The ten travellers decide for various reasons to leave Rouen and flee to Le Havre in a stagecoach. Sharing the carriage are Boule de Suif or "Butterball" (lit. suet dumpling, also translated as ball of fat), a prostitute whose real name is Elisabeth Rousset; the strict Democrat Cornudet; a shop–owning couple from the petty bourgeoisie, M. and Mme. Loiseau; a wealthy upper–bourgeoisie factory–owner and his wife, M. and Mme. Carré–Lamadon; the Comte and Comtesse of Bréville; and two nuns.
