Les Mis 1
LES MIS CHAPTER 1
The First Chapter of Les Mis (Les Miserables) basically introduces the cast. The Bishop named Charales-Fransico-Bienvenu Myriel or M. Myriel for short is a " well-formed, though rather short in stature, elegant, graceful, intelligent; the whole of the first portion of his life had been devoted to the world and to gallantry." The other characters described are two housemaid one named Mademoiselle Baptiste and the other named Madame Magloire. Mademoiselle Baptiste is a "long, pale, thin, gentle creature; she realized the ideal expressed by the word “respectable”; for it seems that a woman must needs to be a mother in order to be venerable." While Madame Magloire is a "little, fat, white old woman, corpulent and bustling; always out of breath,--in the first place, because of her activity, and in the next, because of her asthma."
