+PERSONNAGES:
+
+
+
+UN IVROGNE... 45 ans environ
+
+MARIA... 14 ans
+
+CARLOT... 8 ans
+
+
+
+DECOR:
+
+
+
+Sept heures du soir, en hiver, dans une chaumière misérablement
+meublée.
+
+Une table boiteuse, des chaises de paille, un mauvais lit dans le fond.
+
+Port à gauche, au dernier plan, fermant par un loquet de bois.
+
+Sur la table, verres, bouteilles vides et chandelier, pêle-mêle.
+
+Au lever du rideau, la scène est plongée dans l'obscurité.
+
+
+
+SCENE I
+
+
+
+L'IVROGNE
+
+
+
+L'ivrogne d'une voix pâteuse chante dans la coulisse:
+
+--Viens Poupoule, viens, etc...
+
+La porte s'ouvre et il apparaît titubant. Une bouteille pleine sort à
+moitié de sa poche. Toujours chantant, il fait quelques pas, puis
+s'arrête:
+
+-- Une vraie bouteille à l'encre!... Ca manque de bec de gaz!
+
+Se cognant au lit:
+
+-- Oh!... quelle turne!
+
+Se cramponnant au lit:
+
+-- C'est c'tte sacrée Maria qu'aura mis une chaise là pour que j'me
+f... par terre!... Y a plus d'enfants! L'respect d'la famille s'en va
+complètement!
+
+Il cherche une allumette dans ses poches.
+
+-- Je... J'vais allumer l'électricité.
+
+Il frotte une allumette, qui rate, puis une seconde et une troisième.
+
+-- Vive la Régie!
+
+Au public:
+
+-- La Régie a été instituée pour embêter les citoyens, mais ça prend
+pas avec moi... quand l'allumette rate, j'crie vive la Régie... pour la
+narguer!... et quand elle ne rate pas... (Il en prend une:) Vive la
+République!
+
+Tenant délicatement l'allumette enflammée il s'avance vers la cheminée:
+
+-- Où qu'il est, le lustre?...
+
+Il cherche:
+
+-- Le lustre à Bibi n'est pas là!
+
+Il allume une autre allumette et va vers la table:
+
+-- Là!... Voici le réverbère en question.
+
+Il veut atteindre la chandelle mais sa main qui tremble semble vouloir
+allumer tous les goulots des bouteilles:
+
+-- Ca doit être encore un tour de c'tte sacrée Maria... C'est humide,
+ça peut pas brûler, pardi!
+
+Larmoyant:
+
+-- Si c'est pas malheureux d'avoir une fille qui mouille tous les bouts
+de chandelle!
+
+Il a fini cependant par allumer celle-ci. Tombant en arrêt devant les
+bouteilles vides:
+
+-- Quelle armée!... Si c'est moi le copain qui ai vidé tout ça j'suis
+pas à plaindre, mon colon!
+
+Se cognant l'estomac:
+
+-- Une vraie panse de député qui veut analyser tous les liquides de la
+buvette...
+
+Il passe la revue des bouteilles:
+
+-- Zut! Tout est sifflé!... Alors faut serrer la ceinture?... Non!
+Zidor a des réserves dans sa cave.
+
+Il tire la bouteille de sa poche:
+
+-- Voilà! M'sieu est servi!!
+
+Il boit un peu:
+
+-- C'est du nanan... le réveillon oblige.
+
+Il commence à boire; son ivresse doit aller croissant. En riant, il
+chantonne:
+
+-- Tout tourne! Tout tourne... (parlant) Ca vous met du soleil en
+tête... J'ai... j'ai vingt ans... le coeur solide (au public) Y en a
+pas un qui me roulerait en ce moment. Qu'est-ce qui veut lutter avec
+moi. J'parie vingt ronds.
+
+Il a posé machinalement la bouteille dans un coin et quand il veut
+recommencer à boire il en prend une vide sur la table. Il la porte à
+ses lèvres, puis l'examine étonné. La voix de plus en plus pâteuse:
+
+-- Ca coule plus! (au public) C'est encore c'tte sacrée Maria... elle a
+bouché le goulot...
+
+Pleurnichant:
+
+-- Si c'est pas malheureux d'avoir une fille qui met des bouchons là où
+qu'il en faut pas!...
+
+Il s'asseoit près de la table, luttant contre le sommeil:
+
+-- Mon pauvre Zidor! t'as pas de chance avec tes enfants... Ils ne te
+font que des mauvais tours!
+
+Il s'assoupit, mais bientôt se redresse en sursaut:
+
+-- Maria!... fais-moi mon lit... (un temps) Tu veux pas me faire mon
+lit!... (larmoyant) Ca te portera pas chance...
+
+Il attend et reprend d'un air autoritaire:
+
+-- Ton père est fatigué, Maria!
+
+Changeant de ton et pleurnichant:
+
+-- Non! mais c'est y pas malheureux... d'avoir une fille qui... qui
+fait rien au lit!
+
+(Il tombe endormi d'un lourd sommeil d'ivrogne. Il est affaissé plutôt
+qu'assis sur sa chaise; le haut du corps et la tête s'appuient sur la
+table. Quand il commence à ronfler, la porte s'ouvre timidement et
+Charlot passe la tête par l'entrebâillement. Les bouteilles l'empêchent
+de voir son père).
+
+
+
+SCENE II
+
+
+
+L'IVROGNE, MARIA, CHARLOT
+
+
+
+CHARLOT, à voix basse
+
+On ne voit rien.
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Regarde bien.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Sûr!... Y a personne!
+
+
+
+MARIA, ouvrant davantage la porte
+
+Pourtant il y a de la lumière.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Il est peut-être reparti!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Mon Dieu! pourvu qu'il ne soit pas allé au cabaret.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Mince de réveillon, alors!
+
+
+
+(Ils sont entrés; Maria aperçoit l'ivrogne, instinctivement, elle
+saisit le bras du petit).
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Oh!... Il est là!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Zut!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Fais point de bruit, Charlot.
+
+
+
+(Elle referme la porte très doucement. Charlot s'est avancé sur la
+pointe des pieds vers l'ivrogne et l'examine).
+
+
+
+CHARLOT, piteusement.
+
+Il est paf! C'est notre veine!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Chut! il dort! Ne le réveillons pas: ses réveils sont terribles.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Il casse et brise tout!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Oui, mais on peut tout de même être tranquilles... on s'couchera sans
+qu'il nous entende.
+
+
+
+(Elle prend le petit dans ses bras et l'assied sur une chaise près du
+lit pour qu'il s'appuie sur celui-ci).
+
+
+
+Reste là, mon gosse, je vais te déshabiller tout à l'heure.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Me déshabiller?
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Oui.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT, plaintivement.
+
+Mais j'ai faim, Maria... On va pas dormir comme ça.
+
+
+
+MARIA, tressaillant
+
+T'as faim?
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Et j'suis gelé, encore! C'est pas ce qu'on a mangé aujourd'hui qui m'a
+réchauffé l'estomac: un gendarme et du pain, c'est guère réconfortant!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Pauvre gosse...
+
+
+
+(Ses yeux vont à l'ivrogne dont la respiration devient bruyante. Elle a
+un geste de colère).
+
+
+
+Y s'a soûlé, encore, c'bougre-là!... On n'a boulotté qu'un croûton dur
+d'puis l'matin. Va t'y falloir encore s'coucher sans souper.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+C'est crevant!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+C'est Noël: y s'ra pas allé travailler cet après-midi... Depuis que la
+mère est défunte, c'est comme ça à toutes les fêtes!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Ah! si maman était là!...
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Allons, pleure pas, Charlot; tu sais bien que j'fais ce que j'peux pour
+la remplacer...
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Mais t'as beau travailler, y te prend toute ta galette.
+
+
+
+MARIA, haussant les épaules
+
+Oui, et après on meurt de faim, pardi!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT, après un temps
+
+Allons, Maria, donne-moi quelque chose, j'ai faim.
+
+
+
+MARIA, à mi-voix
+
+Y a pu rien dans l'buffet...
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Mais j'ai mal là... (Il montre son estomac et éclate en sanglots)
+J'veux manger, moi.
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Y a rien!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+C'est amusant!
+
+
+
+(Soudain Maria s'avance vers l'ivrogne)
+
+
+
+Ah et puis!!... Tant pis s'il se réveille et s'il casse tout! (Elle le
+secoue par le bras) Eh l'père!... l'gosse a faim; faudrait voir à y
+donner à manger.
+
+
+
+L'IVROGNE, soulevant la tête et essayant d'ouvrir les yeux
+
+Hein!... Quoi!...
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+L'gosse a faim!
+
+
+
+L'IVROGNE
+
+Ca fait rien.
+
+
+
+(Il retombe lourdement endormi).
+
+
+
+MARIA, le secouant plus fortement
+
+Ben, voyons, écoute-moi... J'te dis qu'on a rien dans l'ventre depuis
+c'matin et qu'ça peut pas durer comme ça...
+
+
+
+(Il reste insensible à l'appel de sa fille; même comme elle le secoue
+trop fortement, il roule sous la table avec un bafouillage incohérent;
+puis il se tait et reste immobile. Maria en le voyant tomber a un
+mouvement de recul. De loin, elle le contemple avec mépris).
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Ce qu'il est bu!... Il est rien complet!
+
+
+
+(Charlot enhardi s'est avancé vers son père et l'examine curieusement).
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Mince! quelle culotte!!... Il en dit pas long en c'moment.
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+C'est triste!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+C'est rigolo!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Il a réveillonné sans s'inquiéter de nous.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Et c'est pas ça qui va nous caler l'ventre...
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Hélas!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Dis donc... si tu visitais ses profondes. Il a p't'être pas tout
+raboté.
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+C'est une idée!
+
+
+
+(D'un bond, elle se rapproche de l'ivrogne, et délicatement, elle tâte
+les vêtements et retourne les poches. Du désappointement peu à peu se
+lit sur son visage).
+
+
+
+Non... rien!... Zut!... Ah misère! il a tout boissonné.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Y faisait soif pour lui.
+
+
+
+MARIA, se relevant avec dépit
+
+Ses goussets sont nettoyés comme jamais.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Alors?... Rien?
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Rien!... Quel Noël!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Pas besoin de mettre ses soulier dans la cheminée: c'est la mouise!
+
+
+
+MARIA, apercevant la bouteille
+
+Tiens!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Quoi?
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Regarde... Cette fiole qu'est presque pleine.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT, prenant la bouteille
+
+Il n'aura pas pu boire tout!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Montre un peu pour voir.
+
+
+
+(Successivement ils sentent le goulot puis goûtent le liquide: la
+bouteille change donc quatre fois de mains).
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+C'est du mêlé-cass?
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Oui c'est bon!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Ca chauffe!
+
+
+
+(Un instant, ils examinent la bouteille en silence. Charlot
+timidement).
+
+
+
+Dis donc, Maria?
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Eh bien?
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Si.. si on buvait tout.
+
+
+
+MARIA, hésitant
+
+On serait saoult.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Tant mieux!
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Oh!
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Si... comme ça, on sentira plus le froid ni la faim.
+
+
+
+MARIA, tristement
+
+C'est vrai qu'si on avait le ventre mieux garni, c't'idée-là nous
+viendrait pas.
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Pardine!
+
+
+
+(Il va pour porter à ses lèvres le goulot, mais la main de Maria
+retient la bouteille).
+
+
+
+Oh, non... faut pas!
+
+
+
+(Ils baissent la tête pensivement, tenant toujours chacun la
+bouteille).
+
+
+
+CHARLOT, après un temps
+
+A quoi que tu penses, Maria?
+
+
+
+MARIA, gravement
+
+Je pense aux réveillons d'autrefois... quand maman vivait...
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Oh, oui! les nuits de Noël.
+
+
+
+MARIA, les yeux pleins de larmes
+
+Les belles nuits blanches dont tous les enfants rêvent.
+
+
+
+(Ils restent silencieux, l'un près de l'autre, très graves).
+
+
+
+CHARLOT, timidement après un temps
+
+Alors.
+
+
+
+(Maria saisit brusquement la bouteille),
+
+
+
+MARIA
+
+Tant pis... On a rien à s'mettre sous la dent!... Alors!
+
+
+
+(Elle boit).
+
+
+
+CHARLOT
+
+Ca va être notre réveillon!
+
+
+
+(De nouveau la bouteille passe et repasse de main en main. Pendant que
+le rideau tombe on voit Charlot, ivre, s'appuyer en riant sur sa soeur
+pendant que celle-ci se soutient au mur pour ne pas tomber).

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
