Nana.
ANNOUCHKA, mistress of Souvarine, and implicated with him in a political
plot. Disguised as a countryman, she assisted in the undermining of a
railway over which an imperial train was to pass, and it was she
who eventually lit the fuse. She was captured along with others, and
Souvarine, who had escaped, was present at her trial during six long
days. When she came to be executed, she looked in vain among the crowd
for her lover, till Souvarine mounted on a stone, and, their eyes having
met, remained fixed in one long gaze till the end. Germinal.
ANTONIA, waiting-maid to Clorinde Balbi, with whom she was on familiar
terms. Son Excellence Eugene Rougon.
ARCHANGLAS (BROTHER), a Christian Brother, who lived at Les Artaud, and
taught children there. He was a coarse-minded man of violent temper,
whose hatred of women led him to make the gravest charges against them.
He constituted himself a spy on the actions of Abbe Mouret, and was
partly the means of calling back the priest's memory of his sacred
calling. He insulted Jeanbernat and Albine so grossly, that after the
girl's death the old man attacked him and cut off his right ear with a
pocket-knife.
