Book 2: The Fall, Chapter 4 de 365 · 6 min para leer el chapter
In Chapter 4, Mademoiselle Baptistine describes how the Bishop feeds Jean Valjean and discusses work near Pontarlier without questioning him about his past. She reads his restraint as a form of charity that protects the guest’s dignity, while the household prepares to give the tired traveler a warm bed.
