“As she crossed the third floor landing she noticed that the resident of the left-hand flat had daubed a huge black 4 on his door. She and Jean-Baptiste had agreed to spend this night together, but she wasn’t to turn up before ten because of the hectic timetable the plague-monger had imposed on the squad. The kitten was a bloody nuisance. It had been following her down the street for ages. Camille had stopped to stroke it, then left it, then tried to lose it, but the kitten kept on catching ...her up in jerky leaps and bounds, and stayed glued to her heels. Camille had crossed to the other side of the square to put an end to the stalking. She’d left it outside when she’d gone in to have dinner but found the thing still on the landing when she came out again. The kitten bravely resumed its unwavering pursuit of her. Fed up with the effort of keeping the cat at bay, Camille picked the beast up and stuck it on her shoulder when she got to Adamsberg’s staircase door.MoreLessRead More Read Less
