"Monsieur de Pourceaugnac" is the name of one of Molière's farces, and there is some Latin in it; but Daudet probably had in mind "Le Médecin malgré lui," II, 6.

<i<»I feel confident that a conduct, so contrary to good faith, can never have been sanctioned by the king of the French, and the character of his first minister affords me an equal assurance, that it requires only to be known to him, to be disavowed in the most direct and effectual manner.

Daudet's first intention was to entitle this work "Nord et midi," his idea being to contrast the north with the south, a theme for which he always had a predilection.
