ROUSSELOT (MONSEIGNEUR), Bishop of Plassans, an amiable but weak man,
who was entirely under the influence of Abbe Fenil. Having got into
disfavour with the Government over the election of a Legitimist as
Deputy, he was anxious to retrieve his position, and with this object
agreed to appoint Abbe Faujas vicar of Saint-Saturnin's church. This led
to a quarrel with Abbe Fenil, who, of course, resented the appointment.
The Bishop being still in some doubt as to the standing of Abbe Faujas
with the Government, went to Paris, where he interviewed Eugene Rougon,
the Minister of State. Satisfied with the information which he received,
he threw himself heartily into the political struggle then proceeding at
Plassans, giving Faujas every assistance in carrying out his schemes on
behalf of the Bonapartist candidate.
