LIARDIN, a relation of the Quenus.  He was a member of Pauline’s family council, and consented to her emancipation.  La Joie de Vivre.

LIENARD, son of a rich Angers draper, came to Paris and got a situation in “The Ladies’ Paradise.”  His spare time was spent in idleness and debauchery, and when his father recalled him to Angers he refused to leave Paris.  Au Bonheur des Dames.

LIEUTAUD (M.), the diocesan architect at Plassans.  He was consulted by Madame Mouret and Abbe Faujas regarding the Home for Girls which they founded, and he subsequently prepared the plans for the building.  La Conquete de Plassans.

LIEVIN, a townsman of Plassans, who was amongst those enrolled and armed by Pierre Rougon to rescue the Town Hall, which had been occupied by the Republicans.  He was so excited that he fired in the air without intending to do so.  La Fortune des Rougon.

LIOTARD (VEUVE HENRI), a firm of shipowners who joined the transport syndicate formed by Aristide Saccard.  L’Argent.

LISA, a peasant girl of Les Artaud.  Like the others of her class, she was void of any religious feeling, and when she came to decorate the church for the festival of the Virgin, she engaged in all sorts of irreverent pranks.  La Faute de l’Abbe Mouret.

LISA, a workwoman employed by Madame Titreville, the artificial-flower maker.  L’Assommoir.

LISA, Madame Campardon’s housemaid.  She was active and intelligent, and her conduct was regarded as irreproachable.  This was, however, a somewhat too favourable estimate, and her companionship was by no means beneficial to the Campardons’ young daughter, Angele.  Pot-Bouille.

LISON (LA), the name of the express engine driven by Jacques Lantier up to the time of the terrible railway accident caused by Flore.  La Bete Humaine.

LLORENTZ (MADAME DE), one of the ladies-in-waiting of the Empress Eugenie and sister of M. La Rouquette, was the widow of General de Llorentz.  She carried on an intrigue with De Massy, and was said to hold three compromising letters from him regarding certain august personages.  Son Excellence Eugene Rougon.

LOGRE, a fish auctioneer at the Halles Centrales.  He attended the revolutionary meetings at Lebigre’s wine shop, and made violent speeches there, but was really an agent of the Police.  Le Ventre de Paris.

LOISEAU, a municipal councillor of Rognes.  He was devoted to the Mayor, Alexandre Hourdequin, on whose farm his son worked.  He was an uncle of Macqueron.  La Terre.

LONJUMEAU, a member of the band of brigands led by Beau-Francois.  La Terre.

LORET (MADAME), a woman who lived in the neighbourhood of the Halles Centrales.  Mademoiselle Saget made ill-natured remarks regarding her.  Le Ventre de Paris.
