Les Amis

"Who were the Friends of the A B C? A society having as its aim, in appearance, the education of children; in reality, the elevation of men. The Friends of the A B C were not numerous, it was a secret society in the embryonic state; we should almost say a coterie, if coteries produced heroes. They met in Paris, at two places, near the Halles, in a wine shop called Corinthe, and near the Pantheon, in a little coffeehouse on the Place Saint Michel, called Le Cafe Musain... These young men constituted a sort of family among themselves, by force of friendship. All except Laigle were from the South. This was a remarkable group. It has vanished into the invisible depths which are behind us."

Combeferre


"Beside Enjolras who represented the logic of the revolution, Combeferre represented its philosophy.... he said "Revolution, but civilization"; and about the steep mountain he spread the vast blue horizon. Hence, in all Combeferre's views, there was something attainable and practicable.... Combeferre was gentle, as Enjolras was severe, from natural purity."

Arielle, Citizeness
[R]Grammar
Combeferre reflects.

Courfeyrac


"Courfeyrac had in fact that youthful animation which we might call the diabolic beauty of mind. In later life, this dies out, like the playfulness of the kitten, and all that grace ends, on two feet in the bourgeois, and on four paws in the mouser.... Enjolras was the chief, Combeferre was the guide, Courfeyrac was the centre."

Feuilly


"Feuilly was a fan-maker, an orphan, who with difficulty earned three francs a day, and who had but one thought, to deliver the world. He had still another desire -- to instruct himself; which he also called deliverance. He had taught himself to read and write; all that he knew, he had learned alone."

Joly and Bossuet


"Bossuet was a cheery fellow who was unlucky. His specialty was to succeed in nothing. On the other hand, he laughed at everything. At twenty-five he was bald.... He was poor, but his fund of good-humour was inexhaustible... Joly was studying medicine. He was two years younger than Bossuet.... What he had learned in medicine was rather to be a patient than a physician.... Nevertheless, the gayest of all. All these incoherences, young, notional, sickly, joyous, got along very well together, and the result was an eccentric and agreeable person[.]"

Asp, Dessa

Bahorel


"Bahorel was a creature of good humour and bad company, brave, a spendthrift, prodigal almost to generosity, talkative almost to eloquence, bold almost to effrontery... a wholesale blusterer, that is to say, liking nothing so well as a quarrel... unless it were a revolution[.]"
