I’ll give you proofI have the eyes and the ears of the leaders of the KGB—namely, the great General Grigorie Rodchenko himselfHe is my eyes and my ears, and if you care to know a harsher truth, he is beholden to me! For I am his monseigneur from Paris as well There was a rustling among the captive audience, a collective hesitancy, a wave of quiet throat clearingThe television newscaster spoke again, now softly, her wide brown eyes riveted on the man in priest’s clothes Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 384 “You may be whatever you say you are, sir,” she began, “but you do not listen to Radio Moscow’s all-night stationIt was reported over an hour ago that General Rodchenko was shot to death this morning by foreign criminalsIt was also reported that all high officers of the Komitet have been called into an emergency session to evaluate the circumstances of the general’s murder The speculation is that there had to be extraordinary reasons for a man of General Rodchenko’s experience to be lured into a trap by these foreign criminals “They will tear apart his files,” added the cautious bureaucrat, stiffly getting to his feet“They will put everything under a KGB microscope, searching for those “extraordinary reasons ” The circumspect public official looked at the killer in priest’s clothes“Perhaps they will find you, sir “No,” said the Jackal, perspiration breaking out on his high forehead“No! That is impossibleI have the only copies of these dossiers—there are no others!” “If you believe that, priest,” said the obese man from the Ministry of Military Supply, “you do not know the Komitet “Know it?” cried Carlos, a tremor developing in his left hand“I have its soul! No secrets are kept from me, for I am the repository of all secrets! I have volumes on governments everywhere, on their leaders, their generals, their highest officials—I have sources all over the world!” “You don’t have Rodchenko anymore,” continued the black-suited man from Military Supply, he, too, getting out of his chair“And come to think of it, you weren’t even surprised “What?” “For most of us, perhaps all of us, the first thing we do upon rising in the morning is to turn on our radiosIt’s always the same foolishness and I suppose there’s comfort in that, but I’d guess most of us knew about Rodchenko’s deathBut you didn’t, priest, and when our television lady told you, you weren’t astonished, you weren’t shocked—as I say, you weren’t even surprised “Certainly I was!” shouted the Jackal“What you don’t understand is that I have extraordinary contro | | Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010 | | 3:08 am |
@@@@@I pulled my
chair around the table and sat @@@@@I pulled my chair around the table and sat next to Wireman, where I could read the headline: DUMA KEY TOT BLOSSOMS FOLLOWING SPILL - IS SHE A CHILD PRODIGY? Beneath was a photographIn it was a man I knew well in a bathing suit I knew well: John Eastlake 745 in his slimmer, trimmer incarnationHe was smiling, and holding up a smiling little girlIt was Elizabeth, looking the same age as in the family portrait of Daddy and His Girls, only now she was holding out a drawing to the camera in both hands and wearing a gauze bandage wrapped around her headThere was another, much older girl in the picture - big sister Adriana, and yes, she could have been a carrot-top - but to begin with, Wireman and I paid little attention to herOr even to the toddler with the bandage around her head "Holy wow," Wireman said The picture was of a horse looking over a fence railIt wore an unlikely (and un-equine) smile In the foreground, back-to, was a little girl with lots of golden ringlets, holding out a carrot the size of a shotgun for the smiling horse to eatTo either side, bracketing the picture almost like theater curtains, were palm treesAbove were puffy white clouds and a great big sun, shooting off happy-rays of light It was a child's picture, but the talent that had created it was beyond doubtThe horse had a joie 746 de vivre that made the smile the punchline of a cheerful jokeYou could put a dozen art students in a room, tell them to execute a happy horse, and I was willing to bet not one of them would be able to match the success of that pictureEven the oversized carrot felt not like a mistake but part of the giggle, an intensifier, an artistic steroid "It's not a joke," I muttered, bending closer only bending closer did no goodI was seeing this picture through four aggravating levels of obfuscation: the photograph, the newspaper reproduction of the photograph, the Xerox of the newspaper reproduction of the photographOver eighty years of it, if I had the math right "What's not a joke?" Wireman asked "The way the size of the horse is exaggeratedIt's a child's cry of glee, Wireman!" "A hoax is what it isShe would have been two! A child of two can't even make stickfigures and call em mommy and daddy, can she?" 747 "Was what happened to Candy Brown a hoax? Or what about the bullet that used to be in your brain?

@@@@@and Miss Crawford’s having applied to her @@@@@and Miss Crawford’s having applied to her uncle and obtained his permission was giving her easeThis was the letter— “A most scandalous, ill-natured rumour has just reached me, and I write, dear Fanny, to warn you against giving the least credit to it, should it spread into the countryDepend upon it, there is some mistake, and that a day or two will clear it up; at any rate, that Henry is blameless, and in spite of a moment’s etourderie, thinks of nobody but youSay not a word of it; hear nothing, surmise nothing, whisper nothing till I write againI am sure it will be all hushed up, and nothing proved but Rushworth’s follyIf they are gone, I would lay my life they are only gone to Mansfield Park, and Julia with themBut why would not you let us come for you? I wish you may not repent itAs no scandalous, ill-natured rumour had reached her, it was impossible for her to understand much of this strange letterShe could only perceive that it must relate to Wimpole 384 Mansfield Park Street and MrCrawford, and only conjecture that something very imprudent had just occurred in that quarter to draw the notice of the world, and to excite her jealousy, in Miss Crawford’s apprehension, if she heard itMiss Crawford need not be alarmed for herShe was only sorry for the parties concerned and for Mansfield, if the report should spread so far; but she hoped it might notIf the Rushworths were gone themselves to Mansfield, as was to be inferred from what Miss Crawford said, it was not likely that anything unpleasant should have preceded them, or at least should make any impressionCrawford, she hoped it might give him a knowledge of his own disposition, convince him that he was not capable of being steadily attached to any one woman in the world, and shame him from persisting any longer in addressing herself It was very strange! She had begun to think he really loved her, and to fancy his affection for her something more than common; and his sister still said that he cared for nobody elseYet there must have been some marked display of attentions to her cousin, there must have been some strong indiscretion, since her correspondent was not of a sort to regard a slight one Very uncomfortable she was, and must continue, till she heard from Miss Crawford againIt was impossible to banish the letter from her thoughts, and she could not relieve herself by speaking of it to any human beingMiss Crawford need not have urged secrecy with so much warmth; she might have trusted to her sense of what was due to her cousin The next day came and brought no second letterFanny was disappointed She could still think of little else all the morning; but, when her father came back in the afternoon with the daily newspaper as usual, she was so far from expecting any elucidation through such a channel that the subject was for a moment out of her head She was deep in other musingThe remembrance of her first evening in that room, of her father and his newspaper, came across herNo candle was now wan | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 3:15 am |

A second @@@@@Then, abruptly, it was macabre A second three-wheeled cart swung out from the shadows behind the cabin—and it was a cabin with split logs on the exterior—and came to a stop only feet from the first vehicle on the graveled roadBoth drivers’ heads swung militarily toward the small house as if they were robots in a public gallery, and then the words shot out from an unseen speaker “Secure the gates,” said the amplified voice, a voice in command“Release the dogs and resume your rounds As if choreographed, the vehicles swung in unison, each in the opposite direction, the drivers gunning their engines as one, the strange-looking carts racing forward into the shadowsAt the mention of dogs Bourne had automatically reached into his back pocket and removed the CO2 gun; he then crawled laterally, rapidly, through the underbrush to within feet of the extended fenceIf the dogs were in a pack, he would have no choice but to scramble up the links and spring over the Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 93 coiled barbed wire to the other sideHis dual-chambered dart pistol could eliminate two animals, not more; there would be no time to reloadHe crouched, waiting, ready to leap up on the fence, the sightlines beneath the lower branches relatively clear Suddenly a black Doberman raced by on the graveled road, no hesitation in his pace, no scent picked up, the animal’s only objective apparently to reach a given placeThen another dog appeared, this a long-haired shepherdIt slowed down, awkwardly yet instinctively, as if programmed to halt at a specific area; it stopped, an obscure moving silhouette up the road Standing motionless, Bourne understoodThese were trained male attack dogs, each with its own territory, which was constantly urinated upon, forever its own turfIt was a behavioral discipline favored by Oriental peasants and small landowners who knew too well the price of feeding the animals who guarded their minuscule fiefdoms of survivalTrain a few, as few as possible, to protect their separated areas from thieves, and if alarms were raised the others would convergeIt was coming back to him! Vague, obscure outlines—imagesA young, powerful man in uniform, driving a Jeep, stepping out, and—through the mists of Jason’s inner screen—yelling at what was left of an assault team that had returned from interdicting an ordnance route paralleling the Ho Chi Minh TrailThat same man, older, larger, had been in his binoculars only moments ago! And years ago that same man had promised suppliesAmmunition, mortars, grenades, radiosHe had brought nothing!
