Speaker:

Les Miserables by Victor

Speaker:

Hugo, volume

Speaker:

three Marius

Speaker:

book first Paris studied in

Speaker:

its atom. Chapter

Speaker:

one marvelous

Speaker:

Paris has a child and the

Speaker:

forest has a bird. The bird is called the

Speaker:

sparrow. The child is called the Gamin.

Speaker:

>> Brie Carlisle: Couple.

Speaker:

>> Brie Carlisle: These two ideas which contain the one all

Speaker:

the furnace, the other all the dawn

Speaker:

strike these two sparks together.

Speaker:

Paris childhood there

Speaker:

leaps out from them a little being. Homuncio

Speaker:

Plautus, would say this little

Speaker:

being is joyous. He has not food every day and

Speaker:

he goes to the play every evening if he sees good.

Speaker:

He has no shirt on his body, no shoes on his

Speaker:

feet, no roof over his head. He

Speaker:

is like the flies of heaven who have none of these things.

Speaker:

He is from seven to 13 years of age. He

Speaker:

lives in bands, roams the streets,

Speaker:

lodges in the open air, wears an old pair of

Speaker:

trousers of his fathers which descend below his

Speaker:

heels an old hat of some other father

Speaker:

which descends below his ears. A single

Speaker:

suspender of yellow listing he runs,

Speaker:

lies in wait, rummages about, wastes

Speaker:

time, blackens pipes, swears like a

Speaker:

convicted haunts the wine shop, knows

Speaker:

thieves, calls gay women. Thou talks

Speaker:

slang, sings obscene songs, and has no

Speaker:

evil in his heart. This is because he has

Speaker:

in his heart a pearl.

Speaker:

Innocence and pearls are not to be

Speaker:

dissolved in mud. So long as man is in his

Speaker:

childhood. God wills that he shall be innocent.

Speaker:

If one were to ask that enormous city, what is this?

Speaker:

She would reply, it is my little one.

Speaker:
