Rabbit, Run
“He seems unreal to Rabbit, everything seems unreal that is outside of his sensations. His palms tingle; a strange impression of pressure darts over his body, seizing now his legs, now the base of his neck. His armpits itch the way they used to when he was little and late for school, running up Jackson Road.“Where’s her parents?” he asks Eccles.Eccles looks surprised. “I don’t know. I’ll ask the sister.” He moves to get up.“No no, sit still for Chrissake.” Eccles’ acting like he half-owns the pl...ace annoys him. Harry wants to be unnoticed; Eccles makes noise. He rattles the magazine so it sounds like he’s tearing orange crates apart. And flips cigarettes around like a juggler.A woman in white, not a man, comes into the waiting-room and asks Sister Bernard, “Did I leave a can of furniture polish in here? I can’t find it anywhere. A green can, with one of those pushy things on top that makes it spritz.”“No, dear.”She looks for it and goes out and after a minute comes back and announces, “Well that’s the mystery of the world.”To the distant music of pans, wagons, and doors, one day turns through midnight into another.MoreLess
