Book 3: Fulfilling the Promise Made to the Dead Woman, Chapter 1 av 365 · 5 min att läsa chapter
In Chapter 1, Montfermeil’s distant water sources explain why Cosette fears being sent out after dark, while Christmas visitors fill the Thénardiers’ inn with business and noise. The scene contrasts the adults’ drinking and conversation with Cosette’s unpaid work and the neglect of the Thénardiers’ young son.
Vad händer
- Montfermeil’s high position makes water scarce, and households depend on distant sources or a paid water carrier.
- Cosette serves the Thénardiers and carefully maintains their water supply because she fears visiting the spring at night.
- Christmas entertainers and traveling merchants bring crowds and noise to the village.
- On Christmas Eve, the inn’s customers drink, smoke, discuss politics, and talk about farming.
- Cosette knits stockings while Éponine and Azelma chatter nearby, and a whip hangs beside the fireplace.
- The Thénardiers’ young son cries in the dark, but his mother refuses to attend to him.
