    @@@@@Norris, “I knew what was comingI knew what
    @@@@@Norris, “I knew what
    was comingI knew what you were going to sayIf dear Julia were at
    home, or dearest MrsRushworth at Sotherton, to afford a reason,
    an occasion for such a thing, you would be tempted to give the
    young people a dance at MansfieldIf they were
    at home to grace the ball, a ball you would have this very Christmas
    Thank your uncle, William, thank your uncle!”
    “My daughters,” replied Sir Thomas, gravely interposing, “have their
    pleasures at Brighton, and I hope are very happy; but the dance which
    I think of giving at Mansfield will be for their cousinsCould we be
    all assembled, our satisfaction would undoubtedly be more complete,
    but the absence of some is not to debar the others of amusementNorris had not another word to sayShe saw decision in his
    219
    Jane Austen
    looks, and her surprise and vexation required some minutes’ silence
    to be settled into composureA ball at such a time! His daughters
    absent and herself not consulted! There was comfort, however, soon
    at handShe must be the doer of everything: Lady Bertram would
    of course be spared all thought and exertion, and it would all fall
    upon herShe should have to do the honours of the evening; and
    this reflection quickly restored so much of her good-humour as enabled
    her to join in with the others, before their happiness and thanks
    were all expressed
    Edmund, William, and Fanny did, in their different ways, look
    and speak as much grateful pleasure in the promised ball as Sir Thomas
    could desireEdmund’s feelings were for the other twoHis
    father had never conferred a favour or shewn a kindness more to his
    satisfaction
    Lady Bertram was perfectly quiescent and contented, and had no
    objections to makeSir Thomas engaged for its giving her very little
    trouble; and she assured him “that she was not at all afraid of the
    trouble; indeed, she could not imagine there would be anyNorris was ready with her suggestions as to the rooms he
    would think fittest to be used, but found it all prearranged; and
    when she would have conjectured and hinted about the day, it appeared
    that the day was settled tooSir Thomas had been amusing
    himself with shaping a very complete outline of the business; and as
    soon as she would listen quietly, could read his list of the families to
    be invited, from whom he calculated, with all necessary allowance
    for the shortness of the notice, to collect young people enough to
    form twelve or fourteen couple: and could detail the considerations
    which had induced him to fix on the 22nd as the most eligible day
    William was required to be at Portsmouth on the 24th; the 22nd
    would therefore be the last day of his visit; but where the days were
    so few it would be unwise to fix on any earlierNorris was
    obliged to be satisfied with thinking just the same, and with having
    been on the point of proposing the 22nd herself, as by far the best
    day for the purpose
    The ball was now a settled thing, and before the evening a proclaimed
    thing to all whom it concernedInvitations were sent with
    despatch, and many a young lady went to bed that night with her

    Mansfield Park
    head full of happy cares as well as FannyTo her the cares were
    sometimes almost beyond the happiness; for young and inexperienced,
    with small means of choice and no confidence in her own
    taste, the “how she should be dressed” was a point of painful solicitude;
    and the almost solitary ornament in her possession, a very
    pretty amber cross which William had brought her from Sicily, was
    the greatest distress of all, for she had nothing but a bit of ribbon to
    fasten it to; and though she had worn it in that manner once, would
    it be allowable at such a time in the midst of all the rich ornaments
    which she supposed all the other young ladies would appear in?
    And yet not to wear it! William had wanted to buy her a gold chain
    too, but the purchase had been beyond his means, and therefore
    not to wear the cross might be mortifying himThese were anxious
    considerations; enough to sober her spirits even under the prospect
    of a ball given principally for her gratificat

    “Because I have to figure out another admiral before I move any further into Medusa territory
    Atkinson, our impeccable WASP ambassador to the Court of StJames’s in London, was very
    clearIn his panic, he pulled the masks off Burton and Teagarten in Brussels
    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
    56
    “So?”
    “He said Teagarten could handle the Agency if anything about the old Saigon surfaced—
    because he was very tight with the top max at Langley
    “And?”
    “ ‘Top max’ is the Washington euphemism for maximum-classified security, and where Langley
    is concerned that’s the director of Central IntelligenceThat’s also Peter Holland
    “You told me this morning he’d have no problem wasting any member of Medusa
    “Anyone can say anythingBut would he?”
    Across the Atlantic, in the old Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, an old man in a dark
    threadbare suit trudged up the concrete path toward the entrance of the sixteenth-century cathedral
    known as the Church of the Blessed SacramentThe bells in the tower above tolled the first
    Angelus and the man stopped in the morning sunlight, blessing himself and whispering to the sky
    “Angelus domini nuntiavit Mariae With his right hand he blew a kiss to the bas-relief crucifix
    atop the stone archway and proceeded up the steps and through the huge doors of the cathedral,
    aware that two robed priests eyed him with distasteI apologize for defiling your rich parish, you
    tight-assed snobs, he thought as he lit a candle and placed it in the prayer rack, but Christ made it
    clear that he preferred me to you‘The meek shall inherit the earth’—what you haven’t stolen of it
    The old man moved cautiously down the center aisle, his right hand gripping the backs of
    successive pews for balance, his left fingering the rim of his outsized collar and slipping down to
    his tie so as to make sure the knot had not somehow come apartHis woman was so weak now that
    she could barely fold the damn thing together, but, as in the old days, she insisted on putting the
    finishing touches on his appearance before he went to workShe was still a good woman; they had
    both laughed, remembering the time she swore at his cuff links over forty years ago because she
    had put too much starch in his shirtThat night, so long ago, she had wanted him to look the proper
    bureaucrat when he went to the whore-mongering Oberführer’s headquarters on the rue StLazare
    carrying a briefcase—a briefcase that, left behind, had blown up half the blockAnd twenty years
    later, one winter afternoon she’d had trouble making his stolen expensive overcoat hang properly
    on his shoulders before he set off to rob the Grande Banque Louis IX on the Madeleine, run by an
    educated but unappreciative former member of the Résistance who refused him a loanThose were
    the good times, followed by bad times and bad health, which led to worse times—in truth, destitute
    timesUntil a man came along, a strange man with an odd calling and an even odder unwritten
    contractAfter that, respect returned in the form of sufficient money for decent food and acceptable
    wine, for clothes that fit, making his woman look pretty again, and, most important, for the doctors
    who made his woman feel betterThe suit and shirt he wore today had been dug out of a clo

    “We boiled soup today,” Jamie announced“My eyes are still stinging
    Doc held up a pair of bright red hands
    Doc gave a mocking bow from the waist, then turned to me“Wanda, I had a question for
    you” He let the words trail off
    I raised my eyebrows
    “Well, I was wondering Of all the different planets you're familiar with, which species is
    physically the closest to humankind?”
    I blinked“Why?”
    “Just good old-fashioned biological curiosityI guess I've been thinking about your Healers
    Where do they get the knowledge to cure, rather than just treat symptoms, as you said?” Doc
    was speaking louder than necessary, his mild voice carrying farther than usualSeveral people
    looked up–Trudy and Geoffrey, Lily, Walter…
    I wrapped my arms tightly around myself, trying to take up less space“Those are two different
    questions,” I murmured
    Doc smiled and gestured with one hand for me to proceed
    Jamie squeezed my hand“The Bears on the Mists Planet, probably
    “With the claw beasts?” Jamie whispered
    “How are they similar?” Doc prodded
    I rolled my eyes, feeling Jeb's direction in this, but continued“They're close to mammals in
    many waysTheir blood isn't exactly the same as yours, but it does
    essentially the same jobThey have similar emotions, the same need for societal interaction and
    creative outlets –”
    “Creative?” Doc leaned forward, fascinated–or feigning fascination“How so?”

    “We are so totally unlike,” said Fanny, avoiding a direct answer,
    “we are so very, very different in all our inclinations and ways, that
    I consider it as quite impossible we should ever be tolerably happy
    together, even if I could like himThere never were two people more
    dissimilarWe have not one taste in commonWe should be miserable
    “You are mistaken, FannyThe dissimilarity is not so strongYou
    are quite enough alikeYou have tastes in commonYou have moral
    and literary tastes in commonYou have both warm hearts and benevolent
    feelings; and, Fanny, who that heard him read, and saw
    you listen to Shakespeare the other night, will think you unfitted as
    companions? You forget yourself: there is a decided difference in
    your tempers, I allowHe is lively, you are serious; but so much the
    better: his spirits will support yoursIt is your disposition to be
    easily dejected and to fancy difficulties greater than they areHis
    cheerfulness will counteract thisHe sees difficulties nowhere: and
    his pleasantness and gaiety will be a constant support to youYour
    being so far unlike, Fanny, does not in the smallest degree make
    against the probability of your happiness together: do not imagine
    itI am myself convinced that it is rather a favourable circumstance
    I am perfectly persuaded that the tempers had better be unlike: I
    mean unlike in the flow of the spirits, in the manners, in the inclination
    for much or little company, in the propensity to talk or to be
    silent, to be grave or to be gaySome opposition here is, I am thoroughly
    convinced, friendly to matrimonial happinessI exclude extremes,
    of course; and a very close resemblance in all those points
    would be the likeliest way to produce an extremeA counteraction,
    gentle and continual, is the best safeguard of manners and conduct

    cheerfully from the hour of his coming homeHis avoiding her was
    quite at an endHe had dined at the Parsonage only the preceding

    @@@@@During the day there was constant activity
    @@@@@During the day there was constant activity with men working on improvements in the bivouac area, and trucks constantly moving in and out of the motor poolsOn the other side of the road the maintenance shops were in operation in service company, and in the somnolent afternoons in the jungle he could hear their machine tools grindingHis own bivouac had been enlarged several times and by now the barbed wire around the perimeter enclosed an ellipse of earth almost two hundred yards long and more than half as wide, and in the area were over a hundred pup tents, a dozen pyramidal and squad tents, a row of twenty fly tents in which his officers were housed, three latrines, two field kitchens, over forty trucks and jeeps, and almost three hundred men
    Recon was a very small part of all thisWith the five new replacements, the platoon had a total strength of fourteen men, and their arc of the bivouac consisted of seven pup tents extended in ten-yard intervals along a section of the perimeterAt night two men in the platoon would be awake at any hour, sitting in the two machine-gun emplacements that faced past the barbed wire toward the jungle; in the daytime the perimeter would be virtually deserted, with only one man left behind as the rest of the platoon went out to work on the roadFive weeks had gone by since invasion day, and with the exception of a few routine security patrols around the new bivouac, the platoon had seen no activityIt was approaching the rainy season, and it grew hotter each day, more trying to work on the roadBy the time they had been in the new bivouac for a week, many of the men, including some of the veterans of the Motome campaign, were wishing for combat again

    After evening chow Red had washed up, and moved over to Wilson and Gallagher's tentAll day it had been extremely hot and sultry, even more unbearable than the days and nights before it, and Red was feeling irritableThe day, like every other day, had been spent working on the road
    Gallagher and Wilson were sprawled in their tent, smoking quietly without talking"Whateya say, Red?" Wilson drawled at last
    Red wiped his forehead"That kid Wyman! It used to be bad enough bunkin' with a Boy Scout like Toglio, but that kid Wyman"They're gonna be sendin' 'em overseas soon with a sugar tit
    "Yeah, the platoon seems all topside-bottom since we got the replacements," Wilson complainedHe sighed, and ran the sleeve of his fatigue shirt over his chin, which was moist with perspiration"Weather's fixin' to act up," he said quietly
    "More fuggin rain," Gallagher snorted
    Dark slated clouds were washing the eastern sky and mounting thunderheads in the north and southThe air was leaden and moist, hanging limp without a murmurEven the coconut trees seemed swollen and expectant, their leaves drooping languidly over and raw chopped earth of the bivouac
    "That corduroy we put in is gonna be washed out," Gallagher said

    @@@@@Be assured
    he cares for nobody but youAt this very moment he is wild
    to see you, and occupied only in contriving the means for doing so,
    and for making his pleasure conduce to yoursIn proof, he repeats,
    and more eagerly, what he said at Portsmouth about our conveying
    you home, and I join him in it with all my soulDear Fanny, write
    directly, and tell us to comeIt will do us all goodHe and I can go
    to the Parsonage, you know, and be no trouble to our friends at
    Mansfield ParkIt would really be gratifying to see them all again,
    and a little addition of society might be of infinite use to them; and
    as to yourself, you must feel yourself to be so wanted there, that you
    cannot in conscience—conscientious as you are—keep away, when
    you have the means of returningI have not time or patience to give
    half Henry’s messages; be satisfied that the spirit of each and every
    one is unalterable affection
    Fanny’s disgust at the greater part of this letter, with her extreme
    382
    Mansfield Park
    reluctance to bring the writer of it and her cousin Edmund together,
    would have made her (as she felt) incapable of judging impartially
    whether the concluding offer might be accepted or notTo herself,
    individually, it was most temptingTo be finding herself, perhaps
    within three days, transported to Mansfield, was an image of the
    greatest felicity, but it would have been a material drawback to be
    owing such felicity to persons in whose feelings and conduct, at the
    present moment, she saw so much to condemn: the sister’s feelings,
    the brother’s conduct, her cold-hearted ambition, his thoughtless
    vanityTo have him still the acquaintance, the flirt perhaps, of Mrs
    Rushworth! She was mortifiedShe had thought better of him
    Happily, however, she was not left to weigh and decide between
    opposite inclinations and doubtful notions of right; there was no
    occasion to determine whether she ought to keep Edmund and Mary
    asunder or notShe had a rule to apply to, which settled everything
    Her awe of her uncle, and her dread of taking a liberty with him,
    made it instantly plain to her what she had to doShe must absolutely
    decline the proposalIf he wanted, he would send for her;
    and even to offer an early return was a presumption which hardly
    anything would have seemed to justifyShe thanked Miss Crawford,
    but gave a decided negative“Her uncle, she understood, meant to
    fetch her; and as her cousin’s illness had continued so many weeks
    without her being thought at all necessary, she must suppose her
    return would be unwelcome at present, and that she should be felt
    an encumbrance
    Her representation of her cousin’s state at this time was exactly
    according to her own belief of it, and such as she supposed would
    convey to the sanguine mind of her correspondent the hope of everything
    she was wishing forEdmund would be forgiven for being
    a clergyman, it seemed, under certain conditions of wealth; and
    this, she suspected, was all the conquest of prejudice which he was
    so ready to congratulate himself uponShe had only learnt to think
    nothing of consequence but money

    AS FANNY could not doubt that her answer was conveying a real disappointment,

    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
    197
    On a side street in Anderlecht, three miles south of Brussels, a military sedan bearing the flags
    of a four-star general officer pulled up to the curb in front of a sidewalk caféGeneral James
    Teagarten, commander of NATO, his tunic cheap chanel purses emblazoned with five rows of ribbons, stepped gingerly
    out of the car into the bright early afternoon sunlightHe turned and offered his hand to a stunning
    WAC major, who smiled her thanks as she climbed out after himGallantly, with military
    authority, Teagarten released the woman’s hand and took her elbow; he escorted her across the
    wide pavement toward a cluster of umbrella-topped tables behind a row of flowering planter boxes
    that was the alfresco section of the caféThey reached the entrance, a latticework archway
    profusely covered with baby roses, and walked insideAll the tables were occupied save one at the
    far end of bags dolce and gabbana the enclosed pavement; the hum of luncheon conversation was punctuated by the tinkling
    of wine bottles gently touching wineglasses and the delicate clatter of utensils lowered on china
    platesThe decibel level of the conversation was suddenly reduced, and the general, aware that his
    presence inevitably brought stares, amiable waves and not infrequently mild applause, smiled
    benignly at no one in particular and yet at everyone as he guided his lady to the deserted table
    where a small folded card read Réservé
    The owner, with two waiters trailing behind him like anxious egrets, practically flew between
    the tables to greet his tiffany 925 distinguished guestWhen the commander was seated, a chilled bottle of
    Corton-Charlemagne was presented and the menu discussedA young Belgian child, a boy of five
    or six, walked shyly up to the table and brought his hand to his forehead; he smiled and saluted the
    generalTeagarten rose to his feet, standing erect, and saluted the child back
    “Vous êtes un soldat distingué, mon camarade,” said the general, his commanding voice ringing
    through the sidewalk café, his bright smile winning the crowd, who responded with appreciative
    applauseThe child retreated and the meal continued
    A leisurely hour later, Teagarten and his lady cartier santos 100 were interrupted by the general’s chauffeur, a
    middle-aged army sergeant whose expression conveyed his anxietyThe commander of NATO had
    received an urgent message over his vehicle’s secure phone, and the chauffeur had had the presence
    of mind to write it down and repeat it for accuracyHe handed Teagarten the note
    The general stood up, his tanned face turning pale as he glanced around the now-half-empty
    sidewalk café, his eyes narrowed, angry, afraidHe reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded
    wad of Belgian franc notes, peeled off several large ones and dropped them on the table“Come
    on,” he said to the woman cheap gucci majo

    @@@@@
    From about the time of her entering the family, Lady Bertram, in
    consequence of a little ill-health, and a great deal of indolence, gave
    up the house in town, which she had been used to occupy every
    spring, and remained wholly in the country, leaving Sir Thomas to
    attend his duty in Parliament, with whatever increase or diminution
    of comfort might arise from her absenceIn the country, therefore,
    the Miss Bertrams continued to exercise their memories, practise
    their duets, and grow tall and womanly: and their father saw
    them becoming in person, manner, and accomplishments, everything
    that could satisfy his anxietyHis eldest son was careless and
    extravagant, and had already given him much uneasiness; but his
    other children promised him nothing but goodHis daughters, he
    felt, while they retained the name of Bertram, must be giving it new
    grace, and in quitting it, he trusted, would extend its respectable
    alliances; and the character of Edmund, his strong good sense and
    uprightness of mind, bid most fairly for utility, honour, and happiness
    to himself and all his connexionsHe was to be a clergyman
    Amid the cares and the complacency which his own children suggested,
    Sir Thomas did not forget to do what he could for the children
    of MrsPrice: he assisted her liberally in the education and disposal
    of her sons as they became old enough for a determinate pursuit;
    and Fanny, though almost totally separated from her family, was
    19
    Jane Austen
    sensible of the truest satisfaction in hearing of any kindness towards
    them, or of anything at all promising in their situation or conduct
    Once, and once only, in the course of many years, had she the happiness
    of being with WilliamOf the rest she saw nothing: nobody
    seemed to think of her ever going amongst them again, even for a
    visit, nobody at home seemed to want her; but William determining,
    soon after her removal, to be a sailor, was invited to spend a week with
    his sister in Northamptonshire before he went to seaTheir eager
    affection in meeting, their exquisite delight in being together, their
    hours of happy mirth, and moments of serious conference, may be
    imagined; as well as the sanguine views and spirits of the boy even to
    the last, and the misery of the girl when he left herLuckily the visit
    happened in the Christmas holidays, when she could directly look for
    comfort to her cousin Edmund; and he told her such charming things
    of what William was to do, and be hereafter, in consequence of his
    profession, as made her gradually admit that the separation might
    have some useEdmund’s friendship never failed her: his leaving Eton
    for Oxford made no change in his kind dispositions, and only afforded
    more frequent opportunities of proving themWithout any
    display of doing more than the rest, or any fear of doing too much, he
    was always true to her interests, and considerate of her feelings, trying
    to make her good qualities understood, and to conquer the diffidence
    which prevented their being more apparent; giving her advice, consolation,
    and encouragement
    Kept back as she was by everybody else, his single support could
    not bring her forward; but his attentions were otherwise of the highest
    importance in assisting the improvement of her mind, and extending
    its pleasuresHe knew her to be clever, to have a quick apprehension
    as well as good sense, and a fondness for reading, which,
    properly directed, must be an education in itselfMiss Lee taught
    her French, and heard her read the daily portion of history; but he
    recommended the books which charmed her leisure hours, he encouraged
    her taste, and corrected her judgment: he made reading
    useful by talking to her of what she read, and heightened its attraction
    by judicious praiseIn return for such services she loved him
    better than anybody in the world except William: her heart was
    divided between the two

    Mansfield Park
    CHAPTER III
    THE FIRST EVENT of any importance in the family was the death of
    MrNorris, which happened when Fanny was about fifteen, and
    necessarily introduced alterations and noveltiesNorris, on
    quitting the Parsonage, removed first to the Park, and afterwards to
    a small house of Sir Thomas’s in the village, and consoled herself for
    the loss of her husband by considering that she could do very well
    without him; and for her reduction of income by the evident necessity
    of stricter economy
    The living was hereafter for Edmund; and, had his uncle died a
    few years sooner, it would have been duly given to some friend to
    hold till he were old enough for ordersBut Tom’s extravagance had,
    previous to that event, been so great as to render a different disposal
    of the next presentation necessary, and the younger brother must
    help to pay for the pleasures of the elderThere was another family
    living actually held for Edmund; but though this circumstance had
    made the arrangement somewhat easier to Sir Thomas’s conscience,
    he could not but feel it to be an act of injustice, and he earnestly
    tried to impress his eldest son with the same conviction, in the hope
    of its producing a better effect than anything he had yet been able
    to say or do
    “I blush for you, Tom,” said he, in his most dignified manner; “I
    blush for the expedient which I am driven on, and I trust I may pity
    your feelings as a brother on the occasionYou have robbed Edmund
