2.8.9 Chapter Discussion (Spoilers up to 2.8.9)

Discussion prompts:

1. Vlajean spent his days in meditation, in work, and in prayer. He reflects on his time in the line and he reflects on his time here in the convent. We see his growth and how he begins to settle slowly as time goes on.

2. Cosette has begun to blossom into a happy and joyful little girl. She is so young and has experienced so much pain that it left her utterly defeated. At the end of volume two we get ready to see how she matures under the kind eye of Valjean and the sturdy nature of religious structures.

3. Tomorrow we start Volume three! How have your translations held up? Is there anything you'd like to share up until this point in the book?

4. Do you have any speculations about the next Volume?

Final line:

Cosette was growing up.
