Turned out she thought I was an Algerian, and that was her way of showing she wasn’t racist. Brief flash of what it must be like on the receiving end of liberal kindness. The awful sugar. Lesson and warning. TV apparently gave a very low figure—a hundred and seventy thousand or so. Weren’t they there? E. annoyed and irritated when I said the manif’ had the same chemical makeup as the Resistance—workers, intellectuals, the left, and the young. She kept saying, “This isn’t a war.” Everyone enjoyed the general strike so much that no one has gone back to work, from the sound of it.
