“I need to talk to her for a minute, Kyle,” @@@@@ “I need to talk to her for a minute, Kyle,” I murmured He nodded, his face troubled, and pulled the clinging girl from his side “No, no,” she begged “It's okay,” I promised“He's not going anywhereI just want to ask you a few questions Kyle turned her to face me, and her arms locked around meI pulled her to the far corner of the room, as far from the nameless woman as I could getI didn't want our conversation to confuse or frighten the Healer's host any more than she already wasKyle followed, never more than a few inches awayWe sat on the floor, facing the wall “Jeez,” Kyle murmured“I didn't think it would be like this “How did you find her? And catch her?” I askedThe sobbing girl didn't react as I questioned him; she just kept crying on my shoulder“What happened? Why is she like this?” “Well, I thought she might be in Las VegasI went there first, before I went on to Portland See, Jodi was really close to her mother, and that's where Doris livedI thought, seeing how you were about Jared and the kid, that maybe she would go there, even when she wasn't JodiThey were all there at the same old house, Doris's house: Doris, and her husband, Warren–they had other names, but I didn't hear them clearly–and SunnyI watched them all day, until it was nighttimeSunny was in Jodi's old room, aloneI snuck in after they'd all been asleep for hoursI yanked Sunny up, threw her over my shoulder, and jumped out the windowI thought she was going to start screaming, so I was really booking it back to the j | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 9:42 pm |

Yet Stanley had been very tense all the @@@@@ Yet Stanley had been very tense all the while he had been talking to CroftIn his first weeks in the platoon he had acted similarly toward Brown, but now that tension was switched to CroftStanley never said anything to him without some purposeIt was an automatic process, howeverHe never thought consciously, It's a good idea to agree with CroftAt the moment he believed what he was saying; his mind worked more quickly, more effectively than his speech, so that sometimes Stanley was almost surprised at his own words"Yeah, Wilson's an odd guy," he muttered Yet for a moment Stanley was depressedPerhaps he had started to buddy with Croft too lateWhat good was it to him now that the Lieutenant had come into the platoon? One of the reasons he resented Hearn was that he had hoped Croft would be commissioned, and there might have been a chance for him to fill the vacancyHe could not visualize either Martinez or Brown as platoon sergeantActually, this ambition was vague precisely because he did not want to halt thereStanley had no single goal; his dreams were always vague Indeed, as they talked, Croft and Stanley were sensing a similarity between themselves, and it drew them togetherCroft felt a mild affection for himThis Stanley kid ain't too bad, he told himself The deck under their feet shuddered as the boat slapped against a few wavesThe sun was almost down, and the sky overhead was clouding overIt was the least bit chill, and they drew closer to light cigarettes Gallagher had worked his way up to the bowHe stood quiet beside them, his thin knotted body shivering a littleThey listened to the water sloshing about the bottom of the boat"One minute you're hot, and then you're cold," Gallagher muttered Stanley smiled at himHe felt it necessary to be tactful with Gallagher since his wife had died and it irked | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 9:43 pm |

Sally's monkey face crumpled in sympathy"Nobody we know," she said gentlyHe was only nineteen when he left Charleston, and at that age boys go to a bordello or to a willing poor white girlSince he returned he's demonstrated great delicacy in refusing all offers without hurting any feelings"Charleston isn't a sink of iniquity, dearPeople don't feel any social pressure to be constantly rutting I'm sure that Rhett is faithful to you"I'll see myself out As soon as Sally was gone Scarlett ran upstairs to her bedroom and locked herself inShe threw herself across the bed and wept uncontrollably Grotesque visions assaulted her mind of Rhett with one woman still another, and another and another of the ladies she saw at parties every dayWhat a fool she'd been to believe that he would be jealous of herWhen she could no longer bear her thoughts, she rang for Pansy, then washed and powdered her faceShe couldn't sit and smile and talk with Miss Eleanor when she woke upShe had to get away, at least for a while"We're going out," she told Pansy * * Scarlett walked for miles-quickly and silently, uncaring whether Pansy was keeping upAs she passed Charleston's tall, beautiful old houses, she didn't see their crumbling pastel stucco walls as proud evidence of survival, she saw only that they cared not how they looked to passers-by and turned their shoulders to the street to face inward toward their private walled gardensThey keep their secrets, she thoughtExcept from each otherEveryone pretends about everythingwas nearly dark when Scarlett got back, and the house looked silent and forbiddin | | Friday, December 31st, 2010 | | 9:44 pm |

@@@@@Connected as we already are, and, I hope, @@@@@Connected as we already are, and, I hope, are to be, to give up Mary Crawford would be to give up the society of some of those most dear to me; to banish myself from the very houses and friends whom, under any other distress, I should turn to for consolationThe loss of Mary I must consider as comprehending the loss of Crawford and of FannyWere it a decided thing, an actual refusal, I hope I should know how to bear it, and how to endeavour to weaken her hold on my heart, and in the course of a few years—but I am writing nonsenseWere I refused, I must bear it; and till I am, I can never cease to try for her The only question is how? What may be the likeliest means? I have sometimes thought of going to London again after Easter, and sometimes resolved on doing nothing till she returns to MansfieldEven now, she speaks with pleasure of being in Mansfield in June; but June is at a great distance, and I believe I shall write to herI have nearly determined on explaining myself by letterTo be at an early certainty is a material objectMy present state is miserably irksome Considering everything, I think a letter will be decidedly the best method of explanationI shall be able to write much that I could not say, and shall be giving her time for reflection before she resolves on her answer, and I am less afraid of the result of reflection than of an immediate hasty impulse; I think I amMy greatest danger would lie in her consulting MrsFraser, and I at a distance unable to help my own causeA letter exposes to all the evil of consultation, and where the mind is anything short of perfect decision, an adviser may, in an unlucky moment, lead it to do what it may afterwards regretI must think this matter over a littleThis long letter, full of my own concerns alone, will be enough to tire even the friendship of a FannyThe last time I saw Crawford was at MrsI am more and more satisfied with all that I see and hear of himThere is not a shadow of waveringHe thoroughly knows his own mind, and acts up to his resolutions: an inestimable qualityI could not see him and my eldest sister in the same room without recollecting what you once told me, and I acknowledge that they did not meet as friendsThere was marked coolness on her side 371 Jane Austen They scarcely spokeI saw him draw back surprised, and I was sorry that MrsRushworth should resent any former supposed slight to Miss Bertra | | Friday, December 10th, 2010 | | 9:54 pm |

Gandalf @@@@@Just like this afternoonYou know? Gandalf was no dream, I thought back, and the voice of the stranger in my house - closer than 57 ever - repeated "Newly wed, nearly dead" over and overWhoever it was, the person was in the living roomI didn't want to go in there No, Gandalf was no dream, I thoughtMaybe it was my phantom right hand having these thoughtsThe dream was killing him Had he died on his own, then? Was that what the voice was trying to tell me? Because I didn't think Gandalf had died on his ownI thought he had needed help I went into my old living roomI wasn't conscious of moving my feet; I went in the way you move in dreams, as if it's really the world moving around you, streaming backward like some extravagant trick of projectionAnd there, sitting in Pam's old Boston rocker, was Reba the Anger-Management Doll, now grown to the size of an actual child Her feet, clad in black Mary Janes, swung back and forth just above the floor at the end of horrible boneless pink legsHer shallow eyes stared at me Her lifeless strawberry curls bounced back and forthHer mouth was smeared with blood, and in my dream I knew it wasn't human blood or dog's blood but the stuff that had oozed out of my mostly raw 58 hamburger - the stuff I had licked off the paper plate when the meat was gone The bad frog chased us! Reba criedIt has TEEF! xii That word - TEEF! - was still ringing in my head when I sat up with a cold puddle of October moonlight in my lapI was trying to scream and producing only a series of silent gaspsMy heart was thunderingI reached for the bedside lamp and mercifully avoided knocking it on the floor, although once it was on, I saw that I'd pushed the base halfway out over the dropThe clock-radio claimed it was 3:19 AM I swung my legs out of bed and reached for the phoneIf you really need me, call me, Kamen had saidAny time, day or n | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 10:06 pm |
