Serge Mouret, the younger son of Francois Mouret (see La Conquete
de Plassans), was ordained to the priesthood and appointed cure of
Les Artaud, a squalid village in Provence, to whose degenerate
inhabitants he ministered with small encouragement. He had
inherited the family taint of the Rougon-Macquarts, which in him
took the same form as in the case of his mother--a morbid religious
enthusiasm bordering on hysteria. Brain fever followed, and bodily
recovery left the priest without a mental past. Dr. Pascal Rougon,
his uncle, hoping to save his reason, removed him from his
accustomed surroundings and left him at the Paradou, the neglected
demesne of a ruined mansion-house near Les Artaud, where he was
nursed by Albine, niece of the caretaker.
