Around
four
o'clock
,
Elaine
joined
me
,
just
as
she
had
promised
.
From
the
look
of
her
eyes
,
she
'd
done
a
little
more
crying
.
She
put
her
arms
around
me
and
hugged
me
tight
.
"
Poor
John
Coffey
,
"
she
said
.
"
And
poor
Paul
Edgecombe
,
too
.
"
Poor
Paul
,
I
heard
Jan
saying
.
Poor
old
guy
.
Elaine
began
to
cry
again
.
I
held
her
,
there
on
the
croquet
course
in
the
late
sunshine
.
Our
shadows
looked
as
if
they
were
dancing
.
Perhaps
in
the
Make
Believe
Ballroom
we
used
to
listen
to
on
the
radio
back
in
those
days
.

At
last
she
got
herself
under
control
and
drew
back
from
me
.
She
found
a
Kleenex
in
her
blouse
pocket
and
wiped
her
streaming
eyes
with
it
.
"
What
happened
to
the
Warden
's
wife
,
Paul
?
What
happened
with
Melly
?
"
"
She
was
considered
the
marvel
of
the
age
,
at
least
by
the
doctors
at
Indianola
Hospital
,
"
I
said
.
I
took
her
arm
and
we
began
to
walk
toward
the
path
which
led
away
from
the
employees
,
parking
lot
and
into
the
woods
.
Toward
the
shed
down
by
the
wall
between
Georgia
Pines
and
the
world
of
younger
people
.
"
She
died
--
of
a
heart
attack
,
not
a
brain
tumor
--
ten
or
eleven
years
later
.
In
forty-three
,
I
think
.
Hal
died
of
a
stroke
right
around
Pearl
Harbor
Day
--
could
have
been
on
Pearl
Harbor
Day
,
for
all
I
remember
--
so
she
outlived
him
by
two
years
.
Sort
of
ironic
.
"
"
And
Janice
?

"
I
'm
not
quite
prepared
for
that
today
,
"
I
said
.
"
I
'll
tell
you
another
time
.
"
"
Promise
?
"
"
Promise
.
"
But
that
was
one
I
never
kept
.
Three
months
after
the
day
we
walked
down
into
the
woods
together
(
I
would
have
held
her
hand
,
if
I
had
n't
been
afraid
of
hurting
her
bunched
and
swollen
fingers
)
,
Elaine
Connelly
died
quietly
in
her
bed
.
As
with
Melinda
Moores
,
death
came
as
the
result
of
a
heart
attack
.
The
orderly
who
found
her
said
she
looked
peaceful
,
as
if
it
had
come
suddenly
and
without
much
pain
.
I
hope
he
was
right
about
that
.
I
loved
Elaine
.
And
I
miss
her
.
Her
and
Janice
and
Brutal
and
just
all
of
them
.
