le frere de lettres honorerait-il aussi mes morts d'une marque de
sympathie; peut-etre un acte de complaisante exhumation, le miracle d'un
achat d'exemplaire allait-il, pour la premiere fois, se produire?...

Mais le maigre noctambule eleva l'un de ses longs bras et mit dans l'air
un geste vague, la pantomime d'on ne sait quel parti-pris de pieuse
discretion: une maniere d'indiquer combien cette partie du cimetiere se
perdait dans d'indicibles lointains,--combien l'incolore et fantasque
_Elsa_ semblait ensevelie la pour jamais dans d'inviolables abimes
d'oubli.
