Speaker:

Les Miserables M by Victor Hugo

Speaker:

chapter nine the old soul of

Speaker:

Ghal there was something

Speaker:

of that boy in Pokholan, the son of the

Speaker:

fish market. Beau Marquet had

Speaker:

something of it. Kaminiri is a shade of

Speaker:

the gallic spirit mingled with sense.

Speaker:

It sometimes adds force to the

Speaker:

latter, as alcohol does to wine.

Speaker:

Sometimes it is a defect. Homer

Speaker:

repeats himself eternally. Granted, 1 may

Speaker:

say, that Voltaire plays the gamin. Camille das

Speaker:

Mullins was a native of the Faubourgs

Speaker:

championet, who treated miracles brutally. Rose from

Speaker:

the pavements of Paris. He had when

Speaker:

a small lad inundated the porticos of Saint John de

Speaker:

Beauvais and of Saint Etain Dumont,

Speaker:

he had addressed the shrine of Saint Genevieve familiarly, to

Speaker:

give orders to the feel of St. Januaris.

Speaker:

The gamin of Paris is respectful, ironical,

Speaker:

and insolent. He has villainous teeth because

Speaker:

hes badly fed and his stomach suffers,

Speaker:

and handsome eyes because he has wit. If

Speaker:

Jehovah himself were present, he would go hopping up the

Speaker:

steps of paradise on 1ft. He is strong

Speaker:

on boxing. All beliefs are possible to

Speaker:

him. He plays in the gutter and straightens himself up with

Speaker:

a revolt. His effentry persists even in the

Speaker:

presence of grapeshot. He was a

Speaker:

scapegrace. He is a hero, like the little

Speaker:

Thabian. He shakes the skin from the lion.

Speaker:

Bera, the drummer boy, was a gamin of Paris. He

Speaker:

shouts forward as the horse of scripture

Speaker:

says, va ah. And in a moment he has

Speaker:

passed from the small brat to the giant.

Speaker:

This child of the puddle is also the child of the

Speaker:

ideal measure, that spread of wings which

Speaker:

reaches from Moliere to Bera. To sum up

Speaker:

the whole and in one word, Nagamon is a

Speaker:

being who amuses himself because he is unhappy.

Speaker:
