LM: NEW PRINCIPLES
PART 12 OF LE FLUFF SERIES
After a combination of (1) the canon revelations in the “Javert Derailed” chapter in the Brick and (2) the non-canon realisation that people are easily scared off by him (see here), Javert decides to, in short, be a nicer person who follows his conscience/ the spirit of the law, rather than rigidly adhering to the letter of the law. Here, Javert catches Gavroche’s 2 little brothers stealing bread and lets them off with a warning.
The text in the speech bubbles is as follows:
JAVERT: Remember, it is a crime to steal. Don’t do this again.
GAVROCHE’S LITTLE BROTHER NO. 1: Yes, Inspector Javert!
GAVROCHE’S LITTLE BROTHER NO. 2: We won’t do this again, Monsieur!
