--Monsieur, répondit le narrateur, piqué de l'observation, comme fort
heureusement le coup de poignard que j'ai reçu a glissé à droite au
lieu d'aller à gauche, vous me permettrez de savoir un peu ma propre
histoire... Je vous jure qu'il y a encore des nuits où je vois en rêve
les deux sacrés yeux...
L'ancien chirurgien en chef s'arrêta, pâlit, et resta, la bouche
ouverte, dans un véritable état d'épilepsie.
Nous nous retournâmes tous du côté du salon. A la porte était un grand
d'Espagne, un _afrancesados_ en exil, et arrivé depuis quinze jours en
Touraine, avec sa famille. Il apparaissait pour la première fois dans
le monde; et, venu fort tard, il visitait les salons, accompagné de sa
femme dont le bras droit restait immobile.
Nous nous séparâmes en silence pour laisser passer ce couple, que nous
ne vîmes pas sans une émotion profonde.
C'était un vrai tableau de Murillo! Le mari avait, sous des orbites
creusés et noircis, des yeux de feu. Sa face était desséchée, son crâne
sans cheveux, et son corps d'une maigreur effroyable.--La femme!...
imaginez-la?--non!--vous ne la feriez pas vraie.--Elle avait une
admirable taille; elle était pâle, mais belle encore; son teint, par un
privilége inouï pour une Espagnole, était éclatant de blancheur; mais
son regard tombait sur vous comme un jet de plomb fondu... son beau
front, orné de perles, et blanc, ressemblait au marbre d'une tombe; il y
avait un mort enseveli dans son coeur!... C'était la douleur espagnole
dans tout son lustre.
Inutile de dire que le chirurgien avait disparu.
--Madame, demandai-je à la comtesse vers la fin de la soirée, par quel
événement avez-vous donc perdu le bras?
--Dans la guerre de l'indépendance... dit-elle.
