"
I
know
the
name
,
"
Jack
said
.
"
Yes
.
Everything
he
touched
seemed
to
turn
to
gold
…
except
the
Overlook
.
He
funneled
over
a
million
dollars
into
it
before
the
first
postwar
guest
ever
stepped
through
its
doors
,
turning
a
decrepit
relic
into
a
showplace
.
It
was
Derwent
who
added
the
roque
court
I
saw
you
admiring
when
you
arrived
.
"
"
Roque
?
"
"
A
British
forebear
of
our
croquet
,
Mr
.
Torrance
.
Croquet
is
bastardized
roque
.
According
to
legend
,
Derwent
learned
the
game
from
his
social
secretary
and
fell
completely
in
love
with
it
.
Ours
may
be
the
finest
roque
court
in
America
.
"
"
I
wouldn
’
t
doubt
it
,
"
Jack
said
gravely
.
A
roque
court
,
a
topiary
full
of
hedge
animals
out
front
,
what
next
?
A
life
-
sized
Uncle
Wiggly
game
behind
the
equipment
shed
?
He
was
getting
very
tired
of
Mr
.
Stuart
Ullman
,
but
he
could
see
that
Ullman
wasn
’
t
done
.
Ullman
was
going
to
have
his
say
,
every
last
word
of
it
.
"
When
he
had
lost
three
million
,
Derwent
sold
it
to
a
group
of
California
investors
.
Their
experience
with
the
Overlook
was
equally
bad
.
Just
not
hotel
people
.
"
In
1970
,
Mr
.
Shockley
and
a
group
of
his
associates
bought
the
hotel
and
turned
its
management
over
to
me
.
We
have
also
run
in
the
red
for
several
years
,
but
I
’
m
happy
to
say
that
the
trust
of
the
present
owners
in
me
has
never
wavered
.
Last
year
we
broke
even
.
And
this
year
the
Overlook
’
s
accounts
were
written
in
black
ink
for
the
first
time
in
almost
seven
decades
.
"
Jack
supposed
that
this
fussy
little
man
’
s
pride
was
justified
,
and
then
his
original
dislike
washed
over
him
again
in
a
wave
.
He
said
:
"
I
see
no
connection
between
the
Overlook
’
s
admittedly
colorful
history
and
your
feeling
that
I
’
m
wrong
for
the
post
,
Mr
.
Ullman
.
