“No! No! Let us never illuminate the people with artificial light.”
courfeyrac saying this to mr combe-“why not wait till daybreak?”-ferre always makes me laugh.
also,
“Combeferre defended it mildly, Courfeyrac was energetically battering it.”
makes me laugh too. (can you tell i’m mixing translations?) the word “battering” after describing courf as a kitten who will grow into a tomcat is so funny. it also shows combeferres place in the group. he’s pretty much just indulging courfeyrac! they’re so cute. the kitten and his motherdog! ferre is sillier than we give him credit for! he sings after shutting marius up! who else but ferre?!
also also, grantaire wants to buy the pants that will get him the ladies. the lady in question is a 17 year old girl, who is actually a 22 year old man. hah! wasn’t everyone “yours if you wanted”, r?
also also also, i love that they kept the joke of “jolllly” going past it’s introduction. it’s one of my favorite funny nicknames. isn’t it cute that the two big nicknames are for our jolllly and bossuet?
