KOLB (Marion), wife of the preceding, with whom she became acquainted
while at the home of David Sechard. She was, at first, in the service
of the Angouleme printer, Jerome-Nicholas Sechard, for whom she had

constant, childlike devotion. [Lost Illusions.]
KOUSKI, Polish lancer in the French Royal Guards, lived very unhappily
in 1815-16, but enjoyed life better the following year. At that time

of the grateful Kouski. [A Bachelor's Establishment.]

valid the situation of Zena Kropoli, arrived a few days after her
death. [The Peasantry.]
