this。　He　wasnt　suffering　alone；　that　was　sure。

They　looked　at　him　without　speaking。

〃Nothing　there；〃　he　said；　astounded　by　the　heartiness　of　his　voice。　〃Not　a

thing。〃

He　bounced　the　passkey　up　and　down；　up　and　down；　smiling　reassuringly　at　them；

watching　the　relief　spread　over　their　faces；　and　thought　he　had　never　in　his

life　wanted　a　drink　so　badly　as　he　did　right　now。

THE　BEDROOM

Late　that　afternoon　Jack　got　a　cot　from　the　first…floor　storage　room　and　put

it　in　the　corner　of　their　bedroom。　Wendy　had　expected　that　the　boy　would　be　half

the　night　getting　to　sleep；　but　Danny　was　nodding　before　〃The　Waltons〃　was　half

over；　and　fifteen　minutes　after　they　had　tucked　him　in　he　was　far　down　in

sleep；　moveless；　one　hand　tucked　under　his　cheek。　Wendy　sat　watching　him；

holding　her　place　in　a　fat　paperback　copy　of　Cashelmara　with　one　finger。　Jack

sat　at　his　desk；　looking　at　his　play。

〃Oh　shit；〃　Jack　said。

Wendy　looked　up　from　her　contemplation　of　Danny。　〃What？〃

〃Nothing。〃

He　looked　down　at　the　play　with　smoldering　ill…temper。　How　could　he　have

thought　it　was　good？　It　was　puerile。　It　had　been　done　a　thousand　times。　Worse；

he　had　no　idea　how　to　finish　it。　Once　it　had　seemed　simple　enough。　Denker；　in　a

fit　of　rage；　seizes　the　poker　from　beside　the　fireplace　and　beats　saintly　Gary

to　death。　Then；　standing　spread…legged　over　the　body；　the　bloody　poker　in　one

hand；　he　screams　at　the　audience：　〃Its　here　somewhere　and　I　will　find　it！〃

Then；　as　the　lights　dim　and　the　curtain　is　slowly　drawn；　the　audience　sees

Garys　body　face　down　on　the　forestage　as　Denker　strides　to　the　upstage　bookcase

and　feverishly　begins　pulling　books　from　the　shelves；　looking　at　them；　throwing

them　aside。　He　had　thought　it　was　something　old　enough　to　be　new；　a　play　whose

novelty　alone　might　be　enough　to　see　it　through　a　successful　Broadway　run：　a

tragedy　in　five　acts。

But；　in　addition　to　his　sudden　diversion　of　interest　to　the　Overlooks

history；　something　else　had　happened。　He　had　developed　opposing　feelings　about
