Le Docteur Pascal.
LEVEQUE (MADEMOISELLE), daughter of the preceding, was an old friend
of Clotilde Rougon, who was three years older than her. She married Dr.
Ramond. Le Docteur Pascal.
LHOMME (M.), chief cashier at "The Ladies' Paradise." "Son of a
tax-collector at Chablis, he came to Paris as a clerk in the office of
a merchant of the Port-aux-Vins. Then, while lodging in Rue Cuvier,
he married the daughter of his concierge, and from that day he bowed
submissively before his wife, whose commercial ability filled him with
respect. She earned more than twenty thousand francs a year in the dress
department of 'The Ladies' Paradise,' whilst he only drew a fixed
salary of five thousand francs." The loss of his right arm in an omnibus
accident did not interfere with his work, and did not prevent him from
playing upon a specially constructed French horn, an instrument of which
he was passionately fond. Au Bonheur des Dames.
LHOMME (MADAME AURELIE), wife of the preceding. The daughter of a small
tailor, she had keen business instincts, and, as head of the dress
department at "The Ladies' Paradise," was able to make a large income.
