HULOT (Victorin), elder child of the foregoing.  Married Mlle. Celestine Crevel and was father of a family.  Became under Louis Philippe one of the leading attorneys of Paris.  Was deputy, counsel of the War Department, consulting counsel of the police service and counsel for the civil list.  His salary for the various offices came to eighteen thousand francs.  He was seated at Palais-Bourbon when the election of Dorlange-Sallenauve was contested.  His connection with the police enabled him to save his family from the clutches of Mme. Valerie Crevel.  In 1834 he owned a house on rue Louis-le-Grand.  Seven or eight years later he sheltered nearly all the Hulots and their near kindred, but he could not prevent the second marriage of his father.

HULOT (Madame Victorin), wife of preceding, born Celestine Crevel; married as a result of a meeting between her father and her father-in-law, who were both libertines.  She took part in the dissensions between the two families, replaced Lisbeth Fischer in the care of the house on rue Louis-le-Grand, and probably never saw the second Mme. Celestin Crevel, unless at the death-bed of the retired perfumer. [Cousin Betty.]

HULOT (Hortense). (See Steinbock, Comtesse Wenceslas.)

HULOT D’ERVY (Baronne Hector), nee Agathe Piquetard of Isigny, where she became the second wife of Hector Hulot d’Ervy.  Went to Paris as kitchen-maid for Hulot about December, 1845, and was married to her master, then a widower, on February 1, 1846. [Cousin Betty.]

HUMANN, celebrated Parisian tailor of 1836 and succeeding years.  At the instance of the students Rabourdin and Juste he clothed the poverty-stricken Zephirin Marcas “as a politician.” [Z.  Marcas.]

HUSSON (Madame.) (See Mme. Clapart.)

HUSSON (Oscar), born about 1804, son of the preceding and of M. Husson —­army-contractor; led a checkered career, explained by his origin and childhood.  He scarcely knew his father, who made and soon lost a fortune.  The previous fast life of his mother, who afterwards married again, gave rise to or upheld some more or less influential connections and made her, during the first Empire, the titular femme de chambre to Madame Mere—­Letitia Bonaparte.  Napoleon’s fall marked the ruin of the Hussons.  Oscar and his mother—­now married to M. Clapart—­lived in a modest apartment on rue de la Cerisaie, Paris.  Oscar obtained a license and became clerk in Desroches’ law office in Paris, being coached by Godeschal.  During this time he became acquainted with two young men, his cousins the Marests.  One of them had previously instigated an early escapade of Oscar’s, and it was now followed by one much more serious, on rue de Vendome at the house of Florentine Cabirolle, who was then maintained by Cardot, Oscar’s wealthy uncle.  Husson was forced to abandon law and enter military service.  He was in the cavalry regiment
