    the one with ears, and she still slept soundly
    It was a routine matter to finish the jobHe cleaned and healed the wound, applied the salve
    that sealed the incision closed behind the soul, and then brushed the scar-softening powder
    across the line left on her neck
    “Perfect, as usual,” said the assistant, who, for some reason unfathomable to Fords, had never
    made a change from his human host's name, Darren“I regret this day's work

    another of my numb steps backward, knowing in my
    heart it would do no good, that compensation
    wasn't enough, that when it got tired of playing
    it would simply dart forward and clamp that iron
    manacle on my wrist and drag me, screaming, down
    to the water, down to the caldo largo, and the
    last sound I'd hear on the living side would be
    the grating conversation of the shells under the

    in my ear
    "I don't know," I said, and I was sobbingLook out at the

    - Wireman who'd come in through the open door just
    as it had itself, Wireman who had arrived like the
    cavalry in a John Wayne Western - and had stopped
    three steps inside the living room, its head
    slightly lowered, the manacle swinging back and
    forth from its outstretched arm
    "Christ," Wireman said"That ship! The one in the
    paintings!"
    "Go on," the thing said"We have no business with
    youGo on, and you may live
    "It's lying," I said
    "Tell me something I don't know," Wireman said,
    then raised his voiceHe was standing just behind
    me, and he almost blew out my eardrum"Leave!
    You're trespassing!"
    The drowned young man made no reply, but it was
    every bit as fast as I had fearedAt one moment
    it was standing three steps inside the living room
    At the next it was right in front of me, and I had
    only the vaguest, flickering impression of it

    seaweed and dead fish turning to soup in the sun -

    @@@@@Her feelings
    about Rhett's money were equally inconsistentAs his wife she spent
    profligately on the Peachtree Street house, with its prodigious
    expenses, and on her wardrobe and luxuriesBut the half million he
    had given her was differentShe intended to give it back
    to him intact when they were once again truly man and wifeHe had
    offered it as payment for separation, and she could not accept it
    because she would not accept separationIt bothered her that she'd
    had to take some of it out of the bank vaults to bring on the trip
    Everything had happened so fast, there'd been no time to get any of
    her
    own money from Atlanta in the box with the
    remaining gold in Savannah, and she was determined to spend as little
    as possible of the gold coins that were now keeping her back straight
    and her waist small, filling the channels in her corset where steel
    strips had once beenIt was much better to win at whist and have her
    own money to spendWhy, in another week, with any luck, she'd add
    at
    least another $ I 50 to her purseBut still, she'd be glad when the
    voyage was overEven with all the sails bellied taut with wind, the
    Brian Boru was too big for her to feel the thrill she remembered from
    racing ahead of the storm in Charleston HarborAnd she hadn't seen
    even one dolphin, despite Colum's poetic promises"There they are,
    Scarlett darling!"
    Colum's usually calm, melodious voice rose in excitement; he took
    Scarlett's arm and drew her to the ship's rail"Our escorts are
    here

    to the sleek silvery forms on the nearby seaThere were dolphins

    were entering harbor under steamScarlett stared in astonishment at

    @@@@@He caught a quick glimpse of them, and the platoon was halting in confusion now that they had escaped the hornetsPolack threw a glance over his shoulder at Croft and burst among the men shouting, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR? HERE COME THE BUGS!" Without pausing he ran past them, let loose a scream, and the platoon followed him, bolted in a new panicThey scattered over the floor of the amphitheater, continued on in the same spasm of effort over the next ridge, and down below to the valley, to the slopes of the rise beyondIn fifteen minutes they had fled beyond the point where they had started that morning
    When Croft finally caught up with the platoon, gathered them together, he discovered there were only three rifles and five packs leftHe knew they could never make the climb againHe was too weak himselfHe accepted the knowledge passively, too fagged to feel any regret or painIn a quiet tired voice he told them to rest before they turned back to the beach to meet the boat

    Goldstein told Croft how they had lost Wilson, and was surprised when he made no commentBut Croft was bothered by something elseDeep inside himself, Croft was relieved that he had not been able to climb the mountainFor that afternoon at least, as the platoon waited on the beach for the boats that were due the next day, Croft was rested by the unadmitted knowledge that he had found a limit to his hunger

    THE BOAT picked them up the next day and they started on the journey backThis time the landing craft had been equipped with eighteen bunks along the bulkheads and the men put their equipment in the empty ones and stretched out to sleepThey had been sleeping ever since they had come out of the jungle the preceding afternoon, and by now their bodies had stiffened and become painfulSome of them had missed a meal that morning but they were not hungryThe rigors of the patrol had left them depleted in many waysThey drowsed for hours on the return trip, awaking only to lie in their bunks and stare out at the sky above the open b

    "Go on back!" Croft commanded
    He turned to Wilson again"Of all the tricks you've ever pulledMan, you're on my shit-list from now on He stepped out of the hole, and walked back to his blanketsHe could feel his hands still trembling
    Wilson was bewilderedHe kept thinking of how merry Croft had been that afternoon, and he couldn't understand his sudden rageWhat's there to get a man so fussed about? he wonderedHe chuckled to himself, and then remembered how Croft had shaken himAh don' care how long Ah know him, Wilson told himself, they ain't no call for him to handle me any ol' wayNext time he do somethin' like that, Ah'll give him a belt or twoHe broke off moodily, and looked out across the barbed wireThe bush had been sheared away at its roots, and he had a fine field of viewShoulda done that long ago, he told himselfHe was feeling very hurt by Croft's angerJus' a little ol' burst o' machine-gun fireAbruptly, he realized that the entire bivouac probably was awake now, and men everywhere were listening tenselyGoddam, Wilson sighed, Ah get in more trouble when Ah get drunkHe began to giggle to himself

    his cowl pulled forward to shadow his masked face
    Without a word, he took Scarlett's hand, then circled her waist with
    his arm when the orchestra struck up a lively polkaShe danced as
    she
    hadn't danced in yearsShe was giddy, infected by the thrilling
    madness of masquerade, intoxicated by the strangeness of it all, by
    the
    champagne offered on silver trays held by satin-clad pages, by the
    delight of being at a party again, by her unquestionable successShe
    was a success, and she believed she was unknown, invulnerableShe

    told me he was acting strange - not like himself -
    and I put that together with him not taking his
    antidepressant pills and began to worryI said I
    thought he was planning to kill himself
    She stopped for a moment, then went on
    "Before he came, I never meant to say it right out
    like thatBut it's funny - the minute he walked
    through the door I was almost positive, and when
    359
    he kissed me I knew for a factIt was like kissing a corpse
    "I'll bet," I said, and tried to scratch my right
    arm
    "His face tightened up and I mean reallyEvery
    line smoothed out, and his mouth almost
    disappearedHe asked me who put an idea like that
    in my headAnd then, before I could even answer,
    he said it was bullshitThat's the word he used,
    and it's not a Tom Riley word at all
    She was right about thatThe Tom I'd known in the
    old days wouldn't have said bullshit if he'd had a
    mouthful
    "I didn't want to give him any names - certainly
    not yours, because he would have thought I was
    crazy, and not Illy's, because I didn't know what
    he might say to her if-"
    "I told you, Illy had nothing to do with-"
    "Be quietI just said these
    people who were talking about how funny he was
    acting didn't even know about the pills he's been
    taking since the second divorce, and how he quit
    taking them last MayHe calls them stupid-pills
    I said if he thought he was keeping everything
    360
    that was wrong with him under wraps, he was
    mistakenThen I said that if he did something to
    himself, I'd tell his mother and brother it was
    suicide, and it would break their heartsThat was
    your idea, Edgar, and it workedI hope you're
    proudThat was when he broke my vase and called
    me a meddlesome cunt, see? He was as white as a

    and focused
    “Still in a hurry?” he asked as we climbed into the jeepI wanted the time to stretch out forever What was the point in putting it off? The Seeker and her body would die if we waited
    too long, and I would still have to make the same choice
    “We'll hit Phoenix, thenIt's logical that they wouldn't notice this kind of raidIt doesn't make
    sense for humans to take your cold-storage tanksWhat possible use could we have for them?”
    The question didn't sound at all rhetorical, and I could feel him looking at me againBut I
    stared ahead at the rocks and said nothing
    It had been dark for a while by the time we traded vehicles and got to the freewayJared waited
    a few careful minutes with the inconspicuous sedan's lights offI counted ten cars passing by
    Then there was a long darkness between the headlights, and Jared pulled onto the road
    The trip to Phoenix was very short, though Jared kept the speed scrupulously below the limit
    Time was speeding up, as if the Earth were spinning faster
    We settled into the steady-moving traffic, flowing with it along the highway that circled the
    flat, sprawling cityI saw the hospital from the roadWe followed another car up the exit ramp,
    moving evenly, without hurry
    Jared turned into the main parking lot

    In the boys' bedroom, Matthew is asleep, and Edward, age seven, is sitting in a corner, sewing snips of thread into a scrap of cloth
    The father steps toward him, throws his shadow across the boy's faceWhat are you doing, boy?
    The child looks up petrifiedAnd the scraps, the thread, are hurled into the wastebasket
    He hears the argument raging about him, conducted in hoarse passionate whispers as a sop to his sleeping brotherI won't have him actin' like a goddam woman, you're to stop feedin' him all these books, all this womanish(The baseball bat and glove are gathering dust in the atticI didn't tell him a thing
    You didn't tell him to sew?
    Please, Cyrus, let him aloneThe slap reddens his cheek from the ear to the mouthThe boy sits on the floor, the tears dropping on his lap
    And you're to act like a man from now on, do you understand?
    Only when they have gone, too many things twist in his comprehensionThe mother had given him the thread, told him to do it quietly

    The sermon ends in churchWe are all children of the Lord Jesus and God, instruments of His compassion, committed unto earth to enact the instruments of His goodness, to sow the seeds of brotherhood and good works
    A fine sermon, the mother says
    Was he right? Edward asks
    Certainly, Cyrus says, only you got to take it with a grain of cautionLife's a hard thing and nobody gives you nothingEvery man's hand is against you, that's what you also find out
    Then he was wrong, FatherHe's right and I'm right, and it's just in religion you act one way, and in business, which is a lesser thing, well, you go about things in another wayIt's still Christian

    he
    was what she was searching for, that when she reached him the
    dream
    would lose its power and fade away, never to returnShe ran and ran,
    but he was always far ahead, always with his back turned on her
    Then
    the fog thickened, and he began to disappear, and she cried out to
    himYou're dreaming, it's not real Strong arms lifted her
    and held her, and she was warm and safe at lastScarlett half-woke
    with a startInstead, a lamp on a table cast a
    glowing light and she could see Rhett's face bent close above hers
    "Oh, Rhett," she cried
    "The old dream?"
    "Yes, yes-well, almostThere was something different, I can't
    remember But I was cold and hungry and I couldn't see because of
    the fog, and I was so frightened, Rhett, it was terrible He held her
    close and his voice vibrated in his hard chest next to her ear
    GCOf course you were cold and hungryThat supper wasn fit to eat,
    and
    you've kicked off your blanketsI'll pull them up, and you'll sleep
    just fine He laid her down against the pillows Rhett spread the blankets up over her
