The Time Machine: SAM CROFT THE HUNTER
A lean man of medium height but he held himself so erectly he appeared tallHis narrow triangular face was utterly without expressionThere seemed nothing wasted in his hard small jaw, gaunt firm cheeks and straight short noseHis gelid eyes were very bluehe was efficient and strong and usually empty and his main cast of mind was a superior contempt toward nearly all other menHe hated weakness and he loved practically nothingThere was a crude unformed vision in his soul but he was rarely conscious of it
No, but why is Croft that way? Oh, there are answersHe is that way because of the corruption-of-the-societyHe is that way because the devil has claimed him for one of his ownIt is because he is a Texan; it is because he has renounced God He is that kind of man because the only woman he ever loved cheated on him, or he was born that way, or he was having problems of adjustment Croft's father, Jesse Croft, liked to say, "Well, now, my Sam is a mean boyI reckon he was whelped mean And then Jesse Croft, thinking of his wife who was ailing, a weak woman sweet and mild, might add, " 'Course Sam got mother's milk if ever a one did, but Ah figger it turned sour for him 'cause that was the only way his stomach would take it Then he would cackle and blow his nose into his hand and wipe it on the back of his pale-blue dungarees | | Friday, December 31st, 2010 | | 6:47 pm |

@@@@@Hunting was for
tumn and winterThe only @@@@@Hunting was for tumn and winterThe only reason Sir John Morland had one was to show off his horses to his rich American guestAlmost as bad was the news that ladies dressed for ú changed for lunch, changed for afternoon, changed for dinner, wore the same thing twiceScarlett had two daytime frocks, dinner gown, and her riding habitThere was no point in sending allyhara for any more, eitherScanlon, the dressmaker, had one without sleep to finish the things she had with herAll her lothes made new for the trip to America were hopelessly out of ashion"I think I'll leave first thing in the morning," said Scarlett"Oh, no," Sarah cried, "you mustn't do that, The O'Hara What o you care what the others do? They're only Anglos Scarlett smiled at the girl"So it's us against them, Sarah, is that hat you're telling me? How did you know I was The O'Hara?" "Everyone in County Meath knows about The O'Hara," said he girl proudly, "everyone Irish She felt better already"Now, Sarah," she said, 'tell me all about the Anglos who are here Scarlett was sure the servants in the house must know everything about everybodySarah didn't disappoint herWhen Scarlett went downstairs for dinner, she was armored against any snobbishness she might meetShe knew more about the other guests than their own mothers didEven so, she felt like a backwoods CrackerAnd she was furious at John MorlandAll he'd said was "light frocks in the daytime and something rather naked for dinner at night The other women were gowned and jewelled like queens, she thought, and she'd left her pearls and her diamond earbobs at home Also, she was sure that her gown fairly screamed aloud that a village dressmaker had made it She gritted her teeth and made up her mind that she was going to have a good time anyhowMight as well, I'll never get invited any place | | Saturday, December 4th, 2010 | | 6:42 pm |
@@@@@The full-size mattress is only inches away @@@@@The full-size mattress is only inches away from the rough stone walls on either side It gives me a deep, rich sense of joy to see Jamie asleep on a real bed, his head on a soft pillow His lanky arms and legs sprawl out, leaving little room for me where I am meant to sleepHe is so much bigger in reality than the way I see him in my headAlmost ten–soon he won't be a child at allExcept that he will always be a child to me Jamie breathes evenly, sleeping soundThere is no fear in his dream, for this moment at least I shut the door quietly and go back to the small couch where Jared waits “Thank you,” I whisper, though I know shouting the words wouldn't wake Jamie nowThis couch is much too short for youMaybe you should take the bed with Jamie“Mel, you're only a few inches shorter than I amSleep comfortably, for once Next time I'm out, I'll steal myself a cot or something I don't like this, for lots of reasonsWill he be leaving soon? Will he take us with him when he goes? Does he see this room assignment as a permanent thing? He drops his arm around my shoulders and tucks me against his sideI scoot closer, though the heat of touching him has my heart aching again “Why the frown?” he asks “When will you… when willwe have to leave again?” He shrugs“We scavenged enough on our way up that we're set for a few monthsI can do a few short raids if you want to stay in one place for a whileI'm sure you're tired of running “Yes, I am,” I agreeI take a deep breath to make me brave |
