I
skirted
around
Homer
Cribus
,
that
great
bag
of
guts
and
waters
,
speaking
to
Deputy
Sheriff
Rob
McGee
instead
.
McGee
did
n't
want
to
hear
what
I
was
telling
him
.
Most
vehemently
did
n't
want
to
hear
it
.
At
one
point
I
was
pretty
sure
he
was
going
to
punch
me
in
the
mouth
so
he
could
stop
hearing
it
,
but
in
the
end
he
agreed
to
go
out
and
ask
Klaus
Detterick
a
couple
of
questions
.
Mostly
,
I
think
,
so
he
could
be
sure
I
would
n't
.
"
He
's
only
thirty-nine
,
but
he
looks
like
an
old
man
these
days
,
"
McGee
said
,
"
and
he
do
n't
need
a
smartass
prison
guard
who
thinks
he
's
a
detective
to
stir
him
up
just
when
some
of
the
sorrow
has
started
to
settle
.
You
stay
right
here
in
town
.
I
do
n't
want
you
within
hailing
distance
of
the
Detterick
farm
,
but
I
want
to
be
able
to
find
you
when
I
'm
done
talking
to
Klaus
.
If
you
start
feeling
restless
,
have
a
piece
of
pie
down
there
in
the
diner
.
It
'll
weight
you
down
.
"
I
ended
up
having
two
pieces
,
and
it
was
kind
of
heavy
.
When
McGee
came
into
the
diner
and
sat
down
at
the
counter
next
to
me
,
I
tried
to
read
his
face
and
failed
.
"
Well
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Come
on
home
with
me
,
we
'll
talk
there
,
"
he
said
.
"
This
place
is
a
mite
too
public
for
my
taste
.

We
had
our
conference
on
Rob
McGee
's
front
porch
.
Both
.
of
us
were
bundled
up
and
chilly
,
but
Mrs.
McGee
did
n't
allow
smoking
anywhere
in
her
house
.
She
was
a
woman
ahead
of
her
time
.
McGee
talked
awhile
.
He
did
it
like
a
man
who
does
n't
in
the
least
enjoy
what
he
's
hearing
out
of
his
own
mouth
.
"
It
proves
nothing
,
you
know
that
,
do
n't
you
?
"
he
asked
when
he
was
pretty
well
done
.
His
tone
was
belligerent
,
and
he
poked
his
home-rolled
cigarette
at
me
in
an
aggressive
way
as
he
spoke
,
but
his
face
was
sick
.
Not
all
proof
is
what
you
see
and
hear
in
a
court
of
law
,
and
we
both
knew
it
.
I
have
an
idea
that
was
the
only
time
in
his
life
when
Deputy
McGee
wished
he
was
as
country-dumb
as
his
boss
.
"
I
know
,
"
I
said
.
"
And
if
you
're
thinking
of
getting
him
a
new
trial
on
the
basis
of
this
one
thing
,
you
better
think
again
,
se
or
.
John
Coffey
is
a
Negro
,
and
in
Trapingus
County
we
're
awful
particular
about
giving
new
trials
to
Negroes
.

"
I
know
that
,
too
.
"
"
So
what
are
you
going
to
do
?
"
I
pitched
my
cigarette
over
the
porch
rail
and
into
the
street
.
Then
I
stood
up
.
It
was
going
to
be
a
long
,
cold
ride
back
home
,
and
the
sooner
I
got
going
the
sooner
the
trip
would
be
done
.
"
That
I
wish
I
did
know
,
Deputy
McGee
,
"
I
said
,
"
but
I
do
n't
.
The
only
thing
I
know
tonight
for
a
fact
is
that
second
piece
of
pie
was
a
mistake
.
