Maupassant' stories (14)
"Hautot father and son" (the end)
The son goes to town to visit the woman who is waiting for his father. She is so sad when he tells her the bad news that he understands she really loved his father. He also gets acquainted with his half-brother. The woman is too upset to talk about money. She asks him to come again next week and gradually Thursday visits become a habit for this new family.
Le jeune homme se rend à Rouen et va voir cette femme qui attend son père. En voyant sa peine, il comprend qu’elle aimait véritablement son père et il découvre l’existence de son demi-frère. Trop troublée pour discuter, elle lui demande de revenir jeudi prochain. Finalement, les rendez-vous du jeudi deviennent une habitude pour cette « nouvelle famille ».
