@@@@@Minetta was in poor condition from his week @@@@@Minetta was in poor condition from his week in the hospital, and Roth had never been very strongThe long march up the river had fagged them brutally; overtired, the rest periods did them little good and laboring on the trail was tortureAfter thirty seconds, after three or four slashes with his machete, Roth was unable to raise his armThe machete felt heavy as an axHe lifted it with both hands, dropped it feebly on the branch or vine before himEvery half minute, the knife slipped out of his sweating nerveless fingers and went clattering to the ground Minetta's fingers had begun to blister and the handle of the machete rasped against his palm, rubbed sweat into all the sores on his handHe would attack a bush violently and clumsily, forcing himself into a rage at its stubbornness, and then he would halt, winded, cursing between his sobs at the dank pappy mesh of verdure before himHe and Roth worked side by side, cramped together in the narrow aisle of the trailIn their exhaustion they often blundered against each other, and Minetta would swear with irritationThey disliked each other as intensely as they hated the jungle, the patrol, and CroftMinetta brooded because Croft was not working; it became the crux of his bitterness"It's easy enough for that goddam Croft to tell us what to do, but he ain't doin' itI don't see him working his ass off," Minetta muttered"If I was a platoon sergeant, I wouldn't treat the guys like thatI'd be right with them, working Ridges and Goldstein were standing about five yards behind themThe four men made up one of the teams, and theoretically they were supposed to divide their five-minute shiftBut after an hour or two, Goldstein and Ridges were working for three minutes and then four minutesWatching Minetta and Roth hack with their machetes, Ridges was indignant"Shoot," he would reprove them, "ain't you city fellers ever learned to use a little ol' knife like that?"

I looked around for my new friends and didn't see them anywhere Not that there was much time to lookThe congratulations seemed endless, both on my talk and on the slidesAt least I didn't have to deal with any extended critiques of my technique, because the actual paintings (plus a few sketches in colored pencil for good measure) were squirreled away in two of the large back rooms, 594 safely under lock and keyAnd the secret of avoiding getting smashed at your reception if you're a one-armed man, I was discovering, was to constantly keep a bacon-wrapped shrimp in your remaining paw Mary Ire came by and asked if we were still on for our interview"Although I don't know what else I can tell youI think I said it all this evening "Oh, we'll think of a few things," she said, and damned if she didn't tip me a wink from behind her nineteen-fifties-style cat's-eye glasses as she handed her champagne flute back to one of the circulating waiters "You bet," I said, restraining an urge to tell her that if she was going to speak French, she'd have to wait until I was wearing my Manet beretShe wafted off, kissing Dario on one cheek before slipping out into the fragrant March night Jack came over, snagging a couple of champagne flutes on the wayJuanita, my housekeeper, looking trim and chic in a little pink suit, was with himShe took a skewered shrimp, but refused 595 the champagneHe held out the glass to me instead, waiting until I swallowed the last of my hors d'oeuvre and took itThen he clinked his own against it "Congrats, boss - you rocked the houseA critic I can actually understand I swallowed the champagne (a swallow per flute is all there was) and turned to Juanita "You look absolutely beautifulEdgar," she said, and glanced around "These pictures are nice, but yours are much bet | | Sunday, December 26th, 2010 | | 3:18 am |
