Accordingly the plantons got together and stuffed the contents of a paillasse in the cracks around the door, and particularly in the crack under the door wherein cigarettes were commonly inserted by friends of the entombed. This process made the cabinot air-tight. But the plantons were not taking any chances on disturbing Monsieur le Directeur.
Probably the furious planton had seen to it that les femmes kept their rooms in silence. We ascended the three flights at the farther end of the corridor, the planton of all plantons unlocked and unbolted the door at the top landing, and I was swallowed by The Enormous Room. I made for B., in my excitement allowing myself to wave the bank-notes. Instantly a host had gathered at my side.
Such amazement as dominated his puny features I have rarely seen equalled. "Qu'est-ce que vous avez foutu avec cette machine-la?" At which cry the planton staggered, rotated, brought his gun clumsily off his shoulder, and stared, trembling all over with emotion, at his superior. "La-bas!" screamed the pimply sergeant de plantons, pointing fiercely in our direction.
Lena's confinement in the cabinot which dungeon I have already attempted to describe but to whose filth and slime no words can begin to do justice was in this case solitary. Punctually at the expiration of thirty minutes she was shoved back into the cabinot by the plantons.
I was still wondering at my good luck in occupying the same miserable yard with this exquisite personage when a hoarse, rather thick voice shouted from the gate: "L'americain!" It was a planton, in fact the chief planton for whom all ordinary plantons had unutterable respect and whom all mere men unutterably hated.
Once, twice, thrice he smote himself, before the plantons seized him and suddenly his whole strength wilted; he allowed himself to be overpowered by them and stood with bowed head, tears streaming from his eyes while the smallest pointed a revolver at his heart. This was a little more than the Surveillant had counted on.
They urinated and defecated with the handcuffs on, all of them hitched together. At various times they complained to their captors that the agony caused by the swelling of their wrists was unbearable this agony, being the result of over-tightness of the handcuffs, might easily have been relieved by one of the plantons without loss of time or prestige.
The Surveillant called to the plantons to take Jean, but they wouldn't go near Jean, they said he was a black devil. The women kidded them. They were so sore. And they could do nothing. Jean was laughing. His shirt was almost off him. He asked the planton to come and take him, please. He asked the Surveillant, too. The women had set down their pails and were dancing up and down and yelling.
From within a heavy, stupid, pleasant voice lazily remarked: "Entrez." The planton threw the door open, stood stiffly on the threshold, and gave me the look which plantons give to eggs when plantons are a little hungry. Before me, seated at a table, was a very fat personage with a black skull cap perched upon its head.
A third had a huge glass eye. These peculiarities of physique, however, did not inhibit the plantons from certain essential and normal desires. On the contrary. The plantons probably realised that, in competition with the male world at large, their glass legs and tin hands and wooden eyes would not stand a Chinaman's chance of winning the affection and admiration of the fair sex.
