There
is
a
rather
interesting
family
in
the
hotel
restaurant
.
The
father
is
a
tall
,
thin
man
,
dressed
in
black
,
with
a
stiff
collar
.
The
crown
of
his
head
is
bald
and
he
has
two
tufts
of
grey
hair
on
either
side
.
His
hard
little
round
eyes
,
his
slender
nose
and
his
straight
mouth
make
him
look
like
a
well
-
trained
owl
.
He
is
always
the
first
to
arrive
at
the
door
of
the
restaurant
and
stands
back
so
that
his
wife
can
pass
;
she
is
as
tiny
as
a
black
mouse
,
and
walks
in
with
a
little
boy
and
a
little
girl
at
her
heels
,
dressed
like
performing
dogs
.
Once
the
man
has
reached
his
table
,
he
waits
for
his
wife
to
sit
down
,
then
does
so
himself
before
the
two
poodles
are
allowed
to
perch
on
their
chairs
.
He
addresses
his
wife
and
children
using
the
formal
vous
,
and
delivers
himself
of
politely
cutting
remarks
to
the
first
and
summary
orders
to
his
heirs
:

"
Nicole
,
you
are
behaving
in
a
supremely
unpleasant
manner
.
"
193
"
The
little
girl
is
about
to
burst
into
tears
.
That
s
what
he
wants
.

This
morning
the
boy
was
very
excited
by
the
business
of
the
rats
.
He
wanted
to
say
something
during
the
meal
.
195
"
We
don
t
talk
about
rats
at
table
,
Philippe
.
From
now
on
,
I
forbid
you
to
mention
the
word
.
"
196
"
Your
father
is
right
,
"
said
the
black
mouse
.
197
"
The
two
poodles
stuck
their
noses
into
their
bowls
and
the
owl
thanked
her
with
a
nod
that
gave
little
away
.

Despite
this
good
example
,
people
around
town
are
talking
a
great
deal
about
the
business
of
the
rats
.
The
newspaper
has
taken
it
up
.
The
local
news
pages
,
usually
very
diverse
,
are
now
entirely
occupied
by
a
campaign
against
the
town
authorities
:
"
Are
our
town
dignitaries
aware
of
the
danger
that
may
arise
from
the
rotting
corpses
of
these
rodents
?
"
The
manager
of
the
hotel
cannot
talk
about
anything
else
.
But
this
is
partly
because
he
is
angry
about
it
.
It
seems
unimaginable
to
him
that
rats
should
be
discovered
in
the
lift
of
a
respectable
hotel
.
To
console
him
,
I
said
:
"
But
everybody
has
the
same
thing
.
"
199
"
Exactly
,
"
he
replied
.
"
Now
we
are
like
everybody
.

He
was
the
one
who
mentioned
to
me
about
the
first
cases
of
that
unusual
infection
that
people
are
starting
to
worry
about
.
One
of
his
chambermaids
has
it
.
