La Terre.
RODRIGUEZ, a distant relative of the Empress, who made a claim upon the
State for a large sum, which he said had been due since 1808. Eugene
Rougon, the Minister of State, gave great offence to the Empress by
opposing the claim. Son Excellence Eugene Rougon.
ROGNES-BOUQUEVAL (LES), an ancient and noble family whose estate,
already much reduced by enforced sales, was declared national property
in 1793, and was purchased piece by piece by Isidore Hourdequin. La
Terre.
ROIVILLE (LES), members of Parisian society at whose house Baroness
Sandorff occasionally met Gundermann. L'Argent.
ROSALIE, an old chair-mender at Rognes. The poor woman lived all alone,
sick and without a copper. Abbe Godard came to her assistance. La Terre.
ROSE, a waitress in Lebigre's wine-shop. Le Ventre de Paris.
ROSE, servant in the household of Francois Mouret, was an old woman of
crabbed nature and uncertain temper. She fell under the influence of
Abbe Faujas, and encouraged her mistress in the religious observances
which led to the neglect of her family. Later, when Madame Mouret's
health became impaired, and she became subject to fits, it was chiefly
Rose who threw suspicion on her master, encouraging the belief that
he was insane and had inflicted injuries on his wife.
