I have finished the section on Waterloo and how it connects to Cosette and the Thernadieres, Mr. Thernadier being one of the robbers of the dead after the war. Cosette and Jean Valjean have once again escaped the clutches of Javert and are hiding inside a convent. A very weird convent of which it is easier to read then describe. I think this is why it is not shown in the movie, or why we did not discuss as a class.
Anyway I am in a new section Part 3 Marius. Book one in this section is all about the street urchins of Paris, it is very descriptive and almost makes you want to be one of the carefree ones with no chores, except to make some coin for food or play five finger discount. I am sure this is where we will be introduced to the Thernadiers son who is a non-entity, he was described as a baby who kept crying in the last section. The Missus was all about her girls and did nothing for her son, I am not sure how he survived but we are several years into the future from Part 2 where he was first brought into play.
This almost puts me half-way through the book. YEAH. With this cold and flu I am able to read, so who knows when I will finish. Pleasant journeys and be happy to be part of a family.
