Quelque chose tapait bien a côté de sa tete, des coups dont la violence se rapprochait; mais il avait eu d'abord la paresse d'aller répondre, engourdi d'une fatigue immense; et, a présent, il ne savait plus, il revait seulement qu'elle marchait devant lui et qu'il entendait le léger claquement de ses sabots.
