HENNEBEAU (MADAME), wife of the preceding, was the daughter of a rich
spinner at Arras. She did not get on well with her husband, whom she
despised for his small success, and after she accompanied him to
Paris she entered into a notorious liaison with a man whose subsequent
desertion nearly killed her. For a time after their removal to
Montsou she seemed more contented, but this did not last long, and she
ultimately consoled herself with her husband's nephew, Paul Negrel.

of provisions for a dinner-party which she was giving; but she was
incapable of understanding the sufferings of the miners and their
families in the hardships they were forced to undergo. Germinal.
