par un train, j’eus froid dans les os. Je ne suis pas assez instruit
pour vous expliquer très nettement tout ce que j’éprouvais. Ce que je
puis vous affirmer, parce que c’est la vérité même, c’est qu’il y eut
comme une voix, au dedans de moi, qui me répétait : Alexandre a
reçu sa punition, tu recevras la tienne !…
Depuis ce moment, je n’ai plus eu jamais faim, je n’ai plus dormi.
Et puis la chasse, cela me dégoûtait : rien que de regarder mon fusil
me donnait la nausée ; je voyais du sang sur la crosse ! Et enfin,
continuellement, j’entendais Sampité me demander la vie et je me
représentais sa femme cramponnée à son cadavre. Ça, c’était le
plus atroce ! J’en meurs, frappé par le Bon Dieu — et je trouve que
c’est juste…
Il se tut, joignit les mains et ferma les yeux. Dans la chambre, on
n’entendit plus que sa respiration haletante. Sa sœur, le tablier en
tampon sur la bouche, étouffait des sanglots. Brice, Tourette et moi,
nous demeurions comme pétrifiés sur nos chaises. A la fin je me
repris assez pour me lever et toucher Rablot à l’épaule. A ce
contact, il ouvrit les paupières, et dit d’une voix tout entrecoupée et
soudain toute débile : — Monsieur le Maire, vous aurez, n’est-ce
pas, la bonté d’écrire à la justice ce que je viens d’avouer. Il ne
faudrait pas qu’un jour ou l’autre, un innocent soit inquiété à cause
de mon crime…
Le maire, incapable d’articuler une syllabe, acquiesça de la tête.
— Merci, reprit Rablot, et merci de m’avoir écouté jusqu’au bout.
Et puis, je vous dis adieu ainsi qu’à Tourette… Laissez-moi seul
avec M. le Curé, nous avons encore à causer lui et moi…
Je reconduisis les assistants jusque sur le palier. Personne
n’avait formulé la moindre réflexion. Mais quand nous fûmes hors de
la chambre M. Brice dit, d’un ton qui prouvait la violence de son
émotion : — Monsieur le Curé, avant d’avoir entendu ce malheureux,
je ne croyais pas à grand’chose. Maintenant, je sais que Dieu existe.
— Pour sûr, M. Brice a raison, appuya Tourette, moi, je pense
comme lui…
Je pris congé d’eux fort remué, moi aussi, et je retournai au
chevet de Rablot. La grâce divine m’octroya ce qu’il fallait dire pour
l’assister durant son agonie. Je le confessai, je l’exhortai. Au cours
de ce dernier entretien, je ne cessai d’admirer combien la souffrance
morale, issue du remords, avait affiné cette âme désormais
soustraite au Démon. Ensuite, le matin étant venu, j’allai dire ma
messe et je revins tout de suite après, apportant l’Extrême-Onction
et le Saint Viatique. Rablot n’avait plus la force de parler mais il
gardait sa connaissance et ses regards me prouvaient qu’il s’unissait
humblement à mes prières. Les rites accomplis, je me rassis, près
de lui, et ma main dans sa main, je commentai doucement l’Évangile
sur Lazare. Comme je prononçais la phrase Je suis la Résurrection
et la vie, Rablot exhala un long soupir et entra dans la paix de Celui
qui nous a donné cette parole…
Il avait fait un testament qui désignait sa sœur comme légataire
universelle à charge de verser, chaque année, une somme
suffisante pour assurer le nécessaire à l’orpheline des Sampité [7] .
[7] Sampité le seul nom de personne qui n’ait pas été
modifié au cours des deux récits qu’on vient de lire.
Plusieurs guides de la forêt indiquent l’endroit où s’élève
le monument commémoratif, entre autres, celui de
Charles Collinet.
