A child had been slaughtered! Promises were implied, but death had been deliveredOh, Christ, what have I done? What can I do? Sweat pouring down his face, his eyes barely focusing, Bourne ripped the distress flare out of his pocket, snapped the lighter and, trembling, held it to the red tipIgnition was instant; the white fire spewed out in white heat, hissing like a hundred angry snakesJason threw it into the chapel Robert Ludlum ??

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 417 training grounds along the Volkhov were more expansive and more intricate than he had thought possibleBenjamin’s remark that it would “be easier to move a dozen cities” rather than drastically alter Novgorod was a simple statement of fact, not too much of an exaggerationScaled-down replicas of towns and cities, waterfronts and airports, military and scientific installations from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, north to the Baltic and up the Gulf of Bothnia, were represented within its boundaries, all in addition to the American acreageYet for all the massive detail, suggestion and miniaturization made it possible to place everything within barely thirty miles of riverfront wilderness, at a depth ranging from three to five miles “Egypt, Israel, Italy,” began Jason, circling the table, staring down at the maps“Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, the UK—” He rounded the corner as Benjamin interrupted, leaning wearily back in a chair: “Germany, the Netherlands, and the Scandinavian countriesAs I explained, most of the compounds include two separate and distinct countries, usually where there are common boundaries, cultural similarities or just to conserve spaceThere are basically nine major compounds, representing all the major nations—major to our interests—and therefore nine tunnels, approximately seven kilometers apart starting with the one here and heading north along the river “Then the first tunnel next to ours is the UK, right?” “Yes, followed by France, then Spain—which includes Portugal—then across the Mediterranean, beginning with Egypt along with Israel—” “It’s clear,” broke in Jason, sitting down at the end of the table, bringing his clasped hands together in thought“Did you get word up the line that they’re to admit anyone with those papers Carlos has, no matter what he looks like?” “No “What?” Bourne snapped his head toward the young trainer “I had Comrade Krupkin do thatHe’s in a Moscow hospital, so they can’t lock him up here for training fatigue “How can I cross over into another compound?

Tom understood his father’s thoughts, and @@@@@ Tom understood his father’s thoughts, and heartily wishing he might be always as well disposed to give them but partial expression, began to see, more clearly than he had ever done before, that there might be some ground of offence, that there might be some reason for the glance his father gave towards the ceiling and stucco of the room; and that when he inquired with mild gravity after the fate of the billiard-table, he was not proceeding beyond a very allowable curiosityA few minutes were enough for such unsatisfactory sensations on each side; and Sir Thomas having exerted himself so far as to speak a few words of calm approbation in reply to an eager appeal of MrYates, as to the happiness of the arrangement, the three gentlemen returned to the drawing-room together, Sir Thomas with an increase of gravity which was not lost on all “I come from your theatre,” said he composedly, as he sat down; “I found myself in it rather unexpectedlyIts vicinity to my own room—but in every respect, indeed, it took me by surprise, as I had not the smallest suspicion of your acting having assumed so serious a characterIt appears a neat job, however, as far as I could judge by candlelight, and does my friend Christopher Jackson credit And then he would have changed the subject, and sipped his coffee in peace over domestic matters of a calmer hue; but MrYates, without discernment to catch Sir Thomas’s meaning, or diffidence, or delicacy, or discretion enough to allow him to lead the discourse while he mingled among the others with the least obtrusiveness himself, would keep him on the topic of the theatre, would torment him 160 Mansfield Park with questions and remarks relative to it, and finally would make him hear the whole history of his disappointment at EcclesfordSir Thomas listened most politely, but found much to offend his ideas of decorum, and confirm his ill-opinion of MrYates’s habits of thinking, from the beginning to the end of the story; and when it was over, could give him no other assurance of sympathy than what a slight bow conveyed “This was, in fact, the origin of our acting,” said Tom, after a moment’s thought“My friend Yates brought the infection from Ecclesford, and it spread—as those things always spread, you know, sir—the faster, probably, from your having so often encouraged the sort of thing in us formerlyIt was like treading old ground againYates took the subject from his friend as soon as possible, and immediately gave Sir Thomas an account of what they had done and were doing: told him of the gradual increase of their views, the happy conclusion of their first difficulties, and present promising state of affairs; relating everything with so blind an interest as made him not only totally unconscious of the uneasy movements of many of his friends as they sat, the change of countenance, the fidget, the hem! of unquietness, but prevented him even from seeing the expression of the face on which his own eyes were fixed—from seeing Sir Thomas’s dark brow contract as he looked with inquiring earnestness at his daughters and Edmund, dwelling particularly on the latter, and speaking a language, a remonstrance, a reproof, which he felt at his heartNot less acutely was it felt by Fanny, who had edged back her chair behind her aunt’s end of the sofa, and, screened from notice herself, saw all that was passing before herSuch a look of reproach at Edmund from his father she could never have expected to witness; and to feel that it was in any degree deserved was an aggravation indeedSir Thomas’s look implied, “On your judgment, Edmund, I depended; what have you been about?” She knelt in spirit to her uncle, and her bosom swelled to utter, “Oh, not to him! Look so to all the others, but not to him!” MrYates was still talking“To own the truth, Sir Thomas, we were in the middle of a rehearsal when you arrived this eveningWe were going through the three first acts, and not unsuccessfully upon the wholeOur company is now so dispersed, from the Crawfords 161 Jane Austen being gone home, that nothing more can be done to-night; but if you will give us the honour of your company to-morrow evening, I should not be afraid of the resultWe bespeak your indulgence, you understand, as young performers; we bespeak your indulgence “My indulgence shall be given, sir,” replied Sir Thomas gravely, “but without any other rehearsal And with a relenting smile, he added, “I come home to be happy and indulgent Then turning away towards any or all of the rest, he tranquilly said, | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 3:05 am |
