will　do　so。　But　if　I　had　been　given　a　free　hand　in　this　matter；　I　would　not　have

taken　you　on。〃

Jacks　hands　were　clenched　tightly　in　his　lap；　working　against　each　other；

sweating。　Officious　little　prick；　officious

〃I　dont　believe　you　care　much　for　me；　Mr。　Torrance。　I

little　prick；　officious　—

dont　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　dont　think

many　of　them　like　me　and　I　suspect　that　some　of　them　think　Im　a　bit　of　a
