nty on the night of November 20th; Dean and Harry and I went down to our one occupied cell; where John Coffey sat on the end of his bunk with his hands clasped between his knees and a tiny dab of meatloaf gravy on the collar of his blue shirt。 He looked out through the bars at us; a lot calmer than we felt; it seemed。 My hands were cold and my temples were throbbing。 It was one thing to know he was willing … it made it at least possible for us to do our job … but it was another to know we were going to electrocute him for someone else's crime。
I had last seen Hal Moores around seven that evening。 He was in his office; buttoning up his overcoat。 His face was pale; his hands shaking so badly that he e production of those buttons。 I almost wanted to knock his fingers aside and do the coat up myself; like you would with a little kid。 The irony was that Melinda had looked better when Jan and I went to see her the previous weekend than Hal had looked earlier on John Coffey's execution evening。
〃I won't be staying for this one;〃 he had said。 〃Curtis will be there; and I know Coffey will be in good hands with you and Brutus。〃
〃Yes; sir; we'll do our best〃; I said。 〃Is there any word on Percy?〃 Is he ing back around? is what I meant; of course。 Is he even now sitting in a room somewhere and telling someone … some doctor; most likely … about how we zipped him into the nut…coat and threw him into the restraint room like any other problem child 。。。 any other lugoon;
