10:29 pm	@@@@@ The idea wasn't clearWhat was clear was @@@@@ The idea wasn't clearWhat was clear was the sound of the shellsYou could hear that sound from anywhere inside Big Pink, but to get the full effect, you really had to come up on the place from outsideThat was when they sounded the most like voicesSo many nights I had wasted painting when I could have been listening Tonight I would listen Outside the pillars, Wireman paused"Abyssus abyssum invocat," he said "Hell invokes Hell," Jack said, and sighed Wireman looked at me"Think we'll have any trouble negotiating the road home?" "Now? No "And are we done here?" "We are "Will we ever come again?" "No," I saidI looked at the ruined house, dreaming in the moonlightI realized we'd left little Libbit's heart-shaped 1091 box behind, but maybe that was for the best"No one will come here anymore Jack looked at me, curious and a little afraid "How can you know that?" "I know," I said 21 - The Shells by Moonlight i We had no trouble negotiating the road homeThe smell was still there, but it was better now - partly because a good wind was getting up, blowing in off the Gulf, and partly because it was just The courtyard lights of El Palacio were on a timer, and they looked wonderful, twinkling out of the darkInside the house, Wireman went methodically from room to room, turning on more lightsTurning on all the lights, until the house where Elizabeth had spent most of her life glowed like an oceanliner coming into port at midnight When El Palacio was lit to the max, we took turns in the shower, passing the water-filled flashlight from hand to hand like a baton as we did so 1092 Someone was always holding it (Comment on this)

I do not know when I shall have done scolding you,” and had discretion enough to reserve the rest till they might be secure of having four walls to themselvesFanny naturally turned upstairs, and took her guest to the apartment which was now always fit for comfortable use; opening the door, however, with a most aching cartier womens heart, and feeling that she had a more distressing scene before her than ever that spot had yet witnessedBut the evil ready to burst on her was at least delayed by the sudden change in Miss Crawford’s ideas; by the strong effect on her mind which the finding herself in the East room again produced “Ha!” she cried, with instant animation, “am I here again? The East room! Once only was I in this room before”; and after stopping to look about her, and seemingly to retrace all that had then passed, she added, “Once chanel fake only beforeDo you remember it? I came to rehearse Your cousin came too; and we had a rehearsalYou were our audience and prompterA delightful rehearsalI shall never forget itHere we were, just in this part of the room: here was your cousin, 311 Jane Austen here was I, here were the chairsOh! why will such things ever pass away?” Happily for her companion, she wanted no answerHer mind was entirely self-engrossedShe was in a reverie of sweet remembrances “The scene we were rehearsing was so very remarkable!

He was to be describing and recommending matrimony to meI think I see him now, trying to be as demure and composed as Anhalt ought, through the two long speeches‘When two sympathetic hearts meet in the marriage state, matrimony may be called a happy life I suppose no time can ever wear out the impression I have of his looks and voice as he said those wordsIt was curious, very curious, that we should have such a scene to play!

10:16 pm	@@@@@The months and years ahead were very @@@@@The months and years ahead were very palpable to themThey were still on the treadmill; the misery, the ennui, the dislocated horrorThings would happen and time would pass, but there was no hope, no anticipationThere would be nothing but the deep cloudy dejection that overcast everything Minetta lay on his bunk, his eyes closed, and dawdled through the afternoonThere was one fantasy he kept indulging, a very simple one, a very pleasing oneMinetta was dreaming about blowing off his footOne of these days while cleaning his gun he could point the muzzle right into the middle of his ankle, and press the triggerAll the bones would be mashed in his foot, and whether they had to amputate or not, they certainly would have to send him home Minetta tried to add up all the anglesHe wouldn't be able to run again, but then who the hell wanted to run anyway? And as for dancing, the way they had these artificial limbs he could put on a wooden foot, and still hold his ownOh, this was okay, this could work For a moment he was uneasyDid it make any difference which foot it was?
