Langdon
moved
away
from
the
door
and
turned
back
to
Vittoria
.
"
You
damn
well
better
be
right
,
‘
cause
this
guy
does
not
look
amused
!
"
"
Damn
!
"
she
said
,
listening
to
the
receiver
.
"
A
recording
.
"
"
Recording
?
"
Langdon
demanded
.
"
The
Pope
has
an
answering
machine
?
"
"
It
wasn
’
t
the
Pope
’
s
office
,
"
Vittoria
said
,
hanging
up
.
"
It
was
the
damn
weekly
menu
for
the
Vatican
commissary
.
"
Langdon
offered
a
weak
smile
to
the
guard
outside
who
was
now
glaring
angrily
though
the
glass
while
he
hailed
Olivetti
on
his
walkie
-
talkie
.
The
Vatican
switchboard
is
located
in
the
Ufficio
di
Communicazione
behind
the
Vatican
post
office
.
It
is
a
relatively
small
room
containing
an
eight
-
line
Corelco
141
switchboard
.
The
office
handles
over
2
,
000
calls
a
day
,
most
routed
automatically
to
the
recording
information
system
.
Tonight
,
the
sole
communications
operator
on
duty
sat
quietly
sipping
a
cup
of
caffeinated
tea
.
He
felt
proud
to
be
one
of
only
a
handful
of
employees
still
allowed
inside
Vatican
City
tonight
.
Of
course
the
honor
was
tainted
somewhat
by
the
presence
of
the
Swiss
Guards
hovering
outside
his
door
.
An
escort
to
the
bathroom
,
the
operator
thought
.
Ah
,
the
indignities
we
endure
in
the
name
of
Holy
Conclave
.
Fortunately
,
the
calls
this
evening
had
been
light
.
Or
maybe
it
was
not
so
fortunate
,
he
thought
.
World
interest
in
Vatican
events
seemed
to
have
dwindled
in
the
last
few
years
.
The
number
of
press
calls
had
thinned
,
and
even
the
crazies
weren
’
t
calling
as
often
.
The
press
office
had
hoped
tonight
’
s
event
would
have
more
of
a
festive
buzz
about
it
.
Sadly
,
though
,
despite
St
.
Peter
’
s
Square
being
filled
with
press
trucks
,
the
vans
looked
to
be
mostly
standard
Italian
and
Euro
press
.
Only
a
handful
of
global
cover
-
all
networks
were
there
…
no
doubt
having
sent
their
giornalisti
secundari
.
The
operator
gripped
his
mug
and
wondered
how
long
tonight
would
last
.
Midnight
or
so
,
he
guessed
.
Nowadays
,
most
insiders
already
knew
who
was
favored
to
become
Pope
well
before
conclave
convened
,
so
the
process
was
more
of
a
three
—
or
four
-
hour
ritual
than
an
actual
election
.
Of
course
,
last
-
minute
dissension
in
the
ranks
could
prolong
the
ceremony
through
dawn
…
or
beyond
.
The
conclave
of
1831
had
lasted
fifty
-
four
days
.
Not
tonight
,
he
told
himself
;
rumor
was
this
conclave
would
be
a
"
smoke
-
watch
.
