I begin to understand why this book is so long. Having got back to the plot for a bit after Waterloo, I've just struggled through a massive digression on convents, but I think I've finally found the story again.

Page 1143. Yess, the sewer chapter! I actually thought it was less tedious than previous discussions of gamins and convents.

Page 887. Sadly, after a solid chunk of the actual story, we're back off on a diversion - this time on the origin of slang.

And I still haven't reached the "infamous sewer chapter"!

Still going. I wish there were fewer digressions.

Waterloo as told by the French. That was an interesting 50pg digression from the actual plot.

Finished part one (Fantine) yesterday. Not quite sure why part two (Cossette) starts with a long and detailed digression on the Battle of Waterloo.

Well, I'd always thought this was about the 1789 French Revolution. Actually, it's the later one.
