oom on the first floor of the Cafe du Commerce was his usual haunt, and
there Roubaud frequently spent half the night playing cards with him.
Later, it fell to him to arrest Roubaud on the charge of murdering
President Grandmorin. La Bete Humaine.

CAZENOVE (DOCTOR), a man of fifty-four years of age, of a vigorous and
lean habit, who after thirty years' service in the navy settled down
at Arromanches, where an uncle of his had left him a house. He affected
scepticism of the power of medicine, but was unremitting in the care of
his patients. Among the earliest of these was Madame Chanteau, and
he became on intimate terms with the family, for some time acting as
trustee to Pauline Quenu. La Joie de Vivre.

CECILE (MADEMOISELLE), daughter of a butcher in the neighbourhood of the
_Halles Centrales_. Le Ventre de Paris.

CELESTE, lady's maid and confidante of Madame Renee Saccard. La Curee.

CELESTINE, a friend of Clemence. She was neurotic, and had a horror of
the hair of cats, seeing it everywhere, and even turning her tongue in
the belief that some of it had got into her mouth. L'Assommoir.

CESAR, a bull at the farm of La Borderie. La Terre.

CHADEUIL (MADAME), a milliner in the Rue Sainte-Anne. Octave Mouret's
shop, "The Ladies' Paradise," ruined her within two years. Au Bonheur
des Dames.

CHAINE, the companion of Mahoudeau, the sculptor. He was born at
Saint-Firmin, a village about six miles from Plassans, where he served
as a cowboy until he was drawn in the conscription. Unfortunately for
him, a gentleman of the district who admired the walking-stick handles
which he carved out of roots with his knife, persuaded Chaine that he
was a rustic genius, and with extreme foolishness persuaded him to go
in for painting. Having forty pounds, he went to Paris, where his small
fortune lasted him for a year. Then, as he had only twenty francs left,
he took up his quarters with his friend Mahoudeau. He had no talent,
but had a certain skill in copying pictures with extreme exactness.
The relations of Chaine and Mahoudeau with Mathilde Jabouille led to a
coldness between the two friends, and ultimately they ceased to be on
speaking terms, though they continued to live together, and even to
sleep in the same bed. Some time afterwards Chaine gave up art, and
started a booth at country fairs, in which he ran a wheel-of-fortune
for trifling prizes. The booth was decorated with some of his alleged
masterpieces. L'Oeuvre.
