@@@@@That Pam's hands had laundered
these @@@@@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 livingThat's what Wireman says, and he's often right 200 vi 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 play-tables and onto the floor | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 8:40 pm |

@@@@@ His rage was just beginning to function; a @@@@@ 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 | | Thursday, December 30th, 2010 | | 8:34 pm |
@@@@@
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 | | Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 | | 8:32 pm |

@@@@@When she went out on tour she hand-picked @@@@@When she went out on tour she hand-picked her leading man, purely by the genital heft, so to speak, and when he started fooling around with poor little Judy, damn if Beroma didn't give a party to which she invited everyone but little Judy and the corpus delicti 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?

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 | | Friday, December 24th, 2010 | | 8:34 pm |

You can set your mind at rest if that's what's worrying youWhy, everybody in Charleston just loves meI'm rushed off my feet with invitations to this and that, and not a day goes by that somebody doesn't come up to me in the ú Market and ask my advice about her shopping Rhett drew on his cigarThen he watched the bright end of it cool and become ash"I was afraid I'd be wasting my breath," he said at lastI'll admit you've lasted longer and been more restrained than I expected oh, yes, I hear some news from town when I'm on the plantation-but you're like a powder keg lashed to my back on that 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 it is a factShe knew he was rightRhett used her momentary defeat to repeat his original question"What do you want, Scarlett?

@@@@@People say night
falls, but down here it @@@@@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 593 The rest of the presentation took about twentyfive minutes, but I remember very little of itI was like a man conducting a slide-show in a dr | | Sunday, December 19th, 2010 | | 8:44 pm |
@@@@@
"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 | | Saturday, December 18th, 2010 | | 8:39 pm |
@@@@@
A few minutes later they staggered up on @@@@@ 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?

@@@@@Not pitch-black, but very dark
The air was @@@@@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 | | Friday, December 10th, 2010 | | 8:49 pm |
@@@@@It cracked again, releasing a little @@@@@It cracked again, releasing a little flood 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 1070 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 attackTom, twisting the wheel of his car to 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?"
