actually got through it; the owner of the scrapbook would like to have an
acknowledgment at the front。〃
〃I think writing a book about the Overlook would be very unwise;〃 Ullman said。
〃Especially a book done from your 。。。 uh; point of view。〃
〃Your opinion doesnt surprise me。〃 His headache was all gone now。 There had
been that one flash of pain; and that was all。 His mind felt sharp and accurate;
all the way down to millimeters。 It was the way he usually felt only when the
writing was going extremely well or when he had a threedrink buzz on。 That was
another thing he had forgotten about Excedrin; he didnt know if it worked for
others; but for him crunching three tablets was like an instant high。
Now he said: 〃What youd like is some sort of missioned guidebook that you
could hand out free to the guests when they checked in。 Something with a lot of
glossy photos of the mountains at sunrise and sunset and a lemon…meringue text
to go with it。 Also a section on the colorful people who have stayed there; of
course excluding the really colorful ones like Gienelli and his friends。〃
〃If I felt I could fire you and be a hundred per cent certain of my own job
instead of just ninety…five per cent;〃 UIIman said in clipped; strangled tones;
〃I would fire you right this minute; over the telephone。 But since I feel that
five per cent of uncertainty; I intend to call Mr。 Shockley the moment youre
off the line 。。。 which will be soon; or so I devoutly hope。〃
Jack said; 〃There isnt going to be anything in the book that isnt true; you
know。 Theres no need to dress it up。〃
(Why are you baiting him? Do you want to be fired?)
〃I dont care if Chapter Five is about the Pope of Rome screwing the shade of
the Virgin Mary;〃 Ullman said; his voice rising。 〃I want you out of my hotel!〃
〃Its not your hotel!〃 Jack screamed; and slammed the receiver into its
cradle。
He sat on the stool breathing hard; a little scared now;
(a little? hell; a lot)
wondering why in the name of God he had called Ullman in the first place。
(You lost your temper again; Jack。)
Yes。 Yes; he had。 No sense trying to deny it。 And the hell of it was; he had
no idea how much influence that cheap little prick had over Al; no more than he
