PHASIE (AUNT), was the wife of Misard, and the mother of Flore and
Louisette. She was a cousin of the Lantiers and was godmother to
Jacques, who was left in her charge when his parents went to Paris. Her
first husband died, leaving her with two daughters, and she married for
a second time Misard, a little man, cunning and avaricious, who was
five years her senior. Jacques found them later, living in Normandy at
Croix-de-Maufras on the line to Havre, where Misard was signalman, and
his wife had charge of the level crossing. It was a miserable existence,
without neighbours or any one to speak to, without even anything to look
at, except the trains constantly rushing past.
