    Summary

    Into the smoke and general hum of the Richefeu smoking-room, there entered a sudden and cutting presence. A young man, with curling gold hair and a sharp and dreadful eye was gazing through the room with folded arms. It was Enjolras. Having taken it upon himself to check on his one so called lieutenant he did not trust, he found himself now listening to a churlish dialogue between two men over a lost game of dominos.

    In the immediate aftermath of Enjolras and his Lieutenants, Enjolras takes Grantaire from his game to express his disdain. It seems there is more than that to express.

    Summary

    "How did you find me?" the Count finally asks, to break the silence at last. Albert smiles.
    "It was Vampa. Luigi Vampa."
    "He brought you here? I shall have words with him. Not that I am displeased to see you, of course," he adds, belatedly, not entirely honest, "but the principle still stands."
    “He did not,” Albert explains, seating himself on the sofa with a soft sound. He looks ragged and tired, deep shadows underneath his eyes, but there is a certain glow about him. Perhaps it is his tanned – almost sunburnt – skin, perhaps it is the smile pulling at his lips and his eyes (which, Monte-Cristo unwillingly notices, have developed new wrinkles). “I bullied him into accompanying me here.”
    The Count raises an eyebrow.
    “And he assented?”
    “Well, yes. I had him at gunpoint.”

    Summary

    It was true, Cosette allowed, that he was nothing at all like the beautiful young man from the Luxembourg, but she must not judge him unkindly for that. The world was full of young men, and it would be quite tedious if all the handsome ones were handsome in the same way.

    Summary

    "If I am approved in light of his approval," said Courfeyrac, "it stands to reason that my approval bears the associated weight! Qui agit per alium agit per se!"
    Enjolras said, "Qui facit, facit per se."
    "Facit," Courfeyrac agreed.

    Combeferre, Courfeyrac, and Enjolras are drawn together by the most powerful force in the world: bureaucracy. A lot of really questionable puns, love for southern accents, and human interdependence saves the day.
