these were completed she succumbed to the hardship of her life. Le

QUENU, the half-brother of Florent. After the death of his mother, he
was taken to Paris by Florent, who supported him by teaching. He was at
first idle and unsettled, but after Florent's arrest he was taken in by
his uncle Gradelle, to whose business of pork-butcher, as well as to a
considerable sum of money, he ultimately succeeded. After his uncle's
death he married Lisa Macquart, who had previously assisted in the shop,
and they had a daughter, Pauline. Business prospered, and the Quenus
were soon in a position to remove to larger premises. Florent on his
return from exile was kindly received by Quenu, who later on took no
part in the efforts made by his wife to induce his brother to leave
voluntarily. He was ignorant of his wife's action with reference to the
subsequent arrest of Florent. Le Ventre de Paris.

He died of apoplexy in 1863, six months after the death of his wife,
leaving a will under which M. Chanteau, his cousin became the guardian
of his daughter Pauline. La Joie de Vivre.

QUENU (MADAME LISA), wife of the preceding. See Lisa Macquart.

QUENU (PAULINE), born 1852, daughter of Quenu, the pork-butcher, and
Lisa Macquart, his wife. A quiet, amiable child, she unwittingly gave
Mlle. Saget, who bullied her, information regarding her uncle Florent's
history, which led to the clamour against him in the Market, and
ultimately to his arrest. Le Ventre de Paris.

After the death of her father, who left her a fortune of a hundred and
fifty thousand francs, Pauline went in 1863 to live at Bonneville with
M. Chanteau, her guardian. She soon endeared herself to her relatives,
and became much attached to her cousin Lazare. As she grew up and her
nature developed, it became more and more her pleasure to sacrifice
herself to her friends. She allowed her fortune to be squandered by the
Chanteaus, and though engaged to be married to Lazare, she released
him in order that he might marry another girl with whom he had become
infatuated. After his mania became acute, it was she who endeavoured
to comfort him, and to dispel his unreasoning fear of death. She never
married. La Joie de Vivre.

After the death of Chanteau, she remained at Bonneville, resolved never
to marry, in order that she might devote herself entirely to Lazare's
little son, Paul. Le Docteur Pascal.
