    The unexpected rarely disturbed Bourne; it did nowHad Fontaine made a mistake? Had the old
    man forgotten about the inn’s guard and erroneously presumed he was the Jackal’s contact? In his
    aged eyes had an understandably surprised reaction on the guard’s part been misinterpreted as an
    approach? Anything was possible, but considering the Frenchman’s background—the life of a
    survivor—and the state of his alert mind, such a mistake was not realistic
    Then the possibility of another reality came into focus and it was sickeningHad the guard been
    killed or bribed, replaced by another? Carlos was a master of the turn-aroundIt was said he had
    fulfilled a contract on the assassination of Anwar Sadat without firing a weapon, by merely
    replacing the Egyptian president’s security detail with inexperienced recruits—money dispersed in
    Cairo returned a hundredfold by the anti-Israel brotherhoods in the Middle EastIf it were true, the
    exercise on Tranquility Isle was child’s play
    Jason rose to his feet, gripped the top of the coastal wall, and slowly, painfully, his neck causing
    agony, pulled himself up over the ledge, again slowly, inch by inch, sending one arm after the other
    across the surface to grab the opposing edge for supportWhat he saw stunned him!
    Fontaine was immobile, his mouth gaped in shock, his wide eyes disbelieving, as another old
    man in a tan gabardine suit approached him and threw his arms around the aged hero of France
    Fontaine pushed the man away in panic and bewildermentThe words erupted out of the radio in
    Bourne’s pocket“Claude! Quelle secousse! Vous êtes ici!”
    The ancient friend replied in a tremulous voice, speaking French“It is a privilege our
    monseigneur permitted meTo see for a final time my sister, and to give comfort to my friend, her
    husbandI am here and I am with you!”
    “With me? He brought you here? But, of course, he did!”
    “I am to take you to himThe great man wishes to speak with you
    “Do you know what you’re doing—what you’ve done?”
    “I am with you, with herWhat else matters?”

    floodlit corridor of colored lightsHe was young, muscular and blond, with blunt features and rigid
    postureWas the Jackal training someone else to take his place?
    “Come with me, please,” said the blond man, his French gentle but icily commanding“You,”
    he added, addressing the old man in the tan gabardine suitAt the slightest

    That idea helped me get myself under control again
    "I'm sorry, too," I said, "but I'm getting alongNow drink your damn beer before it goes

    @@@@@it's a passion for movement, it's to trick us into staying at home and being exploited
    They're gonna move us out, men
    I'm movin' anyway, Red says

    Somehow it seems as if you never do go under, there is always the providential handout, or the pair of shoes you can buy after the ones you own flap in the windSomehow, there is always a little job, or some meal to keep you going, or there's a new town to go to, there is even the good feeling once every month or two when you catch a freight at dawn, and the land rises out of the night and you're not too hungry
    If you throw a handful of straw into a river, some of it stays afloat even in a rapids, there is always something to give you a boostYou keep going and the summer ends, the nights get chill (half a buck in your pocket and winter acoming) but there's always a railroad track heading south, there is usually a jail where they'll let you sleep the night
    And if you get through it there's Relief after a while, and even a couple of jobsDishwasher, short-order cook, a shingler, a farm hand, a house painter, a plumber, even a gasoline pump
    In 'thirty-five he works in a restaurant for almost a year, the best dishwasher they ever had(The rush hour lasts from twelve to three at that end of the kitchenThe dishes come clanking down the dumbwaiter, and the tray man mops the food and grease with his hand, fingers the lipstick on the glasses to loosen it, and drops them in a rackIn the machine, the steam vibrates and sings, whips out at the other end, where the finish man pulls out the tray with tongs, and wiggles the plates with his fingertips as he flips them on a pileYou don't grab it with your bare hand, Jack
    After work Red goes back to his furnished room (two-fifty a week, the carpeting on the stairs has thickened with age and springs underfoot like soft dusty turf) and lies down on his bedIf he's not too pooped, he gets up after a while, and drifts down to the bar around the corner(The gray cracked asphalt, the garbage cans spilling over in the areaways, the stippled light of the neon sign, two letters are missing
    A man always has philosophyI'll tell ya, Red, I used to think for a time I made a mistake gettin' marriedI used to get mad, you know, I'd start wondering what am I workin' for, but, aah, you get over itYou take those two kids over there feeling each other in that boothRight now one of them can't even breathe without the other -- my old lady used to be like that with meI don't get mad, I know what the score is, those kids are gonna end up like you, like me, like everybody

    He was ready, thought Bourne, studying himself in the mirror, satisfied with what he sawHe
    had spent the last three hours getting ready for his drive to Argenteuil, to a restaurant named Le
    Coeur du Soldat, the message center for a “blackbird,” for Carlos the JackalThe Chameleon had
    dressed for the environment he was about to enter; the clothes were simple, the body and the face
    less soThe first required a trip to the secondhand stores and pawn shops in Montmartre, where he
    found faded trousers and a surplus French army shirt, and an equally faded small combat ribbon
    that denoted a wounded veteranThe second, somewhat more complex, demanded hair coloring, a
    day’s growth of beard, and another constricting bandage, this bound around his right knee so tight
    he could not forget the limp he had quickly perfectedHis hair and eyebrows were now a dull red—
    dirty, unkempt red, which fit his new surroundings, a cheap hotel in Montparnasse whose front
    desk wanted as little contact as possible with its clientele
    His neck was more an irritant now than an impediment; either he was adjusting to the stiff,
    restricted movement or the healing process was doing its mysterious workAnd that re stricted
    movement was not a liability where his current appearance was concerned; in truth, it was an asset
    An embittered wounded veteran, a discarded son of France, would be hard pressed to forget his
    dual immobilityJason shoved Bernardine’s automatic into his trousers pocket, checked his money,
    his car keys, and his scabbarded hunting knife, the latter purchased at a sporting goods store and
    strapped inside his shirt, and limped to the door of the small, filthy, depressing roomNext stop, the
    Capucines and a nondescript Peugeot in an underground garageHe was ready,
    Out on the street, he knew he had to walk a number of blocks before he found a taxi station; cabs
    were not the fashion in this section of MontparnasseNeither was the commotion around a
    newspaper kiosk at the second cornerPeople were shouting, many waving their arms, clutching
    papers in their fists, anger and consternation in their voicesInstinctively, he quickened his pace,

    Nannuzzi wanted to photograph my paintings and
    make slides for a lecture at the Selby Library in
    Sarasota in mid-March, a month before my show
    507
    openedThe lecture, Wireman said, would be
    attended by sixty or seventy art patrons from the
    Tampa-Sarasota areaI told him fine and signed
    the contract
    Dario came out that afternoonI was impatient for
    him to click his pix and be gone so I could go
    back to workMostly to make conversation, I asked
    him who would be giving the lecture at the Selby
    Library
    Dario looked at me with one eyebrow cocked, as if
    I had made a joke"The one person in the world
    who is now conversant with your work," he said"I can't give a lecture! I don't
    know anything about art!"
    He swept his arm at the paintings, which Jack and
    two part-timers from the Scoto were going to crate
    and transport to Sarasota the following weekThey
    would remain crated, I assumed, in the storage
    area at the back of the gallery, until just before
    the show opened"These say different, my friend
    "Dario, these people know stuff! They've taken
    courses! I'll bet most of them were art majors,
    508
    for Christ's sake! What do you want me to do,
    stand up there and say duh?"
    "That's pretty much what Jackson Pollock did when
    he talked about his workAnd
    it made him rich Dario came over to me and took
    me by the stumpVery few
    people will touch the stump of a limb; it's as if
    they believe, down deep, that amputation might be
    catching"Listen, my friend, these are important
    peopleNot just because they have money, but
    because they're interested in new artists and each
    one knows three more who feel the sameAfter the
    lecture - your lecture - the talk will startThe
    kind of talk that almost always turns into that
    magical thing called 'buzz'"
    He paused, twiddling the strap of his camera and
    smiling a little
    "All you have to do is talk about how you began,
    and how you grew-"
    "Dario, I don't know how I grew!"
    "Then say thatSay anything! You're an artist,
    for God's sake!"
    I left it at thatThe threatened lecture still
    seemed distant to me, and I wanted him out of

    I have found that many people use arrogance to try to hide their own ignoranceIt often happens when I am discussing financial statements with accountants or even other investors
    They try to bluster their way through the discussionIt is clear to me that they don't know what they're talking aboutThey're not lying, but they are not telling the truth
    There are many people in the world of money, finances and investments who have absolutely no idea what they're talking aboutMost people in the money industry are just spouting off sales pitches like used-car salesmen
    When you know you are ignorant in a subject, start educating yourself by finding an expert in the field or find a book on the subject

    CHAPTER NINE
    Getting Started

    I wish I could say acquiring wealth was easy for me, but it wasn't
    So in response to the question "How do I start?" I offer the thought process I go through on a day-by-day basisIt really is easy to find great dealsIt's just like riding a bikeAfter a little wobbling, it's a piece of cakeBut when it comes to money, it's the determination to get through the wobbling that's a personal thing
    To find million-dollar "deals of a lifetime" requires us to call on our financial geniusI believe that each of us has a financial genius within usThe problem is, our financial genius lies asleep, waiting to be called uponIt lies asleep because our culture has educated us into believing that the love of money is the root of all evilIt has encouraged us to learn a profession so we can work for money, but failed to teach us how to have money work for usIt taught us not to worry about our financial future, our company or the government would take care of us when our working days are ove

    His wide back bent over the cradle, his deep voice making silly
    baby-talk sounds-never in all the world was there a man so besotted
    with a babyHe was going to be so happy when she told himShe
    could
    see his dark eyes flashing with the joy of it, his white smile gleaming
    in hispirate's faceScarlett smiled, too, thinking of itI'm happy,
    too, she thoughtThis is the way it's supposed to be when you have a
    baby, Melly always said so"Oh, my God," she whispered aloud
    Melly
    died trying to have one, and my insides are all messed up, DrMeade
    said, after I had the miscarriageThat's why I didn't know I was
    pregnant, I didn't even notice I missed my time of month, because it's
    been so undependable for so long
    Suppose having this baby kills me? Oh, God, please, please, God,
    don't
    let me die just when I finally get what I need to be happy
    She crossed herself again and again in confused entreaty, propitiation,
    superstitionThen she shook her head angrilyWhat was she doing?
    Just being sillyShe was strong and healthyNot like Melly at
    all
    Why, Mammy always said it was downright shameful the way she
    dropped a
    baby with hardly more fuss than an alley cat
    She was going to do just fine, and her baby would be fine, tooAnd
    her life would be fine, with Rhett loving her, loving their baby
    They'd be the happiest, lovingest family in the whole world
    Gracious, she hadn't even thought of Miss EleanorTalk about
    baby-loving! Miss Eleanor was going to pop her buttons with pride
    I can see her now, at the Market, telling everybody, even the bent-up

    catalystsHe ran through the crowd, pummeling everyone in front of him, shoving the blinding,
    spitting flare into terrified faces, until he reached the front and faced a cordon of guards in the
    uniforms of the United States ArmyIt was crazy, insane! The world had gone nuts!
    No! There! In the fenced-off parking lot was the fuel truck! He broke through the cordon of
    guards, holding up his computerized release card, and ran up to the soldier with the highest-ranking
    insignia on his uniform, a colonel with an AK-47 strapped to his waist who was as panicked as any
    officer of high rank he had ever seen since Saigon
    “My identification is with the name ‘Archie’ and you can clear it immediatelyEven now I
    refuse to speak our language, only English! Is that understood? Discipline is discipline!”
    “Togda?” yelled the officer, questioning the moment, then instantly returning to English in a
    maddeningly Boston accent“Of course, we know of you,” he cried, “but what can I do? This is an
    uncontrollable riot!”
    “Has anyone passed through the tunnel in the last, say, half hour?”
    “No one, absolutely, no one! Our orders are to keep the tunnel closed at all costs!”

    “Where did you come from?”
    “Where you know; how is another questionTry scaring the shit out of Capital HQ for a chopper

    “ ‘Apoplectic’—not bad for a Russian—”
    “Who gives me such orders?” yelled the officer of the guard“You are only a young man!”
    “Check me out, buddy, but do it quick,” answered Benjamin, holding out his card“Otherwise I

    “That tank’s got to hold close to a hundred thousand poundsCombined with the plastics,
    strategically placed, it’s enough for the streets and those fake structures of old, dried wood
    “Slushaytye!” blared the myriad loudspeakers around the tunnel, demanding attention, as indeed
    the explosions began to diminishThe colonel climbed on top of the low, concrete gate house, a
    microphone in his hand, his figure outlined in the harsh beams of powerful searchlights“The

    It's all she has time for, all she dares when she

    Instead of following Adie to the kitchen, Melda
    runs down the front hall to the Mister's study,
    where, for the first time in the seven years she's
    worked for the family, she enters without knocking
    The Mister is sitting behind his desk with his Jimmy choo tie
    off and his collar undone and his braces hanging

    He looks up at her, his eyes red in a face that is

    She says You got to come right away
    He looks at her from his streaming prada logo eyes with a
    calm and infuriating stupidityCome where?

    heavyShe knows; hasn't she carried them in the

    He says What are you talking about?
    She says I cain't be takin time to explainYou
    got to come to the beach right now, less you want
    to lose another oneHe doesn't ask which daughter, or chanel handbags sale inquire
    again why he should want the harpoon pistol; he
    just snatches it off the wall, takes two of the
    harpoons in his other hand, and strides out
    through the open study door, first beside Melda
    and then ahead of herBy the time he reaches the
    kitchen, where Melda has last seen Adie, he's at a
    full-out run and she is falling behind even though
    she's running herself, holding her skirts before

    happiness offered, and ascertaining with half a look, and half a sentence,
    that she had no objection but on her aunt’s account, could
    not imagine that his mother would make any difficulty of sparing
    her, and therefore gave his decided open advice that the invitation
    should be accepted; and though Fanny would not venture, even on
    his encouragement, to such a flight of audacious independence, it
    was soon settled, that if nothing were heard to the contrary, Mrs

    were a cheerful and warmhearted trio who genuinely liked Scarlett
    They made the trip fun for her, and she was sorry when they left the
    ship at LiverpoolNow she had almost two full days before she got to
    Galway, and she wouldn't be able to delay any longer thinking about
    the
    meeting with Rhett in Charleston, that was really no meeting at all
    Had he felt the same shock of recognition she had when their eyes
    met?
    It was, for her, as if the rest of the world disappeared and they were
    alone in some place and time separate from everything and everyone
    that
    existed
    It wasn't possible that she could feel so bound to him by a look and
    that he would not feel the same wayWas it? She worried and relived
    the moment until she began to think she'd dreamed it or even
    imagined
