ADLE HUGO (1830-1915)

" Here is one of the greatest of all love stories....The story of Adle Hugo. Very few know of her....even Wikipedia does not generate a search result and The New York Times reported it recently as `Tragic Life Story of Novelist's Daughter Never Was Revealed'. This then is her story........... Adle Hugo was the youngest daughter of Victor Hugo, author of such famous works as Les Miserables (1862). Adle was born in July 28th, 1830. Victor Hugo's fame developed very early in Adle's life. The Hunchback of Notre Dame was published in 1831 and two of his best plays, The King is Amused (1832) and Ruy Blas (1838), while Adle was still just a little girl. The family suffered a terrible blow in 1843, when Adle was just thirteen, when the older daughter, Lopoldine, whom Victor adored, drowned with her husband. That blow was further aggravated by a career setback for Victor, whose play The Burgraves failed miserably in the same year. Known for her beauty and musical talent, Adle was also prone to fits of mental anguish and obsession. While living in exile on the Channel Islands, Adle met a young English ensign, Albert Andrew Pinson. She immediately fell in love with him, though he showed himself to be a womanizer,ill-tempered and debt-ridden. Shortly after their meeting,Pinson departed to Halifax with the English Army, but kept in touch with Adle through letters. When he was promoted to Lieutenant in 1861, Adele announced to her mortified father that they were to be married. It is not clear, however, if Pinson actually proposed to Adle, or if this was a creation of her own vivid imagination. A year later, Adele escaped her family's watchful eyes and secretly followed her love to his new location. She registered at the Halifax Hotel under the assumed name of "Miss Lewly". No one knew her true identity. Funds soon got scarce, so she rented rooms with local Haligonians, close to the army barracks. Adle's imagination took the better hold of her while in Halifax, for she announced to her family that she was now married, though Pinson maintained they were not. For two years, she spied on Pinson all over Halifax. She often wore black, or donned men's clothes, peering at him through windows during social visits or from carriages parked nearby. One night, she stalked him outside Bellevue Mansion on Spring Garden Road. Pinson discovered her guise and dragged her to the Poor House cemetery, now Grafton Park, where they exchanged heated words. It is not known if they ever met face to face again.
Throughout her stay in Halifax, Adle was feverishly chronicling her activities in a journal, buying paper at James Gossip, Stationer. Pinson was transferred to the Barbados in June of 1866. Adle followed, where she was seen wandering the streets in rags. Eventually she was taken under the wing of Madame Celine Alvarez Baa, who brought her back to Paris, where Victor Hugo was living. Adle was admitted to a mental home by her father at Suresnes at Vincennes, France. She lost her mind and never recovered her reasons. She spent the rest of her life in the institution, and died there in 1915. A film has been made on the subject by Franois Truffaut.
