Overview

The tag covers a father and son, both deputies, introduced to Marie as friends of her (Bonapartist) party; the Mon Journal t.9 index separates them: «Janvier de La Motte (Eugène) (ancien préfet et député)», «Janvier de La Motte (Louis) (conseiller général et député)» and «Janvier de La Motte (Mlle), sœur de Louis».

  • Eugène Janvier de La Motte (1823–1884), prefect under the Second Empire (the Eure among other departments), later deputy (BnF authority record for his son; franco.wiki mirror of fr.wikipedia, "Eugène Janvier de La Motte (1823-1884)"). Marie's «M. de La Motte père», «chef de son parti» (067.1232).
  • Louis Janvier de La Motte (1849–1894), conseiller général and deputy for Maine-et-Loire from 1876 (BnF authority record, data.bnf.fr). Marie's «le Fils», «le jeune député», «Vingt-sept ou vingt-huit ans» (067.1236–1237).

In the Diary

  • 067/1876-11-26: Mme de Mertens takes Marie and Dina to the Chamber at Versailles; the trip turns out to be «une vraie entrevue de mariage» with Louis (067.1251), and the father's talk on the way back of «ma constitution, de mon sang, de ma chair… comme d'une jument pour un haras» (067.1260) disgusts her.
