Vauquer (nee de Conflans) is an elderly person, who for the past fortyyears has kept a lodging-house in the Rue Nueve-Sainte-Genevieve, in thedistrict that lies between the Latin Quarter and the Faubourg Saint-Marcel.Her house (known in the neighborhood as the Maison Vauquer) receivesmen and women, old and young, and no word has ever been breathedagainst her respectable establishment; but, at the same time, it must be saidthat as a matter of fact no young woman has been under her roof for thirtyyears, and that if a young man stays there for any length of time it is a suresign that his allowance must be of the slenderest. In 1819, however, the timewhen this drama opens, there was an almost penniless young girl amongMme. Vauquer's boarders.That word drama has been somewhat discredited of late; it has beenoverworked and twisted to strange uses in these days of dolorous literature;but it must do service again here, not because this story is dramatic in therestricted sense of the word, but because some tears may perhaps be shedintra et extra muros before it is over.
