Yes
,
just
as
it
is
possible
that
the
number
of
cures
will
increase
.
"
This
uncertainty
,
which
everyone
found
disturbing
,
had
visibly
been
a
relief
to
Cottard
.
In
front
of
Tarrou
he
had
engaged
in
conversations
with
the
shopkeepers
of
his
area
,
in
which
he
tried
to
spread
Rieux
’
s
opinion
.
Admittedly
,
he
had
no
difficulty
in
doing
so
because
,
after
the
thrill
of
the
first
victories
,
doubt
had
returned
to
many
minds
and
was
to
survive
the
excitement
caused
by
the
declaration
from
the
Prefecture
.
Cottard
was
reassured
by
the
sight
of
this
anxiety
.
But
,
at
other
times
,
he
was
downcast
.
"
Yes
,
"
he
told
Tarrou
.
"
They
will
open
the
gates
eventually
and
,
you
’
ll
see
,
they
’
ll
all
drop
me
!
"
Up
to
January
25
,
everyone
noticed
the
instability
of
his
character
.
For
whole
days
on
end
,
after
having
for
so
long
tried
to
get
on
good
terms
with
his
acquaintances
and
neighbours
,
he
openly
quarrelled
with
them
.
At
least
in
appearance
he
retired
from
the
world
and
from
one
day
to
the
next
started
to
live
like
a
wild
animal
.
He
no
longer
appeared
in
restaurants
,
at
the
theatre
or
in
his
favourite
cafes
.
Yet
he
seemed
unable
to
resume
the
sensible
,
obscure
life
that
he
had
led
before
the
epidemic
.
He
lived
completely
shut
up
in
his
apartment
and
had
his
meals
sent
up
from
a
nearby
restaurant
.
Only
in
the
evening
did
he
make
furtive
sorties
to
buy
what
he
needed
,
emerging
from
the
shops
to
hurry
down
empty
streets
.
If
Tarrou
should
meet
him
on
such
occasions
,
he
could
only
get
monosyllables
out
of
him
.
Then
,
without
any
period
of
transition
,
he
became
sociable
again
,
talking
volubly
about
the
plague
,
asking
everyone
for
their
opinion
and
happily
returning
every
evening
into
the
crowd
.
On
the
day
of
the
declaration
from
the
authorities
,
Cottard
completely
vanished
from
circulation
.
Two
days
later
Tarrou
met
him
wandering
through
the
streets
.
Cottard
asked
him
to
walk
as
far
as
the
outskirts
of
the
town
with
him
.
Tarrou
hesitated
,
feeling
unusually
tired
after
his
day
’
s
work
.
But
the
other
man
insisted
.
He
seemed
very
excited
,
gesticulating
wildly
and
speaking
quickly
,
in
a
loud
voice
.
He
asked
his
companion
if
he
thought
that
the
declaration
from
the
Prefecture
really
marked
an
end
to
the
plague
.
Of
course
,
Tarrou
considered
that
an
administrative
declaration
was
not
in
itself
enough
to
halt
a
pestilence
,
but
that
one
could
now
reasonably
believe
that
the
epidemic
was
going
to
end
,
unless
something
unforeseen
happened
.
"
Yes
,
"
said
Cottard
.
"
Unless
something
unforeseen
happens
.
And
the
unforeseen
can
always
happen
.
"
Tarrou
pointed
out
that
in
any
case
the
Prefecture
had
to
some
extent
foreseen
the
unforeseen
,
by
providing
for
a
period
of
two
weeks
before
the
gates
were
opened
.
"
They
were
right
to
do
so
,
"
said
Cottard
,
still
in
a
dark
and
agitated
mood
.
"
Because
with
the
way
things
are
going
,
they
might
well
have
been
wasting
their
breath
.
"
Tarrou
considered
this
possible
,
but
thought
that
it
was
still
better
to
look
forward
to
the
gates
being
opened
soon
and
life
returning
to
normal
.
"
Perhaps
,
"
Cottard
said
,
"
Perhaps
so
.
But
what
do
you
call
a
return
to
normal
life
?
"
