    @@@@@Bourne scrambled, his elbows and knees
    @@@@@Bourne scrambled, his elbows and knees silently pounding the hard pavement, until
    he reached that point nearest the van where he could observe the scene on the staircase with
    minimum risk of being spottedHe was relieved to see that the two guards in the street
    continuously winced and blinked under the beam of the searchlightHis status was as clean as it
    could be under the tenuous circumstancesEverything now was timing, precision, and all the
    expertise he could summon from times too often unremembered or too vague or too long agoHe
    had to remember now; instinct had to propel him through his personal mistsThe end of the
    nightmare was at hand
    It was happening! Suddenly there was furious activity at the door as a third figure came rushing
    out, joining the other twoThe man was shorter than his male colleague, wearing a beret and
    carrying a briefcaseHe obviously issued orders that included the rear guard, who ran up to the
    pavement as the new arrival hurled his briefcase down over the brick stepsThe guard instantly
    clutched his weapon under his left arm and effortlessly caught the leather missile in midairNous partons! Vite!” shouted the second man, gesturing for the other two on the
    brick steps to precede him down to the vanThey did so, the man in the raincoat joining the guard
    at’ the rear doors, the woman accompanying the one who gave the ordersThe Jackal? Was it
    Carlos? Was it?
    Bourne desperately wanted to believe that it was—therefore, it was! The sound of the vehicle’s
    curbside door slamming shut was followed rapidly by the gunning of the vehicle’s powerful engine;
    both were a signalThe three other guards raced from their posts to the rear doors of the vanOne
    by one they climbed up inside after the man in the black raincoat, their legs stretched, arms bracing
    shoulders, curved hands gripping the two metal frames that with instant muscular strain propelled
    them inside as their weapons were thrown in front of themThen a pair of hands reached out for the
    interior door handles—
    Now! Bourne pulled the pin of the grenade and lurched to his feet, running as he had never run
    in his life toward the swinging rear doors of the vanHe dived, twisting his body in flight, landing
    on his back as he gripped the left panel and threw the grenade inside, the bomb’s release in his

    handSix seconds and it would detonateJason got to his knees, arms extended, and crashed the
    doors shutA fusillade of gunfire eruptedBut it was an unintended miracle—as the Jackal’s van
    was bulletproof, it was also impervious to bullets shot from within! There were no penetrations of
    the steel, only thuds and the screaming whistles of ricochets and the screams of the wounded
    inside
    The glistening vehicle shot forward on the boulevard Lefebvre as Bourne sprang to a crouch and
    raced toward the deserted storefronts on the east side of the streetHe was nearly across the wide
    avenue when the impossible happenedThe impossible!
    The Jackal’s van blew up, the explosion firing the dark Paris sky, and the moment it happened a
    brown limousine screeched around the nearest corner, the windows open, men in the black spaces,
    weapons in their grips, spraying the entire area with thunderous, indiscriminate

    other considerations aside, she's apt to be

    I could have said that Jack - also sort of a dear

    Wireman said"I don't think it's an aura, exactly,

    nobody there
    “It is about my uncle’s usual time
    “When do you think of going?”
    “I may, perhaps, get as far as Banbury to-day
    “Whose stables do you use at Bath?” was the next question; and while
    this branch of the subject was under discussion, Maria, who wanted
    neither pride nor resolution, was preparing to encounter her share of it
    with tolerable calmness
    To her he soon turned, repeating much of what he had already
    said, with only a softened air and stronger expressions of regretBut
    what availed his expressions or his air? He was going, and, if not
    voluntarily going, voluntarily intending to stay away; for, excepting
    what might be due to his uncle, his engagements were all self-imposed
    He might talk of necessity, but she knew his independence
    The hand which had so pressed hers to his heart! the hand and the
    heart were alike motionless and passive now! Her spirit supported
    her, but the agony of her mind was severeShe had not long to
    endure what arose from listening to language which his actions contradicted,
    or to bury the tumult of her feelings under the restraint of
    society; for general civilities soon called his notice from her, and the
    farewell visit, as it then became openly acknowledged, was a very
    short oneHe was gone—he had touched her hand for the last time,
    he had made his parting bow, and she might seek directly all that

    Jane Austen
    solitude could do for herHenry Crawford was gone, gone from the
    house, and within two hours afterwards from the parish; and so
    ended all the hopes his selfish vanity had raised in Maria and Julia
    Bertram
    Julia could rejoice that he was goneHis presence was beginning
    to be odious to her; and if Maria gained him not, she was now cool
    enough to dispense with any other revengeShe did not want exposure
    to be added to desertionHenry Crawford gone, she could
    even pity her sister
    With a purer spirit did Fanny rejoice in the intelligenceShe heard
    it at dinner, and felt it a blessingBy all the others it was mentioned
    with regret; and his merits honoured with due gradation of feeling—
    from the sincerity of Edmund’s too partial regard, to the unconcern
    of his mother speaking entirely by roteNorris began
    to look about her, and wonder that his falling in love with Julia had

    @@@@@Would he have persevered, and uprightly,
    @@@@@Would
    he have persevered, and uprightly, Fanny must have been his reward,
    and a reward very voluntarily bestowed, within a reasonable
    period from Edmund’s marrying Mary
    Had he done as he intended, and as he knew he ought, by going
    down to Everingham after his return from Portsmouth, he might
    have been deciding his own happy destinyBut he was pressed to
    stay for MrsFraser’s party; his staying was made of flattering consequence,
    and he was to meet MrsCuriosity and
    409
    Jane Austen
    vanity were both engaged, and the temptation of immediate pleasure
    was too strong for a mind unused to make any sacrifice to
    right: he resolved to defer his Norfolk journey, resolved that writing
    should answer the purpose of it, or that its purpose was unimportant,
    and staidRushworth, was received by her with a
    coldness which ought to have been repulsive, and have established
    apparent indifference between them for ever; but he was mortified,
    he could not bear to be thrown off by the woman whose smiles had
    been so wholly at his command: he must exert himself to subdue so
    proud a display of resentment; it was anger on Fanny’s account; he
    must get the better of it, and make MrsRushworth Maria Bertram
    again in her treatment of himself
    In this spirit he began the attack, and by animated perseverance
    had soon re-established the sort of familiar intercourse, of gallantry,
    of flirtation, which bounded his views; but in triumphing over the
    discretion which, though beginning in anger, might have saved them
    both, he had put himself in the power of feelings on her side more
    strong than he had supposedShe loved him; there was no withdrawing
    attentions avowedly dear to herHe was entangled by his
    own vanity, with as little excuse of love as possible, and without the
    smallest inconstancy of mind towards her cousinTo keep Fanny
    and the Bertrams from a knowledge of what was passing became his
    first objectSecrecy could not have been more desirable for Mrs
    Rushworth’s credit than he felt it for his ownWhen he returned
    from Richmond, he would have been glad to see MrsAll that followed was the result of her imprudence; and he
    went off with her at last, because he could not help it, regretting
    Fanny even at the moment, but regretting her infinitely more when
    all the bustle of the intrigue was over, and a very few months had
    taught him, by the force of contrast, to place a yet higher value on
    the sweetness of her temper, the purity of her mind, and the excellence
    of her principles
    That punishment, the public punishment of disgrace, should in a
    just measure attend his share of the offence is, we know, not one of
    the barriers which society gives to virtueIn this world the penalty is
    less equal than could be wished; but without presuming to look
    forward to a juster appointment hereafter, we may fairly consider a
    410
    Mansfield Park
    man of sense, like Henry Crawford, to be providing for himself no
    small portion of vexation and regret: vexation that must rise sometimes
    to self-reproach, and regret to wretchedness, in having so requited
    hospitality, so injured family peace, so forfeited his best, most
    estimable, and endeared acquaintance, and so lost the woman whom
    he had rationally as well as passionately loved
    After what had passed to wound and alienate the two families, the
    continuance of the Bertrams and Grants in such close neighbourhood
    would have been most distressing; but the absence of the latter, for
    some months purposely lengthened, ended very fortunately in the
    necessity, or at least the practicability, of a permanent removal
    Grant, through an interest on which he had almost ceased to form
    hopes, succeeded to a stall in Westminster, which, as affording an
    occasion for leaving Mansfield, an excuse for residence in London,
    and an increase of income to answer the expenses of the change,
    was highly acceptable to those who went and those who staidGrant, with a temper to love and be loved, must have gone
    with some regret from the scenes and people she had been used to;
    but the same happiness of disposition must in any place, and any
    society, secure her a great deal to enjoy, and she had again a home to
    offer Mary; and Mary had had enough of her own friends, enough
    of vanity, ambition, love, and disappointment in the course of the
    last half-year, to be in need of the true kindness of her sister’s heart,
    and the rational tranquillity of her waysThey lived together; and
    when DrGrant had brought on apoplexy and death, by three great
    institutionary dinners in one week, they still lived together; for Mary,
    though perfectly resolved against ever attaching herself to a younger
    brother again, was long in finding among the dashing representatives,
    or idle heir-apparents, who were at the command of her beauty, and
    her 20,000, any one who could satisfy the better taste she had acquired
    at Mansfield, whose character and manners could authorise a
    hope of the domestic happiness she had there learned to estimate, or
    put Edmund Bertram sufficiently out of her head
    Edmund had greatly the advantage of her in this respectHe had
    not to wait and wish with vacant affections for an object worthy to
    succeed her in themScarcely had he done regretting Mary Crawford,
    and observing to Fanny how impossible it was that he should ever
    411
    Jane Austen
    meet with such another woman, before it began to strike him whether
    a very different kind of woman might not do just as well, or a great
    deal better: whether Fanny herself were not growing as dear, as important
    to him in all her smiles and all her ways, as Mary Crawford
    had ever been; and whether it might not be a possible, an hopeful
    undertaking to persuade her that her warm and sisterly regard for
    him would be foundation enough for wedded lo
