56 | Paul pushed his chair away from the [Writing Desk][] and stared at the notecard. | ||
57 | He stood up, knocked his head on the lightbulb, swore. | ||
58 | He pulled the notecard from his typewriter and crumpled it up with his left hand. | ||
59 | With his right hand he reached in his pocket and pulled out his cigarettes. | ||
60 | He put one in his mouth, threw the paper in the corner, grabbed his axe, went out into the woods. | ||
