"County coroner says Candy Brown died of congestive heart failureJust thought you'd like to knowIt was a slow go but far from a no go Wireman swam into existence around the window where his brain swam on the GulfIt was a younger Wireman than the one in the photos clipped to the sides of my easel, but that was okay; I consulted them less and less, and on the third day I took them down altogetherI didn't need them anymore Still, I painted the way I supposed most other artists painted: as if it were a job instead of some speed-trip insanity that came and went in spasmsI did it with the radio on, now always tuned to The Bone On the fourth day, Wireman brought me a revised contract and told me I could signHe said 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 people (Comment on this)

2:46 am	@@@@@He had made it his business to learn their @@@@@He had made it his business to learn their names immediately, but that was hardly equivalent to knowing anything about them, and it was obviously important that he should form some quick idea of them as individualsHe had talked to a few casually, joked with them, but it was not a process he enjoyed particularly, and he knew his own aptitudes were poorly suitedHe could learn more from observationThe only trouble was that observation was necessarily slow, and by tomorrow morning they would land on the beach, begin their patrol, then every bit of knowledge about them would be important As Hearn watched their faces, he was aware of a vague discomfortIt was the kind of physical readiness, the slight guilt, the slight shame, perhaps, that he had felt in walking through a slum neighborhood, conscious of the hostility of the people who watched him passCertainly whenever one of the men stared at him, it was a little difficult not to look awayMost of them had hard faces; their eyes were blank with something cold and removed in their expressionAs a group they had a forbidding and rigid quality as though they no longer held an excess bit of weight nor a surplus emotionTheir skins had turned sallow, almost yellow, and their faces, their arms and legs, were pocked with many jungles soresNearly all of them had shaved before they started out, and yet their faces were unkempt their clothing sloppy He looked at Croft, who had put on a clean fatigue uniformHe was squatting on his cot, sharpening his trench knife against a little whetstone he had withdrawn from his pocketHearn knew Croft perhaps best of all, or more exactly he had spent the most time with him that morning discussing the patrol, but actually he did not know him at allCroft had listened to him, had nodded, spat occasionally to the side, and answered him when necessary with a few bare words, uttered in a low toneless murmurCroft obviously handled the platoon well, he was tough and capable, and Hearn was reasonably certain that Croft resented himIt would be a difficult relationship to handle, for Croft knew more than he did yet, and unless he was careful the platoon would soon realize itAlmost with fascination, Hearn watched Croft working on his trench knifeHe brooded over it, his cold gaunt face examining his hands as he drew the blade back and forth against the stoneThere was something frozen about him, something congealed in the set of his tight mouth, the concentration of his eyesCroft was tough, all right, Hearn told himself The boat was turning now, angling against the swellsHearn grasped a strut more firmly as it jarred against a wave There was Sergeant Brown, whom he knew slightly; he was the one who looked like a boy with his snubbed nose and freckles and light-brown hairThe Typical American Soldier -- the agreeable composite hatched out of the tobacco smoke and hangovers of the advertising conferences (Comment on this)

I will have and Rhett, too, if it takes a hundred yearshave never been so annoyed in all my long years," said Eleanor ButlerHer hands were shaking when she poured the teaA crushed thin paper sheet was on the floor near her feetThe telegram had arrived while she and Rosemary were out shopping: Cousin Townsend Ellinton and his wife were coming down from Philadelphia to visit"Two days' notice!" Eleanor exclaimed"Can you credit it? You'd think they'd never heard of the War "They'll be staying in a suite at the Charleston Hotel, Mama," Rhett said soothingly, "and we'll take them to the BallIt won't be too bad "It will be awful," said Rosemary"I don't see any reason we have to put ourselves out to be nice to Yankees "Because they're our kin," said her mother severely"And you will be extremely nice Besides, your Cousin Townsend isn't a Yankee at allHe fought with General Lee Rosemary frowned and was silentMiss Eleanor began to laugh"I must stop complaining," she said"It'll be worth it in the long run to see Townsend and Henry Wragg meet each other Townsend's cross-eyed, and Henry's walleyedDo you suppose they'll be able to manage to shake hands?" * * The Ellintons weren't so bad, Scarlett thought, even though you didn't know where to look when you talked to Cousin TownsendHis wife Hannah wasn't as beautiful as Miss Eleanor had predicted, which was agreeable However, her pearl-sewn ruby brocade ball gown and diamond dogcollar made Scarlett feel miserably frumpy in her tired claret velvet and camel (Comment on this)
