nehon, at Doinville. His private life was not unattended by scandal,
and his relations with Louisette, the younger daughter of Madame Misard,
led to her death. A somewhat similar connection with Severine Aubry,
a ward of his own, had less immediately serious consequences, as
he arranged for her marriage to Roubaud, an employee of the railway
company, whom he took under his protection. Three years later Roubaud
learned the truth by chance, and murdered Grandmorin in the Havre
express between Malaunay and Barentin. The President left a fortune of
over three and a half million francs, among other legacies being one
to Severine Roubaud of the mansion-house of Croix-de-Maufras. La Bete
Humaine.

GRANDMORIN (BERTHE), daughter of the preceding, was the wife of a
magistrate, M. de Lachesnaye. She was a narrow-minded and avaricious
woman, who affected ignorance of her father's real character, and the

murder of President Grandmorin, when vague suspicions fell on Roubaud,
Berthe took up a position antagonistic to her old play-fellow Severine
Roubaud, in the hope that a legacy left by Grandmorin to her would be
cut down. La Bete Humaine.

GRAS (MADAME), an old lady living in the Rue des Orties, who boarded and
lodged young children for a small sum. When Denise Baudu got a situation
in "The Ladies' Paradise," she put her young brother Pepe under the
charge of Madame Gras for a time. Au Bonheur des Dames.

GREGOIRE (CECILE), daughter of Leon Gregoire. Her parents were devoted
to her, and brought her up in happy ignorance, allowing her to do much
as she liked. They taught her to be charitable, and made her dispense
their little gifts to the poor; these were always in kind, as they held
that money was likely to be misused. When the great strike broke out at
Montsou, Cecile could comprehend nothing of the revolt of the poor, or
the fury with which they regarded those better off than themselves,
and when she fell into the hands of a fierce crowd was almost paralysed
under the attack of La Brule and of Pere Bonnemort, from which she
escaped with difficulty. A little later she chanc
