daughter unmercifully. La Terre.
COGNET (JACQUELINE), alias LA COGNETTE, daughter of the preceding. She
went to La Borderie at the age of twelve years, and before long had
several lovers. She made her fortune, however, by resisting her master,
Alexandre Hourdequin, for six months, and when she ultimately became
his mistress she had made her position so secure that he was afterwards
unable to part with her. Notwithstanding her relations with Hourdequin,
she had other lovers, and the old shepherd Soulas, from motives of
revenge, informed Hourdequin of her intimacy with one of them, a man
named Tron. The latter, having been dismissed, killed Hourdequin and
burned down the farm, so that Jacqueline was compelled to leave La
Borderie no richer than she had come. La Terre.
COLICHE (LA), a fine cow which belonged to the Mouche family and was a
great favourite with them. La Terre.
