snowmobile　at　top　speed；　even　if　you　dared　take　a　seriously　injured　person　out

into　temperatures　that　might　be　twenty…five　below…or　forty…five　below；　if　you

added　in　the　wind　chill　factor。

〃In　the　case　of　Grady；〃　Ullman　said；　〃I　reasoned　much　as　Mr。　Shockley　seems　to

have　done　in　your　case。　Solitude　can　be　damaging　in　itself。　Better　for　the　man

to　have　his　family　with　him。　If　there　was　trouble；　I　thought；　the　odds　were　very

high　that　it　would　be　something　less　urgent　than　a　fractured　skull　or　an

accident　with　one　of　the　power　tools　or　some　sort　of　convulsion。　A　serious　case

of　the　flu；　pneumonia；　a　broken　arm；　even　appendicitis。　Any　of　those　things

would　have　left　enough　time。

〃I　suspect　that　what　happened　came　as　a　result　of　too　much　cheap　whiskey；　of

which　Grady　had　laid　in　a　generous　supply；　unbeknownst　to　me；　and　a　curious

condition　which　the　old…timers　call　cabin　fever。　Do　you　know　the　term？〃　Ullman

offered　a　patronizing　little　smile；　ready　to　explain　as　soon　as　Jack　admitted

his　ignorance；　and　Jack　was　happy　to　respond　quickly　and　crisply。

〃Its　a　slang　term　for　the　claustrophobic　reaction　that　can　occur　when　people

are　shut　in　together　over　long　periods　of　time。　The　feeling　of　claustrophobia　is

externalized　as　dislike　for　the　people　you　happen　to　be　shut　in　with。　In　extreme

cases　it　can　result　in　hallucinations　and　violence　—　murder　has　been　done　over

such　minor　things　as　a　burned　meal　or　an　argument　about　whose　turn　it　is　to　do

the　dishes。〃

Ullman　looked　rather　nonplussed；　which　did　Jack　a　world　of　good。　He　decided　to

press　a　little　further；　but　silently　promised　Wendy　he　would　stay　cool。

〃I　suspect　you　did　make　a　mistake　at　that。　Did　he　hurt　them？〃

〃He　killed　them；　Mr。　Torrance；　and　then　mitted　suicide。　He　murdered　the

little　girls　with　a　hatchet；　his　wife　with　a　shotgun；　and　himself　the　same　way。

His　leg　was　broken。　Undoubtedly　so　drunk　he　fell　downstairs。〃

Ullman　spread　his　hands　and　looked　at　Jack　self…righteously。

〃Was　he　a　high　school　graduate？〃

〃As　a　matter　of　fact；　he　wasnt；〃　Ullman　said　a　little　stiffly。　〃I　thought　a；

shall　we　say；　less　imaginative　individual　would　be　less　susceptible　to　the

rigors；　the　loneliness　—　〃

〃That　was　your　mistake；〃　Jack　said。　〃A　stupid　man　is　more　prone　to　cabin　fever
