When she came, she
made straight for "The Ladies' Paradise" and spent all her savings in an
afternoon. Au Bonheur des Dames.
BOUTELOUP (LOUIS), a workman at the Voreux pit. He lodged with Madame
Levaque, whose lover he became. Germinal.
BOUTEROUE (HILARION), second child of Vincent Bouteroue, and grandson of
Marianne Fouan (La Grande). The latter had never forgiven the marriage
of her daughter, and would do nothing to assist the two children after
the death of their parents. Hilarion, who was of weak intellect, was
looked after from childhood by his sister Palmyre, who wore herself out
in his service. After Palmyre's death his grandmother gave him shelter,
but took advantage of his great strength by employing him at work of the
hardest kind. Ultimately Hilarion committed a serious assault on the
old woman, and in defending herself she struck him on the head with a
bill-hook, inflicting a wound from which he died. La Terre.
BOUTEROUE (PALMYRE), sister of the preceding, worked like a slave to
support her brother, and died completely worn out by toil and hardship
at the age of thirty-five.
