The
press
,
which
had
had
so
much
to
say
about
the
business
of
the
rats
,
fell
silent
.
This
is
because
rats
die
in
the
street
and
people
in
their
bedrooms
;
and
newspapers
are
only
concerned
with
the
street
.
But
the
Prefecture
and
the
Hôtel
de
Ville
were
starting
to
wonder
.
As
long
as
each
doctor
was
not
aware
of
more
than
two
or
three
cases
,
no
one
thought
to
do
anything
.
But
,
after
all
,
someone
only
had
to
decide
to
do
an
addition
,
and
the
tally
was
disturbing
.
In
barely
a
few
days
the
number
of
fatal
cases
multiplied
,
and
it
was
clear
to
those
who
were
concerned
with
this
curious
illness
that
they
were
dealing
with
a
real
epidemic
.
This
was
when
Castel
,
one
of
Rieux
’
s
colleagues
,
though
much
older
,
came
to
see
him
.
"
Of
course
,
"
he
said
,
"
you
know
what
it
is
,
Rieux
,
don
’
t
you
?
"
"
I
’
m
waiting
for
the
results
of
the
tests
.
"
"
Well
,
I
know
.
And
I
don
’
t
need
tests
.
I
spent
part
of
my
life
working
in
China
,
and
I
saw
a
few
cases
in
Paris
,
twenty
years
ago
—
though
no
one
dared
put
a
name
to
it
at
that
time
.
Public
opinion
is
sacred
:
no
panic
,
above
all
no
panic
.
Then
,
as
a
colleague
told
me
:
"
It
’
s
impossible
,
everyone
knows
it
has
vanished
from
the
West
.
"
Yes
,
everyone
knew
that
,
except
the
dead
.
Come
on
,
Rieux
,
you
know
as
well
as
I
do
what
it
is
.
"
Rieux
thought
.
Out
of
his
study
window
he
looked
at
the
shoulder
of
the
stony
cliff
that
closed
around
the
bay
in
the
distance
.
Though
the
sky
was
blue
it
had
a
dull
sheen
that
was
softening
as
the
afternoon
went
on
.
"
Yes
,
Castel
,
"
he
said
.
"
It
’
s
almost
impossible
to
believe
.
But
it
appears
that
it
must
be
the
plague
.
"
Castel
got
up
and
went
towards
the
door
.
"
You
know
what
they
’
ll
tell
us
,
"
the
old
doctor
said
.
"
It
disappeared
from
temperate
lands
years
ago
.
"
"
What
does
it
mean
,
"
disappeared
"
?
"
Rieux
replied
,
shrugging
his
shoulders
.
