se reposer en début d’après-midi, comme chaque jour. Juste
après les escalopes à la purée, Thomas est allé dans le
vieux bureau de son grand-père pour chercher la petite clé.
Il l’a enfin découverte cachée dans un tiroir, avec une collection d’anciens francs. Puisque sa grand-mère dort, il va pouvoir y jeter un coup d’œil en toute tranquillité. Il essaie de
refermer la porte de l’atelier derrière lui sans faire trop de
bruit et s’installe dans le vieux canapé. La boîte n’est pas
facile à ouvrir : sans doute son grand-père ne l’a-t-il plus
