  Jack had waded in�察�his fists held up in front of him�察�and it seemed that he 
had been grinning。 But he wasn't sure of that。 
  The last thing be remembered was George holding up the knife and saying�此 �You 
better not e any closer ! ; 
  And the next thing was Miss Strong�察�the French teacher�察�holding Jack's arms�察�
crying�察�screaming�此 �Stop it�察�Jack� �Stop it� �You're going to kill him� ─�
  He had blinked around stupidly。 There was the hunting knife�察�glittering 
harmlessly on the parking lot asphalt four yards away。 There was his Volkswagen�察�
his poor old battered bug�察�veteran of many wild midnight drunken rides�察�sitting 
on three flat shoes。 There was a new dent in the right front fender�察�he saw�察�and 
there was something in the middle of the dent that was either red paint or 
blood。 For a moment he had been confused�察�his thoughts 
  ��jesus christ al we hit him after all�� 
  of that other night。 Then his eyes had shifted to George�察�George lying dazed 
and blinking on the asphalt。 His debate group had e out and they were huddled 
together by the door�察�staring at George。 There was blood on his face from a 
scalp laceration that looked minor�察�but there was also blood running out of one 
of George's ears and that probably meant a concussion。 When George tried to get 
up�察�Jack shook free of Miss Strong and went to him。 George cringed。 
  Jack put his hands on George's chest and pushed him back down。 ;Lie still�察─�he 
said。 ;Don't try to move。; He turned to Miss Strong�察�who was staring at them 
both with horror。 
  ;Please go call the school doctor�察�Miss Strong�察─�be told her。 She turned and 
fled toward the office。 He looked at his debate class then�察�looked them right in 
the eye because he was in charge again�察�fully himself�察�and when he was himself 
there wasn't a nicer guy in the whole state of Vermont。 Surely they knew that。 
  ;You can go home now�察─�he told them quietly。 ;We'll meet again tomorrow。; 
  But by the end of that week six of his debaters had dropped out�察�two of them 
the class of the act�察�but of course it didn't matter much because he had been 
informed by then that he would be dropping out himself。 
  Yet somehow he had stayed off the bottle�察�and he supposed that was something。 
  And he had not hated George Hatfield。 He was sure of that。 He had not acted 
but had been acted upon。 
  You hate me because you know 。。。 
  But he had known nothing。 Nothing。 He would swear that before the Throne of 
Almighty God�察�just as he would swear that he had set the timer ahead no more 
than a minute。 And not out of hate but out of pity。 
  Two wasps were crawling sluggishly about on the roof beside the hole in the 


 
 
flashing。 
  He watched them until they spread their aerodynamically unsound but strangely 
efficient wings and lumbered off into the October sunshine�察�perchance to sting 
someone else。 God had seen fit to give them stingers and Jack supposed they had 
to use them on somebody。 
  How long had he been sitting there�察�looking at that hole with its unpleasant 
surprise down inside�察�raking over old coals�拭�He looked at his watch。 Almost half 
an hour。 
  He let himself down to the edge of the roof�察�dropped one leg over�察�and felt 
around until his foot found the top rung of the ladder just below the overhang。 
He would go down to the equipment shed where he had stored the bug bomb on a 
high shelf out of Danny's reach。 He would get it�察�e back up�察�and then they 
would be the ones surprised。 You could be stung�察�but you could also sting back。 
He believed that sincerely。 Two hours from now the nest would be just so much 
chewed paper and Danny could have it in his room if he wanted to ! Jack had had 
one in his room when he was just a kid�察�it had always smelled faintly of 
woodsmoke and gasoline。 He could have it right by the head of his bed。 It 
wouldn't hurt him。 
  ;I'm getting better。; 
  The sound of his own voice�察�confident in the silent afternoon�察�reassured him 
even though he hadn't meant to speak aloud。 He was getting better。 It was 
possible to graduate from passive to active�察�to take the thing that had once 
driven you nearly to madness as a neutral prize of no more than occasional 
academic interest。 And if there was a place where the thing could be done�察�this 
was surely it。 
  He went down the ladder to get the bug bomb。 They would pay。 They would pay 
for stinging him。

DOWN IN THE FRONT YARD 
 
 
  Jack had found a huge white´painted wicker chair in the back of the equipment 
shed two weeks ago�察�and had dragged it around to the porch over Wendy's 
objections that it was really the ugliest thing she had ever seen in her whole 
life。 He was sitting in it now�察�amusing himself with a copy of E。 L。 Doctorow's 
Wele to Hard Times�察�when his wife and son rattled up the driveway in the 
hotel truck。 
  Wendy parked it in the turn´around�察�raced the engine sportily�察�and then turned 
it off。 The truck's single taillight died。 The engine rumbled grumpily with 
post´ignition and finally stopped。 Jack got out of his chair and ambled down to 
meet them。 


 
 
  ;Hi�察�Dad� ─�Danny called�察�and raced up the hill。 He had a box in one hand。 
;Look what Mommy bought me� ─�
  Jack picked his son up�察�swung him around twice�察�and kissed him heartily on the 
mouth。 
  ;Jack Torrance�察�the Eugene O'Neill of his generation�察�the American 
Shakespeare� ─�Wendy said�察�smiling。 ;Fancy meeting you here�察�so far up in the 
mountains。; 
  ;The mon ruck became too much for me�察�dear lady�察─�he said�察�and slipped his 
arms around her。 They kissed。 ;How was your trip�拭─�
  ;Very good。 Danny plains that I keep jerking him but I didn't stall the 
truck once and 。。。 oh�察�Jack�察�you finished it� ─�
  She was looking at the roof�察�and Danny followed her gaze。 A faint frown 
touched his face as he looked at the wide swatch of fresh shingles atop the 
Overlook's west wing�察�a lighter green than the rest of the roof。 Then he looked 
down at the box in his hand and his face cleared again。 At night the pictures 
Tony had showed him came back to haunt in all their original clarity�察�but in 
sunny daylight they were easier to disregard。 
  ;Look�察�Daddy�察�look� ─�
  Jack took the box from his son。 It was a model car�察�one of the Big Daddy Roth 
caricatures that Danny bad expressed an admiration for in the past。 This one was 
the Violent Violet Volkswagen�察�and the picture on the box showed a huge purple 
VW with long '59 Cadillac Coupe de Ville taillights burning up a dirt track。 
The VW had a sunroof�察�and poking up through it�察�clawed hands on the wheel down 
below�察�was a gigantic warty monster with popping bloodshot eyes�察�a maniacal 
grin�察�and a gigantic English racing cap turned around backward。 
  Wendy was smiling at him�察�and Jack winked at her。 
  ;That's what I like about you�察�doc�察─�Jack said�察�handing the box back。 ;Your 
taste runs to the quiet�察�the sober�察�the introspective。 You are definitely the 
child of my loins。; 
  ;Mommy said you'd help me put it together as soon as I could read all of the 
first Dick and Jane。; 
  ;That ought to be by the end of the week�察─�Jack said。 ;What else have you got 
in that fine´looking truck�察�ma'am�拭─�
  ;Uh´uh。; She grabbed his arm and pulled him back。 ;No peeking。 Some of that 
stuff is for you。 Danny and I will take it in。 You can get the milk。 It's on the 
floor of the cab。; 
  ;That's all I am to you�察─�Jack cried�察�clapping a hand to his forehead。 ;Just a 
dray horse�察�a mon beast of the field。 Dray here�察�dray there�察�dray 
everywhere。; 
  ;Just dray that milk right into the kitchen�察�mister。; 
  ;It's too much� ─�he cried�察�and threw himself on the ground while Danny stood 
over him and giggled。 
  ;Get up�察�you ox�察─�Wendy said�察�and prodded him with the toe of her sneaker。 
  ;See�拭─�he said to Danny。 ;She called me an ox。 You're a witness。; 
  ;Witness�察�witness� ─�Danny concurred gleefully�察�and broadjumped his prone 
father。 
  Jack sat up。 ;That reminds me�察�chumly。 I've got something for you。 too。 On the 
porch by my ashtray。; 


 
 
  ;What is it�拭─�
  ;Forgot。 Go and see。; 
  Jack got up and the two of them stood together�察�watching Danny charge up the 
lawn and then take the steps to the porch two by two。 He put an arm around 
Wendy's waist。 
  ;You happy�察�babe�拭─�
  She looked up at him solemnly。 ;This is the happiest I've been since we were 
married。; 
  ;Is that the truth�拭─�
  ;God's honest。; 
  He squeezed her tightly。 ;I love you。; 
  She squeezed him back�察�touched。 Those had never been cheap words with John 
Torrance�察�she could count the number of times he had said them to her�察�both 
before and after marriage�察�on both her hands。 
  ;I love you too。; 
  ;Mommy� �Mommy� ─�Danny was on the porch now�察�shrill and excited。 ;e and see�  �Wow� �It's 
neat� ─�
  ;What is it�拭─�Wendy asked him as they walked up from the parking lot�察�hand in 
hand。 
  ;Forgot�察─�Jack said。 
  ;Oh�察�you'll get yours�察─�she said�察�and elbowed him。 ;See if you don't。; 
  ;I was hoping I'd get it tonight�察─�he remarked�察�and she laughed。 A moment 
later he asked�察 �Is Danny happy�察�do you think�拭─�
  ;You ought to know。 You're the one who has a long talk with him every night 
before bed。; 
  ;That's usually about what he wants to be when he grows up or if Santa Claus 
is really real。 That's getting to be a big thing with him。 I think his old buddy 
Scott let some pennies drop on that one。 No�察�he hasn't said much of anything 
about the Overlook to me。; 
  ;Me either�察─�she said。 They were climbing the porch steps now。 ;But he's very 
quiet a lot of the time。 And I think he's lost weight�察�Jack�察�I really do。; 
  ;He's just getting tall。; 
  Danny's back was to them。 He was examining something on the table by Jack's 
chair�察�but Wendy couldn't see what it was。 
  ;He's not eating as well�察�either。 He used to be the original steam shovel。 
Remember last year�拭─�
  ;They taper off�察─�he said vaguely。 ;I think I read that in Spock。 He'll be 
using two forks again by the time he's seven。; 
  They had stopped on the top step。 
  ;He's pushing awfully hard on those readers�察�too�察─�she said。 ;I know he wants 
to learn how�察�to please us 。。。 to please you�察─�she added reluctantly。 
  ;To please himself most of all�察─�Jack said。 ;I haven't been pushing him on 
that at all。 In fact�察�I do wish he wouldn't go quite so hard。; 
  ;Would you think I was foolish if I made an appointment for him to have a 
physical�拭�There's a G。P。 in Sidewinder�察�a young man from what the checker in the 
market said ! ; 
  ;You're a little nervous about the snow ing�察�aren't you�拭─�
  She shrugged。 ;I suppose。 If you think it's foolish ! ; 


 
 
  ;I don't。 In fact�察�you can make appointments for all three of us。 We'll get 
our clean bills of health and then we can sleep easy at night。; 
  ;I'll make the appointments this afternoon�察─�she said。 
  ;Mom� �Look�察�Mommy� ─�
  He came running to her with a large gray thing in his hands�察�and for one 
ic´horrible moment Wendy thought it was a brain。 She saw what it really was 
and recoiled instinctively。 
  Jack put an arm around her。 ;It's all right。 The tenants who didn't fly away 
have been shaken out。 I used the bug bomb。; 
  She looked at the large wasps' nest her son was holding but would not touch 
it。 ;Are you sure it's safe�拭─�
  ;Positive。 I had one in my room when I was a kid。 My dad gave it to me。 Want 
to put it in your room�察�Danny�拭─�
  ;Yeah� �Right now� ─�
  He turned around and raced through the double doors。 They could hear his 
muffled�察�running feet on the main stairs。 
  ;There were wasps up there�察─�she said。 ;Did you get stung�拭─�
  ;Where's my purple heart�拭─�he asked�察�and displayed his finger。 The swelling 
had already begun to go down�察�but she ooohed over it satisfyingly and gave it a 
small�察�gentle kiss。 
  ;Did you pull the stinger out�拭─�
  ;Wasps don't leave them in。 That's bees。 They have barbed stingers。 Wasp 
stingers are smooth。 That's what makes them so dangerous。 They can sting again 
and again。; 
  ;Jack�察�are you sure that's safe for him to have�拭─�
  ;I followed the directions on the bomb。 The stuff is guaranteed to kill every 
single bug in two hours' time and then dissipate with no residue。; 
  ;I hate them�察─�she said。
