9:42 pm	@@@@@Slowly, inevitably, the beach began to @@@@@Slowly, inevitably, the beach began to dissolve in the encompassing nightThe golden sands grew faint, became gray-green, and darkenedThe island sank into the water, and the tide of night washed over the rose and lavender hillsAfter a little while, there was only the gray-black ocean, the darkened sky, and the evil churning of the gray-white wakeBits of phosphorescence swirled in the foamThe black dead ocean looked like a mirror of the night; it was cold, implicit with dread and deathThe men felt it absorb them in a silent pervasive terrorThey turned back to their cots, settled down for the night, and shuddered for a long while in their blanketsThe boat churned and pushed through the darkness, wallowing only a hundred yards offshoreOver them all hung the quick fearful anticipation of the patrol aheadThe water washed mournfully against the sides of the boat 2 THE PLATOON landed early the next morning on the back shore of AnopopeiThe rain had halted during the night, and in the dawn the air was fresh and cool, the sunlight pleasant on the beachThe men lolled about on the sand for a few minutes, watching the assault craft back off from shore and start on its return journeyIn five minutes the boat was a half mile away, but it seemed like much less, an easy swim across the bright glittering tropic waterThe men stared at it wistfully, envying the pilots who by nightfall would return to a safe bivouac and hot foodThat's the job to have, Minetta was thinking The morning still possessed the new shining quality of a minted coinThe men were thrilled only slightly by the idea that they were on an unexplored shoreThe jungle behind them looked essentially familiar; the beach, covered with fine delicate shells, was barren and isolated and would shimmer later in the heat, but now it seemed like every beach upon which they had ever landedThey sprawled about, smoking and laughing, waiting for the patrol to begin, perfectly content for the sun to dry their clothes Hearn was feeling a little tenseIn a few minutes they would begin a march over forty miles of strange country, the last ten through the Japanese rearHe turned to Croft and pointed again at the aerial map they had spread out between them on the sand"It seems to me, Sergeant, the best way is to work up that river" -- he pointed to the mouth of a stream which debouched from the jungle a few hundred yards farther down the beach -- "as far as we can, and then cut trail till we reach the kunai g (Comment on this)

She was brave enough to face a rat running across her foot, but she wasn't willing to ruin her reputation for all time by walking alone on the streetLadies just didn't do thatTo Scarlett's relief they walked along the street behind her grandfather's house, not by the square in front of it where her aunts liked to promenade under the trees for their "constitutionals Pansy went willingly through the gate into the garden, already yawning anticipation of going back to sleep Scarlett tried not to look anxiousn She'd heard Jerome complaining to her aunts about the deterioration of the neighborhoodOnly a few blocks to the east the fine old homes had degenerated into ramshackle boardinghouses for the sailors who manned the ships in and out of Savannah's busy portAnd for the waves of immigrants who arrived on some of the shipsMost of them, according to the snobbish, elegant old black man, were unwashed IrishJames escorted her straight ahead, and she sighed silently with 345 reliefThen, very soon, he turned onto the handsome, well-kept avenue called South Broad and announced, "Here we are," in front of a tall, substantial brick house"How nice!" Scarlett said, with all her heartIt was almost the last thing she got to say for some timeInstead of climbing the stairs to the big door on the high stoop, Jamie opened a smaller door at street level and ushered her into the kitchen and an overwhelming onslaught of people, all of them redheaded and all of them noisily welcoming when he shouted out above the hubbub of greetings, "This is Scarlett, my uncle Gerald O'Hara's beautiful daughter come all the way from Atlanta to see Uncle James There are so many of them, Scarlett thought when they rushed toward herJamie's laughter when the youngest girl and a little boy grabbed him around the knees made it impossible to understand what he was sayingThen a large stout woman, with hair redder than any of them, held out a roughened hand to Scarlett "Welcome to the house," she said placidl (Comment on this)

"It's an old one," I said 644 I hung up and stood where I was, watching the long light of evening fire up a Gulf sunset I had no urge to paintThey were the same words she'd used with Gene HadlockAnd I had no doubt that if I asked others, I'd hear the same anecdote once or twice or a dozen times: She said I can't even draw stick figures, she said if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporterAnd why? Because an honest woman may occasionally goof the truth, but a good liar never varies her story I hadn't asked him about the red picnic basket, but I told myself that was all right; if it was in the attic of El Palacio, it would still be there the next day, and the day after thatI told myself there was timeOf course, that's what we always tell ourselves, isn't it?

9:44 pm	@@@@@In the night it was an extremely difficult @@@@@In the night it was an extremely difficult business at best and took a long timeThe men would go sliding down the bank trying to restrain their field piece from turning over at the bottom, and then they would have to lift it over the slippery rocks of the brook before attempting to wrestle it up the other sideThe banks were slimy, and there was no foothold; time and again a team would force their gun up almost to the top of the draw only to slip back again futilely By the time Wyman and Toglio and Goldstein had to move their gun, a half hour had passed and they were a little restedTheir wind had returned and they kept shouting instructions to each other as they nosed the gun over the edge of the bankIt began to pull away from them, and they had to resist desperately to keep it from crashing to the bottomThe exertion drained most of the strength they had recovered, and after they had carried the piece across the stream, they were as exhausted as they had been at any time during the march They stopped for a few moments to gather whatever force was left in them and began the struggle up the bankToglio was wheezing like a bull, and his commands had a hoarse urgent sound as if he were wrenching them from deep inside his bodyPUSH," he growled, and the three of them strove numbly to roll the gunIt resisted them, moved sluggishly and treacherously, and the strength began to flow out of their trembling legs"HOLD IT!" Toglio shouted "DON'T LET IT SLIP!" They braced themselves behind the gun, trying to wedge their feet into the wet clay of the bank"PUSH AGAIN!" he shouted, and they forced it upward a few more feetWyman felt a band was stretching dangerously inside his body, and would snap at any momentThey rested again, and then shoved the gun another few yardsSlowly, minute by minute, they came closer to the topThey were perhaps four feet from the crest when Wyman lost the last reserves of his strengthHe tried to draw some few shreds of effort from his quivering limbs, but he seemed to collapse all at once, and just lay stupid behind the gun supporting it with no more than the weight of his sagging bodyThe gun began to slip, and he pulled awayToglio and Goldstein were left at each of the hubsWhen Wyman let go, they felt as though someone were pushing down against the gunGoldstein held on until the sliding wheels pulled his fingers loose, one by one, and then he just had time to shout hoarsely, "WATCH IT!" to Toglio, before the gun went crashing down to the bottomThe three men fell after it, rolling in its wakeThe gun struck some rocks at the bottom, and one of the wheels was knocked completely awryThey felt for it in the darkness like pups licking the wounds of their mo (Comment on this)
