La plus belle histoire du monde "The Finest Story in the World" (in Many Inventions, 1893) Il s'appelait Charlie Mears; fils unique de sa m re, laquelle tait veuve, il habitait le nord de Londres, d'o il venait chaque jour la Cit travailler dans une banque. Il avait vingt ans et d bordait d'aspirations. Je le rencontrai dans un billiard saloon1 o le marqueur l'appelait par son petit nom, tandis qu'il appelait le marqueur Bull's eye. Charlie m'expliqua, un peu nerveusement, qu'il n' tait venu l que pour regarder; et, comme ce n'est point un amusement bon march pour les jeunes gens que de regarder les jeux d'adresse, je sugg rai que Charlie ferait mieux de retourner chez sa m re. Ce fut notre premier pas vers plus ample connaissance. Il venait me voir quelquefois, les soirs, au lieu de courir Londres avec les autres commis, ses camarades; et il ne tarda pas, la mani re des jeunes hommes, me parler de lui-m me et me raconter ses aspirations qui taient toutes litt raires. Il d sirait se faire un nom imp rissable, principalement en po sie, bien qu'il ne d daign t pas d'envoyer des histoires d'amour et de mort des journaux de distributeurs automatiques. Mon destin voulut que j' coutasse, immobile, tandis que Charlie me lisait des po mes de plusieurs centaines de vers et de volumineux fragments de pi ces appel es s rement un jour remuer le monde. En retour j'avais sa confiance sans r serves, et les aveux comme les inqui tudes d'un jeune homme sont presque aussi sacr s que ceux d'une vierge. Charlie n' tait jamais tomb amoureux, mais attendait avec anxi t la premi re occasion de le faire; il croyait en tout ce qui est bon, tout ce qui est honorable, mais, en m me temps, tenait singuli rement me laisser voir qu'il savait se tirer d'affaire dans la vie en bon commis de banque vingt-cinq shillings par semaine. Il faisait rimer amours, toujours; lune, brune, pieusement convaincu qu'on ne les avait jamais fait rimer auparavant. Les grands vides o boitait l'action de ses pi ces, il les remplissait la h te d'excuses et de descriptions, et passait outre, si clairement persuad de ce qu'il voulait faire qu'il le tenait pour d j fait, et se tournait vers moi en qu te d'applaudissements.
