moment　later　there　were　running　footsteps　on　the　stairs。　Wendy　Torrance　at　first

shrank　back　against　him　and　then　began　to　stumble　down　the　main　corridor　to　the

stairs　as　fast　as　she　could。

〃Danny！　Danny！　Oh；　thank　God！　Thank　God！〃

She　swept　him　into　a　hug；　groaning　with　joy　as　well　as　her　pain。

（Danny。）

Danny　looked　at　him　from　his　mother's　arms；　and　Hallorann　saw　how　the　boy　had

changed。　His　face　was　pale　and　pinched；　his　eyes　dark　and　fathomless。　He　looked

as　if　he　had　lost　weight。　Looking　at　the　two　of　them　together；　Hallorann　thought

sending　giant　throbbing　bursts　of　pain　up　to　his　temple　and　down　his　neck；　and

his　cheek　felt　as　large　as　a　cabbage。　But　the　boy's　urgency　had　gotten　him

going；　and　it　got　a　little　easier。

〃All　right？〃　Wendy　asked。　She　looked　from　Hallorann　to　her　son　and　back　to
