Ce ne fut pas Bourdon, ce fut Proli qui parla. Il fit taire Bourdon; il se tourna à demi vers Collot et lui fit une brève question à voix basse, où Corentin crut entendre les mots de confiance et de secret. Oui, dit plusieurs fois Collot d'une voix haute et firme. Proli regarda Corentin avec ce mélange de dégoût et de considération qu'il suscitait souvent, contre son gré ou pas, on ne l'a jamais su. Il dit:
– Tu veux honorer une commande, citoyen peintre?
La question le surprit et l'amusa. Elle le rajeunit aussi.
– Pierre Michon, from Les Onze (Verdier, 2009)
