〃I　made　a　mistake。　I　admit　it　freely。　The　man　was　a　drunk。〃

Jack　felt　a　slow；　hot　grin　—　the　total　antithesis　of　the　toothy　PR　grin　—

stretch　across　his　mouth。　〃Is　that　it？　Im　surprised　Al　didnt　tell　you。　Ive

retired。〃

〃Yes；　Mr。　Shockley　told　me　you　no　longer　drink。　He　also　told　me　about　your

last　job　。。。　your　last　position　of　trust；　shall　we　say？　You　were　teaching

English　in　a　Vermont　prep　school。　You　lost　your　temper；　I　dont　believe　I　need

to　be　any　more　specific　than　that。　But　I　do　happen　to　believe　that　Gradys　case

has　a　bearing；　and　that　is　why　I　have　brought　the　matter　of　your　。。。　uh；

previous　history　into　the　conversation。　During　the　winter　of　1970…71；　after　we

had　refurbished　the　Overlook　but　before　our　first　season；　I　hired　this。。。　this

unfortunate　named　Delbert　Grady。　He　moved　into　the　quarters　you　and　your　wife

and　son　will　be　sharing。　He　had　a　wife　and　two　daughters。　I　had　reservations；

the　main　ones　being　the　harshness　of　the　winter　season　and　the　fact　that　the

Gradys　would　be　cut　off　from　the　outside　world　for　five　to　six　months。〃

〃But　thats　not　really　true；　is　it？　There　are　telephones　here；　and　probably　a

citizens　band　radio　as　well。　And　the　Rocky　Mountain　National　Park　is　within

helicopter　range　and　surely　a　piece　of　ground　that　big　must　have　a　chopper　or

two。〃

〃I　wouldnt　know　about　that；〃　Ullman　said。　〃The　hotel　does　have　a　two…way

radio　that　Mr。　Watson　will　show　you；　along　with　a　list　of　the　correct

frequencies　to　broadcast　on　if　you　need　help。　The　telephone　lines　between　here

and　Sidewinder　are　still　aboveground；　and　they　go　down　almost　every　winter　at

some　point　or　other　and　are　apt　to　stay　down　for　three　weeks　to　a　month　and　a

half。　There　is　a　snowmobile　in　the　equipment　shed　also。〃

〃Then　the　place　really　isnt　cut　off。〃

Mr。　Ullman　looked　pained。　〃Suppose　your　son　or　your　wife　tripped　on　the　stairs

and　fractured　his　or　her　skull；　Mr。　Torrance。　Would　you　think　the　place　was　cut

off　then？〃

Jack　saw　the　point。　A　snowmobile　running　at　top　speed　could　get　you　down　to

Sidewinder　in　an　hour　and　a　half　。。。　maybe。　A　helicopter　from　the　Parks　Rescue

Service　could　get　up　here　in　three　hours　。。。　under　optimum　conditions。　In　a

blizzard　it　would　never　even　be　able　to　lift　off　and　you　couldnt　hope　to　run　a
