Dr. Lorrain
Also known as Métivier

- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 9
Dr. Lorrain moves with an almost theatrical grace: very tall, handsome, and careful in every gesture, his delicate white fingers seeming to do as much speaking as his words. His polished manners and French-accented speech lend him an air of cultivated confidence, though there is something slightly mannered in the impression he leaves.

Dr. Lorrain, also called Métivier, appears as a physician moving within the aristocratic world of the novel. His graceful poses, French speech with poor pronunciation, and measured medical gestures make him a conspicuously polished presence. He attends a sick man with quiet confidence, feeling for the pulse with delicate fingers. His role remains a brief one, defined by his professional manner and the impression he makes on those around him.
Description
Dr. Lorrain is described as handsome and enormously tall, with a shock of black hair. His delicate white fingers and graceful, deliberate poses are especially distinctive, giving even ordinary gestures an air of studied elegance. He speaks French with poor pronunciation and carries himself with respectful composure. The text does not specify his eye color, complexion, exact build, or precise clothing, so those details should remain open.
