slams　a　songbook　into　your　hands　and　says；　‘Sing　it　out；　brother。　If　you　expect

to　stay　on　this　Wagon；　you　got　to　sing　morning；　noon；　and　night。　Especially　at

night。　And　thats　when　you　realize　what　the　Wagon　really　is；　Lloyd。　Its　a

church　with　bars　on　the　windows；　a　church　for　women　and　a　prison　for　you。〃

He　stopped。　Lloyd　was　gone。　Worse　still；　he　had　never　been　there。　The　drinks

had　never　been　there。　Only　the　people　in　the　booths；　the　people　from　the　costume

party；　and　he　could　almost　hear　their　muffled　laughter　as　they　held　their　hands

to　their　mouths　and　pointed；　their　eyes　sparkling　with　cruel　pinpoints　of　light。

He　whirled　around　again。　〃Leave　me　—　〃

（alone？）

All　the　booths　were　empty。　The　sound　of　laughter　had　died　like　a　stir　of

autumn　leaves。　Jack　stared　at　the　empty　lounge　for　a　tick　of　time；　his　eyes　wide

and　dark。　A　pulse　beat　noticeably　in　the　center　of　his　forehead。　In　the　very

center　of　him　a　cold　certainty　was　forming　and　the　certainty　was　that　he　was

losing　his　mind。　He　felt　an　urge　to　pick　up　the　bar　stool　next　to　him；　reverse

it；　and　go　through　the　place　like　an　avenging　whirlwind。　Instead　he　whirled　back

around　to　the　bar　and　began　to　bellow：

〃Roll　me　over

In　　　the　clo…ho…ver；

Roll　me　over；　lay　me　down　and　do　it　again。〃

Dannys　face　rose　before　him；　not　Dannys　normal　face；　lively　and　alert；　the

eyes　sparkling　and　open；　but　the　catatonic；　zombielike　face　of　a　stranger；　the

eyes　dull　and　opaque；　the　mouth　pursed　babyishly　around　his　thumb。　What　was　he

doing；　sitting　here　and　talking　to　himself　like　a　sulky　teen…ager　when　his　son

was　upstairs；　someplace；　acting　like　something　that　belonged　in　a　padded　room；

acting　the　way　Wally　Hollis　said　Vic　Stenger　had　been　before　the　men　in　the

white　coats　had　to　e　and　take　him　away？

（But　I　never　put　a　hand　on　him！　Goddammit；　I　didnt！）

〃Jack？〃　The　voice　was　timid；　hesitant。

He　was　so　startled　he　almost　fell　off　the　stool　whirling　it　around。　Wendy　was

standing　just　inside　the　batwing　doors；　Danny　cradled　in　her　arms　like　some

waxen　horror　show　dummy。　The　three　of　them　made　a　tableau　that　Jack　felt　very

strongly；　it　was　just　before　the　curtain　of　Act　II　in　some　oldtime　temperance
