A
green
party
streamer
,
faded
to
a
pale
pastel
color
with
age
.
"
And
this
?
"
She
tossed
it
out
and
it
came
to
rest
on
the
blue
-
black
jungle
carpet
,
a
black
silk
cat
’
s
-
eye
mask
,
dusted
with
sequins
at
the
temples

Does
that
look
like
a
short
circuit
to
you
,
Jack
?
"
she
screamed
at
him
.
Jack
stepped
slowly
away
from
it
,
shaking
his
head
mechanically
back
and
forth
.
The
cat
’
s
-
eye
mask
stared
up
blankly
at
the
ceiling
from
the
confettistrewn
hallway
carpet
.
It
was
the
first
of
December
.
Danny
was
in
the
east
-
wing
ballroom
,
standing
on
an
over
-
stuffed
,
high
-
backed
wing
chair
,
looking
at
the
clock
under
glass
.
It
stood
in
the
center
of
the
ballroom
’
s
high
,
ornamental
mantelpiece
,
flanked
by
two
large
ivory
elephants
.
He
almost
expected
the
elephants
would
begin
to
move
and
try
to
gore
him
with
their
tusks
as
he
stood
there
,
but
they
were
moveless
.
They
were
"
safe
.
"
Since
the
night
of
the
elevator
he
bad
come
to
divide
all
things
at
the
Overlook
into
two
categories
.
The
elevator
,
the
basement
,
the
playground
,
Room
217
,
and
the
Presidential
Suite
(
it
was
Suite
,
not
Sweet
;
he
had
seen
the
correct
spelling
in
an
account
book
Daddy
had
been
reading
at
supper
last
night
and
had
memorized
it
carefully
)
-
those
places
were
"
unsafe
.
"
Their
quarters
,
the
lobby
,
and
the
porch
were
"
safe
.
"
Apparently
the
ballroom
was
,
too
.

(
The
elephants
are
,
anyway
.
)
He
was
not
sure
about
other
places
and
so
avoided
them
on
general
principle
.
He
looked
at
the
clock
inside
the
glass
dome
.
It
was
under
glass
because
all
its
wheels
and
cogs
and
springs
were
showing
.
A
chrome
or
steel
track
ran
around
the
outside
of
these
works
,
and
directly
below
the
clockface
there
was
a
small
axis
bar
with
a
pair
of
meshing
cogs
at
either
end
.
The
hands
of
the
clock
stood
at
quarter
past
XI
,
and
although
he
didn
’
t
know
Roman
numerals
he
could
guess
by
the
configuration
of
the
hands
at
what
time
the
clock
had
stopped
.
The
clock
stood
on
a
velvet
base
.
