"I hope it's cleaned up at least," Brown @@@@@ "I hope it's cleaned up at least," Brown muttered Croft felt superior and dejectedHe had been disappointed when he had learned weeks before that recon was to be assigned to the beach detail for the first weekAnd he had felt a silent contempt when the men in the platoon had shown their pleasure in the news"Chickenshit," he muttered to himself nowA man who was afraid to put his neck out on the line was no damn goodLeading the men was a responsibility he craved; he felt powerful and certain at such momentsHe longed to be in the battle that was taking place inland from the beach, and he resented the decision which left the platoon on an unloading detailHe passed his hand along his gaunt hard cheek and looked silently about him Hennessey was standing near the sternAs Croft watched his white silent face, he decided that Hennessey was frightened and it amused himThe boy found it hard to be still; he kept bobbing about in his place, and once or twice he flinched noticeably at a sudden noise; his leg began to itch and he scratched it violentlyThen, as Croft watched, Hennessey pulled his left trouser out of his legging, rolled it up to expose his knee, and with a great deal of care rubbed a little spittle over the irritated red spot on his kneeCroft gazed at the white flesh with its blond hairs, noticed the pains with which Hennessey replaced his trouser in the legging, and felt an odd excitement as if the motions were importantThat boy is too careful, Croft told himself And then with a passionate certainty he thought, "Hennessey's going to get killed today He felt like laughing to release the ferment in himThis time he was sure But, abruptly, Croft remembered the poker game the preceding night when he had failed to draw his full house, and he was confused and then disgustedYou figure you're getting a little too smart for yourself, he thoughtHis disgust came because he felt he could not trust such emotions, rather than from any conviction that they had no meaning at allHe shook his head and sat back on his haunches, feeling the assault boat race in toward land, his mind empty, waiting for what events would bring Martinez had his worst minute just before they landedAll the agonies of the previous night, all the fears he had experienced early that morning had reached their climax in himHe dreaded the moment when the ramp would go down and he would have to get out of the | | Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 | | 3:06 am |
@@@@@He then returned to his former station,
and @@@@@He then returned to his former station, and went on as if there had been no such tender interruption “A sermon, well delivered, is more uncommon even than prayers well readA sermon, good in itself, is no rare thingIt is more difficult to speak well than to compose well; that is, the rules and trick of composition are oftener an object of studyA thoroughly good sermon, thoroughly well delivered, is a capital gratificationI can never hear such a one without the greatest admiration and respect, and more than half a mind to take orders and preach myselfThere is something in the eloquence of the pulpit, when it is really eloquence, which is entitled to the highest praise and honourThe preacher who can touch and affect such an heterogeneous mass of hearers, on subjects limited, and long worn threadbare in all common hands; who can say anything new or striking, anything that rouses the attention without offending the taste, or wearing out the feelings of his hearers, is a man whom one could not, in his public capacity, honour enoughI should like to be such a manI never listened to a distinguished preacher in my life without a sort of envyBut then, I must have a London audienceI could not preach but to the educated; to those who were capable of estimating my compositionAnd I do not know that I should be fond of preaching often; now and then, perhaps once or 296 Mansfield Park twice in the spring, after being anxiously expected for half a dozen Sundays together; but not for a constancy; it would not do for a constancy Here Fanny, who could not but listen, involuntarily shook her head, and Crawford was instantly by her side again, entreating to know her meaning; and as Edmund perceived, by his drawing in a chair, and sitting down close by her, that it was to be a very thorough attack, that looks and undertones were to be well tried, he sank as quietly as possible into a corner, turned his back, and took up a newspaper, very sincerely wishing that dear little Fanny might be persuaded into explaining away that shake of the head to the satisfaction of her ardent lover; and as earnestly trying to bury every sound of the business from himself in murmurs of his own, over the various advertisements of “A most desirable Estate in South Wales”; “To Parents and Guardians”; and a “Capital season’d Hunter Fanny, meanwhile, vexed with herself for not having been as motionless as she was speechless, and grieved to the heart to see Edmund’s arrangements, was trying by everything in the power of her modest, gentle nature, to repulse MrCrawford, and avoid both his looks and inquiries; and he, unrepulsable, was persisting in both “What did that shake of the head mean?” said he“What was it meant to express? Disapprobation, I fearBut of what? What had I been saying to displease you? Did you think me speaking improperly, lightly, irreverently on the subject? Only tell me if I wasOnly tell me if I was wrongI want to be set rightNay, nay, I entreat you; for one moment put down your workWhat did that shake of the head mean?” In vain was her “Pray, sir, don’t; pray, MrCrawford,” repeated twice over; and in vain did she try to move awayIn the same low, eager voice, and the same close neighbourhood, he went on, reurging the same questions as befo | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 3:11 am |
@@@@@If the Jackal’s
man was among them—and he @@@@@If the Jackal’s man was among them—and he might well be—it would take far more information than was to be found in the printouts before Jason could refine the listIt might be necessary to go back to this group, but for the moment he had to keep readingThere was so little time! Of the remaining five hundred or so American guests at the hotel, two hundred and twelve had entries in one or more of the intelligence data banks, the majority because they had business with the governmentHowever, seventy-eight had raw-file negative evaluationsThirty-one were Internal Revenue Service matters, which meant they were suspected of destroying or falsifying financial records and/or had tax havens in Swiss or Cayman Island accountsThey were zero, nothing, merely rich and not very bright thieves, and, further, the sort of “messengers” Carlos would avoid like lepers That left forty-seven possiblesMen and women—in eleven cases ostensibly husbands and wives—with extensive connections in Europe, in the main with technological firms and related nuclear and aerospace industries, all under intelligence microscopes for possibly selling classified information to brokers of the Eastern bloc and therefore to MoscowOf these forty-seven possibles, including two of the eleven couples, an even dozen had made recent trips to the Soviet Union— scratch all of themThe Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti, otherwise known as the KGB, had less use for the Jackal than the PopeIlich Ramirez Sanchez, later Carlos the assassin, had been trained in the American compound of Novgorod, where the streets were lined with American gas stations and grocery stores, boutiques and Burger Kings, and everyone spoke American English with diverse dialects—no Russian was allowed—and only those who passed the course were permitted to proceed to the next level of infiltratorsThe Jackal had, indeed, passed, but when the Komitet discovered that the young Venezuelan revolutionary’s solution for all things disagreeable was to eliminate them violently, it was too much for even the inheritors of the brutal OGPU Sanchez was expelled and Carlos the Jackal was bornForget about the twelve people who had traveled to the Soviet UnionThe assassin would not touch them, for there was a standing order in all branches of Russian intelligence that if Carlos was tracked he was to be shotNovgorod was to be protected at all cost The possibles were thus narrowed to thirty-five, the hotel’s register listing them as nine couples, four single women and thirteen single menThe raw-file printouts from the data banks de scribed in detail the facts and speculations that resulted in the negative evaluation of each individualIn truth, the speculations far outnumbered the facts and were too often based on hostile appraisals given by Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 53 enemies or competitors, but each had to be studied, many with distaste, for among the information might be a word or phrase, a location or an act, that was the link to Carlos The telephone rang, breaking Jason’s concentrationHe blinked at the harsh, intrusive sound as if trying to locate the source, then he sprang from the couch and rushed to the desk, reaching the phone on the third ringI’m calling from down the street “Are you coming up?” “Not through that lobby, I’m notI’ve made arrangements for the service entrance, with a temporary guard hired this afternoon “You’re covering all the bases, aren’t you?” “Nowhere near as many as I’d like to,” replied Conklin | | Saturday, December 4th, 2010 | | 3:06 am |
