He was a little man who looked much older than his age, and suffered
from a constant cough. Miserly and spiteful, he was jealous of the
Coupeaus in their success, and rejoiced at their downfall. L'Assommoir.
LORILLEUX (MADAME), wife of the preceding, was a sister of Coupeau, who
married Gervaise Macquart. Along with her husband, she worked at the
trade of gold chain-making; like him, she was so avaricious that her
custom was to examine the soles of her visitors' boots lest they should
depart with any adhering gold dust. From the first she resented her
brother's marriage, and took every opportunity of being disagreeable to
Gervaise. Though she was willing to accept the Coupeaus' hospitality in
their prosperous days, she refused to do anything to assist them after
their downfall. L'Assommoir.
LORILLON (LES), peasants at Rognes, who were said to have been cured of
illness by the bone-setter Sourdeau. La Terre.
LOUBET, a soldier in the 106th Regiment of the line; in the squad of
Corporal Jean Macquart. He was unwilling to fight, and during the battle
of 1st September, 1870, he assisted his comrade Chouteau to carry Sapin
to the ambulance, spending the rest of the day in a tavern.
