    @@@@@It's just that
    it gets dark so early and the nights are so long and I can't sleep like
    I oughtThings will get better when the rain stops when winter's
    over when Rhett comes home
    At last the weather turned to bright, cold, sunny days with high wisps
    of cloud in brilliant blue skiesColleton pumped the standing water
    out of the hole he'd dug, and the sharp wind dried the red Georgia clay
    to the hardness of brickHe ordered concrete then, and lumber to
    make
    the forms for casting the footings
    Scarlett plunged into a celebration of shopping for giftsIt was
    nearly ChristmasShe bought dolls for Ella and each of Suellen's
    girlsBaby dolls for the younger ones with soft sawdust-stuffed
    bodies and chubby porcelain faces and hands and feetSusie and Ella
    had nearly identical lady dolls with cunning leather trunks full of
    beautiful clothesWade was a problem; Scarlett never knew what to
    do
    about himThen she remembered Tony Fontaine's promise to teach
    him
    how to twirl his six-shooters, and she bought Wade his own pair, with
    his initials carved in their ivory-inlaid handles
    Suellen was easy-a beaded silk reticule that was too fancy to use in
    the country, with a twenty dollar gold piece inside it good anywhereScarlett searched high and low before she gave
    up
    and bought him another sheepskin jacket like the one she'd given him
    the year before, and the year before thatIt's the thought that
    counts, she told herself firmlyShe debated for a long time before
    she decided not to get a present for BeauShe wouldn't put it past
    India to send it back unopenedBesides, Beau wasn't lacking for
    anything, she thought bitterlyThe Wilkes account at her store was
    mounting up every weekShe bought a gold cigar-cutter for Rhett,
    but
    she lacked the nerve to send it
    Instead, she made her gifts to her two aunts in much nicer than
    usual
    They might tell Rhett's mother how thoughtful she was, and Mrs
    Butler
    might tell Rhett

    Light showered down on us like white rain as we
    walked the main hall (Wireman walked; I limped),
    and I realized that, for all of the mansion's
    grandeur, this part of it was no more than a
    glorified dogtrot - the kind that separates
    sections of older and much humbler Florida
    dwellingsThat style, almost always constructed
    of wood (sometimes scrapwood) rather than stone,
    even has a name: Florida Cracker
    This dogtrot, filled with light courtesy of its
    long glass ceiling, was lined with plantersAt
    its far end, Wireman hung a rightI gucci ladies watch followed him
    into an enormous cool parlorA row of windows
    gave on a side courtyard filled with flowers - my
    daughters could have named half of them, Pam all
    of them, but I could only name the asters,
    dayflowers, elderberry, and foxgloveOh, and the
    rhododendronThere was plenty of thatBeyond the
    tangle, on a blue-tiled walk that presumably
    connected with the main courtyard, stalked a
    sharp-eyed heronIt looked both thoughtful and
    grim, but I never saw a one on the ground that
    didn't look like a Puritan elder considering which
    witch to burn chanel top next
    259
    In the center of the room was the woman Ilse and I
    had seen on the day we tried exploring Duma Key
    RoadThen she'd been in a wheelchair, her feet
    clad in blue Hi-TopsToday she was standing with
    her hands planted on the grips of a walker, and
    her feet - large and very pale - were bareShe
    was dressed in a high-waisted pair of beige slacks
    and a dark brown silk blouse with amusingly wide
    shoulders and full sleevesIt was an outfit that
    made me think of Katharine Hepburn in those old
    movies they sometimes show on Turner Classic
    Movies: Adam's chanel purses Rib, or Woman of the YearOnly I
    couldn't remember Katharine Hepburn looking this
    old, even when she was old
    The room was dominated by a long, low table of the
    sort my father had had in the cellar for his
    electric trains, only this one was covered in some
    light wood - it looked like bamboo - rather than
    fake grassIt was crowded with model buildings
    and china figurines: men, women, children,
    barnyard animals, zoo animals, creatures of
    mythical renownSpeaking of mythical creatures, I
    saw a couple of fellows in blackface that wouldn't

    Elizabeth Eastlake looked at Wireman with an
    expression of sweet delight I would have enjoyed
    drawingalthough I'm not sure anyone would have
    taken it seriouslyI'm not sure we ever believe
    the simplest emotions in our art, although we see
    them all around us, every day"I woke up early and I've
    been having such a wonderful time with my chinas!"
    She had a deep southern-girl accent that turned
    chinas into CHA-nahs"Look, the family's at
    home!"
    At one end of the table was a model mansionThe

    One morning they almost quarreledHearn entered the tent as Clellan was finishing his work, and he examined it while Clellan stood at the General's cot, his hands by his sidesHearn prodded the bed, which was made very neatly, the extra blanket folded squarely at the foot, the pillow centered at the head with its ends tucked in"Good job on that bed, Clellan," Hearn said
    "You think so, Lieutenant?" Clellan didn't move
    Hearn turned away and inspected the flaps of the fly-tentThey were tied neatly and evenly, and when he yanked at one of the tie cords the knot did not slipHe strode about the outside of the tent, examining the stakesThey were all in line, all slanted at the same angle -- since there had been a heavy rain the night before, Hearn knew that Clellan had already straightened themHe walked back inside the tent, and looked at the board floor, which had been swept and washedClellan looked sullenly at Hearn's feet"You're tracking it up, Lieutenant," he said
    Hearn stared at the muddy marks his shoes had left"I'm sorry, Clellan," he said
    "It's a lot of work, Lieutenant
    Hearn's temper flared"Clellan, you don't work so hard
    "Cain't say as any of us do," Clellan drawled
    Well, what the hell! All right, he had deserved that answerHearn turned away again, examined the map boardThe cover was draped smoothly over it, and the red and blue pencils at its base had been sharpened and separated into their compartmentsHe walked about, opening the General's foot locker to see that his clothing was stacked tidily, sat down before the General's desk to open the drawers and inspect the insidesSearching for dust, he trailed his fingers under the ledgeHearn grunted with distaste and stood up to inspect the rain ditch that ran around the tent

    little red circle on the upper right corner of the

    frameThat was a good thing - it was nice to know
    the crowd here was composed of more than just
    lookers drawn by the novelty of a one-armed dauber

    normal to feel that wayI had no way of telling

    Mansfield Park
    to be quite free from it, and gave themselves no airs; while the praises
    attending such behaviour, secured and brought round by their aunt,
    served to strengthen them in believing they had no faults
    Lady Bertram did not go into public with her daughtersShe was
    too indolent even to accept a mother’s gratification in witnessing
    their success and enjoyment at the expense of any personal trouble,
    and the charge was made over to her sister, who desired nothing
    better than a post of such honourable representation, and very thoroughly
    relished the means it afforded her of mixing in society without
    having horses to hire
    Fanny had no share in the festivities of the season; but she enjoyed
    being avowedly useful as her aunt’s companion when they
    called away the rest of the family; and, as Miss Lee had left Mansfield,
    she naturally became everything to Lady Bertram during the night
    of a ball or a partyShe talked to her, listened to her, read to her; and
    the tranquillity of such evenings, her perfect security in such a tetea-
    tete from any sound of unkindness, was unspeakably welcome to
    a mind which had seldom known a pause in its alarms or embarrassments
    As to her cousins’ gaieties, she loved to hear an account
    of them, especially of the balls, and whom Edmund had danced
    with; but thought too lowly of her own situation to imagine she
    should ever be admitted to the same, and listened, therefore, without
    an idea of any nearer concern in themUpon the whole, it was
    a comfortable winter to her; for though it brought no William to
    England, the never-failing hope of his arrival was worth much
    The ensuing spring deprived her of her valued friend, the old grey
    pony; and for some time she was in danger of feeling the loss in her
    health as well as in her affections; for in spite of the acknowledged
    importance of her riding on horse-back, no measures were taken for
    mounting her again, “because,” as it was observed by her aunts,
    “she might ride one of her cousin’s horses at any time when they did
    not want them,” and as the Miss Bertrams regularly wanted their
    horses every fine day, and had no idea of carrying their obliging
    manners to the sacrifice of any real pleasure, that time, of course,
    never cameThey took their cheerful rides in the fine mornings of
    April and May; and Fanny either sat at home the whole day with
    one aunt, or walked beyond her strength at the instigation of the
    31
    Jane Austen
    other: Lady Bertram holding exercise to be as unnecessary for everybody
    as it was unpleasant to herself; and MrsNorris, who was
    walking all day, thinking everybody ought to walk as muchEdmund
    was absent at this time, or the evil would have been earlier remedied
    When he returned, to understand how Fanny was situated,
    and perceived its ill effects, there seemed with him but one thing to
    be done; and that “Fanny must have a horse” was the resolute declaration
    with which he opposed whatever could be urged by the
    supineness of his mother, or the economy of his aunt, to make it
    appear unimportantNorris could not help thinking that some
    steady old thing might be found among the numbers belonging to
    the Park that would do vastly well; or that one might be borrowed
    of the steward; or that perhaps DrGrant might now and then lend
    them the pony he sent to the postShe could not but consider it as
    absolutely unnecessary, and even improper, that Fanny should have
    a regular lady’s horse of her own, in the style of her cousinsShe was
    sure Sir Thomas had never intended it: and she must say that, to be
    making such a purchase in his absence, and adding to the great
    expenses of his stable, at a time when a large part of his income was
    unsettled, seemed to her very unjustifiable“Fanny must have a
    horse,” was Edmund’s only replyNorris could not see it in the
    same lightLady Bertram did: she entirely agreed with her son as to
    the necessity of it, and as to its being considered necessary by his
    father; she only pleaded against there being any hurry; she only
    wanted him to wait till Sir Thomas’s return, and then Sir Thomas
    might settle it all himselfHe would be at home in September, and
    where would be the harm of only waiting till September?
    Though Edmund was much more displeased with his aunt than
    with his mother, as evincing least regard for her niece, he could not
    help paying more attention to what she said; and at length determined
    on a method of proceeding which would obviate the risk of
    his father’s thinking he had done too much, and at the same time
    procure for Fanny the immediate means of exercise, which he could
    not bear she should be withoutHe had three horses of his own, but
    not one that would carry a womanTwo of them were hunters; the
    third, a useful road-horse: this third he resolved to exchange for one
    that his cousin might ride; he knew where such a one was to be met

    with; and having once made up his mind, the whole business was
    soon completedThe new mare proved a treasure; with a very little
    trouble she became exactly calculated for the purpose, and Fanny
    was then put in almost full possession of herShe had not supposed
    before that anything could ever suit her like the old grey pony; but
    her delight in Edmund’s mare was far beyond any former pleasure
    of the sort; and the addition it was ever receiving in the consideration
    of that kindness from which her pleasure sprung, was beyond
    all her words to expressShe regarded her cousin as an example of
    everything good and great, as possessing worth which no one but
    herself could ever appreciate, and as entitled to such gratitude from
    her as no feelings could be strong enough to pay

    Their will recovered enough for them to continue, but they moved at a frantically slow pace, refusing to step forward for seconds at a time before some minor obstacle, clinging to the wall ferociously wherever the ledge became narrow againAfter half an hour Croft finally brought them out, and the ledge widened and crossed the ridgeBeyond was nothing but another deep valley, another men omega watch precipitous slopeHe led them down to the bottom, and started up the next ascent, but they did not follow himOne by one they sprawled down on the ground, looked at him with blank staring eyes
    It was almost dark, and he knew he could not drive them any more; they were too exhausted, too frightened, and another accident might occurHe called a halt, giving approval to what was already a fact, and sat down in their midst
    On the next morning there would be the slope, a few gullies to traverse, and then the main ridge of the Chloe Purse mountain to be crossedThey could do it in two or three hours ifif he could stir them againAt that moment he doubted himself seriously

    The platoon slept poorlyIt was very difficult to find level ground, and of course they were overtired, their limbs too tenseMost of them dreamed and muttered in their sleepTo cap it all, Croft gave them each an hour of guard, and some of them awoke too early and waited nervously for many minutes before going on, found it difficult afterward to fall asleepCroft had been aware of this, knew chanel logo earrings they needed the extra rest and knew it was virtually impossible there would be any Japanese on the mountain, but he had felt it more important not to break routineRoth's death had temporarily shattered his command, and it was vital to start repairing it

    The thought had her so filled with yearning and excitement that the blank wall in my head
    slipped entirely
    I saw the whole journey now, saw her and Jared's and Jamie's careful trek across the country,
    always by night in their inconspicuous stolen vehicleI saw where she'd left them
    in a wooded preserve outside the city, so different from the empty desert they were used toThe
    cold forest where Jared and Jamie would hide and wait had felt safer in some ways–because the
    branches were thick and concealing, unlike the spindly desert foliage that hid little–but also
    more dangerous in its unfamiliar smells and sounds
    Then the separation, a memory so painful we skipped through it, flinchingNext came the
    abandoned building she'd hidden in, watching the house across the street for her chanceThere,
    concealed within the walls or in the secret basement, she hoped to find Sharon

    @@@@@It was pleasing to hear him speak so
    @@@@@It was pleasing to hear him speak so properly;
    here he had been acting as he ought to doTo be the friend of the
    poor and the oppressed! Nothing could be more grateful to her; and
    she was on the point of giving him an approving look, when it was all
    frightened off by his adding a something too pointed of his hoping
    soon to have an assistant, a friend, a guide in every plan of utility or
    charity for Everingham: a somebody that would make Everingham
    and all about it a dearer object than it had ever been yet
    She turned away, and wished he would not say such thingsShe
    was willing to allow he might have more good qualities than she
    had been wont to supposeShe began to feel the possibility of his
    turning out well at last; but he was and must ever be completely
    unsuited to her, and ought not to think of her
    He perceived that enough had been said of Everingham, and that
    it would be as well to talk of something else, and turned to Mansfield
    He could not have chosen better; that was a topic to bring back her
    attention and her looks almost instantlyIt was a real indulgence to
    her to hear or to speak of MansfieldNow so long divided from
    everybody who knew the place, she felt it quite the voice of a friend
    when he mentioned it, and led the way to her fond exclamations in
    praise of its beauties and comforts, and by his honourable tribute to
    its inhabitants allowed her to gratify her own heart in the warmest
    eulogium, in speaking of her uncle as all that was clever and good,
    and her aunt as having the sweetest of all sweet tempers
    He had a great attachment to Mansfield himself; he said so; he
    looked forward with the hope of spending much, very much, of his
    time there; always there, or in the neighbourhoodHe particularly
    built upon a very happy summer and autumn there this year; he felt
    that it would be so: he depended upon it; a summer and autumn
    infinitely superior to the lastAs animated, as diversified, as social,
    but with circumstances of superiority undescribable
    “Mansfield, Sotherton, Thornton Lacey,” he continued; “what a
    society will be comprised in those houses! And at Michaelmas, perhaps,
    a fourth may be added: some small hunting-box in the vicin355
    Jane Austen
    ity of everything so dear; for as to any partnership in Thornton
    Lacey, as Edmund Bertram once good-humouredly proposed, I hope
    I foresee two objections: two fair, excellent, irresistible objections to
    that plan
    Fanny was doubly silenced here; though when the moment was
    passed, could regret that she had not forced herself into the acknowledged
    comprehension of one half of his meaning, and encouraged
    him to say something more of his sister and EdmundIt was a subject
    which she must learn to speak of, and the weakness that shrunk
    from it would soon be quite unpardonablePrice and his friend had seen all that they wished, or
    had time for, the others were ready to return; and in the course of
    their walk back, MrCrawford contrived a minute’s privacy for telling
    Fanny that his only business in Portsmouth was to see her; that
    he was come down for a couple of days on her account, and hers
    only, and because he could not endure a longer total separationShe
    was sorry, really sorry; and yet in spite of this and the two or three
    other things which she wished he had not said, she thought him
    altogether improved since she had seen him; he was much more
    gentle, obliging, and attentive to other people’s feelings than he had
    ever been at Mansfield; she had never seen him so agreeable—so
    near being agreeable; his behaviour to her father could not offend,
    and there was something particularly kind and proper in the notice
    he took of SusanHe was decidedly improvedShe wished the next
    day over, she wished he had come only for one day; but it was not so
    very bad as she would have expected: the pleasure of talking of
    Mansfield was so very great!
    Before they parted, she had to thank him for another pleasure,
    and one of no trivial kindHer father asked him to do them the
    honour of taking his mutton with them, and Fanny had time for
    only one thrill of horror, before he declared himself prevented by a
    prior engagementHe was engaged to dinner already both for that
    day and the next; he had met with some acquaintance at the Crown
    who would not be denied; he should have the honour, however, of
    waiting on them again on the morrow, etc and so they parted—
    Fanny in a state of actual felicity from escaping so horrible an evil!
    To have had him join their family dinner-party, and see all their
    356
    Mansfield Park
    deficiencies, would have been dreadful! Rebecca’s cookery and
    Rebecca’s waiting, and Betsey’s eating at table without restraint, and
    pulling everything about as she chose, were what Fanny herself was
    not yet enough inured to for her often to make a tolerable mealShe
    was nice only from natural delicacy, but he had been brought up in
    a school of luxury and epicurism
