BOOK 4: TO CONFIDE IS SOMETIMES TO DELIVER INTO A PERSON'S POWER: There was, at Montfermeil, near Paris, during the first quarter of this century, a sort of cook-shop which no longer exists. This cook-shop was kept by some people named Thénardier, husband and wife. It was situated in Boulanger Lane.
