... Madame Marneffe, qui n'est
autre qu'une sur inconnue de madame Adeline Hulot, s'est mis en
tête de venger un outrage quelconque qu'elle croit avoir été fait
autrefois à sa famille, et, pour cela, elle soutire deux cent mille
francs à Hulot, une maison à Crevei, qui a aussi
quelques peccadilles à solder, aidée par Marneffe, lequel
n'est pas son mari, mais simplement un spadassin à ses ordres. (Histoire
de l'art dramatique en France depuis vingt-cinq ans, Gautier, 1859.
