9:15 am	@@@@@ "I'd love to meet her, EleanorWhat do you @@@@@ "I'd love to meet her, EleanorWhat do you think of this flounder? I was planning on sheepshead, but they're not in yet, and I can't wait I don't know why the fishing boats can't be more punctual, and don't talk to me about no wind for the sailsMy bonnet nearly blew right off my head this morning "I really prefer flounder myself, Minnie, it takes to a sauce so much betterLet me present Rhett's wife, Scarlett Tell me, does this flounder look good to you?" It looked disgusting to her, but Scarlett murmured, "I've always been partial to flounder myself She hoped that all Miss Eleanor's friends wouldn't ask her opinionShe didn't even know what flounder was, for pity sakes, much less if it was any good or not In the next hour, Scarlett was introduced to more than twenty ladies, and a dozen varieties of fishShe was receiving a thorough education in seafoodButler bought crabs, going to five different sellers until she had accumulated eight"I suppose I seem awfully picky to you," she said when she was satisfied, "but the soup's just not the same if it's made with he-crabsThe roe gives it a special flavor, you seeIt's a lot harder to find she-crab this time of year, but it's worth the effort, I think Scarlett didn't care a bit what gender the crabs wereShe was appalled that they were still alive, scuttling around in the tubs, reaching out their claws, making nervous rustling noises as they climbed on top of one another trying to reach up the sides to get out And now she could hear them in Celie's basket, pushing at the paper sack that held themThe shrimp were worse, even though they were deadTheir ice were horrible black balls on stalks, and they had long trailing whiskers and feelers and spiky stomachsShe couldn't believe that she'd ever eaten anything that looked like that, much less enjoyed itThe oysters didn't bother her; they just looked like dirty rocksButler picked up a curved knife from a table and opened one, Scarlett felt her stomach heaveIt looks like a hawk of spit floating in old dishwater, she thoughtAfter the seafood the meats had a reassuring familiarity even though the swarms of flies around the blood-soaked newspapers under them made her queas (Comment on this)

9:15 am	@@@@@ The orders over the @@@@@ The orders over the loudspeaker metallically echoed throughout the street“You have one minute before we take aggressive procedures Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 267 What aggressive procedures? screamed Bourne into the silent void of his mindInsanity! Who? Why? The door at the top of the brick steps on the left side of the building opened firstA petrified man, short, obese, in an undershirt, his trousers held up by suspenders, cautiously walked out into the flood of the searchlight, spreading his hands in front of his face and turning his head away from the blinding beam“What is it, messieurs?” he cried, his voice tremulous“I am merely a baker—a good baker—but I know nothing about this street except that the rent is cheap! Is that a crime to the police?” “Our concerns are not with you, monsieur,” continued the amplified voice “Not with me, you say? You arrive here like an army, frightening my wife and children into thinking it is their last minutes on earth, and yet you say we don’t concern you? What kind of reasoning is that? We live among fascists?” Hurry up! thought JasonFor God’s sake, hurry! Every second is a minute in escape time, an hour for the Jackal! The door above the flight of brick steps on the right now opened, and a nun in the full flowing black robe of a religious habit appearedShe stood defiantly in the frame, no fear whatsoever in her almost operatic voice“How dare you?” she roared“These are the hours of vespers and you intrudeBetter you should be asking forgiveness for your sins than interrupting those who plead with God for theirs!” “Nicely said, Sister,” intoned the unimpressed police officer over the loudspeaker“But we have other information and we respectfully insist on searching your houseIf you refuse, we shall disrespectfully carry out our orders “We are the Magdalen Sisters of Charity!” exclaimed the nun“These are the sacrosanct quarters of women devoted to Christ!” “We respect your position, Sister, but we are still coming insideIf what you say is so, I’m sure the authorities will make a generous contribution to your cause You’re wasting time! screamed Bourne to himselfHe’s getting away! “Then may your souls be damned for transgression, but come ahead and invade this holy ground!” “Really, Sister?” asked another official over the loudspeaker“I don’t believe there’s anything in the canons that gives you the right to condemn souls to hell on such a flimsy excuseGo ahead, Monsieur InspectorUnder the habit, you may find lingerie more suited to the Faubourg He knew that voice! It was Bernardine! What had happened? Was Bernardine no friend after all? Was it all an act, the smooth talk of a traitor? If so, there would be another death that night! The black-uniformed squad of antiterrorists, their automatic weapons bolted into firing mode, raced to the base of the brick steps as the gendarmes blocked off the boulevard Lefebvre, north and south, while the red and blue lights of the patrol cars incessantly blinked their bright warnings to all beyond the area: Stay away “May I go inside?” screamed the bak (Comment on this)

But she wasn't protesting my instruction, just the conclusion of my thought Jared was the one who carried the Seeker into the roomHe came first, the others behind Aaron and Brandt both had the guns ready–in case she was only feigning unconsciousness, perhaps, and about to jump up and attack them with her tiny handsJeb and Doc came last, and I knew Jeb's canny eyes would be on my faceHow much had he figured out already with his crazy, insightful shrewdness? I kept myself focused on the task at hand Jared laid the Seeker's inert form on the cot with exceptional gentlenessThis might have bothered me before, but now it touched meI understood that he did this for me, wishing that he could have treated me this way in the beginning “Doc, where's the No Pain?” “I'll get it for you,” he murmured I stared at the Seeker's face while I waited, wondering what it would look like when her host was freeWould anything be left? Would the host be empty or would the rightful owner reassert herself? Would the face be less repugnant to me when another awareness looked out of those eyes? “Here you go Doc put the canister in my hand I pulled out one thin tissue square and handed the container back to him I found myself reluctant to touch the Seeker, but I made my hands move swiftly and purposefully as I pulled her chin down and put the No Pain on her tongueHer face was very small–it made my hands feel bigHer tiny size always threw me off (Comment on this)

Tall black iron poles held a pair of enormous lanterns brightly lit with a half dozen gas jetsThey illuminated the deep portico and towering white columns of a temple-like building set back from the street behind a tall iron fenceA gleaming white canvas walkway led from the scoured white marble carriage block to the portico's stepsOver walkway and block a white canvas awning had been erected"Just think," she said, marvelling, "you could go from your carriage to the Ball in the pouring rain and not a drop of water would touch you"That's the idea," Rhett agreed, "but it's never been testedIt never rains on the night of the Saint Cecilia "Rhett!"

9:15 am	@@@@@He felt bitter that a man should have to @@@@@He felt bitter that a man should have to stand guard in an open hole with only a machine gun before him There was a frantic scuffling behind the first wall of jungle and Roth ground his jaws together to keep from uttering a soundThe noises were coming closer like men creeping up, moving a few feet and then halting, before approaching another few feetHe fumbled around the tripod of the machine gun to find a grenade, and then held it in his hand wondering where to throw itThe grenade seemed extremely heavy, and he felt so weak that he doubted if he could hurl it more than ten yardsIn training he had been told the effective range of a grenade was thirty-five yards, and he was afraid now that he would be killed by his own grenadeHe replaced it beneath the machine gun, and just sat there His fear had to ebb after a timeFor perhaps half an hour he had been waiting for the noises to develop into something, and when nothing occurred, his confidence began to come backHe did not reason that if there were Japs they might spend two hours in advancing fifty yards toward him; because he could not bear the suspense, a part of him assumed that they could not either, and he became convinced there was nothing in the jungle but some animals scurrying aboutHe lay back in the hole with his shirt against the damp rear wall, and began to relaxHis nerves calmed slowly, rousing to a pitch of fear again every time some sudden noise came out of the jungle, but still becoming more and more composed like a receding tideAfter an hour had passed he grew sleepyHe thought of nothing, listened only to the profound pendant silence of the woodA mosquito began to sing about his ears and his neck, and he waited for it to bite him so that he could crush itIt made him think that there might be insects in the hole with him, and his body began to crawl, and for a few moments he was certain an ant was traveling down his backIt recalled to him the roaches that had infested the first apartment he had had when he was marriedHe remembered how he had reassured his wife, "There's nothing to worry about, ZeldaI can tell you from my studies that the roach is not too vicious a pest Zelda had got some idea that there must be bedbugs also, and no matter how many times he reassured her, "Zelda, roaches eat bedbugs," she would start up in bed, and grasp him with fear, "Herman, I know there's something biting me "But I tell you that's impossible "Don't tell me about your roaches," she would whisper angrily in the darkened bedroom"If roaches take care of bedbugs they have to get into the bed to do it, don't they?" Roth felt a mingled pleasure and wistfulness in rememberingTheir life together had not been all that he had hopedThere were so many fights, and Zelda had a cruel tongue; he recalled how she had taunted him with his education and the fact that he could make no mon (Comment on this)
