第50部分(第1页)

She stood away from him; her face turned up to his。 〃Thank you。〃

〃Right wele; maam。〃

She turned to Hal and walked back to him。 He put his arms around her。

〃Paul…〃 It was Harry。 He held his right wrist out to me and tapped the face of his watch。 It was pressing on to three oclock。 Light would start showing by four…thirty。 If we wanted to get Coffey back to Cold Mountain before that happened; we would have to go soon。 And I wanted to get him back。 Partly because the longer this went on the worse our chances of getting away with it became; yes; of course。 But I also wanted John in a place where I could legitimately call a doctor for him; if the need arose。 Looking at him; I thought it might。

The Mooreses were sitting on the edge of the bed; arms around each other。 I thought of asking Hal out into the living room for a private word; then realized I could ask until the cows came home and he wouldnt budge from where he was right then。 He might be able to take his eyes off her … for a few seconds; at least … by the time the sun came up; but not now。

〃Hal;〃 I said。 〃We have to go now。〃

He nodded; not looking at me。 He was studying the color in his wifes cheeks; the natural unstrained curve of his wifes lips; the new black in his wifes hair。

I tapped him on the shoulder; hard enough to get his attention for a moment; at least。

〃Hal; we never came here。〃

〃What … ?〃

〃We never came here;〃 I said。 〃Later on well talk; but for now thats all you need to know。 We were never here。…〃

〃Yes; all right He forced himself to focus on me for a moment; with what was clearly an effort。 〃You got him out。 Can you get him back in?〃

〃I think so。 Maybe。 But we need to go。〃

〃How did you know he could do this?〃 Then he shook his head; as if realizing for himself that this wasnt the time。 〃Paul 。。。 thank you。〃

〃Dont thank me;〃 I said。 〃Thank John。〃

He looked at John Coffey; then put out one hand … just as I had done on the day Harry and Percy escorted John onto the block。 〃Thank you。 Thank you so much。〃

John looked at the hand。 Brutal threw a none…too…subtle elbow into his side。 John started; then took the hand and gave it a shake。 Up; down; back to center; release。 〃Wele;〃 he said in a hoarse voice。 It sounded to me like Mellys when she had clapped her hands and told John to pull down his pants。 〃Wele;〃 he said to the man who would; in the ordinary course of things; grasp a pen with that hand and then sign John Coffeys execution order with it。

Harry tapped the face of his watch; more urgently this time。

〃Brute?〃 I said。 〃Ready?〃

〃Hello; Brutus;〃 Melinda said in a cheerful voice; as if noticing him for the first time。 〃Its good to see you。 Would you gentlemen like tea? Would you; Hal? I could make it。〃 She got up again。 〃Ive been ill; but I feel fine now。 Better than I have in years。〃

〃Thank you; Missus Moores; but we have to go;〃 Brutal said。 〃Its past Johns bedtime。〃 He smiled to show it was a joke; but the look he gave John was as anxious as I felt。

〃Well 。。。 if youre sure

〃Yes; maam。 e on; John Coffey。〃 He tugged Johns arm to get him going; and John went。

〃Just a minute!〃 Melinda shook free of Hals hand and ran as lightly as a girl to where John stood。 She put her arms around him and gave him another hug。 Then she reached around to the nape of her neck and pulled a fine…link chain out of her bodice。 At the end of it was a silver medallion。 She held it out to John; who looked at it unprehendingly。

〃Its St。 Christopher;〃 she said。 〃I want you to have it; Mr。 Coffey; and wear it。 Hell keep you safe。 Please wear it。 For me。〃

John looked at me; troubled; and I looked at Hal; who first spread his hands and then nodded。

〃Take it; John;〃 I said。 〃Its a present。〃

John took it; slipped the chain around his bullneck; and dropped the St。 Christopher medallion into the front of his shirt。 He had pletely stopped coughing now; but I thought he looked grayer and sicker than ever。

〃Thank you; maam;〃 he said。

〃No;〃 she replied。 〃Thank you。 Thank you; John Coffey。〃
