Maintenant qu’après cette oscillation, Odette était naturellement
revenue à la place d’où la jalousie de Swann l’avait un moment
écartée, dans l’angle où il la trouvait charmante, il se la figurait
pleine de tendresse, avec un regard de consentement, si jolie ainsi,
qu’il ne pouvait s’empêcher d’avancer les lèvres vers elle comme si
elle avait été là et qu’il eût pu l’embrasser; et il lui gardait de ce
regard enchanteur et bon autant de reconnaissance que si elle venait
de l’avoir
réellement
et si cela n’eût pas été seulement son
imagination qui venait de le peindre pour donner satisfaction à son
désir.
