LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - In Which Little Gavroche Extracts Profit from Napoleon the Great, LM 4.6.2 (Les Miserables 1972)
The child, in consternation, dismayed at the thought of mice which ate cats, pursued:—
“Sir, would those mice eat us?”
“Wouldn’t they just!” ejaculated Gavroche.
The child’s terror had reached its climax. But Gavroche added:—
“Don’t be afraid. They can’t get in. And besides, I’m here! Here, catch hold of my hand. Hold your tongue and shut your peepers!”
At the same time Gavroche grasped the little fellow’s hand across his brother. The child pressed the hand close to him, and felt reassured. Courage and strength have these mysterious ways of communicating themselves.
The gamin is dead, long live the gamin. It might seem strange, but I actually find this chapter reassuring. The Momes are alive! They managed to survive on the streets for several months. It means that Gavroche’s brief course of gamin’s survival was effective! The elder brother taking care of the younger, much like how Gavroche looked after them both, is heartwarming. And the boy’s final words to his brother, “Ram that into your muzzle,” suggest he also mastered the gamin slang. In a way, it signifies that he has taken Gavroche’s place. Not that it’s a great place, perpetuating children’s misery, but it is a nice way to immortalize Gavroche.
It was good to be back at the Luxembourg after a long break. And it’s nice to get away from the barricade. The beautiful description of the garden on the summer morning is a pleasant bonus. However, it was quite painful to read. The Momes were only able to enter the garden because it was closed and unguarded due to the insurrection. And the bourgeois man with the boy is quite intolerable. I want him to shut up – just ram your muzzle!
This is a gentle reminder to go drink some water, lovelies. It’s been a rough day but it will get worse if you get dehydrated. Take a minute if you can and go outside and take a deep breath and remember you are brilliant, and worthy, and loved and everything is gonna be ok.
*Note: tea can dehydrate you if it has caffeine so drink some real water 😉*
okay but my fav little thing is how whenever Lee Know has a singing moment where it's largely just him up on the stage, you can tell he still gets really nervous about it but Seungmin's always off to the side smiling and amping him up, telling fans to sing along- like you can tell he's trying to boost his confidence and its so :((
