      Je pousse la porte et tout de suite c’est : l’odeur de la bière mélangée à celle du tabac froid, [] , quelques maçons dans leurs cottes tachées qui repoussent encore un peu l’heure de la solitude ou de la bobonne, et des vieux habitués aux doigts jaunis qui emmerdent tout le monde avec leur loyer de 48. Le bonheur.
