In
the
back
of
the
limo
were
two
dozen
avocados
,
a
crate
of
cucumbers
,
ditto
oranges
,
ditto
grapefruit
.
Three
shopping
sacks
filled
with
Bermuda
onions
,
the
sweetest
vegetable
a
loving
God
ever
created
,
some
pretty
good
sweet
peas
,
which
would
be
served
with
the
entree
and
come
back
uneaten
nine
times
out
of
ten
,
and
a
single
blue
Hubbard
squash
that
was
strictly
for
personal
consumption
.
Hallorann
stopped
in
the
turn
lane
at
the
Vermont
Street
light
,
and
when
the
green
arrow
showed
he
pulled
out
onto
state
highway
219
,
pushing
up
to
forty
and
holding
it
there
until
the
town
began
to
trickle
away
into
an
exurban
sprawl
of
gas
stations
,
Burger
Kings
,
and
McDonalds
.
It
was
a
small
order
today
,
he
could
have
sent
Baedecker
after
it
,
but
Baedecker
had
been
chafing
for
his
chance
to
buy
the
meat
,
and
besides
,
Hallorann
never
missed
a
chance
to
bang
it
back
and
forth
with
Frank
Masterton
if
he
could
help
it
.
Masterton
might
show
up
tonight
to
watch
some
TV
and
drink
Hallorann
s
Bushmill
s
,
or
he
might
not
.
Either
way
was
all
right
.
But
seeing
him
mattered
.
Every
time
it
mattered
now
,
because
they
weren
t
young
anymore
.
In
the
last
few
days
it
seemed
he
was
thinking
of
that
very
fact
a
great
deal
.
Not
so
young
anymore
,
when
you
got
up
near
sixty
years
old
(
ortell
the
truth
and
save
a
lie
-
past
it
)
you
had
to
start
thinking
about
stepping
out
.
You
could
go
anytime
.
And
that
had
been
on
his
mind
this
week
,
not
in
a
heavy
way
but
as
a
fact
.
Dying
was
a
part
of
living
.
You
had
to
keep
tuning
in
to
that
if
you
expected
to
be
a
whole
person
.
And
if
the
fact
of
your
own
death
was
hard
to
understand
,
at
least
it
wasn
t
impossible
to
accept
.
Why
this
should
have
been
on
his
mind
he
could
not
have
said
,
but
his
other
reason
for
getting
this
small
order
himself
was
so
he
could
step
upstairs
to
the
small
office
over
Frank
s
Bar
and
Grill
.

There
was
a
lawyer
up
there
now
(
the
dentist
who
had
been
there
last
year
had
apparently
gone
broke
)
,
a
young
black
fellow
named
McIver
.
Hallorann
had
stepped
in
and
told
this
McIver
that
he
wanted
to
make
a
will
,
and
could
McIver
help
him
out
?
Well
,
McIver
asked
,
how
soon
do
you
want
the
document
?
Yesterday
,
said
Hallorann
,
and
threw
his
head
back
and
laughed
.
Have
you
got
anything
complicated
in
mind
?
was
McIver
s
next
question
.
Hallorann
did
not
.
He
had
his
Cadillac
,
his
bank
account
-
some
nine
thousand
dollars
-
a
piddling
checking
account
,
and
a
closet
of
clothes
.
He
wanted
it
all
to
go
to
his
sister
.
And
if
your
sister
predeceases
you
?
McIver
asked
.
Never
mind
,
Hallorann
said
.
If
that
happens
,
I
ll
make
a
new
will
.
The
document
had
been
completed
and
signed
in
less
than
three
hours
-
fast
work
for
a
shyster
-
and
now
resided
in
Hallorann
s
breast
pocket
,
folded
into
a
stiff
blue
envelope
with
the
word
WILL
on
the
outside
in
Old
English
letters
.
He
could
not
have
said
why
he
had
chosen
this
warm
sunny
day
when
he
felt
so
well
to
do
something
he
had
been
putting
off
for
years
,
but
the
impulse
had
come
on
him
and
he
hadn
t
said
no
.
He
was
used
to
following
his
hunches
.
He
was
pretty
well
out
of
town
now
.
He
cranked
the
limo
up
to
an
illegal
sixty
and
let
it
ride
there
in
the
left
-
hand
lane
,
sucking
up
most
of
the
Petersburgbound
traffic
.
He
knew
from
experience
that
the
limo
would
still
ride
as
solid
as
iron
at
ninety
,
and
even
at
a
hundred
and
twenty
it
didn
t
seem
to
lighten
up
much
.
But
his
screamin
days
were
long
gone
.
The
thought
of
putting
the
limo
up
to
a
hundred
and
twenty
on
a
straight
stretch
only
scared
him
.
He
was
getting
old
.

(
Jesus
,
those
oranges
smell
strong

Wonder
if
they
gone
over
?
)
Bugs
splattered
against
the
window
.
He
dialed
the
radio
to
a
Miami
soul
station
and
got
the
soft
,
wailing
voice
of
Al
Green
