A handsome lad,
he aroused the pity of Gilberte Delaherche, whose lover he became. La
Debacle.
LAGRIFOUL (MARQUIS DE), the Legitimist Deputy for Plassans. His election
came as a severe blow to the Government, and to M. Pequeur des Saulaies,
the sub-prefect of Plassans, who was held responsible for it. In
reality, the election had been largely influenced by the clergy,
combined with the old nobility. It was to counteract this influence that
the Government sent Abbe Faujas to Plassans. The Marquis being a man
of poor abilities, whose public appearances were disappointing,
his overthrow was rendered easier and more complete. La Conquete de
Plassans.
LA JOLIE DAME, a customer at Octave Mouret's shop, _Au Bonheur des
Dames_. She was a favourite with all the salesmen, and as no one knew
her name she was always referred to as "The Pretty Lady." Au Bonheur des
Dames.
LALUBIE, teacher of the sixth form at the college of Plassans. He found
one day his room transformed into a _chapelle ardente_, thanks to his
pupils led by Pouillard. After he recovered from his fright he set
a heavy punishment for the whole class.
