GAILLARD (Madame Theodore), born at Alencon about 1800.  Given name Suzanne.  “A Norman beauty, fresh, blooming, and sturdy.”  One of the employes of Mme. Lardot, the laundress, in 1816, the year when she left her native town after having obtained some money of M. du Bousquier by persuading him that she was with child by him.  The Chevalier de Valois liked Suzanne immensely, but did not allow himself to be caught in this trap.  Suzanne went to Paris and speedily became a fashionable courtesan.  Shortly thereafter she reappeared at Alencon for a visit to attend Athanase Granson’s funeral.  She mourned with the desolate mother, saying to her on leaving:  “I loved him!” At the same time she ridiculed the marriage of Mlle. Cormon with M. du Bousquier, thus avenging the deceased and Chevalier de Valois. [Jealousies of a Country Town.] Under the name of Mme. du Val-Noble she became noted in the artistic and fashionable set.  In 1821-22, she became the mistress of Hector Merlin. [A Distinguished Provincial at Paris.  A Bachelor’s Establishment.] After having been maintained by Jacques Falleix, the broker who failed, she was for a short time in 1830 mistress of Peyrade who was concealed under the name of Samuel Johnson, “the nabob.”  She was acquainted with Esther Gobseck, who lived on rue Saint-Georges in a mansion that had been fitted up for her—­Suzanne —­by Falleix, and obtained by Nucingen for Esther. [Scenes in a Courtesan’s Life.] In 1838 she married Theodore Gaillard her lover since 1830.  In 1845 she received Lora, Bixiou, and Gazonal. [Beatrix.  The Unconscious Humorists.]

Lesourd, king’s attorney; the second, M. Martener a physician; the third, M. Auffray a notary.  Finally she herself married for her second husband, M.
