9:32 am	@@@@@ Had she doubted his meaning while she @@@@@ Had she doubted his meaning while she listened, the glow in his face, when she looked up at him, would have been decisive For this letter she must try to arm herselfThat a letter from Edmund should be a subject of terror! She began to feel that she had not yet gone through all the changes of opinion and sentiment which the progress of time and variation of circumstances occasion in this world of changesThe vicissitudes of the human mind had not yet been exhausted by her Poor Fanny! though going as she did willingly and eagerly, the last evening at Mansfield Park must still be wretchednessHer heart was completely sad at partingShe had tears for every room in the house, much more for every beloved inhabitantShe clung to her aunt, because she would miss her; she kissed the hand of her uncle with struggling sobs, because she had displeased him; and as for Edmund, she could neither speak, nor look, nor think, when the last moment came with him; and it was not till it was over that she knew he was giving her the affectionate farewell of a brother All this passed overnight, for the journey was to begin very early in the morning; and when the small, diminished party met at breakfast, William and Fanny were talked of as already advanced one stage 326 Mansfield Park CHAPTER XXXVIII THE NOVELTY OF TRAVELLING, and the happiness of being with William, soon produced their natural effect on Fanny’s spirits, when Mansfield Park was fairly left behind; and by the time their first stage was ended, and they were to quit Sir Thomas’s carriage, she was able to take leave of the old coachman, and send back proper messages, with cheerful looks Of pleasant talk between the brother and sister there was no end Everything supplied an amusement to the high glee of William’s mind, and he was full of frolic and joke in the intervals of their higher-toned subjects, all of which ended, if they did not begin, in praise of the Thrush, conjectures how she would be employed, schemes for an action with some superior force, which (supposing the first lieutenant out of the way, and William was not very merciful to the first lieutenant) was to give himself the next step as soon as possible, or speculations upon prize-money, which was to be generously distributed at home, with only the reservation of enough to make the little cottage comfortable, in which he and Fanny were to pass all their middle and later life together Fanny’s immediate concerns, as far as they involved MrCrawford, made no part of their conversationWilliam knew what had passed, and from his heart lamented that his sister’s feelings should be so cold towards a man whom he must consider as the first of human characters; but he was of an age to be all for love, and therefore unable to blame; and knowing her wish on the subject, he would not distress her by the slightest allusion She had reason to suppose herself not yet forgotten by MrShe had heard repeatedly from his sister within the three weeks which had passed since their leaving Mansfield, and in each letter there had been a few lines from himself, warm and deter327 Jane Austen mined like his speechesIt was a correspondence which Fanny found quite as unpleasant as she had fearedMiss Crawford’s style of writing, lively and affectionate, was itself an evil, independent of what she was thus forced into reading from the brother’s pen, for Edmund would never rest till she had read the chief of the letter to him; and then she had to listen to his admiration of her language, and the warmth of her attachmentsThere had, in fact, been so much of message, of allusion, of recollection, so much of Mansfield in every letter, that Fanny could not but suppose it meant for him to hear; and to find herself forced into a purpose of that kind, compelled into a correspondence which was bringing her the addresses of the man she did not love, and obliging her to administer to the adverse passion of the man she did, was cruelly mortifyingHere, too, her present removal promised advantageWhen no longer under the same roof with Edmund, she trusted that Miss Crawford would have no motive for writing strong enough to overcome the trouble, and that at Portsmouth their correspondence would dwindle into nothing With such thoughts as these, among ten hundred others, Fanny proceeded in her journey safely and cheerfully, and as expeditiously as could rationally be hoped in the dirty month of FebruaryThey entered Oxford, but she could take only a hasty glimpse of Edmund’s college as they passed along, and made no stop anywhere till they reached Newbury, where a comfortable meal, uniting dinner and supper, wound up the enjoyments and fatigues of the day The next morning saw them off again at an early hour; and with no events, and no delays, they regularly advanced, and were in the environs of Portsmouth while there was yet daylight for Fanny to look around her, and wonder at the new building (Comment on this)

9:11 am	@@@@@ So the killer with many aliases was @@@@@ So the killer with many aliases was escorted to the wide bulkhead on the left, where his woman was gently transferred from the wheelchair to the seat on the aisle; his was next to the window Their trays were set up and a chilled bottle of Cristal was brought in their honor and for their enjoymentThe captain raised the first glass and toasted the couple; he returned to the flight deck as the old woman winked at her man, the wink wicked and filled with laughterIn moments, the passengers began boarding the plane, a number of whom glancing appreciatively at the elderly “man and wife” in the front rowFor the rumors had spread in the Air France loungeLe Grand Charles himself In the Alps he held off six hundred Boche—or was it a thousand? As the enormous jet raced down the runway and with a thump lumbered off the ground into the air, the old “hero of France”—whose only heroics he could recall from the Résistance were based on theft, survival, insults to his woman, and staying out of whatever army or labor force that might draft him—reached into his pocket for his papersThe passport had his picture duly inserted, but that was the only item he recognizedThe rest—name, date and place of birth, occupation—all were unfamiliar, and the attached list of honors, well, they were formidableTotally out of character, but in case anyone should ever refer to them, he had better restudy the “facts” so he could at least nod in self-effacing modestyHe had been assured that the individual originally possessing the name and the achievements had no living relatives and few friends, and had disappeared from his apartment in Marseilles supposedly on a world trip from which he presumably would not return The Jackal’s courier looked at the name—he must remember it and respond whenever it was spokenIt should not be difficult, for it was such a common nameAnd so he repeated it silently to himself over and over again Jean Pierre Fontaine, Jean Pierre Fontaine, Jean Pierre A sound!
