Jack　smiled；　a　big　wide　PR　smile。　〃We　like　to　think　so；　I　suppose。　Hes　quite

self…reliant　for　a　five…year…old。〃

No　returning　smile　from　Ullman。　He　slipped　Jacks　application　back　into　the

file。　The　file　went　into　a　drawer。　The　desk　top　was　now　pletely　bare　except

for　a　blotter；　a　telephone；　a　Tensor　lamp；　and　an　inout　basket。　Both　sides　of

the　inout　were　empty；　too。

Ullman　stood　up　and　went　to　the　file　cabinet　in　the　corner。　〃Step　around　the

desk；　if　you　will；　Mr。　Torrance。　Well　look　at　the　floor　plans。〃

He　brought　back　five　large　sheets　and　set　them　down　on　the　glossy　walnut　plain

of　the　desk。　Jack　stood　by　his　shoulder；　very　much　aware　of　the　scent　of

Ullmans　cologne。　All　my　men　wear　English　Leather　or　they　wear　nothing　at　all

came　into　his　mind　for　no　reason　at　all；　and　he　had　to　clamp　his　tongue　between

his　teeth　to　keep　in　a　bray　of　laughter。　Beyond　the　wall；　faintly；　came　the

sounds　of　the　Overlook　Hotels　kitchen；　gearing　down　from　lunch。

〃Top　floor；〃　Ullman　said　briskly。　〃The　attic。　Absolutely　nothing　up　there　now

but　bric…a…brac。　The　Overlook　has　changed　hands　several　times　since　World　War　II

and　it　seems　that　each　successive　manager　has　put　everything　they　dont　want　up

in　the　attic。　I　want　rattraps　and　poison　bait　sowed　around　in　it。　Some　of　the

third…floor　chambermaids　say　they　have　heard　rustling　noises。　I　dont　believe

it；　not　for　a　moment；　but　there　mustnt　even　be　that　one…in…a…hundred　chance

that　a　single　rat　inhabits　the　Overlook　Hotel。〃

Jack；　who　suspected　that　every　hotel　in　the　world　had　a　rat　or　two；　held　his

tongue。

〃Of　course　you　wouldnt　allow　your　son　up　in　the　attic　under　any

circumstances。〃

〃No；〃　Jack　said；　and　flashed　the　big　PR　smile　again。　Humiliating　situation。

Did　this　officious　little　prick　actually　think　he　would　allow　his　son　to　goof

around　in　a　rattrap　attic　full　of　junk　furniture　and　God　knew　what　else？

Ullman　whisked　away　the　attic　floor　plan　and　put　it　on　the　bottom　of　the　pile。

〃The　Overlook　has　one　hundred　and　ten　guest　quarters；〃　he　said　in　a　scholarly

voice。　〃Thirty　of　them；　all　suites；　are　here　on　the　third　floor。　Ten　in　the　west

wing　（including　the　Presidential　Suite）；　ten　in　the　center；　ten　more　in　the　east

wing。　All　of　them　mand　magnificent　views。〃

Could　you　at　least　spare　the　salestalk？
