At first he earned only his board and
lodging, and, as he was good-looking and a favourite with women, he made
heavy inroads on his sister's small purse. Ultimately, when he did get a
wage, he took the earliest opportunity of getting married, inducing his
sister, as usual, to give him what little money she had been able to
save. Au Bonheur des Dames.
BAUDU (PEPE), the youngest brother of Denise. He was a mere child when
the family came to Paris, and it was only by the greatest self-sacrifice
that Denise was able to support him. When she went to "The Ladies'
Paradise" he was boarded with Madame Gras, and after his sister's
dismissal he went with her to Bourras, who showed great kindness to both
of them. After Denise returned to "The Ladies' Paradise," Pepe again
went to live with Madame Gras for a time. Au Bonheur des Dames.
BAUDU (THERESE), wife of Jean Baudu. Au Bonheur des Dames.
BAUGE, who was the younger son of a grocer at Dunkerque, came to Paris
and got a situation in the linen department of the "Bon Marche," where
he was able to make a fairly good income. He became the lover of Pauline
Cugnot, whom he afterwards married, and, in order to be near her, left
the "Bon Marche" and took an appointment in "The Ladies' Paradise.
