His landscapes were conscientious and excellent in
intent, but his real passion was music. Becoming more and more engrossed
in this, he took lessons in playing the piano from a middle-aged lady
whom he married soon afterwards. He established himself at Melun in one
of his two houses, going to Paris two or three times a month to attend a
concert, and he continued to exhibit each year at the _Salon_ one of his
little studies of the banks of the Seine. L'Oeuvre.
GALISSARD, a haberdasher of Plassans, whose daughter married Professor
Lalubie. She was a pretty girl to whom Claude Lantier and Sandoz used to
sing serenades.
GARCONNET, a Legitimist who was Mayor of Plassans at the time of the
_Coup d'Etat_. He was taken prisoner by the insurgents. La Fortune des
Rougon.
GARTLAUBEN (VON), captain in the Prussian Army. During the occupation of
Sedan he was billeted on Delaherche. He was a person of some importance,
as his uncle had been made Governor-General at Rheims, and exercised
sovereign power over the district. Fascinated by Gilberte Delaherche,
his chief wish was to be taken for a man of refinement, and not for
a barbarous soldier.
