In consequence of his
views, he was known on the Bourse as "bear" Moser. Speculating heavily
against the rise in the shares of the Universal Bank, he was at one time
on the verge of ruin, but the collapse of that institution left him with
an enormous fortune. L'Argent.
MOUCHE (LE PERE), the sobriquet of Michel Fouan, the third son of Joseph
Casimir Fouan, and brother of La Grande, Pere Fouan, and Laure
Badeuil. When his father's estate was divided, he received the family
dwelling-house and some land, but was dissatisfied with his share and
continued to accuse his brother and sister, though forty years had
elapsed, of having robbed him when the lots were drawn. He had been
long a widower, and, a soured unlucky man, he lived alone with his
two daughters, Lise and Francoise. At sixty years of age he died of an
attack of apoplexy. La Terre.
MOUCHE (FRANCOISE), younger daughter of Michel Fouan, alias Mouche. Her
mother died early, and she was brought up by her sister Lise, to whom
she was devotedly attached. She had a passion for justice, and when she
had said "that is mine and that is yours," she would have been prepared
to go to the stake in support of her rights.
