eglected, Francois Mouret was wrongfully removed
to the asylum at Les Tulettes, where confinement soon unhinged his
not over-strong intellect. The Abbe now became even more arrogant, and
Madame Mouret was barely tolerated in her own house. Ultimately Francois
Mouret escaped from the asylum, and returning by night to his home,
set fire to it; along with him, the Abbe Faujas and all his relations
perished in the flames. La Conquete de Plassans.

FAUJAS (MADAME), mother of the preceding. She accompanied the Abbe to
Plassans and took up house with him there. Absolutely devoted to her
son, she made herself his slave, and sacrificed everything and every one
to his interests. It was largely through her that the gradual ousting of
the Mourets from their own home became possible; and to accomplish her
ends she stopped short at nothing; seldom speaking, but always watching,
she was ready to grasp each opportunity as it arose. Retribution came
with the escape of Francois Mouret from the asylum, and Madame Faujas
perished along with the other members of her family in the conflagration
raised by him. La Conquete de Plassans.

FAUQUENOIX, an associate of Baron Desrumaux in the department of the
mines of Montsou. Germinal.

FAUVELLE, a sugar-refinery at Montsou, which suffered on account of the

FAVIER, a salesman in the silk department of "The Ladies' Paradise."
He had for some reason an ill-will towards Denise Baudu and spread
scandalous stories about her. Henri Deloche, her friend, hearing him do
so on one occasion, threw a glass of wine in his face. Au Bonheur des
Dames.

FAYEUX, a collector of rents at Vendome. He did business in connection
with Busch, and also with La Mechain, whose cousin he was said to be. He
speculated on the bourse through Mazaud, and after the downfall of
the Universal Bank it was found that he had embezzled large sums from
persons employing him. L'Argent.

FENIL (ABBE), head of the theological seminary at Plassans. He was a
keen ecclesiastic, with strong Legitimist principles, and from the first
took up a position antagonistic to Abbe Faujas. Having great influence
with the Bishop of Plassans, he was for some time able to prevent Faujas
from receiving preferment; a hint from Government, however, caused the
Bishop to change his views, and Abbe Fenil was for the time routed. It
was suspected that he ultimately induced Antoine Ma
