"
You
see
what
I
ll
do
with
it
,
"
Grand
said
.
And
,
turning
to
the
window
,
added
:
"
When
all
this
is
over
.
"
652
But
the
sounds
of
running
feet
returned
.
Rieux
was
already
going
downstairs
and
two
men
ran
past
him
when
he
reached
the
street
.
They
appeared
to
be
going
towards
the
town
gates
.
In
fact
,
some
of
our
fellow
-
citizens
,
driven
out
of
their
minds
by
the
heat
and
the
idea
of
plague
,
had
resorted
to
violence
and
tried
to
evade
the
guards
on
the
barriers
in
order
to
flee
the
town
.

Others
,
like
Rambert
,
were
also
trying
to
escape
from
the
atmosphere
of
increasing
panic
,
though
with
more
obstinacy
and
skill
,
if
not
more
success
.
655
At
first
Rambert
had
continued
to
work
through
official
channels
.
He
had
always
said
that
he
thought
obstinacy
would
eventually
triumph
over
anything
and
,
in
some
ways
,
his
job
involved
using
his
wits
to
get
round
problems
.
So
he
went
to
see
a
large
number
of
civil
servants
and
people
whose
competence
one
did
not
usually
question
.
But
,
in
the
circumstances
,
this
competence
was
useless
to
them
.
Most
of
the
time
they
were
men
who
had
precise
and
fixed
notions
about
everything
to
do
with
banking
,
or
exports
,
or
citrus
fruits
,
or
perhaps
the
wine
trade
.
They
had
undeniable
expertise
in
problems
of
litigation
or
insurance
,
not
to
mention
excellent
qualifications
and
evident
goodwill
.
You
might
even
say
that
the
most
striking
thing
among
all
of
them
was
their
goodwill
.
But
when
it
came
to
the
plague
,
their
knowledge
was
more
or
less
nil
.
656
However
,
Rambert
had
put
his
case
to
each
of
them
,
whenever
it
was
possible
.
The
basis
of
his
argument
remained
the
same
:
he
said
that
he
was
a
foreigner
in
our
town
and
that
,
consequently
,
his
case
should
be
given
special
consideration
.
In
general
,
those
the
journalist
approached
were
willing
to
concede
the
point
.
But
most
of
the
time
they
argued
that
a
number
of
other
people
were
in
this
situation
and
so
his
case
was
not
as
exceptional
as
he
imagined
.
657
To
this
Rambert
might
reply
that
it
did
not
alter
the
substance
of
his
argument
at
all
,
to
which
they
answered
that
it
did
alter
something
in
respect
of
administration
,
this
being
unfavourable
to
any
measure
of
exemption
that
might
tend
to
create
what
,
with
expressions
of
great
repugnance
,
they
called
"
a
precedent
"
.
According
to
the
classification
which
Rambert
suggested
to
Dr
Rieux
,
those
who
argued
in
this
way
belonged
to
the
category
of
Formalists
.
In
addition
to
these
,
there
were
also
the
Fine
Words
,
who
assured
the
client
that
none
of
this
could
last
and
who
,
full
of
good
advice
when
what
one
wanted
from
them
was
a
decision
,
consoled
Rambert
by
telling
him
that
all
this
was
only
a
temporary
inconvenience
.
There
were
also
the
High
and
Mighty
,
who
requested
the
visitor
to
leave
a
note
summarizing
his
case
and
told
him
that
they
would
give
a
ruling
on
it
;
the
Futile
,
who
offered
housing
coupons
or
the
addresses
of
cheap
boarding
houses
;
the
Methodical
,
who
got
you
to
fill
out
a
form
,
then
filed
it
;
the
Overworked
,
who
held
their
hands
in
the
air
;
and
the
Interrupted
,
who
looked
in
the
other
direction
.
And
finally
there
were
the
Traditionalists
,
by
far
the
greatest
number
,
who
directed
Rambert
to
another
office
or
suggested
some
alternative
course
of
action
.

So
the
journalist
had
exhausted
himself
with
visits
and
gained
a
clear
idea
of
how
an
hôtel
de
ville
or
a
prefecture
worked
,
after
waiting
on
an
imitation
leather
bench
in
front
of
large
posters
inviting
him
to
subscribe
to
an
issue
of
tax
-
free
bonds
or
to
join
the
colonial
army
,
and
going
into
one
office
after
another
where
he
could
as
easily
foresee
the
faces
that
would
greet
him
as
the
filing
cabinets
and
the
shelves
of
dossiers
.
The
good
thing
about
all
this
,
as
Rambert
told
Rieux
,
with
a
hint
of
bitterness
,
was
that
it
hid
the
real
situation
from
him
.
He
was
practically
unaware
of
the
spread
of
the
plague
.
Not
to
mention
that
it
made
the
days
go
by
faster
and
,
in
the
situation
in
which
the
whole
town
found
itself
,
you
might
say
that
every
day
that
went
by
brought
each
man
,
provided
he
did
not
die
,
closer
to
the
end
of
his
troubles
.
Rieux
had
to
acknowledge
that
this
was
true
,
but
that
as
truths
go
,
it
was
rather
a
broad
one
.
659
At
a
particular
moment
,
Rambert
became
hopeful
.
The
Prefecture
had
sent
him
a
blank
form
which
they
asked
him
to
fill
out
precisely
.
The
form
enquired
about
his
identity
,
his
family
situation
,
his
former
and
present
resources
and
that
which
they
called
his
curriculum
vitae
.
He
got
the
impression
that
this
was
an
enquiry
designed
to
draw
up
a
list
of
people
who
might
be
sent
back
to
their
usual
place
of
residence
.
Some
vague
information
,
picked
up
in
an
office
,
confirmed
this
notion
.
660
But
after
a
few
precise
questions
he
managed
to
find
the
office
which
had
sent
him
the
form
and
he
was
told
that
the
information
was
being
collected
"
in
the
event
"
