MARTY (MADAME), wife of the preceding, was a woman of about thirty-five
years of age, whose face, never beautiful, was now much marked by
small-pox. She had a perfect mania for spending money on clothes, and
never visited "The Ladies' Paradise" without buying innumerable articles
for which she had no need. As a result of her extravagance, her husband
was nearly ruined, and was forced to increase his earnings by giving
private lessons. Au Bonheur des Dames.
MARTY (VALENTINE), daughter of the preceding, a young girl of fourteen
years of age, who was used by her mother as an excuse for some of her
extravagance, as she dressed her like herself, with all the fashionable
novelties of which she submitted to the irresistible seduction. Au
Bonheur des Dames.
MASCART (PERE), a blind paralytic to whom Angelique showed much
kindness. Le Reve.
MASSACRE, one of the dogs of old Soulas, the shepherd. It shared the
hatred of its master of La Cognette. La Terre.
MASSIAS, a frequenter of the Paris Bourse, where he gained a living by
bringing business to stockbrokers, from whom he received a commission on
each transaction.
