HAS my watch
stopped? No. But its hands do not seem to be going around. Don’t look at them.
Think of something else anything else: think of yesterday, a calm, ordinary,
easy-flowing day, in spite of the nervous tension of waiting. Tender awakening.
André was in an odd, curled-up position in bed, with the bandage over his eyes
and one hand pressed against the wall like a child’s, as though in the
confusion and distress of sleep he had needed to reach out to test the firmness
of the world. I sat on the edge of his bed; I put my hand on his shoulder. “Eight
o’clock.” I carried the breakfast tray into the library: I took up a book that had
arrived the day before I had already half leafed through it. What a bore, all
this going on about non-communication. If you really want to communicate you
manage, somehow or other. Not with everybody, of course, but with two or three
people. Sometimes I don’t tell André about my moods, sorrows, unimportant
anxieties; and no doubt he has his little secrets too; but on the whole there
is nothing we do not know about one another.

I poured out the China tea, piping
hot and very strong. We drank it as we looked through our post: the July sun came
flooding into the room. How many times had we sat there opposite one another at
that little table with piping hot, very strong cups of tea in front of us? And
we should do so again tomorrow, and in a year’s time, and in ten years’ time.…
That moment possessed the sweet gentleness of a memory and the gaiety of a
promise. Were we thirty, or were we sixty? André’s hair had gone white when he
was young: in earlier days that snowy hair, emphasizing the clear freshness of
his complexion, looked particularly dashing. It looks dashing still. His skin
has hardened and wrinkled old leather but the smile on his mouth and in his
eyes has kept its brilliance.
