She　was　looking　rather　sharply　at　the　man　in　the　gray　uniform；　who　was

supervising　the　loading。　Why　would　she　want　to　get　that　man's　pants？　Was　she

cold；　even　with　that　long　fur　coat　on？　And　if　she　was　that　cold；　why　hadn't　she

just　put　on　some　pants　of　her　own？　His　mommy　wore　pants　just　about　all　winter。

The　man　in　the　gray　uniform　closed　the　trunk　and　walked　back　to　help　her　into

were　happy　and　loving　each　other；　but　he　couldn't　help　being　a　little　worried。

He　couldn't　help　it。

personage　at　all。　To　begin　with；　such　a　personage　was　called　a　chef；　nothing　so

mundane　as　a　cook　—　cooking　was　what　she　did　in　her　apartment　kitchen　when　she

threw　all　the　leftovers　into　a　greased　Pyrex　casserole　dish　and　added　noodles。

Further；　the　culinary　wizard　of　such　a　place　as　the　Overlook；　which　advertised

in　the　resort　section　of　the　New　York　Sunday　Times；　should　be　small；　rotund；　and
