L'Argent.
SANDOZ (PERE), a Spaniard who took refuge in France in consequence of a
political disturbance in which he was involved. He started near Plassans
a paper mill with new machinery of his own invention. When he died,

involved, and burdened with so many tangled lawsuits, that the whole of
her remaining means were swallowed up. L'Oeuvre.
SANDOZ MERE (MADAME), wife of the preceding, was a native of Burgundy.
Yielding to her hatred of the Provencals, whom she blamed for the death
of her husband, and even for the slow paralysis from which she herself
was suffering, she migrated to Paris, with her son Pierre, who then
supported her out of a clerk's small salary. In Rue d'Enfer she occupied
a single room on the same flat as her son, and there, disabled by
paralysis, lived in morose and voluntary solitude, surrounded by his
tender care.
