TROMPETTE, one of the horses in the Voreux pit. It only lived a few
months after being taken underground. Germinal.
TRON, a labourer in the farm of La Borderie. He was one of Jacqueline
Cognet's lovers, and exhibited jealousy amounting to insanity regarding
her. Having been dismissed by his master, he opened a trap-door through
which Hourdequin fell and was killed. When he found that Jacqueline
would not forgive him for this stupid murder, which ruined her
prospects, he set fire to the farm buildings. La Terre.
TROUCHE (HONORE), brother-in-law of Abbe Faujas. Having been
unsuccessful in business at Besancon, he followed Faujas to Plassans,
where he went with his wife to live in rooms rented by the Abbe from
Francois Mouret. He was of bad character and quite unscrupulous, but by
the influence of Faujas he was appointed Secretary to the Girls' Home
started by Madame Mouret and other ladies of Plassans. Having got a
footing in the Mourets' house, he soon began to take advantage of his
position, and little by little got possession of the whole premises. He
did all he could to encourage the idea of Francois Mouret's madness, and
after the unfortunate man's removal to the asylum was able with greater
ease to carry out his schemes.
