Yes
,
but
--

"
And
you
know
how
he
runs
it
along
the
bars
sometimes
,
just
for
the
pure
hell
of
it
.
He
's
mean
,
and
he
's
stupid
,
and
I
do
n't
know
how
much
longer
I
can
take
him
.
That
's
the
truth
.
"
213
We
'd
known
each
other
five
years
.
That
can
be
a
long
time
for
men
who
get
on
well
,
especially
when
part
of
the
job
is
trading
life
for
death
.
What
I
'm
saying
is
that
he
understood
what
I
meant
.
Not
that
I
would
quit
;
not
with
the
Depression
walking
around
outside
the
prison
walls
like
a
dangerous
criminal
,
one
that
could
n't
be
caged
as
our
charges
were
.
Better
men
than
me
were
out
on
the
roads
or
riding
the
rods
.
I
was
lucky
and
knew
it
--
children
grown
and
the
mortgage
,
that
two-hundred-pound
block
of
marble
,
had
been
off
my
chest
for
the
last
two
years
.
But
a
man
's
got
to
eat
,
and
his
wife
has
to
eat
,
too
.
Also
,
we
were
used
to
sending
our
daughter
and
son-in-law
twenty
bucks
whenever
we
could
afford
it
(
and
sometimes
when
we
could
n't
,
if
Jane
's
letters
sounded
particularly
desperate
)
.
He
was
an
out-of-work
high-school
teacher
,
and
if
that
did
n't
qualify
for
desperate
back
in
those
days
,
then
the
word
had
no
meaning
.
So
no
,
you
did
n't
walk
off
a
steady
paycheck
job
like
mine
...
not
in
cold
blood
,
that
was
.
But
my
blood
was
n't
cold
that
fall
.

The
temperatures
outside
were
unseasonable
,
and
the
infection
crawling
around
inside
me
had
turned
the
thermostat
up
even
more
.
And
when
a
man
's
in
that
kind
of
situation
,
why
,
sometimes
his
fist
flies
out
pretty
much
of
its
own
accord
.
And
if
you
slug
a
connected
man
like
Percy
Wetmore
once
,
you
might
as
well
just
go
right
on
slugging
,
because
there
's
no
going
back
.

"
Stick
with
it
,
"
Moores
said
quietly
.
"
That
's
what
I
called
you
in
here
to
say
.
I
have
it
on
good
authority
--
the
person
who
called
me
this
morning
,
in
fact
--
that
Percy
has
an
application
in
at
Briar
,
and
that
his
application
will
be
accepted
.
"
216
"
Briar
,
"
I
said
.
That
was
Briar
Ridge
,
one
of
two
state-run
hospitals
.
"
What
's
this
kid
doing
?
Touring
state
facilities
?
"
217
"
It
's
an
administration
job
.
Better
pay
,
and
papers
to
push
instead
of
hospital
beds
in
the
heat
of
the
day
.
"
He
gave
me
a
slanted
grin
.
"
You
know
,
Paul
,
you
might
be
shed
of
him
already
if
you
had
n't
put
him
in
the
switch-room
with
Van
Hay
when
The
Chief
walked
.

For
a
moment
what
he
said
seemed
so
peculiar
I
did
n't
have
a
clue
what
he
was
getting
at
.
Maybe
I
did
n't
want
to
have
a
clue
.
219
"
Where
else
would
I
put
him
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Christ
,
he
hardly
knows
what
he
's
doing
on
the
block
!
To
make
him
part
of
the
active
execution
team
--
"
I
did
n't
finish
.
Could
n't
finish
.
The
potential
for
screw-ups
seemed
endless
.

"
Nevertheless
,
you
'd
do
well
to
put
him
out
for
Delacroix
.
If
you
want
to
get
rid
of
him
,
that
is
.
