L'Argent.
SEDILLE (GUSTAVE), son of M. Sedille, the silk merchant. To the
disappointment of his father, he despised commercial pursuits, and
cared only for pleasure. In the hope that he might take an interest
in finance, he was given a situation in the office of Mazard, the
stockbroker, where, however, he did little work, and soon engaged in
speculations on his own account. The failure of the Universal Bank left
him penniless, and deep in debt. L'Argent.
SICARDOT (COMMANDER), the father-in-law of Aristide Rougon. He had the
strongest intellect of the politicians who met in Pierre Rougon's yellow
drawing-room. He was taken prisoner by the insurgents at the time of the
_Coup d'Etat_. La Fortune des Rougon.
SICARDOT, the name of Aristide Rougon's wife's family. He adopted this
name when he went to Paris in 1851, using it for considerable time
before he again changed it to Saccard. L'Argent.
SICARDOT (ANGELE). See Madame Aristide Rougon.
SIDONIE (MADAME), the name by which Sidonie Rougon (q.v.) was generally
known. La Curee.
SIMON (LA MERE), an old woman who assisted Severine Roubaud in her
housework.
