Employs Claire and Solange as her maids. Madame is a wealthy older woman whose husband has been anonymously "denounced" to the police. She lives a lavish lifestyle, wearing furs and drinking champagne, but in Monsieur's absence she sometimes resigns herself to a self-pitying life of mourning. Still, she is aroused by his criminality and fantasizes about breaking him free from prison. She favors Claire, and is scared that the maids will desert her, too. She has occasional whims of generosity, but she often lashes out at the maids.
