Hugo is totally writing (completely weird) Valjean/Fantine kidfic. It is kind of impossible for me to read that section and not just want them to get together and rescue Cosette and have lots of babies.
FAUCHELEVENT! He is definitely the best! I also love the part where the Reverend Mother congratulates Valjean on being such a great conversationalist despite Fauchelevent not letting him get a word in :)
I vaguely thought the agriculture stuff was supposed to be his peasant background (I think it also comes up as M. Madeleine) but could be wrong?
Oh man, the convent digression was the one that nearly killed my read, even though Waterloo and the sewers are longer and less intrinsically interesting to me -- I think because I knew about them, and I didn't know about the big convent digression...
