d on and not Coffey or one of you men。 And speaking of your men; Paul; will they all tell the same story?〃
〃Yes; sir;〃 I told him。 〃And they will;〃 I said to Jan; starting in on the soup she brought to the table。 〃Ill see to it。〃
〃You did lie;〃 she said。 〃You lied to Hal。〃
Well; thats a wife for you; isnt it? Always poking around for moth…holes in your best suit; and finding one more often than not。
〃I guess; if you want to look at it that way。 I didnt tell him anything we both wont be able to live with; though。 Hals in the clear; I think。 He wasnt even there; after all。 He was home tending his wife until Curtis called him。〃
〃Did he say how Melinda was?〃
〃Not then; there wasnt time; but we spoke again just as Brutal and I were leaving。 Melly doesnt remember much; but shes fine。 Up and walking。 Talking about next years flower beds。〃
My wife sat watching me eat for some little time。 Then she asked; 〃Does Hal know its a miracle; Paul? Does he understand that?〃
〃Yes。 We all do; all of us that were there。〃
〃Part of me wishes Id been there; too;〃 she said; 〃but I think most of me is glad I wasnt。 If Id seen the scales fall from Sauls eyes on the road to Damascus。 I probably would have died of a heart attack。〃
〃Naw;〃 I said; tilting my bowl to capture the last spoonful; 〃probably would have cooked him some soup。 This is pretty fine; hon。〃
〃Good。〃 But she wasnt really thinking about soup or cooking or Sauls conversion on the Damascus road。 She was looking out the window toward the ridges; her chin propped on her hand; her eyes as hazy as those ridges look on summer mornings when its going to be hot。 Summer mornings like the one when the Detterick girls had been found; I thought for no reason。 I wondered why they hadnt screamed。
Their killer had hurt them; there had been blood on the porch; and on the steps。 So why hadnt they screamed?
〃You think John Coffey really killed that man Wharton; dont you?〃 Janice asked; looking back from the window at last。 〃Not that it was an accident; or anything like that; you think he used Percy Wetmore on Wharton like a gun。〃
〃Yes。〃
〃Why?〃
〃I dont know。
〃Tell me again about what happened when you took Coffey off the Mile; would you? Just that part。〃
So I did。 I told her how the skinny arm shooting out from between the bars and grabbing John s bicep had reminded me of a snake…one of the water moccasins we were all scared of when we were kids swimming in the river … and how Coffey had said Wharton was a bad man。 Almost whispering it。
〃And Wharton said 。。。 ?〃 My wife was looking out the window again; but she was listening; all right。
〃Wharton said; Thats right; nigger; bad as youd want。; 〃
〃And thats all。〃
〃Yes。 I had a feeling that something was going to happen right then; but nothing did。 Brutal took Whartons hand off John and told him to lie down; which Wharton did。 He was out on his feet to start with。 Said something about how niggers should have their own electric chair; and that was all。 We went about our business。〃
〃John Coffey called him a bad man。〃
〃Yep。 Said the same thing about Percy once; too。 Maybe more than once。 I cant remember exactly when; but I know he did。〃
〃But Wharton never did anything to John Coffey personally; did he? Like he did to Percy; I mean。〃
〃No。 The way their cells were … Wharton up by the duty desk on one side; John down a ways on the other … they could hardly see each other。〃
