The "only fine phrase" this character "ever made" is the line "It is the fault of fatality!" In this character's first appearance, he owns an embarrassingly fancy hat "whose dumb ugliness has depths of expression, like an imbecile's face". While leaving a ball at La Vaubyessard, he picks up a green silk cigar case that later comes to fascinate his (*) wife. After this man moves from Tostes to Yonville, his daughter Berthe is born. Monsieur Canivet has to be called in after this man cuts through the Achilles tendon during a botched operation on Hippolyte's club foot. For 10 points, name this doctor who discovers evidence of affairs with Leon and Rodolphe only after the death of his wife Emma in a Gustave Flaubert novel.
