@@@@@Butler kept near
the garden door for protection from the sun when she went out to cut
flowersShe had wrapped yards of bright blue tulle around the crown
of the hat and tied the ends under her chin in a bow that she thought
very becomingShe had her favorite parasol with her, a saucy pale
blue flowered silk pagoda-shape with a dark blue tasselled fringeIt
kept her dull, proper brown twill walking-out costume from being so
boring, she thoughtWhat made Rhett think he could criticize
anybody
else, anyhow? He looked like a field hand, she thought, in those
beat-up old breeches and that plain shirt without so much as a collar,
never mind a proper cravat and coat
Scarlett set her jaw”You said nine o’clock, Rhett, and that’s what it
isShall we go?” Rhett made a sweeping bow, then picked up a
battered
canvas bag and slung it over his shoulders”We shall go,” he said
There was something suspicious about his voiceHe’s up to
something,
Scarlett thought, but I’m not about to let him get away with it* *
She’d had no idea that the boat was so smallOr that it would be at
the bottom of a long ladder that looked so slimy wetShe looked
accusingly at Rhett”Nearly low tide,” he said
“That’s why we had to get here by nine-thirtyAfter the tide turns at
ten, we would have a hard time getting into the harborOf course it
will be a help bringing us back up the river to dock
If you’re quite certain that you want to go
Scarlett put her white-gloved hand on one projecting rail of the ladder
and started to turn aroundShe looked up at him
with a stonily determined face”I’m not willing to let you break your
neck to spare me the trouble of taking you out for an hourThat
ladder’s very slipperyI’ll go down one rung before you to make sure
you don’t lose your footing in those foolish city bootsStand by
while I get ready

Their voices seemed to come from far awayJuanita
removed the box-topI think Jack took thatAnd
then Reba was looking up at me, this time in a red
dress instead of a blue one, but the polka-dots
were the same; so were the shiny black Mary Janes,
the lifeless red hair and the blue eyes that said
Oouuuu, you nasty man! I been in here all this
time!
Still from a great distance, Kamen was saying:
“Ilse was the one who called and suggested a doll
599
as a presentThis was after she and her sister
talked on the phone
Of course it was Ilse, I thoughtI was aware of
the steady murmur of conversation in the gallery,
like the sound of the shells under Big PinkMy Oh
gosh, how nice smile was still nailed to my face,
but if someone had poked me in the back just then,
I might have screamedIlse is the one who’s been
on Duma KeyWho’s been down the road that leads
past El Palacio
As shrewd as he was, I don’t think Kamen had any
idea that anything was wrong – but of course he’d
been traveling all day and was far from his best
Wireman, however, was looking at me with his head
cocked slightly to one side and his brow furrowed
And by then, I think Wireman knew me better than
Dr
“She knew you already had one,” Kamen was saying
“She thought a pair would remind you of both
daughters, and Melinda agreedBut of course,
Lucys are all I have-”
“Lucys?” Wireman asked, taking the dollHer pink
rag-stuffed legs dangledHer shallow eyes stared

“They look like Lucille Ball, don’t you think? I
give them to some of my patients, and of course
they give them their own namesWhat did you name
yours, Edgar?”
For a moment the old frost descended on my brain
and I thought Rhonda Robin Rachel, sit in the
buddy, sit in the chum, sit in the fucking CHAR
Then I thought, It was RED”Just like the country singer
“And do you still have her?” Kamen asked
“Oh, yes,” I said, and remembered Wireman talking
about the Powerball, how you could close your eyes
and hear the numbers falling into place: Click and
click and clickI thought I could hear that n

@@@@@So you boys go to school and get your college degreesI’ll teach you how to stay out of the trap
The pieces of the puzzle were appearingMy highly educated dad had a great education and a great careerBut school never told him how to handle money or his fearsIt became clear that I could learn different and important things from two fathers
“So you’ve been talking about the fear of not having moneyHow does the desire of money affect our thinking?” Mike asked
“How did you feel when I tempted you with a pay raise? Did you notice your desires rising?”
We nodded our heads
“By not giving in to your emotions, you were able to delay your reactions and thinkThat is most importantWe will always have emotions of fear and greedFrom here on in, it is most important for you to use those emotions to your advantage and for the long term, and not simply let your emotions run you by controlling your thinkingMost people use fear and greed against themselvesThat’s the start of ignoranceMost people live their lives chasing paychecks, pay raises and job security because of the emotions of desire and fear, not really questioning where those emotion-driven thoughts are leading themIt’s just like the picture of a donkey, dragging a cart, with its owner dangling a carrot just in front of the donkey’s noseThe donkey’s owner may be going where he wants to go, but the donkey is chasing an illusionTomorrow there will only be another carrot for the donkey
“You mean the moment I began to picture a new baseball glove, candy and toys, that’s like a carrot to a donkey?” Mike askedAnd as you get older, your toys get more expensiveA new car, a boat and a big house to impress your friends,” said rich dad with a smile”Fear pushes you out the door, and desire calls to youEnticing you toward the rocks
“So what’s the answer,” Mike ask

The sun was burning on his back, laving his body with a pleasant heatSlowly he could feel himself sinking into the earth, its warmth spreading about, supporting himAll the grass and the roots and the ground smelled of sunlight, and his mind eddied back through the images of plowed earth and steaming horses, back to the afternoon when he had sat on a stone by the side of the road, and watched the colored girl walk by, her breasts jouncing against diamond gucci her cotton frockHe tried to remember the name of the girl he was going to see that night, and began gigglingWonder if she knows Ah’m sixteen?

@@@@@ He use to tell us over and over again “An intelligent person hires people who are more intelligent than they are So Mike and I had the benefit of spending hours listening to and, in the process, learning From
intelligent people
But because of this, both Mike and I just could not go along with the standard dogma that our teachers preached, And that caused the problemsWhenever the teacher said, “If you don’t get good grades, you won’t do well in the real world,” Mike and I just raised our eyebrowsWhen we were told to follow set procedures and not deviate from the rules, we could see how this schooling process actually discouraged creativityWe started to understand why our rich dad told us that schools were designed to produce good employees instead of employers
Occasionally Mike or I would ask our teachers how what we studied was applicable, or we asked why we never studied money and how it workedTo the later question, we often got the answer that money was not important, that if we excelled in our education, the money would follow
The more we knew about the power of money, the more distant we grew from the teachers and our classmates
My highly educated dad never pressured me about my grades But we did begin to argue about moneyBy the time I was 16, I probably had a far better foundation with money than both my mom and dad I could keep books, I listened to tax accountants, corporate attorneys, bankers, real estate brokers, investors and so forth My dad talked to teachers
One day, my dad was telling me why our home was his greatest investmentA not-too-pleasant argument took place when I showed him why I thought a house was not a good investment
The following diagram illustrates the difference in perception between my rich dad and my poor dad when it came to their homesOne dad thought his house was an asset, and the other dad thought it was a liability
I remember when I drew a diagram for my dad showing him the direction of cash flow I also showed him the ancillary expenses that went along with owning the homeA bigger home meant bigger expenses, and the cash flow kept going out through the expense column
Today, I am still challenged on the idea of a house not being an assetAnd 1 know that for many people, it is their dream as well as their largest investmentAnd owning your own home is better than noth

THIS SAME night, on the other side of the mountain range, Cummings was making a tour of his positionsThe attack had been progressing favorably for a day and a half, and his line companies had advanced from a quarter to a half mileThe division was moving again, more successfully than he had expected, and the long wet month of inactivity and stagnation seemed to have endedF Company had made contact with the Toyaku Line, and according to the last report Cummings had received that afternoon, a reinforced platoon from E Company had captured a Japanese bivouac on F Company’s flankFor the next few days the attack would teeter from enemy counterattacks, but if they held, and he was going to see that they held, the Toyaku Line might be breached within two weeks
Secretly, he was a little surprised at the advanceHe had prepared the attack for over a month, hoarded his supplies, revised his battle plans from day to day through all the eventless weeks that had followed the aborted Japanese attack across the riverHe had done everything a commander could do, and yet he had been gloomy
