〃Fine。〃

As　Watson　reached　up　to　turn　off　the　light；　Jack　said；　〃There　sure　are　a　lot

of　papers　down　here。〃

〃Oh；　youre　not　kiddin。　Seems　like　they　go　back　a　thousand　years。　Newspapers

and　old　invoices　and　bills　of　lading　and　Christ　knows　what　else。　My　dad　used　to

keep　up　with　them　pretty　good　when　we　had　the　old　wood…burning　furnace；　but　now

theyve　got　all　out　of　hand。　Some　year　I　got　to　get　a　boy　to　haul　them　down　to

Sidewinder　and　burn　em。　If　Ullman　will　stand　the　expense。　I　guess　he　will　if　I

holler　‘rat　loud　enough。〃

〃Then　there　are　rats？〃

〃Yeah；　I　guess　theres　some。　I　got　the　traps　and　the　poison　Mr。　Ullman　wants

you　to　use　up　in　the　attic　and　down　here。　You　keep　a　good　eye　on　your　boy；　Mr。

Torrance。　You　wouldnt　want　nothing　to　happen　to　him。〃

〃No；　I　sure　wouldnt。〃　ing　from　Watson　the　advice　didnt　sting。

They　went　to　the　stairs　and　paused　there　for　a　moment　while　Watson　blew　his

nose　again。

〃Youll　find　all　the　tools　you　need　out　there　and　some　you　dont；　I　guess。　And

theres　the　shingles。　Did　Ullman　tell　you　about　that？〃

〃Yes；　he　wants　part　of　the　west　roof　reshingled。〃

〃Hell　get　all　the　for…free　out　of　you　that　he　can；　the　fat　little　prick；　and

then　whine　around　in　the　spring　about　how　you　didnt　do　the　job　half　right。　I

told　him　once　right　to　his　face；　I　said　。。。〃

Watsons　words　faded　away　to　a　forting　drone　as　they　mounted　the　stairs。

Jack　Torrance　looked　back　over　his　shoulder　once　into　the　impenetrable；　musty…

smelling　darkness　and　thought　that　if　there　was　ever　a　place　that　should　have

ghosts；　this　was　it。　He　thought　of　Grady；　locked　in　by　the　soft；　implacable

snow；　going　quietly　berserk　and　mitting　his　atrocity。　Did　they　scream？　he

wondered。　Poor　Grady；　feeling　it　close　in　on　him　more　every　day；　and　knowing　at

last　that　for　him　spring　would　never　e。　He　shouldnt　have　been　here。　And　he

shouldnt　have　lost　his　temper。

As　he　followed　Watson　through　the　door；　the　words　echoed　back　to　him　like　a

knell；　acpanied　by　a　sharp　snap…like　a　breaking　pencil　lead。　Dear　God；　he

could　use　a　drink。　Or　a　thousand　of　them。

SHADOWLAND

Danny　weakened　and　went　up　for　his　milk　and　cookies　at　quarter　past　four。　He

gobbled　them　while　looking　out　the　window；　then　went　in　to　kiss　his　mother；　who

was　lying　down。　She　suggested　that　he　stay　in　and　watch　〃Sesame　Street〃　—　the

time　would　pass　faster　—　but　he　shook　his　head　firmly　and　went　back　to　his　place

on　the　curb。
