[10m] Give this title quality of a woman who lives in a leaky room with a coconut-wood holy water basin in a story collected with “Saint Julian the Hospitaller” and “Herodias.”
ANSWER: simplicity [or being simple; accept “A Simple Heart,” “Un coeur simple,” or “A Simple Soul”]

ANSWER: Havana [or La Habana; or La Havane]
[10e] Félicité’s simplicity contrasts with the bêtise (“beh-TEEZ”) of this class that Flaubert satirized in “The Dictionary of Received Ideas.” Flaubert declared the “beginning of all virtue” to be the “hatred” of this social class of Homais in Madame Bovary.
