They
had
resumed
their
original
positions
,
Ullman
behind
the
desk
and
Jack
in
front
of
it
,
interviewer
and
interviewee
,
supplicant
and
reluctant
patron
.
Ullman
folded
his
neat
little
hands
on
the
desk
blotter
and
looked
directly
at
Jack
,
a
small
,
balding
man
in
a
banker
s
suit
and
a
quiet
gray
tie
.
The
flower
in
his
lapel
was
balanced
off
by
a
small
lapel
pin
on
the
other
side
.
It
read
simply
STAFF
in
small
gold
letters
.

"
I
ll
be
perfectly
frank
with
you
,
Mr

Albert
Shockley
is
a
powerful
man
with
a
large
interest
in
the
Overlook
,
which
showed
a
profit
this
season
for
the
first
time
in
its
history
.
Mr
.
Shockley
also
sits
on
the
Board
of
Directors
,
but
he
is
not
a
hotel
man
and
he
would
be
the
first
to
admit
this
.
But
he
has
made
his
wishes
in
this
caretaking
matter
quite
obvious
.
He
wants
you
hired
.
I
will
do
so
.
But
if
I
had
been
given
a
free
hand
in
this
matter
,
I
would
not
have
taken
you
on
.

Jack
s
hands
were
clenched
tightly
in
his
lap
,
working
against
each
other
,
sweating
.
Officious
little
prick
,
officious
35
"
I
don
t
believe
you
care
much
for
me
,
Mr
.
Torrance
.
I
little
prick
,
officious
-
don
t
care
.
Certainly
your
feelings
toward
me
play
no
part
in
my
own
belief
that
you
are
not
right
for
the
job
.
During
the
season
that
runs
from
May
fifteenth
to
September
thirtieth
,
the
Overlook
employs
one
hundred
and
ten
people
full
-
time
;
one
for
every
room
in
the
hotel
,
you
might
say
.
I
don
t
think
many
of
them
like
me
and
I
suspect
that
some
of
them
think
I
m
a
bit
of
a
bastard
.
They
would
be
correct
in
their
judgment
of
my
character
.
I
have
to
be
a
bit
of
a
bastard
to
run
this
hotel
in
the
manner
it
deserves
.
"
36
He
looked
at
Jack
for
comment
,
and
Jack
flashed
the
PR
smile
again
,
large
and
insultingly
toothy
.

Ullman
said
:
"
The
Overlook
was
built
in
the
years
1907
to
1909
.
The
closest
town
is
Sidewinder
,
forty
miles
east
of
here
over
roads
that
are
closed
from
sometime
in
late
October
or
November
until
sometime
in
April

A
man
named
Robert
Townley
Watson
built
it
,
the
grandfather
of
our
present
maintenance
man
.
Vanderbilts
have
stayed
here
,
and
Rockefellers
,
and
Astors
,
and
Du
Pouts
.
Four
Presidents
have
stayed
in
the
Presidential
Suite
.
Wilson
,
Harding
,
Roosevelt
,
and
Nixon
.
"
39
"
I
wouldn
t
be
too
proud
of
Harding
and
Nixon
,
"
Jack
murmured
.
40
Ullman
frowned
but
went
on
regardless
.
"
It
proved
too
much
for
Mr
.
Watson
,
and
he
sold
the
hotel
in
1915
.
It
was
sold
again
in
1922
,
in
1929
,
in
1936
.
It
stood
vacant
until
the
end
of
World
War
II
,
when
it
was
purchased
and
completely
renovated
by
Horace
Derwent
,
millionaire
inventor
,
pilot
,
film
producer
,
and
entrepreneur
.
