really endeared by this thing victor hugo does where we wont see jean valjean for a few chapters and then he'll be like. and here is a MAN who is EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG and KIND and QUIET and depending on whether or not its post m. sur m. has WHITE HAIR and NO ONE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM and ill say victor is this man jean valjean? and he'll say no...🤭 its just some other man who happens to have INCREDIBLE STRENGTH which is VERY CONVENIENT and allows him to do something no one else could. and then like three pages later he'll go suprise! it was jean valjean all along! and i'll pretend to be suprised. its like peekaboo for 186-s french men
