through a series of S…shaped switchbacks; was a pearly chain of lights。 The wind

dropped for a moment and Hallorann heard the faraway buzzing snarl of snowmobile

engines。

Hallorann and Danny and Wendy reached them fifteen minutes later。 They had

brought extra clothes and brandy and Dr。 Edmunds。

And the long darkness was over。

EPILOGUESUMMER

After he had finished checking over the salads his understudy had made and

peeked in on the home…baked beans they were using as appetizers this week;

Hallorann untied his apron; hung it on a hook; and slipped out the back door。 He

had maybe forty…five minutes before he had to crank up for dinner in earnest。

The name of this place was the Red Arrow Lodge; and it was buried in the

western Maine mountains; thirty miles from the town of Rangely。 It was a good

gig; Hallorann thought。 The trade wasnt too heavy; it tipped well; and so far

there hadnt been a single meal sent back。 Not bad at all; considering the

season was nearly half over。

He threaded his way between the outdoor bar and the swimming pool (although

why anyone would want to use the pool with the lake so handy he would never

know); crossed a greensward where a party of four was playing croquet and

laughing; and crested a mild ridge。 Pines took over here; and the wind soughed

pleasantly in them; carrying the aroma of fir and sweet resin。

On the other side; a number of cabins with views of the lake were placed

discreetly among the trees。 The last one was the nicest; and Hallorann had

reserved it for a party of two back in April when he had gotten this gig。

The woman was sitting on the porch in a rocking chair; a book in her hands。

Hallorann was struck again by the change in her。 Part of it was the stiff;

almost formal way she sat; in spite of her informal surroundings — that was the

back brace; of course。 Shed had a shattered vertebra as well as three broken

ribs and some internal injuries。 The back was the slowest healing; and she was

still in the brace 。。。 hence the formal posture。 But the change was more than

that。 She looked older; and some of the laughter had gone out of her face。 Now;

as she sat reading her book; Hallorann saw a grave sort of beauty there that had

been missing on the day he had first met her; some nine months ago。 Then she had

still been mostly girl。 Now she was a woman; a human being who had been dragged

around to the dark side of the moon and had e back able to put the pieces

back together。 But those pieces; Hallorann thought; they never fit just the same
