you wouldn't allow your son up in the attic under any
circumstances。〃
〃No;〃 Jack said; and flashed the big PR smile again。 Humiliating situation。
Did this officious little prick actually think he would allow his son to goof
around in a rattrap attic full of junk furniture and God knew what else?
Ullman whisked away the attic floor plan and put it on the bottom of the pile。
〃The Overlook has one hundred and ten guest quarters;〃 he said in a scholarly
voice。 〃Thirty of them; all suites; are here on the third floor。 Ten in the west
wing (including the Presidential Suite); ten in the center; ten more in the east
wing。 All of them mand magnificent views。〃
Could you at least spare the salestalk?
But he kept quiet。 He needed the job。
Ullman put the third floor on the bottom of the pile and they studied the
second floor。
〃Forty rooms;〃 Ullman said; 〃thirty doubles and ten singles。 And on the first

which is at the extreme east end of the hotel on the second floor and the
extreme west end on the first。 Questions?〃
Jack shook his head。 Ullman whisked the second and first floors away。
〃Now。 Lobby level: Here in the center is the registration desk。 Behind it are
the offices。 The lobby runs for eighty feet in either direction from the desk。
Over here in the west wing is the Overlook Dining Room and the Colorado Lounge。
The banquet and ballroom facility is in the east wing。 Questions?〃
〃Only about the basement;〃 Jack said。 〃For the winter caretaker; that's the
most important level of all。 Where the action is; so to speak。〃
