out for ever; she could not but imagine that
    steady, unceasing discouragement from herself would put an end to

    young lady’s exact estimate of her own perfections
    In spite of his intended silence, Sir Thomas found himself once
    more obliged to mention the subject to his niece, to prepare her
    briefly for its being imparted to her aunts; a measure which he would
    still have avoided, if possible, but which became necessary from the
    totally opposite feelings of MrCrawford as to any secrecy of proceeding
