A
ADELE, the girl for whom Auguste Lantier deserted Gervaise Macquart.
They lived together for seven years, a life of constant bickerings and
quarrels, accompanied, not infrequently, by blows, until the connection
was ended by Adele running away. Her sister was Virginie, with whom
Gervaise fought in the public washing-house on the day of her desertion
by Lantier. L'Assommoir.
ADELE, maid-servant to the Josserands, and one of Hector Trublot's
friends. Pot-Bouille.
ADELE, an assistant in the shop of Quenu, the pork-butcher. It was
she who took charge of the shop on the sudden death of her master. And
subsequently sent Pauline Quenu to Madame Chanteau. La Joie de Vivre.
ADOLPHE, an artillery driver in the same battery as Honore Fouchard. In
accordance with a rule of the French artillery, under which a driver and
a gunner are coupled, he messed with Louis, the gunner, whom, however,
he was inclined to treat as a servant. At the battle of Sedan, before
the Calvary d'Illy, where the French were almost exterminated by the
Prussian artillery, Adolphe fell, killed by a wound in the chest; in a
last convulsion he clasped in his arms Louis, who had fallen at the same
moment, killed by the same shot.
