La Debacle.
SAMBUC (PROSPER), brother of the preceding. Of a nature docile and
hard-working, he hated the life of the woods, and would have liked to
be a farm labourer. He entered the army and became one of the Chasseurs
d'Afrique. Sent to France to take part in the war against Germany, he
shared in many weary marches, but saw no fighting, till the battle of
Sedan, when his horse, Zephir, which he loved like a brother, was killed
under him. He made his escape after the battle, and having been able
to change his uniform for the clothes of a countryman, he returned to
Remilly and got employment on the farm of Fouchard. La Debacle.
SANDORFF, a member of the Austrian Embassy at Paris. He married Mlle.
de Ladricourt, who was much younger than he. He was very niggardly.
L'Argent.
SANDORFF (BARONESS), wife of the Councillor to the Austrian Embassy,
who was thirty-five years older than herself. She was an inveterate
speculator, and, as her husband refused to assist her, she found it
necessary to have recourse to her lovers when her losses were greater
than usual. She stopped at nothing to gain information, and at one time
was on intimate terms with Saccard.
