    @@@@@But even in his laughter Hearn had a picture of himself, saw his big body writhing slightly in mirth on his cot, saw his own shock of black hair, his features contorting in this curious convulsive mirth
    Once a woman who had been his mistress for a time had brought him a mirror in the morning, and said, "Look at yourself, you're just like an ape when you're in bed
    The mirth was a little exasperated now, his limbs almost feverishJesus, what a situation
    But when morning came, Hearn was no longer sure that anything had happened at all


    Chorus:
    WOMEN

    The second squad is digging a new latrineIt is midafternoon and the sun is lancing through a gap in the coconut trees and refracting brightly from the rough stubbled groundMinetta and Polack are down in the trench, working slowlyTheir shirts are removed and there is a wide band of moisture on their pants under their beltsEvery ten or fifteen seconds a spadeful of earth lofts out of the hole and drops with a light pattering sound on the mound of soil beside the latrine

    MINETTA: (sighing) That lucky wop, Toglio(He leans his foot against the shovel You think we're lucky being back here? Up there you can get wounded and go home All right, so he can't move his elbow so good
    POLACK: Who needs an elbow to screw with?

    are against youGod help you, Scarlett, because I can'tWhen
    Christian ladies turn on you, you'd better not hope for Christian
    charity or forgiveness
    They won't allow it in anybody else, either, especially not their

    Again smiling, the Mafia supremo reached into his pocket and pulled out the small notebook

    happened to Monica Goldstein's Jack Russell

    If you've been picturing my convalescent retreat
    as a lakeside cottage standing in splendid
    isolation at the end of a lonely dirt road in the
    north woods, you better think again - we're
    talking your basic suburbiaOur place by the lake
    stood at the end of Aster Lane, a paved street
    running from East Hoyt Avenue to the waterOur
    closest neighbors were the Goldsteins
    In the middle of October, I finally took Kathi
    Green's advice and gucci ladies watch began to walkThese were not
    the Great Beach Walks I took later, and I came
    back from even these short outings with my bad hip
    crying for mercy (and more than once with tears
    standing in my eyes), but they were steps in the
    right directionI was returning from one of these
    walks when MrsFevereau hit Monica's dog
    I was three-quarters of the way home when the
    Fevereau woman went past me in her ridiculous
    mustard-colored HummerAs always, she had her
    cell phone in one hand and a cigarette in the
    other; as always she was omega seamaster gmt going too fastI barely
    41
    noticed, and I certainly didn't see Gandalf dash
    into the street up ahead, concentrating only on
    Monica, coming down the other side of the street
    in Full Girl ScoutI was concentrating on my
    reconstructed hipAs always near the end of my
    short strolls, this so-called medical marvel felt
    packed with roughly ten thousand tiny points of
    broken glass
    Then tires yowled, and a little girl's scream
    joined them: "GANDALF, NO!"
    For a moment I had a clear and unearthly vision of
    the crane that had gucci tote almost killed me, the world I'd
    always lived in suddenly eaten up by a yellow much
    brighter than MrsFevereau's Hummer, and black
    letters floating in it, swelling, getting larger:
    LINK-BELT
    Then Gandalf began to scream, too, and the
    flashback - what DrKamen would have called a
    recovered memory, I suppose - was goneUntil that
    afternoon in October four years ago, I hadn't
    known dogs could scream
    I broke into a lurching, crabwise run, pounding
    the sidewalk with my red crutchI'm sure it would
    have appeared ludicrous to an louis vuitton multicolore onlooker, but no one
    42
    was paying any attention to meMonica Goldstein
    was kneeling in the middle of the street beside
    her dog, which lay in front of the Hummer's high,
    boxy grilleHer face was white above her forestgreen
    uniform, from which a sash of badges and
    medals hungThe end of this sash was soaking in a
    spreading pool of Gandalf's bloodFevereau half-jumped and half-fell from the
    Hummer's ridiculously high driver's seatAva

    Goldstein house, crying her daughter's kelly hermes bag n

    Or did he want to know what I thought about Jared? My feelings on the experiment? More
    details about my responses to physical contact? I shuddered
    Or my thoughts on Melanie? Melanie's thoughts on their conversation? Whether I agreed with
    Jared abouther rights?

    “It's a surprise to me, too
    We both thought that over“And… I suppose…that is one of the things you don't know how you feel
    about?”
    “NoI mean yes, I…don't knowI… I –”
    “That's okayYou haven't had long to think about itAnd it must seem… strange

    Everything about him was bony and knobbedHe was over six feet tall without weighing one hundred and fifty poundsIn silhouette his profile consisted almost entirely of a large blob of a nose and a long low-slung jaw, a combination which made his face chanel classic bag seem boiled and angryHe had an expression of concentrated contempt but behind it his tired eyes, a rather painful blue, were quiet, marooned by themselves in a web of wrinkles and freckles

    fret because I was around the house too much, not having any
    business
    to tend to
    Then-glory be-along come the Panic, and all the Rebs grabbed their
    savings out of the banks and put the money in their mattresses
    Every house-even the shacks-was a golden opportunity I just couldn't
    let pass me by
    "Stop your gassing, Bill, what did you come up with? I'm getting
    thirsty waiting for you to finish patting yourself on the back and get
    to the point Amos Bart punctuated his impatience with a practiced
    spit that fell short of its targeted spittoonScarlett was feeling
    impatient, tooImpatient to get away"Keep your shirt on, Amos,
    I'm
    coming to itWhat was the way to get in those mattresses? I ain't
    the revival-preacher kind, I like to sit behind my desk and let my
    employ-ees do the hustlingThat's just what I was doing, sitting in
    my leather swivel chair, when I looked out my window and saw a
    funeral
    going byIt was like lightning strikingThere ain't a roof in
    Georgia that don't have some dearly departed once lived under it'
    Scarlett stared with horror at Bill Weller as he described the fraud
    that was adding to hisriches"The mothers and widows are the
    easiest,
    and there's more of them than anything elseThey don't blink an eye
    when my boys tell them that the Confederate Veterans are putting up
    monuments on all the battlefields, and they empty out those
    mattresses
    quicker than you can say 'Abe Lincoln' to pay for their boy's name to
    be carved in the marble It was worse than Scarlett could have
    imagined"You sly old fox, Bill, that's pure genius!" Amos
    exclaimed, and the men in the group laughed more loudly than before
    Scarlett felt ú as if she were going to be sickNonexistent railroads
    and gold mines had never concerned her, but the mothers and widows

    Weller was cheating were her own peopleHe might be sending his
    men
    right now to Beatrice Tarleton, or Cathleen Calvert, or Dimity Munroe,
    or any other woman in Clayton County who had lost a son or a brother
    or
    a husbandHer voice cut through the laughter like a knife"That's
    the most low-down, filthy story I ever heard in my lifeYou disgust
    me, Bill ú WellerAll of you disgust meWhat do you know about
    Southerners-about decent people anywhere? You've never had a
    decent
    thought or done a decent thing in all your lives!" She pushed with
    hands outstretched through the thunderstruck men and women who
    had
    gathered around Weller, then ran, rubbing her hands on her skirts to
    wipe off the stain of having touched themThe dining room and the
    glittering silver dishes of elaborate food were in front of her; her

    dishonorable discharge, but it was obvious that he had to resign from the serviceUnfortunately, he

    It was chilly even with the glass sliders shut,
    but in a way that was goodI thought the cool air
    might sharpen me up a littleAnd maybe the sight
    of the sun dropping toward the horizon and
    painting its golden track across the water would
    calm me downBecause I wasn't calmMy heart was
    pounding too hard, my cheeks felt hot, my hip hurt
    like a bastard, and I suddenly realized, with real

    For perhaps five minutes he peered at the field and the grove, thinking of nothing at all, his eyes and ears the only part of him wholly aliveThe tension with which he watched, the taut pressure in his chest was pleasurable, complete in itself, like a man in the first stages of drunkenness when he is content to feel only the symptoms of his intoxicationMartinez was holding his breath but he was unaware of it
