c'est arrivé: italicised in the print (Mon Journal t.15 p.150). The idiom «croire que c'est arrivé» means to take something at face value, to be taken in: Dusautoy is carried away by Marie's fine phrases and believes them, whereas Julian smiles so as not to seem taken in («pour ne pas paraître me gober»). (Sources: Littré / TLFi, «arriver»: «croire que c'est arrivé».) ↩
