NEVER ASK the Eind NEVER ASK THE EiND ! I lsi" BEL PAT~RSON ! I I NEW YORK 1933 THE LITERARY GUILD Copyright, 1933 By Isabel M. Paterson Published by William Morrow & Co. Printed in the U. S. A. TO ELISABETH SANXAY HOLDING FOR HER. LONG-SUFFERING SYMPATHY lVilliom, lend m.e 10UT hunting knife; This house is hollow to defend. My fathers led a dolorous tife: Never ask the end. From tf. ·Ltnnent from the Breton. ELINOR WYLIE CHAPTER I "HE'LL hate having me wished on him. You can say I had another engagement." Marta thought, if it were anyone but Pauline she would drive me mad. But she was always like that, and somehow one doesn't mind her moods and nerves. It's her voice, so light and quick and gay, no matter what she says it sounds rather amusing. Not a nagging voice, there's something witty in JUSt the tone of it. That hasn't changed. Like a breeze fluttering a curtain; most people's minds are shut-dead air. She was perfectly beautiful~ though I don't believe she knew it. Nattier painted the type over and over; I must find a Nattier for her; there should be one in the Louvre. The same delicate long nose and clove-pink mouth, that lift of the upper lip, and the unbroken line of her cheek and chin, drawn with one stroke. Her shoulders were perfect; I never saw a more beautiful body. Not even Alma. Except her hands and feet; Alma has such pretty bare feet. Keith was the only other person I ever knew who had smooth shapely feet like a child. Wasted on a man ... Only her back is as lovely as ever. The in- 2 NEVER ASK THE END nocent and the beautiful h(Jv~ no ~nemy but time. Her hair seems even blacker, Indian black. It's the Scotch blood; her eyes are the color of cairngorms, and the classic almond shape; but you can see she's cried so nluch •.• By her mouth, the contour of her face­ Isadora Duncan's face went like that. It's queer; the children, too .•. I wouldn't; I ran away. When you're the odd one of nine, that's enough; you can't go on with it. But then you run into something else. Maybe it all comes to the same thing in the end; what­ ever you do, you're just yourself; though I'd sooner have gone on the street-no, but a scrubwoman, any kind of work· ... "Don't be a goop. He invited you; said he'd be de­ lighted," Marta repeated. "Why should he? A middle-aged woman from the Middle West." Accuracy was sacrificed to the phrase. "Well, Russ is a middle-aged man from the Middle West," which was true. ((Wait and meet him. Then if you'd rather not come, you can make your own excuse. You'111ike Russ. He's nice." "He's your friend; it's you he wants to see." "We belonged to the same crowd. But he was Nonie Macray's beau,' ,not mine. I haven't seen him for six years. He went to China for the company, and after­ ward they sent him over here. He told Nonie to tell me to look him up; that's all." She thought: neither of us ever said a word about that night coming back from Brooklyn, in Alma's car. NEVER ASK THE END 3 It was disgraceful ... I wonder if he did go to the Waldorf next morning? For breakfast~ at twelve o'clock ... I didn't; I was afraid he wouldn't be there. And if he had, I wouldn't have known what ... Alma said he wouldn't. I suppose Alma could hear the non­ sense we talked; Nonie had a pretty good idea of it, I'm sure. It doesn't matter now. Good heavens, it's seven, no, over eight years ago. When he took me home from Alma's, months afterward, he asked me if I wanted supper at a restaurant. I meant to explain, find out-what was I going to explain? that I did mean it or didn't? both-I wished we were friends-but we just made conversation, hardly looked at one another; it seemed to me that whatever I said would make it worse, for maybe te hadn't even remembered it next morning, or would rather not be reminded. And that was the only time we met except in a crowd. Well, one does a lot of fool things, and it's so long ago .•. He's probably got a girl over here; why not? ... I'd better hurry. She had nothing to wear, after ten days in Paris. It was ridiculous, 'insane. The new styles were impos­ sible; just her luck. She would have to give away that purple flowered mistake. There was nothing for it but her old white one, washed to a rag. And the straw hat, all wilted by the sea-air. White looks cool and clean, at least.... My face, she mused before the mirror, is a wreck. Not the kind that wears well after thirty. From five to twenty-five there was hardly any differ- ... NEVER ASK THE END ence-that old photograph, all the family in a row, and me scowling in cross-barred muslin and a broken-necked carnation pinned to it, with mamma holding up my head ... When I had any color it wasn't too bad, a moon face, but I was always pale. Alma)s features are modelled right on the bone; that's why she stays so young. I don't think I look as old as Pauline; but then I wouldn't think so. People don't see themselves; they don't want to. The lines around my eyes come out when I laugh. And under my chin-l wonder if they really can do anything-not that stretched, mummy effect-I guess not .•• I hate growing old. I hate it. Death is nothing. I wasn't beautiful like Pauline, but sort of a cute snub-nosed brat. Since I've had some­ thing to eat my figure is better-it never was much and legs are so important-but if I put on any more I'll probably have a double chin; I simply can't endure it. Pauline was already dressed, in navy georgette, the type of gown that abounds at women's club receptions; she had no sense of her own style. She put on her hat and walked about restlessly. The telephone buzzed. "Yes, please ask Mr. Girard to come up." Hearing the click of the elevator grille, Marta ran out, knotting her sash hurriedly. She did want to meet him alone, though there was no reason. Only for a minute. Pauline would never have forgiven her for a solitary evening. Besides, it would be mean. You could always manage Pauline with a little patience, saying very well but wait and see, try it, then if you don't want to you needn't ... NEVER ASK THE END 5 If she hadn't been like that, worn me down when I wanted to brood over my broken heart, I'd never have married Keith .•.I lost my head, went cuckoo sud­ denly ... Dusk had crept through the hall; perhaps it was that that made such a friendly atmosphere, through which they moved toward one another, making it natural and simple for him to put his arm around her, while she lifted her face spontaneously for his light kiss. "I'm so glad to see you," the words chimed as· they spoke at once. "Nonie said you'd got fat," she exclaimed, "but you haven't." Then she was sorry; she shouldn't have quoted NO,nie. It sounded catty. No, he was just perceptibly heavier; he walked like a tired man, but he had not thickened at the waist-line. Of middle 'height, with the smooth unrevealing features of the business man, there was nothing distinctive about him except that his eyes should have been dark, and they were not. His mouth was expressive in its reserve; the full lips closed firmly, sensual and sweet •.. She thought, he has a cold, isn't feeling very well ..• She made- the introduction with the brevity char­ acteristic of a nation without titles or labels, which has almost dropped the last perfunctory honorific, leaving everything to private judgment. Pauline Gardiner, Russell Girard, Marta Brown ••• As is, no commit­ tals ... Pauline sat down with decision. She had always the air of a great lady, wherever she had got it. She be- 6 NEVER ASK THE END longed wonderfully with the traditional French in­ terior, the brocaded armchairs, tall windows, and heavy crimson damask curtains. I don't, thought Marta, slip­ ping on her rings and despairing over her hat; but where would I? ... No, they had not dined in the Bois; it would be heavenly. Pauline had almost per­ ished of the heat. "If I tell her again it's nothing to New York, she'll kill me. You tell her how much hotter it is in Italy." He had come up from Milan. He smiled, and refrained. "I'm ready," Marta an­ nounced, and sprung a friendly trap. "Now you are coming, Pauline? ... She was fussing about being gooseberry." "Of course she is coming," Russ said in his kind, grave VOIce. "Try to stop me," Pauline said. Armenonville? They had been there for ices. "But we passed a place called l'Ermitage," Marta stumbled over the pronunciation, "that looked even better.

  • For the Thrill of It: Leopold, Loeb, and the Murder That Shocked Jazz Age
    For the Thrill of It Leopold, Loeb, and the Murder That Shocked Chicago Simon Baatz The problem I thus pose is…what type of man shall be bred, shall be willed, for being higher in value…. This higher type has appeared often—but as a fortunate accident, as an exception, never as something willed…. Success in individual cases is constantly encountered in the most widely different places and cultures: here we really do find a higher type that is, in relation to mankind as a whole, a kind of superman. Such fortunate accidents of great success have always been possible and will perhaps always be possible. Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist, Sections 3, 4 “I’m reminded of a little article you wrote, ‘On Crime,’ or something like that, I forget the exact title. I had the pleasure of reading it a couple of months ago in the Periodical.” “My article? In the Periodical Review?” Raskolnikov asked in surprise…. Raskolnikov really hadn’t known anything about it…. “That’s right. And you maintain that the act of carrying out a crime is always accompanied by illness. Very, very original, but personally that wasn’t the part of your article that really interested me. There was a certain idea slipped in at the end, unfortunately you only hint at it, and unclearly…. In short, it contains, if you recall, a certain reference to the notion that there may be certain kinds of people in the world who can…I mean not that they are able, but that they are endowed with the right to commit all sorts of crimes and excesses, and the law, as it were, was not written for them.

  • New Entry of Record Labels in the Music Industry
    Start Me Up: New Entry of Record Labels in the Music Industry Master Thesis MSc Business Administration Management and Entrepreneurship in the Creative Industries Faculty of Economics and Business, Amsterdam Business School Myra Alice Wilhelmina Ruers - 11903929 Supervisor: Dr. M. Piazzai 21st of June 2018 Statement of Originality This document is written by Student Myra Ruers, who declares to take full responsibility for the contents of this document. I declare that the text and the work presented in this document is original and that no sources other than those mentioned in the text and its references have been used in creating it. The Faculty of Economics and Business is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. 2 Abstract The music industry is extremely vibrant, diverse, and inherently uncertain. Record labels are the main intermediaries in this industry, facilitating the connection between the creative input from musicians and the demand from the consumers. Due to many technological advancements, the barriers to entry have decreased significantly, hence making it easier to enter this industry as a new record label. Additionally, strategic integration options allow existing firms to start new ventures by acquiring or initiating subsidiaries. This research focuses on the multiple modes through which new entry can be commenced. These entry modes all have their own characteristics and consequences for the configurations of the industry. The likelihood of entry, the subsequent performance of new record labels, and the effects on the diversity of the output are the main topics that are explored. In this study, databases storing longitudinal information on musical releases are used to compile a dataset with the necessary information on new record labels.

    Praise for CORMAC McCARTHY “McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly—envied.” —Ralph Ellison “McCarthy is a born narrator, and his writing has, line by line, the stab of actuality. He is here to stay.” —Robert Penn Warren “Mr. McCarthy has the best kind of Southern style, one that fuses risky eloquence, intricate rhythms and dead-to-rights accuracy.” —The New York Times “Cormac McCarthy is a Southerner, a born storyteller, a writer of natural, impeccable dialogue, a literary child of Faulkner … capable of black, reasonable comedy at the heart of his tragedy.” —New Republic “[McCarthy’s] lyrical prose never sacrices necessary economies [and his] sense of the tragic is almost unerring.” —Times Literary Supplement (London) The author wishes to express his gratitude to The American Academy of Arts and Letters, The Rockefeller Foundation, and The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Dear friend now in the dusty clockless hours of the town when the streets lie black and steaming in the wake of the watertrucks and now when the drunk and the homeless have washed up in the lee of walls in alleys or abandoned lots and cats go forth highshouldered and lean in the grim perimeters about, now in these sootblacked brick or cobbled corridors where lightwire shadows make a gothic harp of cellar doors no soul shall walk save you. Old stone walls unplumbed by weathers, lodged in their striae fossil bones, limestone scarabs rucked in the oor of this once inland sea. Thin dark trees through yon iron palings where the dead keep their own small metropolis.

  • A1the Eye in Detail
    A. The Eye A1. Eye in detail EYE ANATOMY A guide to the many parts of the human eye and how they function. The ability to see is dependent on the actions of several structures in and around the eyeball. The graphic below lists many of the essential components of the eye's optical system. When you look at an object, light rays are reflected from the object to the cornea , which is where the miracle begins. The light rays are bent, refracted and focused by the cornea, lens , and vitreous . The lens' job is to make sure the rays come to a sharp focus on the retina . The resulting image on the retina is upside-down. Here at the retina, the light rays are converted to electrical impulses which are then transmitted through the optic nerve , to the brain, where the image is translated and perceived in an upright position! Think of the eye as a camera. A camera needs a lens and a film to produce an image. In the same way, the eyeball needs a lens (cornea, crystalline lens, vitreous) to refract, or focus the light and a film (retina) on which to focus the rays. If any one or more of these components is not functioning correctly, the result is a poor picture. The retina represents the film in our camera. It captures the image and sends it to the brain to be developed. The macula is the highly sensitive area of the retina. The macula is responsible for our critical focusing vision. It is the part of the retina most used.

  • Typologies of Black Male Sensitivity in R&B and Hip
    Chaney and Mincey: Typologies of Black Male Sensitivity in R&B and Hip Hop JOURNAL OF HIP HOP STUDIES . Typologies of Black Male Sensitivity in R&B and Hip Hop Cassandra Chaney and Krista D. Mincey Abstract A qualitative content analysis was conducted on the lyrics of 79 R&B and Hip Hop songs from 1956-2013 to identify the ways that these Black male artists expressed sensitivity. The songs were determined by Billboard Chart Research Services, and Phenomenology provided the theoretical foundation on which the themes were identified. Qualitative analysis of the lyrics revealed Black male sensitivity in R&B and Hip Hop to be based on the following four typologies: (a) Private Sensitivity; (b) Partnered Sensitivity; (c) Perceptive Sensitivity; and (d) Public Sensitivity. Private Sensitivity occurred when the Black male is alone; feels lonely; disguises or hides his tears from his romantic partner or others; and expresses a determination to not cry and/or continue crying. Partnered Sensitivity occurred when the Black male encourages and/or connects with his romantic partner, other men, and/or members of the Black community through crying. Perceptive Sensitivity was demonstrated when Black men acknowledge the tears shed by others, and shed tears themselves while being conscious of society’s expectation that men suppress emotion and/or refrain from crying. Public Sensitivity was exemplified when the Black male cries publicly and verbally expresses that he does not care what others think of him.
