Why Poor Henry? Im overcome with happiness. And its true. Oh, Ive been dropping all these surprises on you like big rocks. Clare swings a leg over me so shes sitting exactly on top of my cock. It concentrates my attention wonderfully. Dont move, I sa

and see that its only 6:30. Im too restless to get back into bed. I walk into the kitchenette in search of coffee. All the counters and the stove are covered with stacks of dishes, magazines, and other reading material. Theres even a sock in the sink

The great elephants loom menacingly over me in the moonlight and I wave to them on my way to the little gift shop to the right of the main entrance. I circle the wares and find a few promising items: an ornamental letter opener, a metal bookmark with

Im mostly sober now, and reasonably alert. Time passes, nothing happens. At last: I hear a soft thud, a gasp. Silence. I wait. I stand up, silently, and pad into the Hall, walking slowly through the light that slants across the marble floor. I stand

We enter the European Galleries and make our way backward from the seventeenth-century Netherlands to fifteenth-century Spain. St. George stands poised, as always, ready to transfix his dragon with his delicate spear while the pink and green princess

【时间旅行者的妻子】43

My hand is in her purse, shes flustered, she has dark eyes and long hair, large breasts, shes still trying to lose the weight she gained having the kid. I catch her eye as I find her wallet, still apologizing, the wallet goes up my jacket sleeve, I l

Okay, heres your cookie. And I get one for being right. But we have to save them til were done looking at the book; we wouldnt want to get crumbs all over the bluebirds, right? Right! He sets the Oreo on the arm of the chair and we begin again at the

The T-shirt is warm empty cloth in my hands. I sigh, and walk upstairs to ponder the mummies for a while by myself. My young self will be home now, climbing into bed. I remember, I remember. I woke up in the morning and it was all a wonderful dream.

【时间旅行者的妻子】33

Why are you hiding? Clare is glowering at me. I toss her shoes back into the clearing. She picks them up and stands holding them like pistols. Im hiding because I lost my clothes and Im embarrassed. I came a long way and Im hungry and I dont know any

【时间旅行者的妻子】35

Clare sits down at the edge of the clearing. Etta says I shouldnt talk to strangers. Thats good advice. Silence. When are you going to disappear? When Im good and ready to. Are you bored with me? Clare rolls her eyes. What are you working on? Penmans

If I hadnt said something, you wouldnt have gotten up.... Then why did you say anything? Because I did. You will, just wait. He shrugs. Its like with Mom. The accident. Immer wieder. Always again, always the same. Free will? He gets up, walks to the

The temperature is dropping. Ten minutes ago the sky was coppery blue and there was a heavy heat over the Meadow, everything felt curved, like being under a vast glass dome, all near noises swallowed up in the heat while an overwhelming chorus of ins

You know, like telling me that I like coffee with cream and sugar before I hardly even taste it. I mean, how am I going to figure out if thats what I like or if I just like it because you tell me I like it? But Clare, its just personal taste. You sho

He is wearing Dads old jeans and a plaid flannel shirt, and he looks tired and unshaven. I left the back door unlocked for him this morning and here he is. I set the tray of food I have brought on the floor. I could bring down some books. Actually, t

【时间旅行者的妻子】71

Why did you say was? No reason. Lucille is fine. Dont worry. Hes lying. My stomach tightens and I wrap my arms around my knees and put my head down. HENRY: I cannot believe that I have made a slip of the tongue of this magnitude. I stroke Clares hair

【时间旅行者的妻子】72

CLARE: Ive been waiting all day for Henry. Im so excited. I got my drivers license yesterday, and Daddy said I could take the Fiat to Ruths party tonight. Mama doesnt like this at all, but since Daddy has already said yes she cant do much about it. I

【时间旅行者的妻子】88

I am sleepy and content. It is January in my present, and Clare and I are struggling. This summer interlude is idyllic. Clare says, Id like to draw you, just like that. Upside down and asleep? Relaxed. You look so peaceful. Why not? Go ahead. We are

and part of me doesnt want to beat up somebody whos taped to a tree. Jason is bright red. It contrasts nicely with the gray duct tape. Oh, says Clare. You know, I think thats enough. I am relieved. So of course I say, You sure? I mean there are all s

【时间旅行者的妻子】82

Thats all I need to hear. I draw the gun and step to Clares side. I point it at the guys chest. Hi, Jason, Clare says. I thought you might like to come out with us. He does the same thing I would do, drops and rolls out of range, but he doesnt do it
