Description
After Francesco Hayez
Une réécriture en forme de déclaration
Il était déjà tard dans le bureau de cette petite maison d’édition, le jeune patron était venu voir si la secrétaire s’en était sortie de la recopie des derniers feuillets d’un manuscrit qu’il lui fallait annoter. Il lui fallait demander avec diplomatie quelques retouches à son auteur avant de décider de son impression. C’était en effet une de ces romances à l’eau de rose comme il s’en écrivait trop. Ayant toute confiance dans les compétences de la jeune femme, qu’il considérait presque comme son adjointe, il ne se formalisait pas pour la désinvolture avec laquelle elle l’accueillait de plus en plus souvent. Ce soir-là, elle l’attendait en fumant une cigarette, il s’approcha de la machine à écrire et tourna les rouleaux pour mieux lire le dernier paragraphe de la feuille, il avait cette étonnante faculté de pouvoir lire sans difficulté n’importe quel texte à l’envers. Concentré sur sa lecture, il ne remarqua pas que la jeune femme pointait son fume cigarette, tel Cupidon les flèches de son arc. Arrivé au dernier mot de ce passage particulièrement osé dans la sensualité de son écriture, le rouge lui monta aux joues, il comprit alors que la secrétaire avait réécrit ce passage à son intention. Quand il leva les yeux vers elle, il fut accueilli par un sourire indicible.

It was already late in the office of this small publishing house, the young boss had come to see if the secretary had managed to copy the last pages of a manuscript that he needed to annotate. He had to diplomatically ask the author for a few touch-ups before deciding whether to print it. It was indeed one of those romantic romances that were written too often. Having complete confidence in the skills of the young woman, whom he considered almost as his assistant, he did not mind the nonchalance with which she greeted him more and more often. That evening, she was waiting for him while smoking a cigarette, he approached the typewriter and turned the rollers to better read the last paragraph of the sheet, he had this astonishing ability to be able to read any text backwards without difficulty. Concentrating on his reading, he did not notice that the young woman was pointing her cigarette holder, like Cupid the arrows of his bow. Arriving at the last word of this passage particularly daring in the sensuality of its writing, the red rose to his cheeks, he understood then that the secretary had rewritten this passage for him. When he looked up at her, he was greeted by an indescribable smile.

Wonderful imagery. Smoking is very politically incorrect, and of course, totally unhealthy; but, a long cigarette holder is such a great prop for building a scene.
