Zèphe Maloret — The Green Mare (1959)

Zèphe is Margerite’s father and a member of the rival Maloret family. He discusses the hostility between the Malorets and Haudouins and considers how Margerite’s attraction to Honoré might be used to manipulate him.

Le père de François — Repeated Absences (1972)

François’s father urges him to pull himself together and accept what he describes as the harsh rules of life.

The summary does not describe any later change in their relationship.

Marcel Pitou, l'évadé des HLM — Idiot in Paris (1967)

Marcel Pitou is an escapee from HLM housing who meets Goubi in Paris. He delivers an agitated speech about fleeing the oppressive noise and confinement of council housing.
