We are moving a little further back in time. I don’t mind: this way, the finale is postponed. Hugo has decided to explain how M. Mabeuf joined Les Amis.
The fact that Courfeyrac recognized Father Mabeuf is quite curious because previously, Hugo seemed to suggest that these two friends of Marius hadn’t met. Now it turns out that Courfeyrac had accompanied Marius to Mabeuf’s house many times. It seems that Marius and Courfeyrac were much closer.
When M. Mabeuf first encountered Les Amis, he was an extremely pitiful sight; you just want to hug him and cry. He walked “in zig-zag,” was hatless and soaked with rain, and he obviously did not seem to belong to where he was. So, it’s understandable, but also adorable, that Courfeyrac insisted that the old man return home. Of course, he did not know that he had nothing to return to. But it appears that this short dialogue with Courfeyrac added some determination and confidence to Father Mabeuf. Now he knows he is not alone; he found someone who knows what it’s all for. His steps grew firm, and the students even suspect that he was a former member of the Convention. Knowing Mabeufs’ history, that’s a funny theory.
