For the next ten minutes Hallorann opened bins and doors; disclosing food in
such amounts as Wendy had never seen before。 The food supplies amazed her but
did not reassure her as much as she might have thought: the Donner Party kept
recurring to her; not with thoughts of cannibalism (with all this food it would
indeed be a long time before they were reduced to such poor rations as each
other); but with the reinforced idea that this was indeed a serious business:
when snow fell; getting out of here would not be a matter of an hours drive to
Sidewinder but a major operation。 They would sit up here in this deserted grand
hotel; eating the food that had been left them like creatures in a fairy tale
and listening to the bitter wind around their snowbound eaves。 In Vermont; when
Danny had broken his arm
(when Jack broke Dannys arm)
she had called the emergency Medix squad; dialing the number from the little
card attached to the phone。 They had been at the house only ten minutes later。
There were other numbers written on that little card。 You could have a police
car in five minutes and a fire truck in even less time than that; because the
fire station was only three blocks away and one block over。 There was a man to
call if the lights went out; a man to call if the shower stopped up; a man to
call if the TV went on the fritz。 But what would happen up here if Danny had one
of his fainting spells and swallowed his tongue?
(oh God what a thought!)
What if the place caught on fire? If Jack fell down the elevator shaft and
fractured his skull? What if — ?
(what if we have a wonderful time now stop it; Winnifred!)
Hallorann showed them into the walk…in freezer first; where their breath
puffed out like ic strip balloons。 In the freezer it was as if winter had
already e。
Hamburger in big plastic bags; ten pounds in each bag; a dozen bags。 Forty
whole chickens hanging from a row of hooks in the wood…planked walls。 Canned
hams stacked up like poker chips; a dozen of them。 Below the chickens; ten
roasts of beef; ten roasts of pork; and a huge leg of lamb。
〃You like lamb; doc?〃 Hallorann asked; grinning。
〃I love it;〃 Danny said immediately。 He had never had it。
〃I knew you did。 Theres nothin like two good slices of lamb on a cold night;
with some mint jelly on the side。 You got the mint jelly here; too。 Lamb eases
the belly。 Its a noncontentious sort of meat。〃
