She shook her head impatiently。 〃The doctor was full of shit and we both know

〃Did you really know Uncle Al had called me； Danny？〃
Danny nodded。 〃He was really mad； Daddy。 Because you called Mr。 Ullman and Mr。

〃Rum； like yo…ho…ho and a bottle of rum？〃 Jack asked。
Danny shook his head again。 〃I don't know。 Then we got here； and Mr。 Hallorann
