上海龙凤shlf最新地址we were all in on it Probably he did believe it. 

He went into Andy's cell and looked around. It was just as Andy had left it, the sheets of 

his bunk turned back but without looking slept-in. Rocks on the windowsill... but not all 

of them. The ones he liked best he took with him. 

'Rocks,' Norton hissed, and swept them off the window-ledge with a clatter. Gonyar, 

already four hours overtime, winced but said nothing. 

Norton's eyes fell on the Linda Ronstadt poster. Linda was looking back over her 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址shoulder, her hands tucked into the back pockets of a very tight pair of fawn-coloured 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址slacks. She was wearing a halter and she had a deep California tan. It must have offended 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址the hell out of Norton's Baptist sensibilities, that poster. Watching him glare at it, I 

remembered what Andy had once said about feeling he could almost step through the 

picture and be with the girl. 

In a very real way, that was exactly what he did - as Norton was only seconds from 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址discovering. 

'Wretched thing!' he grunted, and ripped the poster from the wall with a single swipe of 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址his hand. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And revealed the gaping, crumbled hole in the concrete behind it. Gonyar wouldn't go in. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Norton ordered him - God, they must have heard Norton ordering Rich Gonyar to go in 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址there all over the prison - and Gonyar just refused him, point-blank. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'I'll have your job for this!' Norton screamed. He was as hysterical as a woman having a 

hot-flush. He had utterly blown his cool. His neck had turned a rich, dark red, and two 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址veins stood out, throbbing, on his forehead. 'You can count on it, you ... you Frenchman! 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址I'll have your job and I'll see to it that you never get another one in any prison system in 

New England!' 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Gonyar silently held out his service pistol to Norton, butt first. He'd had enough. He was 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址four hours overtime, going on five, and he'd just had enough. It was as if Andy's 

defection from our happy little family had driven Norton right over the edge of some 

private irrationality that had been there for a long time ... certainly he was crazy that 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址night. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址I don't know what that private irrationality might have been, of course. But I do know 

that there were twenty-eight cons listening to Norton's little dust-up with Rich Gonyar 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址that evening as the last of the light faded from a dull late winter sky, all of us hard-timers 

and long-line riders who had seen the administrators come and go, the hard-asses and the' 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址candy-asses alike, and we all knew that Warden Samuel Norton had just passed what the 

engineers like to call 'the breaking strain'. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And by God, it almost seemed to me that somewhere I could heard Andy Dufresne 

laughing. 

Norton finally got a skinny drink, of water on the night shift to go into that hole that had 

been behind Andy's poster of Linda Ronstadt. The skinny guard's name was Rory 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Tremont, and he was not exactly a ball of fire in the brains department. Maybe he thought 

he was going to win a Bronze Star or something. As it turned out, it was fortunate that 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Norton got someone of Andy's approximate height and build to go in there; if they had 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址sent a big-assed fellow - as most prison guards seem to be - the guy would have stuck in
