@@@@@All day there was something to
do: checkers tournaments, heated competitions at quoits on deck,
excited participation in games of chance, such as wagering on the
number of miles the ship would cover the following dayIn the
evening
they sang along with the professional musicians and danced
energetically to all the Irish reels and Viennese waltzesEven when
the dancing was done, the amusement continuedThere was always a
game
of whist in the Ladies’ Card Saloon, and Scarlett was always in demand
as a partnerExcept for Charleston’s rationed coffee, the stakes were
higher than any she’d known, and every turn of a card was exciting
So were her winningsThe Brian Boru’s passengers were living proof
that America was the Land of Opportunity, and they didn’t mind
spending
their lately gained wealthColum, too, benefitted from their opened
pocketsWhile the women played cards, the men generally retired to
the ship’s bar for whiskey and cigarsThere, Colum brought tears of
pity and pride to eyes that were normally shrewd and dryHe talked
about Ireland’s oppression under English rule, called the roll of
martyrs to the cause of Irish freedom, and accepted lavish donations
for the Fenian BrotherhoodA crossing on the Brian Boru was always
a
profitable enterprise, and Colum made the trip at least twice a year,
even though the excessive luxury of the staterooms and the
gargantuan
meals secretly sickened him when he thought of the poverty and need
of
the Irish in IrelandBy the end of the first week, Scarlett, too, was
looking at their fellow passengers with a disapproving eyeBoth men
and women changed clothes four times a day, the better to show off
the
extent of their costly wardrobesScarlett had never seen so many
jewels in her lifeShe told herself she was glad that she’d left hers
in the vault 445 of the Savannah bank; they’d pale next to the array in
the dining saloon every nightBut in truth she wasn’t glad at all
She had grown accustomed to having more of everything than anyone
she
knewa bigger house, more servants, more luxury, more things, more
moneyIt put her nose decidedly out of joint to see display more
conspicuous than hers had ever beenIn Savannah, Kathleen, Mary
Kate,
and Helen had been ingenuously blatant in their envy, and all the
O’Haras had fed her need for admirationThese people on the ship
didn’t envy her, or even admire her all that much
Scarlett wasn’t at all pleased with themShe couldn’t bear a whole
country full of Irish if this was what they were likeIf she heard
“Wearing o’ the Green” one more time she’d scream”You’re just not
taken with the American New-Rich, Scarlett darling,” Colum soothe

what I’d forgottenNow, in this deep crease of
the night with the wind roaring outsideI’d been
883
so fixated on the goddam show that I’d never
thought much about who I might have given work to
before the show
Can I have it?
My memory, still apt to be so balky, sometimes
surprised me with bursts of Technicolor brillianceI saw Ilse Cartier watch tank standing barefoot
in Little Pink, dressed in shorts and a shell top
She was standing by my easelI had to ask her to
move so I could see the picture she was so taken
withThe picture I didn’t even remember doing
Can I have it?
When she stood aside, I saw a little girl in a
tennis dressHer back was turned, but she was the
focus of the pictureThe red hair marked Chloe Purse her as
Reba, my little love, that girlfriend from my
other lifeYet she was also Ilse – Rowboat Ilse -
and Elizabeth’s big sister Adriana as well, for
that was Adie’s tennis dress, the one with the
fine blue loops along the hem(I couldn’t know
this, but I did; it was news that had come
whispering up from Elizabeth’s pictures – pictures
done when she balenciaga replica was still known as Libbit
Can I have it? This is the one I want
884
Or the one something wanted her to want
I tried Ilse, Pam had saidI wasn’t sure I’d
reach her, but she just got in
All around the doll-girl’s feet were tennis balls
Others floated shoreward on the mild waves
She sounded tired, but she’s okay
Was she? Was she really? I had given her ladies gucci watch that
damned pictureShe was my Miss Cookie, and I
could refuse her nothingI had even named it for
her, because she said artists had to name their
picturesThe End of the Game, I’d told her, and

I drew quickly, and the jockey came out of the

was there: the knowing eyes and the broad lips
that might have been grinning with either mirth or
malevolenceI had no time to color the shirt and

Plain Red (one of mine) along its barrel and added

THE MOPPING UP was eminently successfulA week after the Toyaku Line had been breached, the remnants of the Japanese garrison on Anopopei had been whittled into a hundred and then a thousand little segmentsTheir organization broke completely; battalions were cut off, and then companies, and finally platoons and squads and little slivers of five and three and two men hid in the jungle, attempted to escape the flood of American patrol

myself; it’s one of my most valuable assetsAnother, as you can
imagine, is that I have means of learning things that others do not
I’m a businesswoman, tooI would like to tell you about my business,
if I may Scarlett could only nod dumblyWhat did this woman know
about her? And how? To put it at its most basic level, she arranged
things, said MrsShe was born the youngest daughter of a
younger son of a good family, and she had married a younger son of
anotherEven before he died in a hunting accident she had grown
tired
of being always on the edge of things, always trying to keep up
appearances and lead the life expected of well-bred ladies and
gentlemen, always in need of moneyAfter she was widowed she
found
herself in the position of poor relation, a position that was
intolerableWhat she had was intelligence, education, taste, and
entree to all the best houses in IrelandShe built on them, adding
discretion and information to the attributes she began with”I am-in
a manner of speaking-a professional house guest and friendI give
generously of advice-in clothing, in entertaining, in decorating
houses, in arranging marriages or assignationsAnd I am paid
generous
commissions by dressmakers and tailors, bootmakers and jewelers,
furniture dealers and rug merchantsI am skillful and tactful, and it
is doubtful that anyone suspects that I am being paidEven if they do
suspect, either they don’t want to know or they are so satisfied with
the outcome that they don’t care, particularly since it costs them
nothing Scarlett was shocked and fascinatedWhy was the woman
confessing all of this, to her of all people? “I’m telling you this
because I am sure you’re no fool, MrsYou would wonderand
rightly-if I offered to help you, as the saying goes, out of the
goodness of my heartThere is no goodness in my heart, except
insofar
as it adds to my personal wellbeingI have a business proposal for
youYou deserve better than a shabby little party given by a shabby
little woman like Alice HarringtonYou have beauty and brains and
moneyYou can be an originalIf you put yourself in my hands,
under
my tutelage, I will make you the most admired, the most sought-after
woman in Ireland
