Thanks to the death of an uncle, he
was very rich, and his chief ambition was to be in everything ultra
Parisian. He posed as a man who had experienced everything, and who
no longer thought anything worthy of being taken seriously. Introduced
behind the scenes of the Theatre des Varietes by his cousin Fauchery,
he met Nana, who did him the honour of ruining him without much loss of
time. When his money was done, he returned to the country in the hope of
marrying a distant relation who was both ugly and pious. Nana.
LAFOUASSE, a tavern-keeper in the neighbourhood of Plassans, between the
old demesne of Paradou and the village of Artaud. He was treated by
Dr. Pascal Rougon for ataxy, but died after a hypodermic injection of a
serum with which the doctor was experimenting. Le Docteur Pascal.
LAGARDE (EDMOND), a sergeant in the 6th Regiment of the line. At the
most his age was twenty-three, but he did not appear more than eighteen.
He took part in the battle of Sedan, and was wounded in the left arm,
which was broken by a bullet. His father, who was a shopkeeper in Paris,
was a customer of Delaherche, and he was removed to the house of the
manufacturer, where he was treated as one of the family.
