" Madame Vauquer, n???e de Conflans, est une vieille femme qui, depuis quarante ans, tient ??? Paris une pension bourgeoise ???tablie rue Neuve-Sainte-Genevi???ve, entre le quartier latin et le faubourg Saint-Marceau. Cette pension, connue sous le nom de la Maison Vauquer, admet ???galement des hommes et des femmes, des jeunes gens et des vieillards, sans que jamais la m???disance ait attaqu??? les moeurs de ce respectable ???tablissement. Mais aussi depuis trente ans ne s'y ???tait-il jamais vu de jeune personne, et pour qu'un jeune homme y demeure, sa famille doit-elle lui faire une bien maigre pension. N???anmoins, en 1819, ???poque ??? la- quelle ce drame commence, il s'y trouvait une pauvre jeune fille. En quelque discr???dit que soit tomb??? le mot drame par la mani???re abusive et tortionnaire dont il a ???t??? prodigu??? dans ces temps de douloureuse litt???rature, il est n???cessaire de l'employer ici: non que cette histoire soit dramatique dans le sens vrai du mot; mais, l'oeuvre accomplie, peut-???tre aura-t-on vers??? quelques larmes intra muros et extra. Se- ra-t-elle comprise au del??? de Paris ? le doute est permis. Les particularit???s de cette sc???ne pleine d'observations et de cou- leurs locales ne peuvent ???tre appr???ci???es qu'entre les buttes de Montmartre et les hauteurs de Montrouge, dans cette illustre vall???e de pl???tras incessamment pr???s de tomber et de ruisseaux noirs de boue; vall???e remplie de souffrances r???elles, de joies souvent fausses, et si terriblement agit???e qu'il faut je ne sais quoi d'exorbitant pour y produire une sensation de quelque dur???e. Cependant il s'y rencontre ?????? et l??? des douleurs que l'agglom???ration des vices et des vertus rend grandes et solennelles: ??? leur aspect, les ???go???smes, les int???r???ts, s'arr???tent et s'apitoient; mais l'impression qu'ils en re???oivent est comme un fruit savoureux promptement d???vor???. Le char de la civilisation, semblable ??? celui de l'idole de Jaggernat, ??? peine retard??? par un coeur moins facile ??? broyer que les autres et qui enraye sa roue, l'a bris
