usual enthusiasm. More money was, of course, required, and, as before,
this was found by Pauline. Failure again met his efforts; the barricade
was washed away by the first high sea. All along Lazare had been subject
to fits of morbid depression, accompanied by a frenzied fear of death,
and after the death of his mother this mental disturbance became even
more acute. The marriage with Pauline had been put off on one excuse or
another, and ultimately she saw that his affections had been transferred
to Louise Thibaudier. With noble self-sacrifice, she released him from
his engagement, and his marriage to Louise followed. He went to Paris
as manager of an insurance company, but soon tiring of business, he
returned to Bonneville, where he lived so tormented by the fear of death
that life itself had little charm for him. La Joie de Vivre.

Having become a widower, he left his son with Pauline Quenu, and went to
America to seek his fortune. Le Docteur Pascal.
