Le Reve.
GRANOUX (ISIDORE), one of the group of conservatives who met in Pierre
Rougon's yellow room to declaim against the Republic. La Fortune des
Rougon.
GRAS (MADAME), an old lady living in the Rue des Orties, who boarded and
lodged young children for a small sum. When Denise Baudu got a situation
in "The Ladies' Paradise," she put her young brother Pepe under the
charge of Madame Gras for a time. Au Bonheur des Dames.
GREGOIRE (CECILE), daughter of Leon Gregoire. Her parents were devoted
to her, and brought her up in happy ignorance, allowing her to do much
as she liked. They taught her to be charitable, and made her dispense
their little gifts to the poor; these were always in kind, as they held
that money was likely to be misused. When the great strike broke out at
Montsou, Cecile could comprehend nothing of the revolt of the poor, or
the fury with which they regarded those better off than themselves,
and when she fell into the hands of a fierce crowd was almost paralysed
under the attack of La Brule and of Pere Bonnemort, from which she
escaped with difficulty. A little later she chanced to call on a
charitable errand at Maheu's house, and unfortunately was left alone for
a few moments with Bonnemort, who was now supposed to be helpless.
