Question
Rowdy youths bewilder and mock this man by applying the suffix -orama to several words, since they had just heard about the debut of the diorama. A younger character spying on this character through a peephole exclaims that this character must be as strong as King Augustus of Poland after seeing him bending metal with his bare hands. This character pawns his only remaining possessions, some silverware and buckles, to pay off a dressmaker, having earlier lost his fortunes when his two (*) daughters’ husbands gambled and speculated it away. This former war profiteer and vermicelli maker lives in Madame Vauquer’s boarding house with the criminal Vautrin and the social climber Eugene de Rastignac [[“oo-zhen de rast-in-nyack”]]. For 10 points, what elderly character titles the most read novel in Balzac’s Human Comedy? ■END■
