?Holy shit,? interrupted the short trucker?That?s the Bronk?s wife! She?s way off course
?Off course? The Bronk??
?He trucks the eastern routes, not theseWhat the hell is she doing here??
?I think she?s trying to avoid him

"Yes, sir
Dalleson and Stacey were scrabbling on the floor picking up the portions of the map that had torn in the fallHearn looked at Cummings, his eyes expressionless, and then stooped down for the overlay "Does it hurt, sir?" His voice was flatly solicitous "It's all right, thank you
In the tent, the heat had become even more oppressiveCummings felt a little faint"After you get the map fixed, will you take care of that movement, Major," he said "Yes, sir," Dalleson said from the floor Cummings stepped outside, leaning against the corner pole for a few secondsThe night air was almost cold against his wet clothingHe looked about and then kneaded his shin tenderly before limping across the bivouac He had extinguished the Coleman lantern in his own tent before leaving, and he lay down on his cot in the darkness, and stared at the dim outlines of the tentLike a cat his eyes reflected some light, and a man entering the tent would have been able to discern them in the darkness before he could see anything elseHis shin was throbbing powerfully now, and his stomach felt a little upsetThe crack of the map-board against his legs had unseated all the disorders that the tension and absorption of the past two months had spawnedHis flesh crawled as if he had a scabies, and his body was laved with an unreasonable sweatHe was familiar with the process, called it "coming apart at the seams," and it had happened to him at Motome, and at specific times in the pastIt was a demand his body exacted of him and with a passive, almost a submissive acceptance, Cummings would let it have its course, allowed his mind to follow in its wake for a miserable hour or two, and then always he would recover from it in a night's sleep, feel refreshed and puissant by the following morning This time he took a mild sedative, and fell asleep in less than an hourWhen he awakened it was still dark, but he felt restless, and his mind was extremely activ

A car drove slowly down the side of the parking lotWe sat silent until it had passedI should have started running, but? my friend was sale gucci handbags dying there on the iceBecause
of that hesitation, I would have died, too, if the claw beast hadn't been distractedI found out

was like a blizzardThe lack of black chanel tote visibility would help us escapeHe didn't know it was already

and someone else, not her, knew what was behind itShe went in to wake Granny"Time to get up," she

Nor is it entirely circularI cannot be sure, but it seems to
cast a perceptible shadow, suggesting that if I ran my finger down that
strip of the wall it would, at a certain point, mount and descend a small
tumulus, a smooth tumulus like those barrows on the South Downs which
are, they say, either tombs or campsOf the two I should prefer them to
be tombs, desiring melancholy like most English people, and finding it
natural at the end of a walk to think of the bones stretched beneath the
turfThere must be some book about itSome antiquary must have dug
up those bones and given them a nameWhat sort of a man is an
antiquary, I wonder? Retired Colonels for the most part, I daresay,
leading parties of aged labourers to the top here, examining clods of
earth and stone, and getting into correspondence with the neighbouring
clergy, which, being opened at breakfast time, gives them a feeling of
importance, and the comparison of arrow-heads necessitates cross-country
journeys to the county towns, an agreeable necessity both to them and to
their elderly wives, who wish to make plum jam or to clean out the study,
and have every reason for keeping that great question of the camp or the
tomb in perpetual suspension, while the Colonel himself feels agreeably
philosophic in accumulating evidence on both sides of the questionIt is
true that he does finally incline to believe in the camp

people looking upward with their mouths hanging
openAll around, people started crying or wailing or
grinning in reliefThen all at once everyone started to
hurry, moving fast toward the safety of home in case it
should happen again
Lina ran toward Greengate Square, stopping
everyone she passed"Did you see a little girl walking
by herself just before the lights went out?" she asked"Green jacket with a hood?" But no one wanted to
listen to her
On the Bee Street chanel 2.55 bag side of the square stood a few
people all talking at once and waving their armsLina
ran up to them and asked her question
They stopped talking and stared at her"How
could we have seen anyone? The lights were out,"
said Nammy Proggs, a tiny old woman whose back

look up
Lina said, "No, she wandered away before the lights

"You have to keep your eye on a baby," Nammy

"Babies need watching," said one of the women

But miu miu nappa someone else said, "Oh, a toddler? Green

into loud wails"You're all right now," said Lina, holding
her tightly"Don't worry, sweetieYou were just lost
a moment, now you're all rightI've got you, don't
worry When she looked up to thank the person who'd
found her, she saw a face she recognizedHe looked the same as when she'd last seen him, except that his hair was shaggierHe had on the same chanel handbag 2.55 baggy
brown jacket he always wore
"She was marching up the street by herself," he
said"No one knew who she belonged to, so I took her
into my father's shop
"She belongs to me," Lina saidI was so afraid when she was lostI thought she
might fall and hurt herself, or be knocked over,

or Anyway, thank you so much for rescuing her
"Anyone would have," said DoonHe frowned and
looked down at the pavement
Poppy had calmed down and was curled up
against Lina's chest with her thumb in her mouth"And your job--how is it?" Lina asked"The
Pipeworks?"
Doon shrugged his big chanel shoulders"Interesting, anyway
She waited, but it seemed that was all he was going
to say"Well, thank you again," she saidShe hoisted
Poppy around to her back
"Lucky for you Doon Harrow was around," said
Nammy Proggs, who'd been watching them with her
sideways glare"He's a good-hearted boyAnything

Nammy hesitated a...
"Do

Nammy hesitated a moment, and then she said,
"Went off to the trash heaps just a minute ago The
guard nodded curtly and beckoned to his companions
Spreading vicious rumors! Doon was so stunned that he stood still as stone for a long minuteWhat
could they possibly mean? But there was only one
answerIt had to be what they'd told the assistant
guard about the mayorWhy were they calling it a
vicious rumor? It was the truth! He didn't understand
it
He did understand, though, that Nammy Proggs
had done him a favorShe must have seen that the
guards meant him no goodShe had protected him, at
least for the moment, by sending the guards to the
wrong place
Doon forced his mind to slow chanel sac down and thinkWhy did the guards think he and Lina were lying?
Obviously, they hadn't investigated the room in
Tunnel 351If they had, they'd have known he and
Lina were telling the truth
He could think of only one other possibilityThe
guards--at least some of them--already knew what
200
the mayor was doingThey knew about it and wanted
it to stay a secretAnd why? It was clear: the guards,
too, were getting things from the storerooms
It had to be the answerFor a moment, the fear
he'd felt when he saw the guards was replaced by rageThe familiar hot wave rose in him, and he wanted to
grab a handful of his father's nails or pot shards and
throw them against the wallBut all at once he remembered:
if chanel 2.55 the guards were after him, they'd be after
Lina, tooHe dashed down the
stairs, his anger turning into power for his running
feet
After discovering the room full of boats, Lina had
come home to MrsMurdo's with the sound of the
river still in her earsIt was like a huge, powerful voice,
roaring at the top of its lungsDeep inside herself
Lina felt an answering call, as if she, too, contained a
drop of the same powerShe would ride on the river-- she could hardly believe it--and it might take her to
the shining city she had dreamed of, or it might
drown herWhat she had imagined before--the
smooth, gently sloping path leading out--now seemed
childishHow could the way into a new world be so
easy? She dreaded going on sac kelly hermes the river, but she was ready
for it, too
She slept that night in the beautiful blue-green
room, in the big, lumpy bed with Poppy next to her
201
She felt safe hereMurdo came in and tucked the
covers around herShe sat on the edge of the bed and
sang an odd little song to Poppy--something about
rock-a-bye baby, in the treetops"What are treetops?"
Lina asked, but Mrs"It's a very
old song," she said"It's probably nonsense words
She said good night and went out into the living
room, where Lina could hear her humming quietly
as she tidied upShe never left
her stockings draped over the back of a chair, or her
sewing spread out all over the tableLina closed her
eyes and waited for sleep
But her chanel white purse thoughts kept tumbling aroundSo much
was going to happen tomorrow--the whole city would
be in an uproarPeople would stream down into the
Pipeworks to see the boatsThey'd be excited, shouting
and laughing and crying, packing up their belongings,
and surging through the streetsIf they couldn't all fit
into the boats, there would be fightsSome people
might get hurtIt was going to be a messShe'd have to
keep her little family close around her--Poppy, MrsMurdo, and Doon, and perhaps Doon's father and
ClaryThrough it all, she would hold tight to Poppy so
no harm could come to her
It seemed she had barely closed her eyes when she felt

So Siddhartha took the little lamb with the wounded leg up into his arms, gently caressing it while walking along behind the flockWhen he saw the shepherds, he asked: 'Where are you driving this herd to? They should normally be driven back in the evening! Why do you drive them back at noontime?' The shepherds replied: 'The King is holding a big sacrifice today, and we have been ordered to bring one hundred sheep and goats each to the city at noontime' Siddhartha said: 'I'll go with you' He carried the little lamb in his arms all the way to the cityWalking behind the flock of sheep, Siddhartha reached the city
For a few minutes there was silence, and
then,...
For a few minutes there was silence, and
then, far away but piercingly clear, he heard a screamMore screams and shouts followed, the sounds of
panicHe felt the panic himself, like a hand taking hold
of him, making him want to leap up and fling himself
against the dark
But suddenly, with a flash of joy, he remembered:
he didn't have to wait for the lights to come back onHe had what no citizen of Ember had ever had
before--a way to see in the darkHe set his pack down,
untied the knot at the top, and groped around inside
until he felt the candleDown in a corner, he found the
little packet of matchesHe scraped a match against
the pavement, and it flared up instantlyHe held the
flame to the string on the candle, and the string began
to burnHe had the only light in the
entire city
The twiggy balenciaga candle didn't cast its light very far, but it was
enough to see at least the pavement in front of himHe
went slowly along Pott Street, then turned left on
North StreetAt the end of the street was the wall of
the Pipeworks office
When he got to the Pipeworks entrance, no one
was thereA little cloud of moths came to flutter
around the flame of his candle, but otherwise nothing
229
moved in Plummer SquareThere was nothing to do
but waitDoon blew the candle out--he didn't want to
use it all up in case the lights stayed off a long time-- and squatted down on the pavement, setting down his
bundle and leaning against one of the big trash cansHe waited, listening to the distant shouts--and at last
the lights blinked, blinked again, and came on
Lina was nowhere in sightIf the guards had seamaster de ville found
her and taken herBut Doon preferred not to think
about that yetHe would wait for a white--she would
have been delayed by the blackout if she was on her
wayHe couldn't see the clock tower from here, but it
was probably not quite four o'clock
What if she didn't come? The Singing was over, the
people were dispersing throughout the city, and the
guards, no doubt, would soon resume their search for
himDoon clasped his arms together and pressed
them hard against his stomach, trying to stop the
queasy fluttering
If she didn't come, Doon had two choices: he
could stay in the city and do what he could to save
Lina, or he could go in the boat by himself and hope
Lina could somehow free herself and tell the people of
Ember about the way outHe didn't like either of these
plans

Clary said, "Hmmm," and then she said, "Where

Clary just shrugged her shoulders"I don't know,"
she said"I have to get back to work She handed Lina the bean seed, took a little pot
from a shelf, scooped some dirt into it, and handed the
pot to Lina, too"Stick the bean in here and water it
every day," she said"It looks like nothing, like a little
white stone, but inside it there's lifeThat must be a
sort of clue, don't you think? If we could just figure it
out
Lina took the seed wholesale tiffany and the pot"Thank you," she
saidShe wanted to give Clary a hug but didn't, in case
it would embarrass herInstead, she just said goodbye

CHAPTER 5
On Knight Street
Granny's mind was getting more and more muddledLina would come home in the evenings and find her
rifling through the kitchen cupboards, surrounded by
cans and jars with their lids off, or tearing the covers
off her bed and trying to lift up the mattress with her
skinny arms"It was an important thing," she would
say, "the thing that was lost
"But if you don't know what it was," said Lina,
"how will you know when you've found it?"
Granny didn't try to answer this questionShe just
flapped her hands at Lina and said, "Never chanel pearl necklace mind, never
mind, never mind," and kept on searchingMurdo spent a great deal of time
sitting by their window rather than her ownShe
would tell Granny she was just coming to keep her
company"I don't want her to keep me company,"

Granny complained to Lina, and Lina said, "Maybe
she's lonely, Granny
Lina rather liked having MrsMurdo around--it
was a bit like having a mother thereShe wasn't anything
like Lina's own mother, who had been a dreamy,
absent-minded sort of personMurdo was
mother-like in quite a different wayShe made sure
they all ate a good breakfast in the morning--usually
potatoes with mushroom gravy and beet teaShe lined
up the vitamin pills by each person's plate and made
sure they were swallowedMurdo dolce

Lina, get him some water
Lina found a cup and filled it from the sink in the
cornerSadge took it with a shaking hand and drank it
down
"What were you looking for?" Lina askedShe
knew what she would have been looking for if she'd
gone out thereShe'd thought about it countless times
Sadge stared at herHe seemed to have to puzzle
over her questionFinally he said, "I was looking for
something that could help us
"What would it be?"
"I don't knowLike a stairway that leads some
64
where, maybeOr a building full of I don't know,
useful things
"But you didn't find anything? Or see anything?"
Lina asked, disappointed
"Nothing! Nothing! devil wears prada chanel necklace There is nothing out there!"
His voice became a shout and his eyes looked wild
again"Or if there is, we can never get to itNever! Not
without a light He took a long, shaky breathFor a
while he stared at the floor"I think
I'm all right now
With uncertain steps, he went down the path and
out the door
"Well," said Clary"I'm sorry that happened while
you were hereI was afraid you might be scared, that's
why I told you to go
But Lina was full of questions, not fearShe had
heard tales of people who tried to go out into the
Unknown RegionsShe had thought about it herself-- in fact, she'd wondered the same things as SadgeShe
had imagined making her way out gucci clearance into the dark and
coming to a wall in which she would find the door to
a tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel would be the
other city, the city of light that she had dreamed aboutAll it would take was the courage to walk away from
Ember and into the darkness, and then to keep going
It might have been possible if you could carry a
light to show the wayBut in Ember, there was no such
65
thing as a light you could carry with youOutside
lights were fixed to their poles, or to the roofs of
houses

"My cook will have bought the Evening News," said Castalia, "and Ann will

"It's no good--not a bit of good," I said"Once she knows how to read
there's only one thing you can teach her to believe in--and that is
herself
"Well, that would be a change," sighed Castalia
So we swept up the papers of our Society, and, though Ann was playing
with her doll very happily, we solemnly made her a present of the lot and
told her we had chosen her to be President of the Society of the
future--upon which she burst into tears, poor little girl

They carried bundles, all of them: sacks made of
what looked like tablecloths or blankets gathered up
and tied with string around the neckThey moved
clumsily and slowlySome of them tripped on the
uneven ground and had to be helped up by others
In the center of the field, where the smell of new
cabbages and fresh dirt and chicken manure was
strong, those at the front of the crowd of strangers met
the village leadersMary Waters stepped to the front,
and the villagers crowded up behind herTorren, being
small, wriggled between people until he had a good
viewHe stared at the ragged peopleWhere were their
leaders? Facing Mary were a girl and chanel jumbo a boy who looked
only a little older than he was himselfNext to them
was a bald man, and next to him a sharp-eyed woman
holding a small childMaybe she was the leader
But when Mary stepped forward and said, "Who
are you?" it was the boy who answeredHe spoke in a
clear, loud voice that surprised Torren, who had
expected a pitiful voice from someone so bedraggled"We come from the city of Ember," the boy said"We
left there because our city was dying
Mary, Ben, and Wilmer exchanged glances"The city of Ember? Where's that? We've
never heard of it"
The boy gestured back the way they had come, to
the east "That way," he said"It's under the louis vuitton purses ground
The frowns deepened"Tell us the truth," said Ben,
"not childish nonsense
This time the girl spoke upShe had long, snarled
hair with bits of grass caught in it"It isn't a lie" she
saidOur city was undergroundWe didn't
know it until we came out
Ben snorted impatiently, folding his arms across
his chest "Who is in charge here?" He looked at the
bald man"Is it you?"
The bald man shook his head and gestured toward
the boy and the girl"They're as in charge as anyone,"
he said"The mayor of our city is no longer with usThese young people are speaking the truthWe have
come out of a city built underground
The people around him all buy chanel bags nodded and murmured,
"Yes" and "It's true
"My name is Doon Harrow," said the boy"And
this is Una MayfleetWe found the way out of Ember
He thinks he's pretty great, thought Torren, hearing
a note of pride in the boy's voiceHe didn't look so
greatHis hair was shaggy, and he was wearing an old
jacket that was coming apart at the seams and grimy at
the cuffsBut his eyes shone out confidently from
under his dark eyebrows
"We're hungry," the boy saidWill
you help us?"
Mary, Ben, and Wilmer stood silent for a momentThen Mary took Ben and Wilmer by the arms and led
them aside a few stepsThey whispered to each other,
glanced up at the great quilted chanel bag swarm of strangers, frowned,
whispered some moreWhile he waited to hear what
they'd say, Torren studied the people who said they
came from undergroundThey did in fact look as if they
had crawled up out of a holeMost of them were
scrawny and pale, like the sprouts you see when you
lift up a board that's been lying on the ground,
feeble things that have tried to grow in the darkThey
huddled together, looking frightenedThey looked
exhausted, tooMany of them had sat down on the
ground now, and some had their heads in the laps of
others
The three village leaders turned again to the crowd
of strangers"How many of you are there?" Mary

"Zen Master Nan-Ch'uan was meditating in a hut next to a riverOne night he heard two ghosts conversingOne of them was rejoicing that his term was coming to an end because the next day someone would be replacing himThe second ghost asked, 'Who will be replacing you?' He replied, 'A man wearing an iron hat' The master wondered to himself who this person could beThe next day there was heavy rain and the river rose to a higher levelThe master looked out of his hut and saw a man about to cross the riverHe had covered his head with a wok (a bowl-shaped cooking utensil) for coco chanel jewelry protection against the rainImmediately, the master knew that this was the man of the iron hat, so he cautioned him saying, 'Don't cross the river today' The man asked, 'Why?'
