style="text-align: justify;"><span>Je hausse un sourcil, observant la longue plaie sanguinolente du pouce et de l&#8217;index de Madame Julienne, cherchant &#224; imaginer l&#8217;accident. Pour se blesser &#224; ce point en pelant une carotte, il faut qu&#8217;elle soit sacr&#233;ment maladroite. Elle me d&#233;visage avec sto&#239;cisme tandis que Max pr&#233;pare de quoi suturer.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>&#8212; Le mixer s&#8217;est bloqu&#233;, consent-elle &#224; expliquer.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>&#8212; Vous avez mis les doigts, je poursuis, comprenant enfin.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>&#8212; Il est d&#233;bloqu&#233;, conclut Madame Julienne d&#8217;un air satisfait, tandis que son sang inonde son poignet.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Apr&#232;s avoir recousu Madame Julienne &#8211; je suis &#224; l&#8217;aise avec l&#8217;exercice, les sutures &#233;taient l&#8217;activit&#233; principale des internes, en Bretagne &#8211; je file au box 2, devant lequel un policier monte la garde. Il est impressionnant, avec son gilet pare-balles et son uniforme, mais il m&#8217;adresse un signe de t&#234;te aimable et s&#8217;&#233;carte aussit&#244;t pour me laisser entrer.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Bon, il a beau avoir l&#8217;air sympa, &#231;a plombe un peu l&#8217;ambiance, on ne va pas se mentir, et je p&#233;n&#232;tre dans la salle avec une certaine appr&#233;hension. Sur le brancard g&#238;t une jeune fille de seize ans, recroquevill&#233;e en position f&#339;tale. Je remarque imm&#233;diatement que sa main gauche est menott&#233;e aux barri&#232;res du lit. Deux surveillantes p&#233;nitentiaires se tiennent pr&#232;s d&#8217;elle, l&#8217;expression peu am&#232;ne.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>L&#8217;une d&#8217;elles m&#8217;explique avec un fort accent suisse allemand qu&#8217;elle est d&#233;tenue dans une maison d&#8217;arr&#234;t pour adolescents. Elle s&#8217;est plainte de maux de ventre pendant une bonne partie de la nuit. Elle n&#8217;a pas vomi, n&#8217;a pas de fi&#232;vre, n&#8217;est pas enceinte non plus.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>&#8212; Ce n&#8217;est pas la premi&#232;re fois qu&#8217;elle nous fait le coup, pr&#233;cise la repr&#233;sentante de l&#8217;ordre. Ils sont tous pareils, ils adorent tous s&#8217;inventer des douleurs imaginaires pour se payer une promenade jusqu&#8217;&#224; l&#8217;h&#244;pital aux frais du contribuable.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Elle se fiche manifestement que la patiente n&#8217;ait pas perdu une miette de ce qu&#8217;elle vient d&#8217;affirmer.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Je tente d&#8217;&#233;touffer mon envie de lui dire ce que je pense de son manque d&#8217;humanit&#233;. Je ne sais rien d&#8217;elle, et il y a fort &#224; parier qu&#8217;elle ne rigole pas tous les jours dans son m&#233;tier.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span>Ferme-la, Olivia. Ne juge pas.</span></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>&#8212; D&#8217;accord, dis-je, le ton neutre. Je vais l&#8217;examiner.

Est-ce vraiment du cin&#233;ma, comme la surveillante a l&#8217;air de le sugg&#233;rer ? Au moment o&#249; je me pose la question, elle se redresse sur le brancard, tirant violemment sur sa main entrav&#233;e. Roulant vers moi des yeux inject&#233;s de sang, elle hurle :</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>&#8212; Tu vas te magner le cul de m&#8217;examiner, sale pute ?</span></p><p

femme se l&#232;ve, un sourire timide aux l&#232;vres. D&#8217;un geste automatique, elle repousse en arri&#232;re les longues tresses qui balaient son beau visage &#224; la peau d&#8217;&#233;b&#232;ne, puis me tend la main.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Je vous en prie, vous pouvez m&#8217;appeler Olivia. </p></blockquote><p>Je la salue, tout en inspectant le couloir derri&#232;re elle.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Je pensais que le docteur Ponti serait venu avec vous. Il a &#233;t&#233; retenu par un patient, peut-&#234;tre ?</p></blockquote><p>Elle esquisse une grimace amus&#233;e.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; C&#8217;est s&#251;rement ce qu&#8217;il pr&#233;tendra pour justifier son retard, r&#233;plique-t-elle sur le ton de la confidence. Son fils Alexandre est pass&#233; aux urgences pour lui souhaiter la f&#234;te des p&#232;res. Ils sont all&#233;s boire un verre au kiosque de l&#8217;h&#244;pital. (elle rit) Je compte sur votre discr&#233;tion.</p></blockquote><p>Je souris &#224; mon tour.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Je serai une tombe, l&#8217;assur&#233;-je en la faisant entrer dans le bureau, mis &#224; notre disposition par la direction de l&#8217;h&#244;pital pour r&#233;aliser l&#8217;interview. Asseyez-vous, nous allons commencer en l&#8217;attendant. Et encore merci d&#8217;avoir accept&#233; de r&#233;pondre &#224; mes questions. </p><p>&#8212; C&#8217;est normal. J&#8217;esp&#232;re que &#231;a donnera envie aux lecteurs de d&#233;couvrir votre roman.</p><p>&#8212; Notre roman, je corrige. Moi, je n&#8217;ai fait que l&#8217;&#233;crire. Mais l&#8217;h&#233;ro&#239;ne, c&#8217;est vous !</p><p>&#8212; Oh, l&#8217;h&#233;ro&#239;ne, c&#8217;est un bien grand mot ! proteste Olivia avec une humilit&#233; sinc&#232;re. Nous ne faisons rien d&#8217;extraordinaire, vous savez. Rien d&#8217;autre que notre boulot&#8230;</p><p>&#8212; Vous &#234;tes trop modeste. Prenez cet agriculteur, par exemple. M. Isidore. Cet homme qui avait mal au ventre depuis trois ans et dont vous avez pris la situation tellement &#224; c&#339;ur que vous n&#8217;avez pas h&#233;sit&#233; &#224;&#8230;</p><p>&#8212; C&#8217;&#233;tait naturel, m&#8217;interrompt Olivia avec gravit&#233;. Je m&#8217;implique beaucoup dans ce que vivent mes patients&#8230;</p><p>&#8212; Trop.</p></blockquote><p>Olivia et moi sursautons, puis nos deux regards convergent vers la porte. L&#8217;homme qui vient d&#8217;entrer - sans frapper - a la petite quarantaine. Brun, yeux tr&#232;s sombres, un peu trop s&#251;r de lui et de sa s&#233;duction.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://catherinerolland.substack.com/p/quand-tu-veux-interviewer-tes-personnages?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/catherinerolland.substack.com/p/quand-tu-veux-interviewer-tes-personnages?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Docteur Ponti, se pr&#233;sente-t-il d&#8217;un ton sec, peu d&#233;sireux de me laisser l&#8217;appeler par son pr&#233;nom comme sa coll&#232;gue.</p></blockquote><p>Il se laisse tomber sur le si&#232;ge &#224; c&#244;t&#233; d&#8217;elle, jette un coup d&#8217;&#339;il &#224; sa montre, l&#8217;air d&#233;j&#224; exc&#233;d&#233;.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Si on peut exp&#233;dier &#231;a rapidement ? marmonne-t-il. Je viens de sortir de r&#233;animation et d&#8217;autres malades m&#8217;attendent.</p></blockquote><p>J&#8217;&#233;change un regard fugitif avec Olivia, qui baisse la t&#234;te pour masquer son sourire.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; J&#8217;esp&#232;re que votre patient de r&#233;animation se porte mieux, dis-je, sans r&#233;ussir &#224; tout &#224; fait masquer l&#8217;ironie dans mon ton.</p><p>&#8212; Nous l&#8217;avons sauv&#233;, si c&#8217;est le sens de votre question. C&#8217;est ce que nous faisons, ici, pendant que vous vous adonnez &#224; votre petit hobby d&#8217;&#233;crivaine. Nous sauvons des vies.</p></blockquote><div class="pullquote"><p>&#8220;C&#8217;est &#231;a, oui&#8230; pens&#233;-je en me retenant de lever les yeux au ciel.

Ses yeux sont pleins d&#8217;une douceur inattendue, chez un homme aussi imbu de lui-m&#234;me. Le docteur Ponti cacherait-il son jeu&nbsp;? Y aurait-il un c&#339;ur, sous cette carapace hautaine et insensible ? </p><p>Elle lui sourit avec une complicit&#233; &#233;vidente.</p><p>Pendant quelques secondes, c&#8217;est comme si, dans la pi&#232;ce, il n&#8217;y avait plus qu&#8217;eux deux.

Vous trouvez qu&#8217;Olivia s&#8217;implique trop aupr&#232;s de ses patients ?</p></blockquote><p>Il la d&#233;visage, l&#8217;expression ininterpr&#233;table.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Dans ce m&#233;tier, dit-il d&#8217;un ton s&#233;rieux, si on veut durer, il faut savoir mettre un peu de distance entre les gens et nous. Olivia a un peu de mal avec &#231;a&#8230;</p><p>&#8212; Je me soucie de mes patients, c&#8217;est tout ! proteste l&#8217;int&#233;ress&#233;e. Et toi aussi, Nicolas, ne dis pas le contraire. Sous tes airs d&#8217;ours mal l&#233;ch&#233;, il n&#8217;y a pas de m&#233;decin plus impliqu&#233; que toi&#8230; m&#234;me quand &#231;a te joue des tours.</p><p>&#8212; Comment &#231;a, &#231;a me joue des tours ? s&#8217;exclame-t-il, interloqu&#233;.</p><p>&#8212; Qui a pr&#233;f&#233;r&#233; quitter un cocktail mondain pour amener une star du cin&#233;ma &#224; l&#8217;h&#244;pital en toute discr&#233;tion, plut&#244;t que de se contenter d&#8217;appeler une ambulance, d&#233;j&#224; ? le provoque-t-elle gentiment.</p></blockquote><p>Il semble d&#233;stabilis&#233; pendant quelques secondes, puis croise les bras, renfrogn&#233;.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Je n&#8217;ai pas envie de remettre cette histoire sur le tapis. Surtout devant elle, ajoute-t-il en me d&#233;signant du menton.</p><p>&#8212; Je suis au courant, si c&#8217;est &#231;a qui vous inqui&#232;te, je signale, amus&#233;e. Je vous rappelle que c&#8217;est moi qui ai &#233;crit Soignant(e)s.</p></blockquote><p>Il hausse les &#233;paules, boudeur.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Voil&#224;, et je parie que bient&#244;t, vous allez nous dire que nous n&#8217;avons aucun libre-arbitre, puisque c&#8217;est vous qui nous avez invent&#233;s !</p><p>&#8212; Nicolas, s&#8217;il te pla&#238;t, intervient Olivia d&#8217;une voix douce. Mme Rolland voulait simplement&#8230;</p><p>&#8212; Je sais ce que voulait Mme Rolland ! Me tirer les vers du nez, me faire dire ce que je n&#8217;ai pas dit et me faire passer pour un type odieux dans sa Newsletter ! Je les connais, les &#233;crivains, ils ne valent pas mieux que les journalistes !</p><p>&#8212; Nicolas, je vous assure que&#8230; je tente.</p><p>&#8212; Docteur Ponti ! corrige-t-il, glacial, en se levant. Vous voulez que je vous dise ? Je ne sais m&#234;me pas pourquoi j&#8217;ai accept&#233; cette interview !</p><p>&#8212; Parce qu&#8217;Olivia vous l&#8217;a demand&#233; et que, malgr&#233; les airs de brute que vous vous donnez, vous ne pouvez rien lui refuser ? je sugg&#232;re d&#8217;un ton tranquille.</p></blockquote><p>Cette fois, Olivia plonge presque sous le bureau, secou&#233;e par le fou-rire.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Ravi de voir que &#231;a t&#8217;amuse, Beyer ! gronde Nicolas, passablement vex&#233;. Je crois que vous n&#8217;avez pas vraiment besoin de moi, en d&#233;finitive. </p></blockquote><p>Il me foudroie de son regard noir et p&#233;n&#233;trant :</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Madame Rolland, je ne vous salue pas ! conclut-il avant de tourner les talons.</p></blockquote><p>Il quitte la pi&#232;ce en claquant la porte.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Il est un peu soupe au lait, je remarque.</p><p>&#8212; C&#8217;est de votre faute, aussi ! r&#233;plique vivement Olivia.

Quand je l&#8217;ai rencontr&#233; la premi&#232;re fois, je n&#8217;esp&#233;rais qu&#8217;une chose : ne jamais &#234;tre de garde en m&#234;me temps que lui. Et puis&#8230;</p></blockquote><p>Elle marque une pause, le regard un peu r&#234;veur.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Et puis ? je relance doucement.</p><p>&#8212; Et puis&#8230; r&#233;p&#232;te-t-elle, le ton malicieux.

Bon, encha&#238;na-t-il sans attendre ma r&#233;ponse, se penchant sur les pages du carnet pour griffonner quelques mots, c&#8217;est entendu pour mars. Une bonne chose de faite ! Je t&#233;l&#233;phonerai &#224; l&#8217;imprimeur en rentrant.</p><p>&#8212; Mais&#8230; Nous n&#8217;avons pas vraiment parl&#233; des conditions&#8230; enfin&#8230;</p><p>&#8212; Des conditions ? r&#233;p&#233;ta l&#8217;&#233;diteur, l&#8217;air surpris.</p><p>&#8212; Je veux dire&#8230; le contrat ? dis-je d&#8217;une petite voix.</p><p>&#8212; Ah, &#231;a ! s&#8217;exclama-t-il en souriant avec bonhomie. Bien s&#251;r, c&#8217;est normal que vous posiez la question : <strong>c&#8217;est un tr&#232;s bon contrat</strong>. Tous nos auteurs en sont tr&#232;s satisfaits.</p><p>&#8212; D&#8217;accord, mais&#8230; j&#8217;aurais bien aim&#233; que nous puissions, enfin&#8230; parler davantage de mon histoire&#8230; Que vous me disiez les passages que vous avez aim&#233;s et ceux dont vous pensez qu&#8217;il faudra les retravailler&#8230; Je pense qu&#8217;il y en a ? demandai-je faiblement.</p><p>&#8212; Bien s&#251;r, bien s&#251;r.

Alors, bien s&#251;r, <strong>ce n&#8217;est pas de la grande litt&#233;rature</strong>, tout le monde ne peut pas &#233;crire comme Jean d&#8217;Ormesson, n&#8217;est-ce pas ? Vous aimez Jean d&#8217;Ormesson ? &#8220;Tout le bonheur du monde est dans l&#8217;inattendu !&#8221; d&#233;clama-t-il avec emphase.</p></blockquote><h2>Pour ce qui &#233;tait de l&#8217;inattendu, en effet, j&#8217;&#233;tais servie. </h2><p>Est-ce que tous les &#233;diteurs &#233;taient comme lui ? </p><p>N&#8217;ayant pas le moindre point de comparaison, et <strong>intens&#233;ment consciente qu&#8217;il ne me restait que deux ou trois minutes</strong> avant que mon interlocuteur m&#8217;abandonne pour son rendez-vous avec la libraire, </p><p><em>dont j&#8217;avais bien compris qu&#8217;il comptait plus que le mien</em></p><p>je m&#8217;effor&#231;ai de concentrer <strong>toutes mes interrogations en une seule</strong> :</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; J&#8217;aimerais beaucoup savoir ce qui vous a plu dans mon roman.

La th&#233;matique, ou peut-&#234;tre le style ?</p></blockquote><p>Il me d&#233;visagea, l&#8217;air &#224; la fois condescendant et un peu songeur, puis commen&#231;a &#224; rassembler ses affaires. Buvant la derni&#232;re gorg&#233;e de son verre, il remarqua, lointain, <strong>&#8220; Je me rends compte que je ne vous ai m&#234;me pas propos&#233; &#224; boire&#8221;,</strong> sans que je

r&#233;aliser.</p><p>Un &#233;diteur. Il a aim&#233; mon texte. </p><h2>Il va me publier.</h2><p>Mon roman va para&#238;tre pour de vrai. Il sera disponible en librairie, d&#233;couvert par des dizaines - <em>que dis-je, des centaines, des milliers</em> - de <strong>lecteurs enthousiastes ! </strong></p><p>Essayant d&#8217;oublier <strong>le fait que je lui ai quasiment raccroch&#233; au nez</strong>, je sens monter en moi l&#8217;exaltation ! J&#8217;attends ce moment depuis tellement longtemps&nbsp;! Quel bonheur, quel accomplissement !</p><p>Je dois partager ma joie avec le monde entier, le crier, le chanter sur les toits&#8230; Un sourire bienheureux errant sur mes l&#232;vres, je tourne la t&#234;te et&#8230; je croise <strong>le regard d&#233;sapprobateur de Mme Tronchet</strong>.</p><blockquote><p>&#8212; Au fait, docteur, <strong>je voudrais aussi discuter de mes selles </strong>avec vous. Elles ont une couleur bizarre, en ce moment, j&#8217;aimerais savoir ce que vous en pensez.</p></blockquote><p>Et, avec dignit&#233;, elle extirpe de son sac &#224; main un Tupperware contenant, &#224; ma grande horreur, <strong>une mati&#232;re jaune et molle dont la nature ne fait malheureusement aucun doute.</strong></p><h2>Quelque chose me dit que Mme Tronchet ne sera pas particuli&#232;rement r&#233;ceptive &#224; ma nouvelle carri&#232;re d&#8217;&#233;crivaine &#224; succ&#232;s.</h2><div><hr></div><p>&#8230; Eh oui, il semble bien que nous nous acheminions vers une histoire comportant plusieurs &#233;pisodes&#8230;</p><blockquote><p><em>(Combien ? Eh bien, un certain nombre, r&#233;torqua-t-elle &#233;vasivement)</em></p></blockquote><p>Pour peu que <strong>d&#8217;autres aventures m&#233;ritant d&#8217;&#234;tre racont&#233;es surviennent dans l&#8217;intervalle</strong>, on en a sans doute jusqu&#8217;&#224; l&#8217;automne, partis comme on est. </p><h3>Mais n&#8217;est-ce pas agr&#233;able, parfois, de prendre un peu le temps ?</h3><p>Je vous dis donc <strong>&#224; dans 15 jours</strong>, et d&#8217;ici l&#224;, si mes &#233;lucubrations vous ont donn&#233; envie d&#8217;en conna&#238;tre davantage sur moi et surtout sur mes romans, c&#8217;est par ici que &#231;a se passe (entre autres) :</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.catherine-rolland.com&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;www.catherine-rolland.com&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.catherine-rolland.com"><span>www.catherine-rolland.com</span></a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
