    @@@@@With no waste
    motion, Sukie dipped and swirled the mugs in a big pail of brownish
    water, set them on the table at her elbow, wiped her hands on her
    apron, took the bill and deposited it in a cracked leather pouch
    hanging from her belt, withdrawing a dollar bill without looking
    "Here you is, Miz Butler, hope you enjoyed it
    Two dollars for a cup of coffee!
    Why, with two dollars you could buy the best pair of boots on King
    Street"I always enjoy it, Sukie, even though I have to do without
    food on the table to pay for itDon't you ever feel ashamed of
    yourself for being such a robber?" Sukie's white teeth flashed against
    her brown skin"No ma'am, I surely don't!" she said, rumbling with
    amusement"I can swear on the Good Book that ain't nothing
    disturbing
    my sleep The other coffee drinkers laughed
    Each of them had had a similar exchange with Sukie many times
    Eleanor Butler looked around until she located Celie and her basket
    "Come along, dear," she said to Scarlett, "we have a long list today
    We'll have to get to it before everything's gone scarlet followed
    MrsButler to the end of the Market hall where the rows of tables
    were crowded with dented galvanized washtubs filled with seafood that
    emitted a strong acrid odorScarlett's nose wrinkled at the reek, and
    she looked at the tubs with disdain
    She thought she knew fish well enoughUgly, whiskered, bone-filled
    catfish were plentiful in the river that ran alongside TaraThey'd
    had to eat them when there was nothing elseWhy anyone would
    actually
    buy one of the nasty little things was beyond her, but there were lots
    of ladies with one glove off poking into the tubs
    Oh, bother! Miss Eleanor was going to introduce her to every single
    one of themScarlett readied her smileA tiny white-haired lady
    raised a big silvery beast of a fish from the tub in front of her
    "I'd love to meet her, EleanorWhat do you think of this flounder?

    @@@@@He was relieved to see that the two guards in the street
    continuously winced and blinked under the beam of the searchlightHis status was as clean as it
    could be under the tenuous circumstancesEverything now was timing, precision, and all the
    expertise he could summon from times too often unremembered or too vague or too long agoHe
    had to remember now; instinct had to propel him through his personal mistsThe end of the
    nightmare was at hand
    It was happening! Suddenly there was furious activity at the door as a third figure came rushing
    out, joining the other twoThe man was shorter than his male colleague, wearing a beret and
    carrying a briefcaseHe obviously issued orders that included the rear guard, who ran up to the
    pavement as the new arrival hurled his briefcase down over the brick stepsThe guard instantly
    clutched his weapon under his left arm and effortlessly caught the leather missile in midairNous partons! Vite!” shouted the second man, gesturing for the other two on the
    brick steps to precede him down to the vanThey did so, the man in the raincoat joining the guard
    at’ the rear doors, the woman accompanying the one who gave the ordersThe Jackal? Was it
    Carlos? Was it?
    Bourne desperately wanted to believe that it was—therefore, it was! The sound of the vehicle’s
    curbside door slamming shut was followed rapidly by the gunning of the vehicle’s powerful engine;
    both were a signalThe three other guards raced from their posts to the rear doors of the vanOne
    by one they climbed up inside after the man in the black raincoat, their legs stretched, arms bracing
    shoulders, curved hands gripping the two metal frames that with instant muscular strain propelled
    them inside as their weapons were thrown in front of themThen a pair of hands reached out for the
    interior door handles—
    Now! Bourne pulled the pin of the grenade and lurched to his feet, running as he had never run
    in his life toward the swinging rear doors of the vanHe dived, twisting his body in flight, landing
    on his back as he gripped the left panel and threw the grenade inside, the bomb’s release in his

    doors shutA fusillade of gunfire eruptedBut it was an unintended miracle—as the Jackal’s van
    was bulletproof, it was also impervious to bullets shot from within! There were no penetrations of
    the steel, only thuds and the screaming whistles of ricochets and the screams of the wounded
    inside
    The glistening vehicle shot forward on the boulevard Lefebvre as Bourne sprang to a crouch and
    raced toward the deserted storefronts on the east side of the streetHe was nearly across the wide
    avenue when the impossible happenedThe impossible!
    The Jackal’s van blew up, the explosion firing the dark Paris sky, and the moment it happened a
    brown limousine screeched around the nearest corner, the windows open, men in the black spaces,
    weapons in their grips, spraying the entire area with thunderous, indiscriminate fireJason lunged
    into the nearest recess, curling up into a fetal position in the shadows, accepting the fact—not in
    fear but in fury—that it might well be his last moments of lif

    Scarlett tossed her head"I'm going back insideI'd a far sight
    rather be suffocated than insulted Unseen in the shadow of a nearby
    column, Rosemary cringed at the cruelty she heard in Rhett's voice
    and
    the angry hurt in Scarlett'sLater that night, after bedtime, she
    tapped on the door of the library where Rhett was reading, then
    entered
    and closed the door behind herHer face was blotched red from
    weeping"I thought I knew you, Rhett," she blurted, "but I don't at
    allI heard you talking to Scarlett tonight on the porch of the
    Hall
    How could you be so mean to your own wife? Who are you going to
    turn
    on next?"Rhett rose quickly from his chair and started towards his
    sister
    with his arms outstretchedBut Rosemary held her hands up in front
    of
    her, palms outward, and backed awayHis face darkened with pain,
    and
    he stood very still, his arms at hissidesHe wanted-above all
    things-to shield Rosemary from hurt, and now he was the source of
    her
    anguishHis mind was filled with Rosemary's short sad story and his
    part in itRhett had never regretted or explained anything he had
    done
    in his tempestuous younger yearsThere was nothing he was
    ashamed
    of
    Except the effects on his young sisterBecause of his rebellious
    defiance of family and society, his father had disowned himRhett's
    name was only an inked-over line in the Butler family Bible when
    Rosemary's birth was recordedShe was more than twenty years
    hisjuniorHe did not even see her until she was thirteen, an awkward
    girl with long legs, large feet, and budding breasts
    Their mother had disobeyed her husband for one of the few times in
    her
    life when Rhett began the dangerous life of blockade runner through
    the
    Union fleet and into Charleston HarborShe came by night to the dock
    where his ship was moored, bringing Rosemary to meet himThe
    deep vein
    of loving tenderness in Rhett was inexpressively moved by the
    confusion
    and need that he sensed in his young sister, and he welcomed her to
    his shirt with all the warmth that their father had never been able to
    giveIn turn, Rosemary gave him the trust and loyalty that their
    father had never in spiredThe bond between brother and sister had
    never been severed, despite the fact that they saw each other no more
    than a dozen times from first meeting until Rhett came home to

    After Dalleson had gone, Cummings slumped in his chair and sat without moving, thinking for a long time
    There was still that thing with HearnThe particular set of desires that had culminated in his order to pick up the cigarette had not been appeased, not reallyAnd before him still was the question of getting some Navy support
    Abruptly, Cummings was depressed again

    That night Hearn was on duty for a few hours in the G-3 tentThe side flaps were unrolled, the double entrance was raised, and the corners were covered over to make a blackout tentAnd as always, it was painfully humid insideHearn and the clerk on duty with him sat drowsing in their chairs, their shirts opened, their eyes turned away from the glare of the Coleman lanterns, the perspiration coursing down their facesIt was a convenient time to think, for with the exception of the hourly telephone reports from the front there was no work to do, and the bare tables, the empty desks, and the draped map-boards surrounded them, induced the proper mood of somnolence and absorptionSporadically, like a muted burst of thunder, they could hear the harassing fire of the artillery sounding in the night

    NovgorodTo say it was incredible was to obliquely recognize the existence of credibility and that
    was nearly impossibleIt was the ultimate fantasy, its optical illusions seemingly more real than
    reality, the phantasmagoria there to be touched, felt, used, entered into and departed from; it was a
    collective masterpiece of invention cut out of the immense forests along the Volkhov RiverFrom
    the moment Bourne emerged from the deep underground tunnel below the water with its guards,
    gates and myriad cameras, he was as close to being in a state of shock while still being able to keep
    walking, observing, absorbing, thinking
    The American compound, presumably like those of the different countries, was broken up into
    sections, built on areas anywhere from two to five acres, each distinctly separate from the others
    One area, erected on the banks of the river, might be the heart of a Maine waterfront village;
    another, farther inland, a small Southern town; yet another, a busy metropolitan city streetEach
    was completely “authentic” with the appropriate vehicular traffic, police, dress codes, shops,
    grocery and drug stores, gas stations and mock structures of buildings—many of which rose two
    stories high and were so real they had American hardware on the doors and windowsObviously, as
    vital as the physical appearances was language—not merely the fluent use of English but the
    mastery of linguistic idiosyncrasies, the dialects that were characteristic of specific locationsAs
    Jason wandered from one section to another he heard all around him the distinctive soundsFrom
    New England Down East with its “eeahh” to Texas’s drawl and its familiar “you-alls”; from the
    gentle nasality of the Midwest to the loud abrasiveness of the large Eastern cities with the
    inevitable “know what I mean?” tacked on to conversational sentences, whether questions or
    statementsIt was all incredibleIt was not simply beyond belief, it made the true suspension of
    disbelief frighteningly viable
    He had been briefed on the flight from Vnokova by a late-middle-aged Novgorod graduate who

    not only garrulously instructive, but in his own way mesmerizingIf anyone had ever told Jason
    Bourne that he was going to be briefed in depth by a Soviet espionage agent whose English was so
    laced with the Deep South that it sonorously floated out of his mouth with the essence of

    everybody’s comfort, my dear MrsNorris,” was his answer“But
    indeed I would rather have nothing but tea

    suppose you hurry Baddeley a little; he seems behindhand to-night
    She carried this point, and Sir Thomas’s narrative proceeded
    At length there was a pauseHis immediate communications were
    exhausted, and it seemed enough to be looking joyfully around him,
    now at one, now at another of the beloved circle; but the pause was
    not long: in the elation of her spirits Lady Bertram became talkative,
    and what were the sensations of her children upon hearing
    her say, “How do you think the young people have been amusing
    themselves lately, Sir Thomas? They have been actingWe have been
    all alive with acting
    “Indeed! and what have you been acting?”
    “Oh! they’ll tell you all about it
    “The all will soon be told,” cried Tom hastily, and with affected
    unconcern; “but it is not worth while to bore my father with it now
    You will hear enough of it to-morrow, sirWe have just been trying,
    by way of doing something, and amusing my mother, just within
    the last week, to get up a few scenes, a mere trifleWe have had such
    incessant rains almost since October began, that we have been nearly
    confined to the house for days togetherI have hardly taken out a
    gun since the 3rdTolerable sport the first three days, but there has
    been no attempting anything sinceThe first day I went over
    Mansfield Wood, and Edmund took the copses beyond Easton, and
    we brought home six brace between us, and might each have killed
    six times as many, but we respect your pheasants, sir, I assure you, as
    much as you could desireI do not think you will find your woods
    by any means worse stocked than they wereI never saw Mansfield
    Wood so full of pheasants in my life as this yearI hope you will take
    a day’s sport there yourself, sir, soon
    For the present the danger was over, and Fanny’s sick feelings subsided;
    but when tea was soon afterwards brought in, and Sir Thomas,
    getting up, said that he found that he could not be any longer
    in the house without just looking into his own dear room, every
    agitation was returningHe was gone before anything had been said
    to prepare him for the change he must find there; and a pause of
    alarm followed his disappearanceEdmund was the first to speak—
