5:31 am	@@@@@ Suddenly, it all came clearIt was the smell @@@@@ Suddenly, it all came clearIt was the smell that did itAs I played with the sand-like material inside the bag, I got an unexpected whiff of a familiar scentIt took me back to my bare kitchen in San Diego, to the low cupboard on the left side of the sinkIn my head I could see so clearly the bag of uncooked rice, the plastic measuring cup I used to dole it out, the rows of canned food behind it… Once I realized that I was touching a bag of rice, I understoodIwas in the right place after all Hadn't Jeb said they used this place for storage? And hadn't Jared just returned from a long raid? Now everything the raiders had stolen in the weeks they'd been gone was dumped in this out-of-the-way place until it could be used Many thoughts ran through my head at once First, I realized that I was surrounded by foodNot just rough bread and weak onion soup, butfoodSomewhere in this stack, there could be peanut butterChocolate chip cookies Even as I imagined finding these things, tasting them again, being full for the first time since I'd left civilization, I felt guilty for thinking of itJared hadn't risked his life and spent weeks hiding and stealing to feedmeThis food was for others I also worried that perhaps this wasn't the entire haulWhat if they had more boxes to stow? Would Jared and Kyle be the ones to bring them? It didn't take any imagination at all to picture the scene that would result if they found me here But wasn't that why I was here? Wasn't that exactly what I'd needed to be alone to think about? I slouched against the wallThe rice bag made a decent pillowI closed my eyes–unnecessary in the inky darkness–and settled in for a consultationWhat now? I was glad to find that she was still awake and alertOpposition brought out her strengthIt was only when things were going well that she drifted away Priorities,she decidedhat's most important to us? Staying alive? Or Jamie? She knew the answer (Comment on this)

We differ thereNo, hers is not a cruel natureI do not consider her as meaning to wound my feelingsThe evil lies yet deeper: in her total ignorance, unsuspiciousness of there being such feelings; in a perversion of mind which made it natural to her to treat the subject as she didShe was speaking only as she had been used to hear others speak, as she imagined everybody else would speakHers are not faults of temperShe would not voluntarily give unnecessary pain to any one, and though I may deceive myself, I cannot but think that for me, for my feelings, she would— Hers are faults of principle, Fanny; of blunted delicacy and a corrupted, vitiated mindPerhaps it is best for me, since it leaves me so little to regretGladly would I submit to all the increased pain of losing her, rather than have to think of her as I do “Did you?” “Yes; when I left her I told her so “How long were you together?” “Five-and-twenty minutesWell, she went on to say that what remained now to be done was to bring about a marriage between themShe spoke of it, Fanny, with a steadier voice than I can He was obliged to pause more than once as he continued“‘We must persuade Henry to marry her,’ said she; ‘and what with honour, and the certainty of having shut himself out for ever from Fanny, I do not despair of itFanny he must give upI do not think that even he could now hope to succeed with one of her stamp, and therefore I hope we may find no insuperable difficulty (Comment on this)

5:33 am	@@@@@ It required a longer time, however, than @@@@@ It required a longer time, however, than MrsNorris was inclined to allow, to reconcile Fanny to the novelty of Mansfield Park, and the separation from everybody she had been used toHer feelings were very acute, and too little understood to be properly attended 13 Jane Austen toNobody meant to be unkind, but nobody put themselves out of their way to secure her comfort The holiday allowed to the Miss Bertrams the next day, on purpose to afford leisure for getting acquainted with, and entertaining their young cousin, produced little unionThey could not but hold her cheap on finding that she had but two sashes, and had never learned French; and when they perceived her to be little struck with the duet they were so good as to play, they could do no more than make her a generous present of some of their least valued toys, and leave her to herself, while they adjourned to whatever might be the favourite holiday sport of the moment, making artificial flowers or wasting gold paper Fanny, whether near or from her cousins, whether in the schoolroom, the drawing-room, or the shrubbery, was equally forlorn, finding something to fear in every person and placeShe was disheartened by Lady Bertram’s silence, awed by Sir Thomas’s grave looks, and quite overcome by MrsHer elder cousins mortified her by reflections on her size, and abashed her by noticing her shyness: Miss Lee wondered at her ignorance, and the maid-servants sneered at her clothes; and when to these sorrows was added the idea of the brothers and sisters among whom she had always been important as playfellow, instructress, and nurse, the despondence that sunk her little heart was severe The grandeur of the house astonished, but could not console her The rooms were too large for her to move in with ease: whatever she touched she expected to injure, and she crept about in constant terror of something or other; often retreating towards her own chamber to cry; and the little girl who was spoken of in the drawingroom when she left it at night as seeming so desirably sensible of her peculiar good fortune, ended every day’s sorrows by sobbing herself to sleepA week had passed in this way, and no suspicion of it conveyed by her quiet passive manner, when she was found one morning by her cousin Edmund, the youngest of the sons, sitting crying on the attic stairs “My dear little cousin,” said he, with all the gentleness of an excellent nature, “what can be the matter?” And sitting down by her, he was at great pains to overcome her shame in being so surprised, 14 Mansfield Park and persuade her to speak openly“Was she ill? or was anybody angry with her? or had she quarrelled with Maria and Julia? or was she puzzled about anything in her lesson that he could explain? Did she, in short, want anything he could possibly get her, or do for her? For a long while no answer could be obtained beyond a “no, no— not at all—no, thank you”; but he still persevered; and no sooner had he begun to revert to her own home, than her increased sobs explained to him where the grievance layHe tried to console her “You are sorry to leave Mama, my dear little Fanny,” said he, “which shows you to be a very good girl; but you must remember that you are with relations and friends, who all love you, and wish to make you happyLet us walk out in the park, and you shall tell me all about your brothers and sisters On pursuing the subject, he found that, dear as all these brothers and sisters generally were, there was one among them who ran more in her thoughts than the restIt was William whom she talked of most, and wanted most to seeWilliam, the eldest, a year older than herself, her constant companion and friend; her advocate with her mother (of whom he was the darling) in every distress“William did not like she should come away; he had told her he should miss her very much indeed “But William will write to you, I dare say “Yes, he had promised he would, but he had told her to write first “And when shall you do it?” She hung her head and answered hesitatingly, “she did not know; she had not any paper “If that be all your difficulty, I will furnish you with paper and every other material, and you may write your letter whenever you choo (Comment on this)

5:31 am	@@@@@For once he had heard Wilson"You can shut up @@@@@For once he had heard Wilson"You can shut up that kine of talk," he told himHis breath came in heavy sobs and he stared at Wilson vacantly as if he could not focus his eyes"Nuff of that," he blurted outEven in his exhaustion he was profoundly shocked"Ought know better talk like that," he panted "Ridges, you're jus' chickenshit," Wilson said Ridges shook his head like a bullAll his life there had been any number of things he could not doMaking love to a Negro was a luxury as well as a sin to him; it was one of the excessive things you could not do and survive But Wilson was far away alreadyThe warmth in his body, the pleasantly heavy lassitude of his limbs tricked himHe thought it was sexual anticipation, and a thick foundationless lust rose in his throatHe closed his eyes, recalling a moonlit night and the creekbank of the river outside his townHe chuckled weakly, some phlegm burbling into his throatHe swallowed it againHe felt his cheeks puckering, and he lapsed into a gentle weeping which issued easily out of himHe noticed it with surprise Suddenly he was aware of his mouth again, felt his tongue lolling in his throat"Gimme some water, huh, men?" There was no answer and he said again patiently"Jus' a little drink, huh, men?" They would not answer him, and he was angry"Goddammit, men, gimme a little water "Hold off," Ridges said hoarsely "Men, Ah do anythin' for ya, y' gimme a little water Ridges set him down (Comment on this)

She laughed with Scarlett while they stared at the extraordinary object in the center of the roomIt was immense, at least ten feet long and eight wideFour enormously thick dark oak posts carved to look like Greek goddesses supported a tester frame on their laurel-wreathed headsThe head and footboards were carved in deep relief with scenes of toga-clad men in heroic postures beneath bowers of intertwined grapes and flowersAt the rounded peak of the tall headboard there was a flaking, goldleafed crown"What kind of giant do you reckon slept in it?" asked carlett "It was probably made especially for a visit from the Viceroy "Who's that?"
