Lie To The Cops!
For my wife on the occasion of our Silver Anniversary, a reminder from the Bishop of Digne that Jesus would definitely want you to lie to the cops to help someone in need.

One aspect of Les Mis that gets forgotten a lot is how much Hugo stresses that Bishop Myriel is #Not Like Other Bishops--- that his charitable anti-authority behavior is a form of rebellion against the oppressive way the Church usually works and the cruel greedy authoritarian behavior it usually rewards. And since the dracula-daily-ish @lesmisletters is in its swing I should probably write an overlong Les Mis analysis post on that, but for now have this moodboard that came into my head and wouldn't leave until I photoshoppped it into reality

I have just realized that the reader still does not know what crime Jean Valjean committed. At this point, there is still a chance that he was a murderer, creating suspense about his stay at the bishop’s household. This is heightened by Valjean’s sudden outburst, "a laugh in which there lurked something monstrous: 'Have you really reflected well? How do you know that I have not been an assassin?'" His "snuffing out the candle with his nostrils after the manner of convicts" might also unsettle first-time readers. The bishop’s trust in God may appear too careless and naive. I am genuinely curious about the perception of readers unfamiliar with the story.
