There was nothing to do but to go from one day into the nextThe platoon was lucky, for tomorrow anywayThey’d have recon working on the beach detail for a week probably, and the first patrols where all the trails were strange would be made already, and the campaign would have dropped into a familiar and bearable rutHe spat again, kneading with his blunt scarred fingers the knurled swollen knuckles of his other hand
In silhouette against the rail, his profile consisted almost entirely of a large blob of a nose and a long low-slung jaw, but in the moonlight this was misleading for it did not show the redness of his skin and hairHis face always seemed boiled and angry except for his eyes, which were quiet, a pale blue, marooned by themselves in a web of wrinkles and frecklesWhen he laughed his teeth showed, big and yellow and crooked, his rough voice braying out with a contemptuous inviolate mirthEverything about him was bony and knobbed, and although he was more than six feet tall, it was unlikely that he weighed one hundred and fifty pounds
His hand scratched his stomach, explored about for a moment or two and then haltedHe had forgotten his life beltAutomatically he thought of going back to the hold for it, and was angered at himself”Goddam Army gets you so you’re afraid to turn around”You waste half your time trying to remember what they told you to do Still he debated for a moment whether he should fetch it, and then grinned”Aaah, you can only get killed once
He had told that to Hennessey, a kid who had joined recon only a few weeks before the division’s task force had loaded ship for this invasion”A life belt, that’s something for Hennessey to worry about, a life belt,” he said to himself now
They had been up on deck together one night when an air raid sounded, and they had squatted under a life raft, watching the ships in convoy lashing through the black water, the crew at the nearest gun standing tensely by the breechA Zero had attacked and a dozen searchlights had tried to focus on itHundreds of tracer arcs had lined red patterns through the airIt had all been very different from the combat he had previously seen, without heat, without fatigue, beautiful and unreal like a technicolor movie or a calendar pictureHe had watched in absorption, not even ducking when a bomb had exploded in a livid yellow fan over a ship a few hundred yards away
Then Hennessey had destroyed his mood”Jesus, I just remembered,” he had said
“What?”
“I ain’t got any air cartridges in my life

@@@@@What about Aunt Pittypat,
though? And India? had she dried up so much she was dust? And all
those people who had once been so important to her so long ago? I
wish
I’d kept in touch with the aunts myself instead of leaving money with
my lawyer to send them their allowance fromI was right not letting
them know where I was, I was right to protect Cat from RhettBut
maybe he wouldn’t do anything now; look at the way he was at the
CastleIf I write to Eulalie, I’ll get all the Charleston news from
herI’ll hear about RhettCould I bear it to hear that he and Anne
are blissfully happy, raising racehorses and Butler babies? I don’t
believe I want to knowI’ll let the aunts stay like they areAll
I’d get anyhow is a million crossed pages of lecturing, and I get
enough lecturing from MrsFitz to fill that holeMaybe she’s right
about giving some parties; it is a shame to have that house and all
those servants standing idleBut she’s dead wrong about CatI don’t
give a fig what Anglo mothers do, I’m not going to have a nanny
running
Cat’s lifeI see little enough of her now, the way she’s always off
at the stables or in the kitchen or wandering over the place or up a
tree somewhereAnd the idea of sending her away to some convent
school is just plain crazy! When she’s old enough, the school in
Ballyhara will do just fineShe’ll have friends there, tooIt’s
worrisome to me sometimes that she never wants to play with any
other
children What on earth is going on? It’s not Market DayWhy’s
the bridge all jammed up with people like this? Scarlett leaned down
from the buggy and touched a hurrying woman on the shoulder
“What’s
happening?” The woman looked upHer eyes were bright, her whole
face
excitedBetter hurry, or you’ll miss itScarlett didn’t want to see some poor devil of a soldier
being whippedShe had an idea that flogging was punishment in the
militaryShe tried to turn the buggy around, but the pushing,
hurrying mass of people avid to see the spectacle caught her up in
their pressHer horse was buffeted, her buggy rocked and pushed

Polack was perhaps twenty-one but his eyes were shrewd and bawdy, and when he laughed his skin was wizened, tough, like the skin of a middle-aged manMinetta felt a little uncomfortable with himSecretly he was afraid to match his knowledge against Polack’s
“Stop throwing it,” Minetta saidWho did Polack think he was telling the story to?
“No, it’s the truth,” Polack said in a hurt voiceHe always dropped the “h” when he said “think” or “the” or “truth

“You havin’ a good time?” Polack asked
“I can’t complain,” Minetta said”You talk like something out of a comic book”Anyway, one thing nobody ever beat was the Army
“I ain’t done so bad,” Polack said
“You’re doing bad till the day you get out of it,” Minetta told himHe clapped his hand against his forehead, and sat up”The goddam mosquitoes,” he saidHe rummaged underneath his pillow, a towel wrapped about a soiled shirt, and drew out a small bottle of mosquito lotionAs he rubbed it over his face and hands he grumbled”What a way for a guy to live He propped himself on an elbow and lit a cigaretteHe remembered he was not supposed to smoke at night, and for a moment debated with himself”Aaah, fug it,” he said aloudUnconsciously his hand shielded the cigarette, howeverHe turned toward Polack and said, “Boy, I don’t like to live like a pig He pounded his pillow smo

There was plenty leftRosaleen Fitzpatrick had to lift up her skirt

She walked silently at his side until she caught her breath sufficiently
so that she could speak”And what happens now?” she asked
“You’re

Colum stopped, turned to face her”There is no truth of anything, and

How to Draw a Picture (VI)
Keep your focusIt’s the difference between a
good picture and just one more image cluttering up
a world filled with them
Elizabeth Eastlake was a demon when it came to
focus; remember that she literally drew herself
back into the worldAnd when the voice inhabiting
Noveen told her about the treasure, she focused on
that and drew pictures of it littered on the sandy
floor of the GulfOnce the storm had uncovered it,
that entrancing strew was close enough to the
surface so that the sun must have picked out
gleams on it at midday – gleams that would have
searched all the way to the surface
She wanted to please her DaddyAll she wanted for
herself was the china doll

Daddy says Any doll is yours – fair salvage, and
God help him for that
She waded in beside him, up to her chubby knees,
pointing, saying It’s right out thereSwim n kick
til I say stop
He waded out farther while she stood there, and
when he rolled forward, giving his body to the
caldo, his flippers looked to her the size of
small rowboatsLater she would draw them just
that wayHe spat in his mask, rinsed it, and put
it onPopped the mouthpiece of his snorkel behind
his lipsWent fin-trudging out into the sunny
blue with his face in the water, his body merging
with the moving sun-sparks that turned the glassy
rollers to goldElizabeth drew some and I drew
some
She stood up to her knees in the water with Noveen
tucked under her arm, watching, until Nan Melda,
worried about the rip, hollered her back to what
they called Shade Beach

He is always learning things, understanding already that his mind must work on many levelsThere is the thing he thinks of as the truth, the objective situation which his mind must unravel; there is the “deep layer,” as he calls it, the mattress resting on the cloud, and he does not care to plumb for the legs; there is, and it is very important, the level where he must do and say things for their effect upon the men with whom he lives and works
He learns the last dramatically in the hour on Military History and Tactics(The brown scrubbed room, the birkin hermes blackboards at the front, the benches where the cadets sit in the unquestioned symmetry of ancient patterns, the squares of a chessboard
Sir (he gets permission to speak), is it fair to say that Lee was the better general than Grant? I know that their tactics don’t compare, but Grant had the knowledge of strategyWhat good are tactics, sir, if thethe larger mechanics of men and supplies are not developed properly, because the tactics are just the part of the whole? In this conception wasn’t Grant the greater man because he tried to take into account the cartier love intangiblesHe wasn’t much good at the buck-and-wing but he could think up the rest of the show
It has been a triple errorHe has been contradictory, rebellious and facetious
Cummings, you’ll make your points in the future more concisely
You happen to be wrongYou men will find out that experience is worth a great deal more than theoryIt is impossible to account for all your strategy, those things have a way of balancing out as happened at Richmond, as is happening now in the trench warfare in EuropeTactics is always the determinant(He writes it on the chanel pearl blackboard
Sir?
Since you will be fortunate if you command a battalion by the end of twenty years, you’ll do a sight better to concern yourself with the strategic problems of a platoon (there is muffled laughter at his sarcasm) than with those of an Army(Seeing the approval in his eyes, the class releases its laughter, singeing Cummings’s flesh

“Huh?” Wireman asked
“Never mind,” Jack said, still grinningThen he
