who could keep no position, and only got a post in the pay-desk of "The
Ladies' Paradise" through the influence of his mother. He was careless

anxiety; ultimately it was discovered that he had conspired with some of
the salesmen in a long series of frauds, and his dismissal followed. Au
Bonheur des Dames.

irreverent pranks. La Faute de l'Abbe Mouret.

LISA, a workwoman employed by Madame Titreville, the artificial-flower
maker. L'Assommoir.

LISA, Madame Campardon's housemaid. She was active and intelligent,
