L'homme de Londres by Georges Simenon
Au moment meme, on les prend pour des heures comme les autres et apres coup seulement, on s'apercoit que c'etaient des heures exceptionnelles, on s'acharne a en reconstituer le fil perdu, a en remettre bout a bout les minutes eparses.Pourquoi, ce soir-la, Maloin etait-il parti de chez lui de mauvaise humeur ? On avait dine a sept heures, comme d'habitude. Il y avait des harengs grilles, puisque c'etait la saison. Ernest, le gamin, avait mange proprement.
Maintenant, Maloin se souvenait que sa femme avait dit: Henriette est venue tout a l'heure.
Encore
Ce n'est pas parce que sa fille etait bonne a tout faire dans la meme ville, presque dans le meme quartier, qu'elle devait accourir chez elle sous tous les pretextes. Sans compter que c'etait toujours pour se plaindre.
M. Laine avait dit ceci, ou Mme Laine avait dit cela.
Il se pourrait que la place soit libre chez le pharmacien, ou c'est tout de meme plus propre que chez un boucher.
