COUDELOUP (MADAME), a baker in Rue des Poissonniers. She supplied the
Coupeaus until Lantier decided that they must have finer bread from a
Viennese bakery. L'Assommoir.
COUGNY (COMTE DE), owner in the eighteenth century of the mining
concession of Cougny, which in 1760 was joined to two neighbouring
concessions to form the Company of the Mines of Montsou. Germinal.
COUILLOT (LES), peasants at Rognes. Their son got the number 206 in the
drawing for the conscription. La Terre.
COUPEAU, a zinc-worker, who married Gervaise Macquart after her
desertion by Lantier. He was the son of a drunken father, but was
himself steady and industrious until a serious accident caused by a fall
from a roof brought about a change. After that he became unwilling to
work and began to spend his time in public-houses; his days of work
became fewer and fewer, until, a confirmed drunkard, he lived entirely
on his wife's earnings. Attacks of delirium tremens followed, and in the
end he died in the Asylum of Sainte-Anne after an attack of more than
usual violence. L'Assommoir.
COUPEAU (MADAME GERVAISE), wife of the preceding.
