MACQUART (LISA), born 1827, daughter of Antoine Macquart. When a child
of seven she was taken as maid-servant by the wife of the postmaster at
Plassans, whom she accompanied to Paris on her removal there in 1839. La
Fortune des Rougon.
The old lady became very much attached to the girl, and when she died
left her all her savings, amounting to ten thousand francs. Gradelle, a
pork-butcher, who had become acquainted with Lisa by seeing her in the
shop with her mistress, offered her a situation. She accepted, and soon
the whole place seemed to belong to her; she enslaved Gradelle, his
nephew Quenu, and even the smallest kitchen-boy. She became a beautiful
woman, with a love of ease and the determination to secure it by steady
application to duty.
