talking…to；　and　perhaps　a　bit　more。　My　own　girls；　sir；　didnt　care　for　the

Overlook　at　first。　One　of　them　actually　stole　a　pack　of　my　matches　and　tried　to

burn　it　down。　I　corrected　them。　I　corrected　them　most　harshly。　And　when　my　wife

tried　to　stop　me　from　doing　my　duty；　I　corrected　her。〃　He　offered　Jack　a　bland；

meaningless　smile。　〃I　find　it　a　sad　but　true　fact　that　women　rarely　understand　a

fathers　responsibility　to　his　children。　Husbands　and　fathers　do　have　certain

responsibilities；　dont　they；　sir？〃

〃Yes；〃　Jack　said。

〃They　didnt　love　the　Overlook　as　I　did；〃　Grady　said；　beginning　to　make　him

another　drink。　Silver　bubbles　rose　in　the　upended　gin　bottle。　〃Just　as　your　son

and　wife　dont　love　it。　Not　at　present；　anyway。　But　they　will　e　to　love　it。

You　must　show　them　the　error　of　their　ways；　Mr。　Torrance。　Do　you　agree？〃

〃Yes。　I　do。〃

He　did　see。　He　had　been　too　easy　with　them。　Husbands　and　fathers　did　have

certain　responsibilities。　Father　Knows　Best。　They　did　not　understand。　That　in

itself　was　no　crime；　but　they　were　willfully　not　understanding。　He　was　not

ordinarily　a　harsh　man。　But　he　did　believe　in　punishment。　And　if　his　son　and　his

wife　had　willfully　set　themselves　against　his　wishes；　against　the　things　he　knew

were　best　for　them；　then　didnt　he　have　a　certain　duty　—　？

〃A　thankless　child　is　sharper　than　a　serpents　tooth；〃　Grady　said；　handing　him

his　drink。　〃I　do　believe　that　the　manager　could　bring　your　son　into　line。　And

your　wife　would　shortly　follow。　Do　you　agree；　sir？〃

He　was　suddenly　uncertain。　〃I　。。。　but　。。。　if　they　could　just　leave　。。。　I

mean；　after　all；　its　me　the　manager　wants；　isnt　it？　It　must　be。　Because　—　〃

Because　why？　He　should　know　but　suddenly　he　didnt。　Oh；　his　poor　brain　was

swimming。

〃Bad　dog！〃　Derwent　was　saying　loudly；　to　a　counterpoint　of　laughter。　〃Bad　dog

to　piddle　on　the　floor。〃

〃Of　course　you　know；〃　Grady　said；　leaning　confidentially　over　the　cart；　〃your

son　is　attempting　to　bring　an　outside　party　into　it。　Your　son　has　a　very　great

talent；　one　that　the　manager　could　use　to　even　further　improve　the　Overlook；　to

further　。。。　enrich　it；　shall　we　say？　But　your　son　is　attempting　to　use　that

very　talent　against　us。　He　is　willful；　Mr。　Torrance；　Sir。　Willful。〃

〃Outside　party？〃　Jack　asked　stupidly。

Grady　nodded。
