GOMARD, the keeper of a working-man's cafe in Rue de la Femme-sans-Tete,

GONIN, a family of fisher-folks who lived at Bonneville. It consisted of
Gonin, his wife, and one little girl. A cousin of the wife, named Cuche,
came to live with them after his house had been washed away by the sea.
Gonin soon after fell into bad health, and his wife and Cuche treated
him so badly that the police talked of an inquiry. Pauline Quenu tried
to reform the little girl, who had been allowed to grow up wild. La Joie
de Vivre.

GORJU, a pupil of Dequersonniere, and himself a future architect. On one

GOUJET (MADAME), mother of the preceding, was a lace-mender, and lived
