12:26 pm	@@@@@Like the time of Jamie's visit, he looked @@@@@Like the time of Jamie's visit, he looked asleep How long had it been since I'd seen Jamie? And how was he now? My already sore heart gave a painful little lurch “Feel better?” Jeb asked, his eyes opening “It's going to be okay, you know He grinned a wide, face-stretching grin“That stuff I said to Jared… Well, I won't say Ilied, exactly, because it's all true if you look at it from a certain angle, but from another angle, it wasn't so much the truth as it was what he needed to hear I just stared; I didn't understand a word of what he was saying “Anyway, Jared needs a break from thisNot from you, kid,” he added quickly, “but from the situationHe'll gain some perspective while he's away I wondered how he seemed to know exactly which words and phrases would cut at meAnd, more than that, why should Jeb care if his words hurt me, or even if my back was aching and throbbing? His kindness toward me was frightening in its own way because it was incomprehensibleAt least Jared's actions made senseKyle's and Ian's murder attempts, the doctor's cheerful eagerness to hurt me–these behaviors also were logicalWhat did Jeb want from me? “Don't look so glum,” Jeb urged“There's a bright side to thisJared was being real pigheaded about you, and now that he's temporarily out of the picture, it's bound to make things more comfortable My eyebrows furrowed as I tried to decide what he meant “For example,” he went on“This space here we usually use for storageNow, when Jared and the guys get back, we're going to need someplace to put all the stuff they bring home with them So we might as well find a new place for you nowSomething a little bigger, maybe? Something with a bed?” He smiled again as he dangled the carrot in front of me I waited for him to snatch it away, to tell me he was joking Instead, his eyes–the color of faded blue jeans–became very, very gent (Comment on this)
10:42 am	@@@@@ 2 At 0400, a few minutes after @@@@@ 2 At 0400, a few minutes after the false dawn had lapsed, the naval bombardment of Anopopei beganAll the guns of the invasion fleet went off within two seconds of each other, and the night rocked and shuddered like a great log foundering in the surfThe ships snapped and rolled from the discharge, lashing the water furiouslyFor one instant the night was jagged and immense, demoniac in its convulsion Then, after the first salvos, the firing became irregular, and the storm almost subsided into darkness againThe great clanging noises of the guns became isolated once more, sounded like immense freight trains jerking and tugging up a gradeAnd afterward it was possible to hear the sighing wistful murmur of shells passing overheadOn Anopopei the few scattered campfires were snubbed out The first shells landed in the sea, throwing up remote playful spurts of water, but then a string of them snapped along the beach, and Anopopei came to life and glowed like an emberHere and there little fires started where the jungle met the beach, and occasionally a shell which carried too far would light up a few hundred feet of brushThe line of beach became defined and twinkled like a seaport seen from a great distance late at night An ammunition dump began to burn, spreading a rose-colored flush over a portion of the beachWhen several shells landed in its midst, the flames sprouted fantastically high, and soared away in angry brown clouds of smokeThe shells continued to raze the beach and then began to shift inlandThe firing had eased already into a steady, almost casual, patternA few ships at a time would discharge their volleys and then turn out to sea again while a new file attackedThe ammo dump still blazed, but most of the fires on the beach had smoldered down, and in the light which came with the first lifting of the dawn there was not nearly enough scud to hide the shoreAbout a mile inland, something had caught fire on the summit of a hill, and back of it, far away, Mount Anaka rose out of a base of maroon-colored smokeImplacably, despite the new purple robes at its feet, the mountain sat on the island, and gazed out to seaThe bombardment was insignificant before it In the troop holds the sounds were duller and more persistent; they grated and rumbled like a subway trainThe hold electric lights, a wan yellow, had been turned on after breakfast, and they flickered dully, throwing many shadows over the hatches and through the tiers of bunks, lighting up the faces of the men assembled in the aisles and clustered around the ladder leading up to the top deck Martinez listened to the noises anxiouslyHe would not have been surprised if the hatch on which he was sitting had slid away from under himHe blinked his bloodshot eyes against the weary glare of the bulbs, tried to numb himself to everyt (Comment on this)

12:26 pm	@@@@@ The shelling was still going on over the @@@@@ The shelling was still going on over the beach, and the island looked pale green in the dawnA thin wispy line of smoke trailed along the shore"What! Do ya think this is gonna be any different today? I figure we'll be on deck all morning But as he spoke, he noticed a group of landing craft circling about a mile from them in the water"The first wave's still farting around," he reassured HennesseyFor an instant he thought again of the Motome invasion, and felt a trace of that panic catching him againHis fingertips still remembered the texture of the sides of the rubber boat as he had clung to it in the waterAt the back of his throat he tasted salt water again, felt the dumb whimpering terror of ducking underwater when he was exhausted and the Jap guns would not stopHe looked out again, his shaggy face quite bleak for a moment In the distance the jungle near the beach had assumed the naked broken look which a shelling always gave itThe palm trees would be standing like pillars now, stripped of their leaves, and blackened if there had been a fireOff the horizon Mount Anaka was almost invisible in the haze, a pale gray-blue color almost a compromise between the hues of the water and the skyAs he watched, a big shell landed on the shore and threw up a larger puff of smoke than the two or three that had preceded itThis was going to be an easy landing, Red told himself, but he was still thinking about the rubber boats"I wish to hell they'd save some of that country for us," he said to Hennessey"We're gonna have to live there The morning had a raw expectant quality about it, and he drew a breath, and squatted on his heels Gallagher began to curse"How fuggin long we got to wait up here?" "Hold your water," Croft told him"Half the commo platoon is coming with us, and they ain't even up yet "Well, why ain't they?" Gallagher askedHe pushed his helmet farther back on his head"It's just like the bastards to have us wait up on deck where we can have our fuggin heads blown off "You hear any Jap artillery?"

12:34 pm	@@@@@Every afternoon brought a return of their @@@@@Every afternoon brought a return of their riotous games all over the house; and she very early learned to sigh at the approach of Saturday’s constant half-holiday 341 Jane Austen Betsey, too, a spoiled child, trained up to think the alphabet her greatest enemy, left to be with the servants at her pleasure, and then encouraged to report any evil of them, she was almost as ready to despair of being able to love or assist; and of Susan’s temper she had many doubtsHer continual disagreements with her mother, her rash squabbles with Tom and Charles, and petulance with Betsey, were at least so distressing to Fanny that, though admitting they were by no means without provocation, she feared the disposition that could push them to such length must be far from amiable, and from affording any repose to herself Such was the home which was to put Mansfield out of her head, and teach her to think of her cousin Edmund with moderated feelings On the contrary, she could think of nothing but Mansfield, its beloved inmates, its happy waysEverything where she now was in full contrast to itThe elegance, propriety, regularity, harmony, and perhaps, above all, the peace and tranquillity of Mansfield, were brought to her remembrance every hour of the day, by the prevalence of everything opposite to them here The living in incessant noise was, to a frame and temper delicate and nervous like Fanny’s, an evil which no superadded elegance or harmony could have entirely atoned forIt was the greatest misery of allAt Mansfield, no sounds of contention, no raised voice, no abrupt bursts, no tread of violence, was ever heard; all proceeded in a regular course of cheerful orderliness; everybody had their due importance; everybody’s feelings were consultedIf tenderness could be ever supposed wanting, good sense and good breeding supplied its place; and as to the little irritations sometimes introduced by aunt Norris, they were short, they were trifling, they were as a drop of water to the ocean, compared with the ceaseless tumult of her present abodeHere everybody was noisy, every voice was loud (excepting, perhaps, her mother’s, which resembled the soft monotony of Lady Bertram’s, only worn into fretfulness)Whatever was wanted was hallooed for, and the servants hallooed out their excuses from the kitchenThe doors were in constant banging, the stairs were never at rest, nothing was done without a clatter, nobody sat still, and nobody could command attention when they spoke In a review of the two houses, as they appeared to her before the 342 Mansfield Park end of a week, Fanny was tempted to apply to them DrJohnson’s celebrated judgment as to matrimony and celibacy, and say, that though Mansfield Park might have some pains, Portsmouth could have no pleasures 343 Jane Austen CHAPTER XL FANNY WAS RIGHT enough in not expecting to hear from Miss Crawford now at the rapid rate in which their correspondence had begun; Mary’s next letter was after a decidedly longer interval than the last, but she was not right in supposing that such an interval would be felt a great relief to herselfHere was another strange revolution of mind! She was really glad to receive the letter when it did comeIn her present exile from good society, and distance from everything that had been wont to interest her, a letter from one belonging to the set where her heart lived, written with affection, and some degree of elegance, was thoroughly acceptableThe usual plea of increasing engagements was made in excuse for not having written to her earlier; “And now that I have begun,” she continued, “my letter will not be worth your reading, for there will be no little offering of love at the end, no three or four lines passionnees from the most devoted Hin the world, for Henry is in Norfolk; business called him to Everingham ten days ago, or perhaps he only pretended to call, for the sake of being travelling at the same time that you wereBut there he is, and, by the bye, his absence may sufficiently account for any remissness of his sister’s in writing, for there has been no ‘Well, Mary, when do you write to Fanny? Is not it time for you to write to Fanny?’ to spur me onAt last, after various attempts at meeting, I have seen your cousins, ‘dear Julia and dearest MrsRushworth’; they found me at home yesterday, and we were glad to see each other againWe seemed very glad to see each other, and I do really think we were a litt (Comment on this)
