Who is the old friend that Florent encounters upon his return to Paris?

The charcuterie is a butcher shop once owned by Florent's Uncle Gradelle, who has since died. The Quenu-Gradelle charcuterie is now owned and operated by Florent's younger brother, known simply as Quenu. Quenu is now married to La Belle Lisa and they have a little girl named Pauline. Upon seeing his older brother once again, Quenu is beside himself with emotion. Florent meets La Belle Lisa, his sister-in-law, and Pauline, his niece. Lisa's first impression of Florent is that he is much too thin. La Belle Lisa welcomes Florent warmly after seeing her husband's reaction to the long-lost man.
