The Gap looming before him -- the place where had confronted Jack English on that day so many years ago -- was his exit from all that had meaning to him.

There was only one place where Jake Carwood's description had gone badly awry: the peace and quiet.

There was only one place where the mountain might receive her -- that unnamed, unnameable pool harbored in its secret bosom.

Probably his horse would be close to where he was hiding.

He wondered where the superstition had originated that it was bad luck for a crew chief to watch his plane take off on a combat mission.

Over the rapidly-diminishing outline of a jump seat piled high with luggage Herry's black brushcut was just discernible, near, or enviably near that spot where -- hidden -- more delicately-textured, most beautifully tinted hair must still be streaming back in cool, oh cool wind sweetly perfumed with sagebrush and yucca flowers and engine fumes.

How lightly her `` eventshah-leh '' passed into the crannies where I was storing dialect material for some vaguely dreamed opus, and how the word would echo.

It was a disturbingly familiar face, too, but I couldn't remember where we had met.

The keys were still in it, and I was miles away before I remembered that my clothes and purse and everything were still in the little cabana where I'd changed ''.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed again, back in the same position where the snake had found her.

She softly let herself into the bed, and took her regular side, away from the door, where she slept better because Keith was between her and the invader.

That was where he met Penny.

Now, the next morning, they were anchored at The Elbow and the boat was riding directly over the underwater ledge where the green water turned to deepest blue and the cliff dropped straight down 600 fathoms, with the weighted line beside it ; ;

And so when Miss Langford came to teach at the one-room Chestnut school, where Jack was a pupil in the eighth grade, the Woman of Jack's mind assumed the teacher's face and figure.

Once ( this was on the third day of school ) she kneeled down to pick up some books where they'd dropped on the floor and Jack looked up her dress -- at the bare expanse of incredibly white leg.

Jack walked off alone out the road in the searing midday sun, past Robert Allen's three-room, tarpapered house, toward the field where the other boys were playing ball, thinking of what he would do in order to make Miss Langford have him stay in after school -- because this was the day he had decided when he thought he saw the look in her eyes.

In his native Cologne, where his mother taught him to play the piano, he was able to read notes before he learned the alphabet.

Yet when, at war's end, the ex-Tory made the first move to resume correspondence, Jay wrote him from Paris, where he was negotiating the peace settlement:

it was mud in wet weather and dust, ankle-deep, in dry, and could be crossed only at the corner where there were stepping stones.

I was having lunch not long ago ( apologies to N. V. Peale ) with three distinguished historians ( one specializing in the European Middle Ages, one in American history, and one in the Far East ), and I asked them if they could name instances where the general mores had been radically changed with `` deliberate speed, majestic instancy '' ( Francis Thompson's words for the Hound Of Heaven's Pursuit ) by judicial fiat.

They, perhaps, gave the pitch of their position in the preface where it was said that Eisenhower requested that the Commission be administered by the American Assembly of Columbia University, because it was non-partisan.

After a year in a studio on Sheridan Square, having married an American girl who was a native of Virginia, Helion moved to a village in the Blue Ridge mountains, where he produced some of the most imposing of his abstract canvases.

She was exposing herself to temptation which it is best to avoid where it can consistently be done.

It was symbolized ( at least for those of us who recognized ourselves in the image ) by that self-consuming, elegiac candle of Edna St. Vincent Millay's, that candle which from the quatrain where she ensconced it became a beacon to us, but which in point of fact would have had to be as tall as a funeral taper to last even the evening, let alone the night.

This was a referenced to Kraven the Hunter's multiple trips to Savage Land.

In 2009, Kraven was ranked as IGN's 53rd Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.

Kraven was a founding member of the Sinister Six, and was the second foe to battle Spider-Man, fighting him at a zoo using wildcats.

It was later revealed that back in the 1950s, Kraven the Hunter was a member of Nick Fury's Avengers alongside Dominic Fortune I, Dum Dum Dugan, Namora, Silver Sable, Sabretooth, and Ulysses Bloodstone.

Although Hulk was uninterested with helping the Sasquatches deal with Kraven, he changes his mind at the last minute and beats up Kraven the Hunter.

The Chameleon was the person who initially gave Kraven the idea of hunting Spider-Man in Amazing Spider-Man # 15.

After Kraven died, the Chameleon was revealed to be Dmitri Smerdyakov and is Kraven's half-brother.

It was later revealed in a story arc concerning Ka-Zar that Kraven was trained as a hunter largely by a mysterious man named Gregor, a mercenary who battled Ka-Zar.

Sasha later stated to Kraven that Vladimir's appearance was the result of a test revival ritual to see if she can bring him back to life.

Vladimir was euthanized by Kraven ( which he does due to " respect for the dead ") in the Savage Land at the conclusion of The Grim Hunt arc.

* There was a third son as well named Ned Tannengarden who tries to kill Alyosha, but he was murdered by the Chameleon ( who during that time believed himself to be the original Kraven the Hunter ).

It was revealed during 2009's X-Men / Spider-Man crossover that years ago, Kraven made a deal with Mister Sinister.

Years later, after the death of Kraven, an ex-Morlock who had kept his powers post M-Day named Joe Buggs was murdered by a mysterious mutant hunter.

He claimed that the man who killed Buggs was Kraven the Hunter.

Despite Vin's claims that he was not Spider-Man, Kraven prepared to hunt him, but was stopped by the real Spider-Man who was wearing Daredevil's costume ( which notably had eyelids for him to be able to see ).

Due to a flaw in the ceremony that resurrected him, Kraven was given " the unlife ... the eternal curse ", as he discovered when his daughter stabbed him through the heart.

In Spider-Man Noir, Kraven is depicted as a former animal trainer in a circus that was taken by Norman Osborn, a mob boss known as " The Goblin ", as one of his hitmen and collectors.
