CADENET, Parisian wine-merchant, in 1840, on the ground-floor of a furnished lodging-house, corner of rue des Postes and rue des Poules.  Cerizet also dwelt there at that time.  Cadenet, who was proprietor of the house, had something to do with the transactions of Cerizet, the “banker of the poor.” [The Middle Classes.]

CADIGNAN (Prince de), a powerful lord of the former regime, father of the Duc de Maufrigneuse, father-in-law of the Duc de Navarreins.  Ruined by the Revolution, he had regained his properties and income on the accession of the Bourbons.  But he was a spendthrift and devoured everything.  He also ruined his wife.  He died at an advanced age some time before the Revolution of July. [The Secrets of a Princess.] At the end of 1829, the Prince de Cadignan, then Grand Huntsman to Charles X., rode in a great chase where were also found, amid a very aristocratic throng, the Duc d’Herouville, organizer of the jaunt, Canalis and Ernest de la Briere, all three of whom were suitors for the hand of Modeste Mignon. [Modeste Mignon.]

CADIGNAN (Prince and Princesse de), son and daughter-in-law of the preceding. (See Maufrigneuse, Duc and Duchesse de.)

CADINE (Jenny), actress at the Gymnase theatre, times of Charles X. and Louis Philippe.  The most frolicsome of women, the only rival of Dejazet.  Born in 1814.  Discovered, trained and “protected” from thirteen years old on, by Baron Hulot.  Intimate friend of Josepha Mirah. [Cousin Betty.] Between 1835 and 1840, while maintained by Couture, she lived on rue Blanche in a delightful little ground-floor flat with its own garden.  Fabien du Ronceret and Mme. Schontz succeeded her here. [Beatrix.] In 1845 she was Massol’s mistress and lived on rue de la Victoire.  At this time, she apparently led astray in short order Palafox Gazonal, who had been taken to her home by Bixiou and Leon de Lora. [The Unconscious Humorists.] About this time she was the victim of a jewelry theft.  After the arrest of the thieves her property was returned by Saint-Esteve—­Vautrin—­who was then chief of the special service. [The Member for Arcis.]

CADOT (Mademoiselle), old servant-mistress of Judge Blondet at Alencon, during the Restoration.  She pampered her master, and, like him, preferred the elder of the magistrate’s two sons. [Jealousies of a Country Town.]

CALVI (Theodore), alias Madeleine.  Born in 1803.  A Corsican condemned to the galleys for life on account of eleven murders committed by the time he was eighteen.  A member of the same gang with Vautrin from 1819 to 1820.  Escaped with him.  Having assassinated the widow Pigeau of Nanterre, in May, 1830, he was rearrested and this time sentenced to death.  The plotting of Vautrin, who bore for him an unnatural affection, saved his life; the sentence was commuted. [Scenes from a Courtesan’s Life.]

CAMBON, lumber merchant, a deputy mayor to Benassis, in 1829, in a community near Grenoble, and a devoted assistant in the work of regeneration undertaken by the doctor. [The Country Doctor.]
