〃Who?〃
〃A nigger;〃 Grady said。 〃A nigger cook。〃
〃Hallorann?〃
〃I believe that is his name; sir; yes。〃
Another burst of laughter from behind them was followed by Roger saying
something in a whining; protesting voice。
〃Yes! Yes! Yes!〃 Derwent began to chant。 The others around him took it up; but
before Jack could hear what they wanted Roger to do now; the band began to play
again — the tune was 〃Tuxedo Junction;〃 with a lot of mellow sax in it but not
much soul。
(Soul? Soul hasnt even been invented yet。 Or has it?)
(A nigger 。。。 a nigger cook。)
He opened his mouth to speak; not knowing what might e out。 What did was:
〃I was told you hadnt finished high school。 But you dont talk like an
uneducated man。〃
〃Its true that I left organized education very early; sir。 But the manager
takes care of his help。 He finds that it pays。 Education always pays; dont you
agree; sir?〃
〃Yes;〃 Jack said dazedly。
〃For instance; you show a great interest in learning more about the Overlook
Hotel。 Very wise of you; sir。 Very noble。 A certain scrapbook was left in the
basement for you to find — 〃
〃By whom?〃 Jack asked eagerly。
〃By the manager; of course。 Certain other materials could be put at your
disposal; if you wished them 。。。 〃
〃I do。 Very much。〃 He tried to control the eagerness in his voice and failed
miserably。
〃Youre a true scholar;〃 Grady said。 〃Pursue the topic to the end。 Exhaust all
sources。〃 He dipped his low…browed head; pulled out the lapel of his white mess
jacket; and buffed his knuckles at a spot of dirt that was invisible to Jack。
〃And the manager puts no strings on his largess;〃 Grady went on。 〃Not at all。
Look at me; a tenth…grade dropout。 Think how much further you yourself could go
in the Overlooks organizational structure。 Perhaps 。。。 in time 。。。 to the
very top。〃
〃Really?〃 Jack whispered。
