Nana.
PORQUIER (DR.) the fashionable medical man of Plassans. He had
considerable influence, and this was secured by Abbe Faujas on behalf
of the Government's candidate for the representation of Plassans by the
promise of an appointment for his son, Guillaume, a young man who had
hitherto given him much trouble. La Conquete de Plassans.
PORQUIER (GUILLAUME), son of Dr. Porquier, had been sent to Paris to
study, but did nothing there but get into debt. He caused his father
much distress, and was supposed to afford the worst possible example to
the youth of Plassans, whom he was believed to lead into all kinds
of mischief. Ultimately, as a reward to his father, who had supported
Delangre as representative of Plassans, Porquier was appointed chief
clerk at the post office. La Conquete de Plassans.
POUILLAUD, a fellow-pupil of Claude Lantier and Pierre Sandoz at the
college of Plassans. While there he was an inveterate practical joker,
one of his escapades being the transformation of Professor Lalubie's
room into a _chapelle ardente_. L'Oeuvre.
POWELL (MISS), second assistant in the corset department at _Au Bonheur
des Dames_.
