Wendy　made　a　moaning　noise。

For　a　moment　they　were　still；　the　three　of　them；　and　then　Jack　grabbed　for　his

son　and　said；　〃Danny；　Im　sorry；　you　okay；　doc？〃

〃You　hit　him；　you　bastardl〃　Wendy　cried。　〃You　dirty　bastard！〃

She　grabbed　his　other　arm　and　for　a　moment　Danny　was　pulled　between　them。

〃Oh　please　stop　pulling　me！〃　he　screamed　at　them；　and　there　was　such　agony　in

his　voice　that　they　both　let　go　of　him；　and　then　the　tears　had　to　e　and　he

collapsed；　weeping；　between　the　sofa　and　the　window；　his　parents　staring　at　him

helplessly；　the　way　children　might　stare　at　a　toy　broken　in　a　furious　tussle

over　to　whom　it　belonged。　In　the　fireplace　another　pine…knot　exploded　like　a

hand　grenade；　making　them　all　jump。

Wendy　gave　him　baby　aspirin　and　Jack　slipped　him；　unprotesting；　between　the

〃I　dont　like　that；〃　she　said。　〃Its　a　regression。〃

Jack　didnt　reply。

She　looked　at　him　softly；　without　anger；　without　a　smile；　either。　〃You　want　me

to　apologize　for　calling　you　a　bastard？　All　right；　I　apologize。　Im　sorry。　You

still　shouldnt　have　hit　him。

〃I　know；〃　he　muttered。　〃I　know　that。　I　dont　know　what　the　hell　came　over　me。〃

〃You　promised　youd　never　hit　him　again。〃

He　looked　at　her　furiously；　and　then　the　fury　collapsed。　Suddenly；　with　pity

and　horror；　she　saw　what　Jack　would　look　like　as　an　old　man。　She　had　never　seen

him　look　that　way　before。

（？what　way？）

Defeated；　she　answered　herself。　He　looks　beaten。

He　said：　〃I　always　thought　I　could　keep　my　promises。〃

She　went　to　him　and　put　her　hands　on　his　arm。　〃All　right；　its　over。　And　when

the　ranger　es　to　check　us；　well　tell　him　we　all　want　to　go　down。　All　right？〃

〃All　right；〃　Jack　said；　and　at　that　moment；　at　least；　he　meant　it。　The　same

way　he　had　always　meant　it　on　those　mornings　after；　looking　at　his　pale　and
