RASSENEUR (MADAME), wife of the preceding. At the time her husband
was dismissed from the pit, she already held a licence, and they

husband, but during the strike trouble was careful to show extreme

RASTOIL, a neighbour of Francois Mouret. He was a rich man about sixty
years of age, who had been president of the civil tribunal of Plassans
for over twenty years. He was a Legitimist, and his house was used as
a convenient meeting-place for the party. For some time he refused to
compromise his political position with Abbe Faujas, who had all along
concealed his opinions. Ultimately, however, he supported the candidate
for the representation of Plassans proposed by Faujas, for which he was
rewarded by an appointment for his son. La Conquete de Plassans.
RASTOIL (MADAME), wife of the preceding, was a listless and somewhat
prudish woman whose old entanglement with M. Delangre was still
remembered with amusement in the cafes.
