JÉRÔME

She’s in her armchair, waiting for me.

She’s not doing anything as she waits. She’s not pretending to read or knit or be busy.

Waiting’s a full-time job here.

When I go into her room, I shake her hand and ask for her news. She offers me a glass of water, or fruit juice if she has a little carton left over from teatime. She likes to be able to give me a chocolate or a sweet as a way of doing something for me, I know.

We have our rituals.

She likes the moment when I press ‘Record’ on my digital recorder and our session begins, always with more or less the same formula: ‘It’s the fifth of September and I’m recording my twentieth session with Mrs Seld, with her consent.’
