    Jason found a pay phone in Garfinkel’s department store and called Alex in Virginia, giving him
    both aliases and selecting one for the Mayflower hotelConklin would officially secure a room
    through the management in the event that summer reservations were tightFurther, Langley would
    activate a Four Zero imperative and do its best to furnish Bourne with the material he needed,
    delivering it to his room as soon as replica tiffany jewelry possibleThe estimate was a minimum of an additional three
    hours, no guarantees as to the time or authenticityRegardless, thought Jason, as Alex reconfirmed
    the information on a second direct line to the CIA, he needed at least two of those three hours
    before going to the hotelHe had a small wardrobe to put together; the Chameleon was reverting to
    type
    “Steve DeSole tells me he’ll start spinning the disks, crosschecking ours with fendi sale the army data
    banks and naval intelligence,” said Conklin, returning to the line“Peter Holland can make it
    happen; he’s the president’s crony
    “Crony? That’s an odd word coming from you
    “Like in crony appointmentHow about you? Any progress?”
    Conklin paused, and when he answered his quiet voice conveyed his fear; it was controlled but
    the fear was there“Let’s put it this wayI’m not equipped for what I’ve learnedI’ve been gucci messenger bag away
    too longI’m afraid, Jason—sorry
    “You’re right the first timeHave you discussed—”
    “Nothing by name,” broke in the retired intelligence officer quickly, firmly
    “You couldn’t,” contradicted Alex With these cryptic words
    Conklin abruptly hung up
    Slowly Bourne did the same, frowning in concernAlex was the one now sounding
    melodramatic, and it was not like him to think that way or act that wayControl was his Cartier Tortue byword,
    understatement his personaWhatever he had learned profoundly disturbed him so much so as to
    make it seem to Bourne that he no longer trusted the procedures he himself had set up, or even the

    reasons Jason could not fathom, Alexander Conklin did not want to talk about Medusa or whatever

    We were just moving on to the Dragons when Jamie showed up with dinner for three
    “Hi, Wanderer,” he said, a little embarrassed
    “Hi, Jamie,” I answered, a little shy, not sure if he would regret the closeness we'd sharedI
    was, after all, the bad guy
    But he sat down right next to me, between me and Jeb, crossing his legs and setting the food
    tray in the middle of our little conclaveI was starving, and parched from all the talkingI took a
    bowl of soup and downed it in a few gulps
    “Shoulda known you were just being polite in the mess hall todayGotta speak up when you're
    hungry, Wanda
    I didn't agree with that last part, but I was too busy chewing a mouthful of bread to answer
    “Wanda?” Jamie asked
    I nodded, letting him know that I didn't mind
    “Kinda suits her, doncha think?” Jeb was so proud of himself, I was surprised he didn't pat
    himself on the back, just for effect
    “Kinda, I guess,” Jamie said“Were you guys talking about dragons?”
    “Yeah,” Jeb told him enthusiastically, “but not the lizardy kindThey're all made up of jelly
    They can fly, though… sort ofThe air's thicker, sort of jelly, tooSo it's almost like swimming
    And they can breathe acid–that's about as good as fire, wouldn't you say?”
    I let Jeb fill Jamie in on the details while I ate more than my share of food and drained a water
    bottleWhen my mouth was free, Jeb started in with the questions again
    “Now, this acid…”
    Jamie didn't ask questions the way Jeb did, and I was more careful about what I said with him

    @@@@@I
    am sure his sisters, rating him as they do, must have thought it so,
    supposing he had meant nothingHow, then, was I to be—to be in
    love with him the moment he said he was with me? How was I to
    have an attachment at his service, as soon as it was asked for? His
    sisters should consider me as well as himThe higher his deserts, the
    more improper for me ever to have thought of himAnd, and—we
    think very differently of the nature of women, if they can imagine a
    woman so very soon capable of returning an affection as this seems
    to imply
    “My dear, dear Fanny, now I have the truthI know this to be the
    truth; and most worthy of you are such feelingsI had attributed
    them to you beforeI thought I could understand youYou have
    now given exactly the explanation which I ventured to make for
    you to your friend and MrsGrant, and they were both better satisfied,
    though your warm-hearted friend was still run away with a
    little by the enthusiasm of her fondness for HenryI told them that
    you were of all human creatures the one over whom habit had most
    power and novelty least; and that the very circumstance of the novelty
    of Crawford’s addresses was against himTheir being so new
    and so recent was all in their disfavour; that you could tolerate nothing
    that you were not used to; and a great deal more to the same
    purpose, to give them a knowledge of your characterMiss Crawford
    307
    Jane Austen
    made us laugh by her plans of encouragement for her brotherShe
    meant to urge him to persevere in the hope of being loved in time,
    and of having his addresses most kindly received at the end of about
    ten years’ happy marriage
    Fanny could with difficulty give the smile that was here asked for
    Her feelings were all in revoltShe feared she had been doing wrong:
    saying too much, overacting the caution which she had been fancying
    necessary; in guarding against one evil, laying herself open to another;
    and to have Miss Crawford’s liveliness repeated to her at such a
    moment, and on such a subject, was a bitter aggravation
    Edmund saw weariness and distress in her face, and immediately
    resolved to forbear all farther discussion; and not even to mention
    the name of Crawford again, except as it might be connected with
    what must be agreeable to herOn this principle, he soon afterwards
    observed—”They go on MondayYou are sure, therefore, of seeing
    your friend either to-morrow or SundayThey really go on Monday;
    and I was within a trifle of being persuaded to stay at Lessingby
    till that very day! I had almost promised itWhat a difference it
    might have made! Those five or six days more at Lessingby might
    have been felt all my life

    I received any letter from Mansfield, to tell me how you were all

    carried out they could remain here in this paradise until his woman died, a date that was imprecise
    at bestThe Jackal’s generosity was not so grand as it appeared; his woman’s death, as well as his
    own, had been scheduledJacques picked up the phone in his office“Yes?”
    “They have met, sir!” said the excited assistant manager at the front desk

    “Who have met?”
    “The great man and his illustrious relative from Boston, MassachusettsI would have called you
    at once, but there was a mix-up concerning a box of Belgian chocolates—”
    “What are you talking about?”
    “Several minutes ago, sir, I saw them through the windowsThey were conferring on the path
    My esteemed uncle, the deputy director, was right in all things!”
    “That’s nice

    will, of course, my brilliant uncle

    Brendan Prefontaine hurried through the door of the circular glass-walled lobbyHe had waited
    until the old Frenchman had turned into the first villa before reversing direction and heading
    straight for the main complexAs he had done so many times over the past thirty years, he was
    forced to think quickly on his feet—usually running feet—building plausible explanations that
    would support a number of obvious possibilities as well as others not so obviousHe had just
    committed an unavoidable yet stupid error, unavoidable because he was not prepared to give
    Tranquility Inn’s desk a false name in case identification was required, and stupid because he had
    given a false name to the hero of FranceWell, not stupid; the similarity of their surnames might
    have led to unwanted complications where the purpose of his trip to Montserrat was concerned,
    which was quite simply extortion—to learn what so frightened Randolph Gates that he would part
    with fifteen thousand dollars, and having learned it perhaps collect a great deal moreNo, the
    stupidity was in not taking the precautionary step he was about to takeHe approached the front
    desk and the tall, slender clerk behind it

    examples, but Scarlett heard from general conversation about the
    violence against landlords that was cropping up all over Ireland
    Fields were torched, cows had their throats cut, an agent for a big
    estate near Galway was ambushed and hacked to pieces
    There was hushed, anxious talk about a resurgence of the Whiteboys,

    @@@@@By degrees the girls came to spend the chief of the
    morning upstairs, at first only in working and talking, but after a
    few days, the remembrance of the said books grew so potent and
    stimulative that Fanny found it impossible not to try for books again
    There were none in her father’s house; but wealth is luxurious and
    daring, and some of hers found its way to a circulating libraryShe
    became a subscriber; amazed at being anything in propria persona,
    amazed at her own doings in every way, to be a renter, a chuser of
    books! And to be having any one’s improvement in view in her choice!
    But so it wasSusan had read nothing, and Fanny longed to give her
    348
    Mansfield Park
    a share in her own first pleasures, and inspire a taste for the biography
    and poetry which she delighted in herself
    In this occupation she hoped, moreover, to bury some of the recollections
    of Mansfield, which were too apt to seize her mind if her
    fingers only were busy; and, especially at this time, hoped it might
    be useful in diverting her thoughts from pursuing Edmund to London,
    whither, on the authority of her aunt’s last letter, she knew he
    was goneShe had no doubt of what would ensueThe promised
    notification was hanging over her headThe postman’s knock within
    the neighbourhood was beginning to bring its daily terrors, and if
    reading could banish the idea for even half an hour, it was something
    gained
    349
    Jane Austen
    CHAPTER XLI
    A WEEK WAS GONE since Edmund might be supposed in town, and
    Fanny had heard nothing of himThere were three different conclusions
    to be drawn from his silence, between which her mind was
    in fluctuation; each of them at times being held the most probable
    Either his going had been again delayed, or he had yet procured no
    opportunity of seeing Miss Crawford alone, or he was too happy for
    letter-writing!
    One morning, about this time, Fanny having now been nearly four
    weeks from Mansfield, a point which she never failed to think over
    and calculate every day, as she and Susan were preparing to remove, as
    usual, upstairs, they were stopped by the knock of a visitor, whom
    they felt they could not avoid, from Rebecca’s alertness in going to the
    door, a duty which always interested her beyond any other
    It was a gentleman’s voice; it was a voice that Fanny was just turning
    pale about, when MrCrawford walked into the room
    Good sense, like hers, will always act when really called upon; and
    she found that she had been able to name him to her mother, and
    recall her remembrance of the name, as that of “William’s friend,”
    though she could not previously have believed herself capable of
    uttering a syllable at such a momentThe consciousness of his being
    known there only as William’s friend was some supportHaving
    introduced him, however, and being all reseated, the terrors that
    occurred of what this visit might lead to were overpowering, and
    she fancied herself on the point of fainting away
    While trying to keep herself alive, their visitor, who had at first
    approached her with as animated a countenance as ever, was wisely
    and kindly keeping his eyes away, and giving her time to recover,
    while he devoted himself entirely to her mother, addressing her, and
    attending to her with the utmost politeness and propriety, at the
    350
    Mansfield Park
    same time with a degree of friendliness, of interest at least, which
    was making his manner perfectPrice’s manners were also at their bestWarmed by the sight
    of such a friend to her son, and regulated by the wish of appearing
    to advantage before him, she was overflowing with gratitude—artless,
    maternal gratitude—which could not be unpleasingPrice
    was out, which she regretted very muchFanny was just recovered
    enough to feel that she could not regret it; for to her many other
    sources of uneasiness was added the severe one of shame for the
    home in which he found herShe might scold herself for the weakness,
    but there was no scolding it awayShe was ashamed, and she
    would have been yet more ashamed of her father than of all the rest
    They talked of William, a subject on which MrsPrice could never

    The following night I lined the sunset with
    bundles of witchgrass, and the brilliant orange
    shining through the green turned the horizon into
    a forest fireThe night after that I tried palm
    trees, but that was no good, that one was another

    Two days later, when Jack came by to ask if I
    wanted to run errands, I said I wanted to go to a
    bookstore and buy a book of Salman Dalí's art"I think you mean Salvador Dalí," he
    said"Unless you're thinking about the guy who
    wrote the book that got him in so much hot water
    I can't remember the name of it
    "The Satanic Verses," I said at onceThe mind's a
    funny monkey, isn't it?
    When I got back with my book of prints - it cost a
    staggering one hundred and nineteen dollars, even
    with my Barnes & Noble discount card, good thing
    I'd saved a few million out of the divorce for
    115
    myself - the MESSAGE WAITING lamp of my answering
    machine was flashingIt was Ilse, and the message
    was cryptic only at first listen
    "Mom's going to phone you," she said"I did my
    best talking, Dad - called in every favor she owed
    me, added my very best pretty-please and just
    about begged Lin, so say yes, okay? Say yes
    I sat down, ate a Table Talk pie I'd been looking
    forward to but no longer wanted, and leafed
    through my expensive picture-book, thinking - and
    I'm sure this wasn't original - Well hello, Dalí
    I wasn't always impress

    He killed the engine and slumped against the seatHe reached over and took my handI knew

    @@@@@Rhett could manage
    anything, even the ocean itselfShe lifted her head, as his was
    lifted, and gave herself over to the wild perilous excitement
    Scarlett did not know about the chaotic power of the windAs the
    little sloop rode up the side of the thirty-foot wave, the wind
    stoppedIt was only for a few seconds, a freak of the center of the
    squall, but the mainsail flattened, and the boat slewed to broadside,
    carried erratically by water current only in a perilous climb
    Scarlett was aware that Rhett was rapidly freeing his arm from the
    encircling slack line, that he was doing something different with the
    swinging tiller, but she had no hint that anything was wrong until the
    crest of the wave was nearly under the keel and Rhett shouted, "Jibe!
    Jibe," and threw his body painfully over hersShe heard a rattling,
    creaking noise close to her head and sensed the slow then faster then
    rushing swing of the heavy boom aboveEverything happened very
    fast,
    yet it seemed to be terribly, unnaturally slow, as though the whole
    world were stoppingShe looked without understanding at Rhett's
    face
    so near to hers, and then it was gone and he was on his knees again
    doing something, she didn't know what, except that heavy loops of
    thick
    rope were falling on herShe didn't see the crosswind ruffle, then
    suddenly fill, the wet canvas of the mainsail and propel it to the
    opposite side of the wayless sloop with an ever-mounting force so
    mightly that there was a crack like the sound of lightning striking and
    the thick mast broke and was carried into the sea by the momentum
    and
    weight of the sailThe hull of the boat bucked, then lifted to
    starboard and rolled slowly, following the pull of the fouled rigging,
    until it was upside downCapsized in the cold storm-torn seaShe'd
    never known such cold could existCold rain pelting her, colder
    waters surrounding her, pulling at herHer whole body must be
    frozen
    Her teeth were chattering uncontrollably, making such a noise in her
    head that she couldn't think, couldn't understand what was happening,
    except that she must be paralyzed, because she couldn't moveAnd
    yet
    she was moving, in sickening swings and surging lifts and terrible,
    terrible falling, fallingOh God, don't let me die! I
    want to live"Scarlett!" The sound of her name was louder than the
    clacking of her teeth and it penetrated to her consciousness
    "Scarlett!" She knew that voice, it was Rhett's voiceAnd that was
    Rhett's arm around her, holding herBut where was he? She couldn't
    see anything through the water that kept hitting her face, glazing and
    stinging her eyesShe opened her mouth to answer and at once it
    was
    filled with waterScarlett craned her head up as hard as she could
    and blew the water from her mouthIf only her teeth would be still!

    “That number your friend Sykes got is a blind, but useful
    “As my brother-in-law would say, please speak English
    “It’s the number of a café on the Marais waterfront on the SeineThe routine is to ask for a

    “Goddamn you!”

    “Marie?”
    “She’s on her way homeShe’s mad as hell, but she’s also one relieved wife and mother
    “Why is she mad?”
    “I’ve booked her low-key on several long flights back—”
    “For Christ’s sake, why?” broke in the brother angrily“You send a goddamned plane for her!
    She’s been more valuable to you than anyone in your dumb Congress or your corkscrew
    administration, and you send planes for them all over the placeI’m not joking, Holland!”
    “I don’t send those planes,” replied the director firmlyThe ones I send involve too

    pleasant fellow, are you?”
    “My sister puts up with me, which more than offsets your opinionWhy is she relieved—as a
    wife and mother, I think you said?”

    incident took place, one none of us could predict or even contemplate
    “Oh, I hear those famous fucking words from the American establishment!” roared St
    “What did you miss this time? A truckload of Umissiles to the Ayatollah’s agents in Paris?
    What happened?”
    For a third time, Peter Holland employed a moment of silence, although his heavy breathing was
    audible“You know, young man, I could easily hang up the phone and dismiss your existence,
    which would be quite beneficial for my blood pressure
