Monsieur de Boville serves as a minor functionary whose fifteen years as prison inspector have left him with an air of bureaucratic despair. His transition to detective police and later role as chief treasurer of almshouses marks him as a man caught in the machinery of officialdom, his insignificant appearance making him easy to overlook in the grander schemes around him.
Description
An insignificant-looking man with appropriate expression of face, dressed in black with crepe on his sleeve. He has the bearing of someone who has spent fifteen years as a prison inspector, now serving as chief treasurer of almshouses.
