But it is not only this type of woman that Balzac has presented. He painted the /bourgeoise/ in society, as seen in the daughters of /Pere Goriot/, and many others, the various types of the /vieille fille/ such as Mademoiselle Zephirine Guenic (/Beatrix/) who never wished to marry, Cousine Bette who failed in her matrimonial attempts, and Madame Bousquier (/La vieille Fille) who finally succeeded in hers. The working class is represented in such characters as Madame Remonencq (/Le Cousin Pons/) and Madame Cardinal (/Les petits Bourgeois/), while the servant class is well shown in the person of the /grand/ Nanon (/Eugenie Grandet/), the faithful Fanny (/La Grenadiere/), and many others. As has been seen, there is a trace of his old servant, Mere Comin, in the person of Madame Vaillant (/Facino Cane/), and Mere Cognette and La Rabouilleuse (/La Rabouilleuse/) are said to be people he met while visiting Madame Carraud. The novelist must have known many such women, for his mother and sisters had servants, and in the homes of Madame de Berny, Madame Carraud and Madame de Margonne, he certainly knew the servants, not to mention those he observed at the cafes and in his wanderings. Balzac knew several young girls at different periods of his life. His sister Laure was his first and only companion in his earlier years, and he knew his sister Laurence especially well in the years immediately preceding her marriage. Madame Carraud was a schoolmate of Madame Surville and visited in his home as a young girl. He was not only acquainted with the various daughters of Madame de Berny, but at one time there was some prospect of his marrying Julie. Josephine and Constance, daughters of Madame d'Abrantes, were acquaintances of his during their early womanhood. He must have known Mademoiselle de Trumilly as he presented himself as her suitor, and being entertained in her home frequently, doubtless saw her sisters also. Since he accompanied his sister to balls in his youth, it is natural to suppose that he met young girls there, even if there is no record of it. A few years later he became devoted to the two daughters of his sister Laure, and lived with her for a short time. He knew Madame Hanska's daughter Anna in her childhood, but was most intimate with her when she was about twenty. While Madame de Girardin was not so young, he met her several years before her marriage, called her Delphine, and regarded her somewhat as his pupil. He liked Marie de Montbeau and her mother, Camille Delannoy, who was a friend of his sister Laure and the daughter of the family friend, Madame Delannoy. Though not intimate with her, he met and observed Eugenie, the daughter of Madame de Bolognini at Milan, and probably was acquainted with Inez and Hyacinthe, the two daughters of Madame Desbordes-Valmore.
