Watson　pointed　to　a　cobwebby　shelf　beside　the　utility　shaft。　There　were　a

number　of　greasy　rags　on　it；　and　a　looseleaf　binder。　〃That　there　is　all　your

plumbin　schematics；〃　he　said。　〃I　dont　think　youll　have　any　trouble　with

leaks　—　never　has　been　—　but　sometimes　the　pipes　freeze　up。　Only　way　to　stop　that

is　to　run　the　faucets　a　little　bit　durin　the　nights；　but　theres　over　four

hundred　taps　in　this　fuckin　palace。　That　fat　fairy　upstairs　would　scream　all　the

way　to　Denver　when　he　saw　the　water　bill。　Aint　that　right？〃

〃Id　say　thats　a　remarkably　astute　analysis。〃

Watson　looked　at　him　admiringly。　〃Say；　you　really　are　a　college　fella　arent

you？　Talk　just　like　a　book。　I　admire　that；　as　long　as　the　fella　aint　one　of

those　fairy…boys。　Lots　of　em　are。　You　know　who　stirred　up　all　those　college

riots　a　few　years　ago？　The　hommasexshuls；　thats　who。　They　get　frustrated　an

have　to　cut　loose。　in　out　of　the　closet；　they　call　it。　Holy　shit；　I　dont

know　what　the　worlds　in　to。

〃Now；　if　she　freezes；　she　most　likely　gonna　freeze　right　up　in　this　shaft。　No

heat；　you　see。　If　it　happens；　use　this。〃　He　reached　into　a　broken　orange　crate

and　produced　a　small　gas　torch。

〃You　just　unstrap　the　insulation　when　you　find　the　ice　plug　and　put　the　heat

right　to　her。　Get　it？〃

〃Yes。　But　what　if　a　pipe　freezes　outside　the　utility　core？〃

〃That　wont　happen　if　youre　doin　your　job　and　keepin　the　place　heated。　You

cant　get　to　the　other　pipes　anyway。　Dont　you　fret　about　it。　Youll　have　no

trouble。　Beastly　place　down　here。　Cobwebby。　Gives　me　the　horrors；　it　does。〃

〃Ullman　said　the　first　winter　caretaker　killed　his　family　and　himself。〃

〃Yeah；　that　guy　Grady。　He　was　a　bad　actor；　I　knew　that　the　minute　I　saw　him。

Always　grinnin　like　an　egg…suck　dog。　That　was　when　they　were　just　startin　out

here　and　that　fat　fuck　Ullman；　he　woulda　hired　the　Boston　Strangler　if　hedve

worked　for　minimum　wage。　Was　a　ranger　from　the　National　Park　that　found　em；　the

phone　was　out。　All　of　em　up　in　the　west　wing　on　the　third　floor；　froze　solid。

Too　bad　about　the　little　girls。　Eight　and　six；　they　was。　Cute　as　cut…buttons。

Oh；　that　was　a　hell　of　a　mess。　That　Ullman；　he　manages　some　honky…tonky　resort

place　down　in　Florida　in　the　off…season；　and　he　caught　a　plane　up　to　Denver　and

hired　a　sleigh　to　take　him　up　here　from　Sidewinder　because　the　roads　were

closed　—　a　sleigh；　can　you　believe　that？　He　about　split　a　gut　tryin　to　keep　it

out　of　the　papers。　Did　pretty　well；　I　got　to　give　him　that。　There　was　an　item　in

the　Denver　Post；　and　of　course　the　bituary　in　that　pissant　little　rag　they　have
