I had a quick hunt around for the answer to this question, but I haven’t found it yet…
So this bit of Les Mis:
“By the way!”
“What is it, father?”
“Have not you an intimate friend?”
“Yes, Courfeyrac.”
“What has become of him?”
“He is dead.”
“That is good.”
WHY DOES HE THINK THAT’S GOOD? (And shouldn’t Marius call his grandfather out on that, because ouch?)
