Nana.
MIGNOT, one of the salesmen in the glove department at "The Ladies'
Paradise." He entered into a conspiracy with Albert Lhomme to defraud
his employer, and this was successful to a considerable extent before
its discovery; his dismissal followed, but there was no prosecution, as
the firm preferred not to bring its internal affairs before the public
eye. He afterwards got a situation as a traveller, and had even the
boldness to call at "The Ladies' Paradise." Au Bonheur des Dames.
MIMI-LA-MORT, a pupil at the College of Plassans, who was also nicknamed
_Le Squelette-Externe_ (The Skeleton Day-Boarder) on account of his
extreme thinness. Against the regulations of the College, he used to
bring in snuff to the other scholars. L'Oeuvre.
MINOUCHE, a white cat which belonged to the Chanteaus. La Joie de Vivre.
MISARD, signalman on the railway at Croix-de-Maufras, between Malaunay
and Barentin. He was a little puny man, with thin, discoloured hair and
beard, and a lean, hollow-cheeked face. His work was mechanical, and he
seemed to carry it through without thought or intelligence. His wife,
a cousin of Jacques Lantier, looked after the level-crossing which
adjoined their house until failing health prevented her from leaving
the house.
