Love your second-day gift though. ^^ Make sure you get the C.E. Wilbour translation, and certainly not that crappy 1998 movie. As if botching Javert's suicide wasn't enough horror, when Fantine was haggling with Fat Rich Dude she said, "one franc," then after he balked, "fifty sous."
There are twenty sous in a franc.
I wanted to beat the scriptwriters to death with an encyclopedia. Research. It's a wonderful thing.
