2.8.2 chapter discussion (spoilers up to 2.8.2)

Discussion prompts:

1. We see some of Fauchelevent's plan, do you think it's a good plan, given that Valjean is very fit, alert and strong, which may not be valued for a man in a convent?

2. What is the iron lever for?

3. Anything else on this chapter that you want to discuss?

Last line:

Fauchelevent was left on his own.
