Bete Humaine.
DEQUERSONNIERE, an architect with whom Louis Dubuche served his
apprenticeship. He was a former winner of the Grand Prize, and was
architect of the Civil Branch of Public Works, an officer of the Legion
of Honour, and a member of the Institute. His principal production was
the church of Saint-Mathieu, a building which shared the characteristics
of a pastry-cook's mould and a clock in the style of the First Empire.
L'Oeuvre.
DESBAZEILLES, President of the Assize Court at Rouen on the occasion
of the trial of Roubaud. He was a bachelor, and an old friend of Madame
Bonnehon; a friendship which still continued, notwithstanding his sixty
years. He was the literary glory of the Court, and his cleverly turned
sonnets were well known. La Bete Humaine.
DESFORGES, a stock-broker. The friendship of his wife with Hartmann, the
great financier, had been very useful to him. He died leaving a fortune,
the amount of which was minimized by some and exaggerated by others. Au
Bonheur des Dames.
DESFORGES (MADAME HENRIETTE), daughter of a Councillor of State and
widow of a stock-broker, who left her a small fortune.
