2:30 am	@@@@@On the plain each blade of grass was an inch @@@@@On the plain each blade of grass was an inch wide and many feet highSometimes they would trudge for a hundred yards through grass that was over their headsIt roused a new kind of terror in them, drove them on more quickly than was bearableThey felt as though they blundered through a forest, but the forest was not solidIt weaved and swayed, rustled against their limbs, was soft and yielding, and therefore nauseousThey were afraid to let the man in front move too far away, for they could not see more than two or three yards, and so they dogged at each other's heels, the grass whipping nastily into their facesEvery now and then a cloud of gnats would be disturbed and flicker tantalizingly about them, goading their flash with a dozen tiny bitesThere were many spiders in the field, and the webs kept trickling across their faces and hands, lashing them forward in a minor frenzyPollen and bits of grass teased their exposed skin Martinez led the way like an arrow shot across the fieldMost of the time the grass was too tall for him to see, but he directed himself by the sun, never pausing for a momentIt took them only twenty minutes to cross the valley, and then after a short break they trudged over the hills againHere, the tall grass was welcome, for they grasped tufts of it to aid their ascent, and slowed their fall by clutching it on the downslopes of the hillsThe sun continued to beat on them Their first fear of being observed by enemy troops had ebbed in the physical demands of the march, but a new and subtler terror began to obsess themThe land extended so far, was so completely silent, that they became acutely conscious of its unexplored weight, its somnolent brooding resistanceThey remembered a rumor that natives had once lived in this portion of the island, and had died decades ago in a plague of scrub typhus, the survivors moving to another islandUntil now they had never thought about the natives except to miss their labor, but in the vast buzzing silence of the sun and the hills the men forced themselves onward in nervous spasms, halting and starting, their limbs quivering with exertionMartinez led them at a cruel pace as if pursuedEven more than the others, he was awed by the thought of the men who had lived on this island and diedIt seemed sacrilegious to him to move through this empty land disturbing the long untrampled earth Croft experienced it in a different wayThe land was foreign to him, and spawned a deep instinctive excitement at the thought that no one had trod this earth for many yearsHe had always known land well; he knew by heart every rock outcropping on every hill for miles about his father's ranch, and this country, unexplored, appealed to him deeplyEach new vista that the summit of a hill might furnish him was gratify (Comment on this)
2:30 am	@@@@@And when at night he sits on one of the @@@@@And when at night he sits on one of the stoops and talks to the youths with whom he grew up, whom he has watched play stick ball and touch football on the streets for many years, there is a difference between them and him Look at the knockers on her, Murray says Joey smiles uncomfortably, sits among the dozen other youths on the stoop, watches the foliage of the Brooklyn trees rustle in contented bourgeois rhythms over his head She got a rich father, Riesel says And two steps farther down, they are arguing about batting averagesWhadeya mean? I know, ya wanta bet on it? Listen, that was the day I woulda made sixteen bucks if Brooklyn wonI had Hack Wilson picked for two for five to bring him up to 81 and Brooklyn to win, and he did three for four only they dropped it to the Cubs 7-2 and I lostWhadeya handing me ya want to bet on it? Goldstein's cheek muscles are tired from the stupid outsider grinHow come you didn't go with us to the Giant doubleheader? Oh, I don't know, somehow I never can concern myself properly with baseball Another girl wiggles by in the Brooklyn gloaming, and Riesel, the card, stalks after her, moving like an apeWheeeeeeh, he whistles, and her heels tap in the coquettish mating sounds of the bird flying away for only this night What bumpers on her You don't belong to the Panthers, do you, Joey? says the girl sitting next to him at the party No, but I'm familiar with them all, nice fellows, he saysIn this year, his nineteenth, out of high school, he is cultivating a blond mustache which will not take I heard Larry is getting married And Evelyn too, Joey says In the middle of the cellar, in the cleared place, they are dancing sharpy style, their backsides out, their shoulders moving insolentlyIS IN THE STAR DUST OF A SONG You dance, Joey? NoA momentary anger toward all the othersThey have time to dance, time to become lawyers, time to become smoothBut it passes, is uncharacteristic, and he is merely uncomfortable again Excuse me, Lucille, he says to the hostess, but I have to go now, got to get up early, convey my fondest apologies to your mothe (Comment on this)

Yet nowhere has there been any gunfire—” “What’s he shouting about?” asked Jason, turning to Benjamin “He’s trying to convince them it is—or was—an earthquakeThey don’t believe him; they think it’s an invasionHe’s telling them it couldn’t be because there’s been no gunfire “Gunfire?” “That’s his proofNobody’s shooting at anybody and they sure as hell would be if there was an armed attackNo gunshots, no attack?” Bourne suddenly grabbed the young Soviet and spun him around“Tell him to stop!
