flames. La Conquete de Plassans.
TROUCHE (MADAME OLYMPE), wife of the preceding, and sister of Abbe
Faujas. She accompanied her husband to Plassans, and contributed largely
to the ruin of the Mouret family. Utterly heartless, she stopped at

within her power. Nemesis came with the return of Francois Mouret, who
set fire to his house, causing the death of Madame Trouche as well as
that of her husband. La Conquete de Plassans.
TROUILLE (LA), the nickname of Olympe Fouan. La Terre.

was to select his female friends from among the maid-servants of
his acquaintances. He was employed as correspondent in the office of
Monsieur Desmarquay, a money-changer. Pot-Bouille.
V
VABRE, a notary of Versailles who retired to Paris with a fortune, part
