2.8.3 chapter discussion (spoilers up to 2.8.3)

Discussion prompts:

1. Is this to most that Hugo has relied on direct dialogue to progress the story? (Rather than descriptive prose, for example.)

2. Did you find "More Often" a little comic interlude?

3. It was very interesting to hear how passionate the prioress was! There were a lot of historical references too, and she made clear that adherence to religion was the most important thing. ("He's only a king", for example.)

4. Things are beginning to work out for Valjean and Cosette?

Last line

'Tomorrow after the burial, bring your brother to me, and tell him to bring his daughter.'
