Dans les semaines qui suivirent la nomination, les gens très gentils qui, jusque-là, avaient pris l’habitude de me dire : « Tu verras, tu seras nominée », me dirent désormais : « Je te l’avais bien dit que tu serais nominée ». (Je sais bien qu’il faudrait employer un autre mot que ce barbarisme : ce serait « candidate désignée ». Ça me dépayserait.)
