Mouret had fallen in love with her, and
she with him, but she had sufficient strength of mind to refuse his
proposals. Ultimately he asked her to marry him, and to this she agreed.
Au Bonheur des Dames.
Madame Denise Mouret had two children, the elder being a girl and the
younger a boy. These resembled their mother, and grew magnificently. Le
Docteur Pascal.
BAUDU (GENEVIEVE), daughter of Baudu, the draper. She was engaged for a
number of years to Colomban, her father's shopman, but in consequence of
the state of trade the marriage was put off from time to time. Genevieve
ultimately learned that her fiance had become infatuated with Clara
Prunaire, one of the shop-girls in "The Ladies' Paradise." Her health,
never good, suffered greatly, and soon after Colomban's disappearance
she died. Au Bonheur des Dames.
BAUDU (JACQUELINE). See Blanche de Sivry.
BAUDU (JEAN), the elder brother of Denise. He worked for a time with
a cabinet-maker in Valognes, but earned nothing, though he learned to
carve so well that a gentleman promised to find a place for him with an
ivory-carver in Paris. He accepted the offer, and came to the city with
his sister and young brother.
