features　seemed　much　softer。

〃It　will　be　all　right；〃　she　said。

Hallorann　made　a　smile　and　nodded。

As　advertised　the　plane　came　down　hard；　reuniting　with　the　earth　forcefully

enough　to　knock　most　of　the　magazines　out　of　the　rack　at　the　front　and　to　send

plastic　trays　cascading　out　of　the　galley　like　oversized　playing　cards。　No　one

screamed；　but　Hallorann　heard　several　sets　of　teeth　clicking　violently　together

like　gypsy　castanets。

Then　the　turbine　engines　rose　to　a　howl；　braking　the　plane；　and　as　they

dropped　in　volume　the　pilots　soft　southern　voice；　perhaps　not　pletely

steady；　came　over　the　inter　system。　〃Ladies　and　gentlemen；　we　have　landed　at

Stapleton　Airport。　Please　remain　in　your　seats　until　the　plane　has　e　to　a

plete　stop　at　the　terminal。　Thank　you。〃

The　woman　beside　Hallorann　closed　her　book　and　uttered　a　long　sigh。　〃We　live

to　fight　another　day；　Mr。　Hallorann。〃

〃Maam；　we　arent　done　with　this　one；　yet。〃

〃True。　Very　true。　Would　you　care　to　have　a　drink　in　the　lounge　with　me？〃

〃I　would；　but　I　have　an　appointment　to　keep。〃

〃Pressing？〃

〃Very　pressing；〃　Hallorann　said　gravely。

〃Something　that　will　improve　the　general　situation　in　some　small　way；　I　hope。〃

〃I　hope　so　too；〃　Hallorann　said；　and　smiled。　She　smiled　back　at　him；　ten　years

dropping　silently　from　her　face　as　she　did　so。

*　*　*

Because　he　had　only　the　flight　bag　hed　carried　for　luggage；　Hallorann　beat

the　crowd　to　the　Hertz　desk　on　the　lower　level。　Outside　the　smoked　glass　windows

he　could　see　the　snow　still　falling　steadily。　The　gusting　wind　drove　white

clouds　of　it　back　and　forth；　and　the　people　walking　across　to　the　parking　area

were　struggling　against　it。　One　man　lost　his　hat　and　Hallorann　could　miserate

with　him　as　it　whirled　high；　wide；　and　handsome。　The　man　stared　after　it　and

Hallorann　thought：

（Aw；　just　forget　it；　man。　That　homburg　aint　in　down　until　it　gets　to

Arizona。）

On　the　heels　of　that　thought：

（If　its　this　bad　in　Denver；　whats　it　going　to　be　like　west　of　Boulder？）

Best　not　to　think　about　that；　maybe。
